KDE 4.1 API Reference kpilot
%KPilot API Overview
4.0
Architecture
KPilot consists of a core library of utility and communications classes which are used by two applications: KPilot itself (which is little more than a clumsy data viewer and configuration shell) and the KPilot daemon which does the actual communications with the hadheld. The daemon loads plugins (called conduits) on demand which are used for syncing specific data on the PC with the handheld.The lib/ directory holds the base library for KPilot. This boils down to a bunch of wrappers for pilot-link classes (not using p-l's C++ code because that isn't Qt-ish) and a few classes that do interesting things: KPilotDeviceLink for managing the device connection, and SyncAction for doing stuff during a sync.
The kpilot/ directory houses several applications: kpilot and kpilotDaemon are installed, and kpilotTest which is not installed but which can function as a demon under closely-controlled circumstances from the command-line.
Under conduits/ a bunch of directories hold the individual conduits; the "four button" apps are in vcalconduit/ (ToDo and Datebook), abbrowserconduit/ (Addresses, not the newer Contacts) and knotes/ or memofileconduit/ (Memos).
