+ * g_file_test:
+ * @filename: a filename to test in the GLib file name encoding
+ * @test: bitfield of #GFileTest flags
+ * 
+ * Returns %TRUE if any of the tests in the bitfield @test are
+ * %TRUE. For example, <literal>(G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS | 
+ * G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR)</literal> will return %TRUE if the file exists; 
+ * the check whether it's a directory doesn't matter since the existence 
+ * test is %TRUE. With the current set of available tests, there's no point
+ * passing in more than one test at a time.
+ * 
+ * Apart from %G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK all tests follow symbolic links,
+ * so for a symbolic link to a regular file g_file_test() will return
+ * %TRUE for both %G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK and %G_FILE_TEST_IS_REGULAR.
+ *
+ * Note, that for a dangling symbolic link g_file_test() will return
+ * %TRUE for %G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK and %FALSE for all other flags.
+ *
+ * You should never use g_file_test() to test whether it is safe
+ * to perform an operation, because there is always the possibility
+ * of the condition changing before you actually perform the operation.
+ * For example, you might think you could use %G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK
+ * to know whether it is is safe to write to a file without being
+ * tricked into writing into a different location. It doesn't work!
+ *
+ * <informalexample><programlisting>
+ * /&ast; DON'T DO THIS &ast;/
+ *  if (!g_file_test (filename, G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK)) {
+ *    fd = g_open (filename, O_WRONLY);
+ *    /&ast; write to fd &ast;/
+ *  }
+ * </programlisting></informalexample>
+ *
+ * Another thing to note is that %G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS and
+ * %G_FILE_TEST_IS_EXECUTABLE are implemented using the access()
+ * system call. This usually doesn't matter, but if your program
+ * is setuid or setgid it means that these tests will give you
+ * the answer for the real user ID and group ID, rather than the
+ * effective user ID and group ID.
+ *
+ * On Windows, there are no symlinks, so testing for
+ * %G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK will always return %FALSE. Testing for
+ * %G_FILE_TEST_IS_EXECUTABLE will just check that the file exists and
+ * its name indicates that it is executable, checking for well-known
+ * extensions and those listed in the %PATHEXT environment variable.
+ *
+ * Return value: whether a test was %TRUE

+ * @tmpl should be a string in the GLib file name encoding ending with

+ * However, unlike these functions, the template should only be a
+ * basename, no directory components are allowed. If template is

+ *
+ * Note that in contrast to g_mkstemp() (and mkstemp()) 
+ * @tmpl is not modified, and might thus be a read-only literal string.

+ * The actual name used is returned in @name_used if non-%NULL. This
+ * string should be freed with g_free() when not needed any longer.
+ * The returned name is in the GLib file name encoding.
+ *
+ * Return value: A file handle (as from open()) to

+ * mode on platforms where there is a difference. The file handle should be
+ * closed with close(). In case of errors, -1 is returned
