Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "gtk_source_file_get_type ()" ) ]
public class File : Object

On-disk representation of a [class@Buffer].

A `GtkSourceFile` object is the on-disk representation of a [class@Buffer]. With a `GtkSourceFile`, you can create and configure a [ class@FileLoader] and [class@FileSaver] which take by default the values of the `GtkSourceFile` properties (except for the file loader which auto-detect some properties). On a successful load or save operation, the `GtkSourceFile` properties are updated. If an operation fails, the `GtkSourceFile` properties have still the previous valid values.
