    )

#### Description

Creates a `GFile` corresponding to a filename that was given as part of the invocation of `cmdline`.

  An argument from `cmdline`.

  The data is owned by the caller of the method.
  The value is a file system path, using the OS encoding.

#### Return value

Type: `GFile`

A new `GFile`.

The caller of the method takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
