class KMimeType |
|
Represent a mime type, like "text/plain", and the data that is associated
with it.
The starting point you need is often the static methods. KMimeType inherits KServiceType because "text/plain" can be used to find services (apps and components) "which can open text/plain". See also KServiceType |
|
Internal Construct a service from a stream.
The stream must already be positionned at the correct offset |
|
Construct a mimetype and take all information from an XML file.
fullpath - the path to the xml that describes the mime type name - the name of the mimetype (usually the end of the path) comment - the comment associated with the mimetype |

|
Get all the mimetypes.
Useful for showing the list of available mimetypes. More memory consuming than the ones above, don't use unless really necessary. Returns the list of all existing KMimeTypes |
|
Returns the descriptive comment associated with the MIME type.
The url argument is unused, but provided so that KMimeType derived classes
can use it.
Returns The descriptive comment associated with the MIME type, if any. |
|
Returns the name of the default mimetype. Always application/octet-stream, but this method exists for performance purposes. Returns the name of the default mime type, always "application/octet-stream" |
|
Returns the default mimetype. Always application/octet-stream. This can be used to check the result of mimeType(name). Returns the "application/octet-stream" mimetype pointer. |
|
Determines the extension from a filename (or full path) using the mimetype database. This allows to extract "tar.bz2" for foo.tar.bz2 but still return "txt" for my.doc.with.dots.txt |
|
Return the "favicon" (see http://www.favicon.com) for the given url,
if available. Does NOT attempt to download the favicon, it only returns
one that is already available.
If unavailable, returns QString(). url - the URL of the favicon Returns the name of the favicon, or QString() |
|
Tries to find out the MIME type of a data chunk by looking for
certain magic numbers and characteristic strings in it.
data - the data to examine accuracy - If not a null pointer, *accuracy is set to the accuracy of the match (which is in the range 0..100) Returns a pointer to the KMimeType. 0 if the type can not be found this way. |
|
Tries to find out the MIME type of a file by looking for
certain magic numbers and characteristic strings in it.
This function is similar to the previous one. Note that the
file name is not used for determining the file type, it is just
used for loading the file's contents.
fileName - the path to the file accuracy - If not a null pointer, *accuracy is set to the accuracy of the match (which is in the range 0..100) Returns a pointer to the KMimeType, or the default mimetype (application/octet-stream) if the file cannot be opened. |
|
Tries to find out the MIME type of filename/url and a data chunk.
Whether to trust the extension or the data depends on the results of both approaches,
and is determined automatically.
This method is useful for instance in the get() method of kioslaves, and anywhere else where a filename is associated with some data which is available immediately. name - the filename or url representing this data. Only used for the extension, not used as a local filename. data - the data to examine when the extension isn't conclusive in itself mode - the mode of the file (used, for example, to identify executables) accuracy - If not a null pointer, *accuracy is set to the accuracy of the match (which is in the range 0..100) |
|
Finds a KMimeType with the given url.
This function looks at mode_t first.
If that does not help it
looks at the extension. This is fine for FTP, FILE, TAR and
friends, but is not for HTTP ( cgi scripts! ). You should use
KRun instead, but this function returns immediately while
KRun is async. If no extension matches, then
the file contents will be examined if the URL is a local file, or
"application/octet-stream" is returned otherwise.
Equivalent to KUrl u; u.setPath(path); return findByUrl( u, mode, true, fast_mode ); path - the path to the file mode - the mode of the file (used, for example, to identify executables) fast_mode - If set to true no disk access is allowed to find out the mimetype. The result may be suboptimal, but it is fast. accuracy - If not a null pointer, *accuracy is set to the accuracy of the match (which is in the range 0..100) Returns A pointer to the matching mimetype. 0 is never returned. |

url - Is the right most URL with a filesystem protocol. It is up to you to find out about that if you have a nested URL. For example "http://localhost/mist.gz#gzip:/decompress" would have to pass the "http://..." URL part, while "file:/tmp/x.tar#tar:/src/test.gz#gzip:/decompress" would have to pass the "tar:/..." part of the URL, since gzip is a filter protocol and not a filesystem protocol. mode - the mode of the file (used, for example, to identify executables) is_local_file - true if the file is local; false if not, or if you don't know. fast_mode - If set to true no disk access is allowed to find out the mimetype. The result may be suboptimal, but it is fast. accuracy - if set, the accuracy of the result, between 0 and 100. For instance, when the extension was used to determine the mimetype, the accuracy is set to 80, as per the shared-mime spec. Some 'magic' rules (used when !fast_mode) have an accuracy > 80 (and have priority over the filename, others are < 80). Returns A pointer to the matching mimetype. 0 is never returned. Very Important: Don't store the result in a KMimeType* ! |
|
Return the filename of the icon associated with the mimetype.
Use KIconLoader.loadMimeTypeIcon to load the icon.
The url argument is unused, but is provided so that KMimeType-derived classes can use it (e.g. KFolderType uses the URL to return one out of 2 icons) Returns The path to the icon associated with this MIME type. |
|
Return the filename of the icon associated with the mimetype, for a given url.
Use KIconLoader.loadMimeTypeIcon to load the icon.
url - URL for the file mode - the mode of the file. The mode may modify the icon with overlays that show special properties of the icon. Use 0 for default Returns the name of the icon. The name of a default icon if there is no icon for the mime type |
|
Internal for kbuildsycoca. Don't ever use this, or else... |
|
Do not use name()=="somename" anymore, to check for a given mimetype. For mimetype inheritance to work, use is("somename") instead. Warning, do not use inherits(), that's the servicetype inheritance concept! is() also supports mimetype aliases. |
|
Returns whether a file has an internal format that is not human readable. This is much more generic than "not mime->is(text/plain)". Many application file formats (like rtf and postscript) are based on text, but text that the user should rarely ever see. |
|
Returns whether a buffer has an internal format that is not human readable. This is much more generic than "not mime->is(text/plain)". Many application file formats (like rtf and postscript) are based on text, but text that the user should rarely ever see. |
|
Return true if this mimetype is the default mimetype |
|
Retrieve a pointer to the mime type name .
Very important: Don't store the result in a KMimeType* ! Also note that you get a new KMimeType pointer every time you call this. Don't ever write code that compares mimetype pointers, compare names instead. name - the name of the mime type Returns the pointer to the KMimeType with the given name, or 0 if not found See also KServiceType.serviceType |
|
If this mimetype inherits from ("is also") another mimetype,
return the name of the parent.
For instance a text/x-log is a special kind of text/plain, so the definition of text/x-log can say sub-class-of type="text/plain" Or an smb-workgroup is a special kind of inode/directory, etc. This mechanism can also be used to rename mimetypes and preserve compat. Note that this notion doesn't map to the servicetype inheritance mechanism, since an application that handles the specific type doesn't necessarily handle the base type. The opposite is true though. WARNING: this method does not support multiple inheritance, which is actually part of the shared-mime-info standard. Use is() instead of parentMimeType() Returns the parent mime type, or QString() if not set |
|
Retrieve the list of patterns associated with the MIME Type. Returns a list of file globs that describe the file names (or, usually, the extensions) of files with this mime type |
