Corresponding is gio.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_BOOLEAN. gio.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_NAME "standard::name" A key in the "standard" namespace for getting the name of the file.

Files with smaller sort order should be sorted first, and files without sort order as if sort order was zero. gio.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ETAG_VALUE "etag::value" A key in the "etag" namespace for getting the value of the file's entity tag. Corresponding is gio.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING. gio.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ID_FILE "id::file" A key in the "id" namespace for getting a file identifier. Corresponding is gio.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING.
