## Description

A anjuta session contains local user settings, by example the list of files open in one project. These settings are stored in a .ini-like config file in a directory named session. Other libraries can store their own settings in another format in the same directory.

session | an AnjutaSession object |
file | a GFile |
fragment | an optional fragment |

#### Returns

A string that has to be freed with `g_free()`.

### anjuta_session_get_file_from_relative_uri ()

    GFile *
    anjuta_session_get_file_from_relative_uri
                                   (AnjutaSession *session,

                                    const gchar **fragment);

Return a GFile corresponding to the URI and and optional fragment, normally read from a session key. The path is expected to be relative to the session directory but it works with an absolute URI, in this case it returns the same file than g_file_new_for_uri. It is useful to keep only relative file paths in a session file to be able to copy the whole project without breaking references.

#### Parameters

session | an AnjutaSession object |
uri | a relative URI from a key |
fragment | fragment part of the URI if existing, can be `NULL`. | [allow-none]

#### Returns

A new GFile that has to be freed with `g_object_unref()`.
