### Virtual Method

# Nautilus FileInfo get_parent_info

#### Declaration [src]

    NautilusFileInfo*
    get_parent_info (
      NautilusFileInfo* file_info
    )

#### Description [src]

It’s not safe to call this recursively multiple times, as it works only for files already cached by Nautilus.

#### Return value

Type: `NautilusFileInfo`

A `NautilusFileInfo` for the parent of `file_info`, or `NULL` if `file_info` has no parent.

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