### Function

# GLib Uripeek_scheme

since: 2.66

#### Declaration [src]

    const char*
    g_uri_peek_scheme (
      const char* uri
    )

#### Description [src]

Gets the scheme portion of a URI string. RFC 3986 decodes the scheme as:

    URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]

Common schemes include `file`, `https`, `svn+ssh`, etc.

Unlike g_uri_parse_scheme(), the returned scheme is normalized to all-lowercase and does not need to be freed.

Available since: 2.66

#### Parameters

`uri`

  Type: `const char*`

  A valid URI.

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

#### Return value

Type: `const char*`

The ‘scheme’ component of the URI, or `NULL` on error. The returned string is normalized to all-lowercase, and interned via g_intern_string(), so it does not need to be freed.

The data is owned by the called function.
The return value can be `NULL`.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
