Description: Reference for Gimp.file_new_for_config_path

### Function

# Gimpfile_new_for_config_path

since: 2.10

#### Declaration [src]

    GFile*
    gimp_file_new_for_config_path (
      const gchar* path,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Expands `path` using `gimp_config_path_expand()` and returns a `GFile` for the expanded path.

To reverse the expansion, use gimp_file_get_config_path().

Available since: 2.10

#### Parameters

`path`

  Type: `const gchar*`

  A NUL-terminated string in UTF-8 encoding.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`error`

  Type: `GError **`

  The return location for a recoverable error.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  If the return location is not `NULL`, then you must initialize it to a `NULL` `GError*`.
  The argument will be left initialized to `NULL` by the function if there are no errors.
  In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated `GError`; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

#### Return value

Type: `GFile`

A newly allocated `GFile`, or `NULL` if the expansion failed.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
The return value can be `NULL`.
