Detailed Description

WorkerBase is the class to use to implement a worker - simply inherit WorkerBase in your worker.

A call to foo() results in a call to slotFoo() on the other end.

Note that a kioworker doesn't have a Qt event loop. When idle, it's waiting for a command on the socket that connects it to the application. So don't expect a kioworker to react to D-Bus signals for instance. KIOWorkers are short-lived anyway, so any kind of watching or listening for notifications should be done elsewhere, for instance in a kded module (see kio_desktop's desktopnotifier.cpp for an example).

If a kioworker needs a Qt event loop within the implementation of one method, e.g. to wait for an asynchronous operation to finish, that is possible, using QEventLoop.

Member Function Documentation

addTemporaryAuthorization()

void KIO::WorkerBase::addTemporaryAuthorization

(

const QString &

action

)

Adds action to the list of PolicyKit actions which the worker is authorized to perform.

Parameters

action

the PolicyKit action

Definition at line 423 of file workerbase.cpp.

allMetaData()

MetaData KIO::WorkerBase::allMetaData

(

)

const

for ForwardingWorkerBase Contains all metadata (but no config) sent by the application to the worker.

Definition at line 50 of file workerbase.cpp.

appConnectionMade()

void KIO::WorkerBase::appConnectionMade ( )

virtual

Application connected to the worker.

Called when an application has connected to the worker. Mostly only useful when you want to e.g. send metadata to the application once it connects.

Definition at line 196 of file workerbase.cpp.

cacheAuthentication()

bool KIO::WorkerBase::cacheAuthentication

(

const AuthInfo &

info

)

Caches info in a persistent storage like KWallet.

Note that calling openPasswordDialogV2 does not store passwords automatically for you (and has not since kdelibs 4.7).

Here is a simple example of how to use cacheAuthentication:

AuthInfo info;
info.url = QUrl("https://www.foobar.org/foo/bar");
info.username = "somename";
info.verifyPath = true;
if ( !checkCachedAuthentication( info ) ) {
   int errorCode = openPasswordDialogV2(info);
   if (!errorCode) {
       if (info.keepPassword)  {  // user asked password be save/remembered
            cacheAuthentication(info);
       }
   }
}

Parameters

info	See AuthInfo.

Returns

true if info was successfully cached.

Definition at line 378 of file workerbase.cpp.

canResume() [1/2]

void KIO::WorkerBase::canResume

(

)

Call this at the beginning of get(), if the "range-start" metadata was set and returning byte ranges is implemented by this protocol.

Definition at line 115 of file workerbase.cpp.

canResume() [2/2]

bool KIO::WorkerBase::canResume

(

KIO::filesize_t

offset

)

Call this at the beginning of put(), to give the size of the existing partial file, if there is one.

The offset argument notifies the other job (the one that gets the data) about the offset to use. In this case, the boolean returns whether we can indeed resume or not (we can't if the protocol doing the get() doesn't support setting an offset)

Definition at line 353 of file workerbase.cpp.

checkCachedAuthentication()

bool KIO::WorkerBase::checkCachedAuthentication

(

AuthInfo &

info

)

Checks for cached authentication based on parameters given by info.

Use this function to check if any cached password exists for the URL given by info. If AuthInfo::realmValue and/or AuthInfo::verifyPath flag is specified, then they will also be factored in determining the presence of a cached password. Note that Auth::url is a required parameter when attempting to check for cached authorization info. Here is a simple example:

AuthInfo info;
info.url = QUrl("https://www.foobar.org/foo/bar");
info.username = "somename";
info.verifyPath = true;
if ( !checkCachedAuthentication( info ) )
{
   int errorCode = openPasswordDialogV2(info);
    ....
}

Parameters

info	See AuthInfo.

Returns

true if cached Authorization is found, false otherwise.

Definition at line 373 of file workerbase.cpp.

chmod()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::chmod ( const QUrl & url, int permissions )

virtual

Change permissions on url.

The worker emits ERR_DOES_NOT_EXIST or ERR_CANNOT_CHMOD

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingWorkerBase.

Definition at line 298 of file workerbase.cpp.

chown()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::chown ( const QUrl & url, const QString & owner, const QString & group )

virtual

Change ownership of url.

The worker emits ERR_DOES_NOT_EXIST or ERR_CANNOT_CHOWN

Definition at line 308 of file workerbase.cpp.

close()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::close ( )

virtual

close.

See also

KIO::FileJob::close()

Definition at line 263 of file workerbase.cpp.

closeConnection()

void KIO::WorkerBase::closeConnection ( )

virtual

Closes the connection (forced).

Called when the application disconnects the worker to close any open network connections.

When the worker was operating in connection-oriented mode, it should reset itself to connectionless (default) mode.

Definition at line 209 of file workerbase.cpp.

config()

KConfigGroup * KIO::WorkerBase::config

(

)

Returns a configuration object to query config/meta-data information from.

The application provides the worker with all configuration information relevant for the current protocol and host.

Note

Since 5.64 prefer to use mapConfig() or one of the configValue(...) overloads.

Todo

Find replacements for the other current usages of this method.

Definition at line 80 of file workerbase.cpp.

configValue() [1/3]

bool KIO::WorkerBase::configValue	(	const QString &	key,
		bool	defaultValue ) const

Returns a bool from the config/meta-data information.

Definition at line 65 of file workerbase.cpp.

configValue() [2/3]

QString KIO::WorkerBase::configValue	(	const QString &	key,
		const QString &	defaultValue = QString() ) const

Returns a QString from the config/meta-data information.

Definition at line 75 of file workerbase.cpp.

configValue() [3/3]

int KIO::WorkerBase::configValue	(	const QString &	key,
		int	defaultValue ) const

Returns an int from the config/meta-data information.

Definition at line 70 of file workerbase.cpp.

connectTimeout()

int KIO::WorkerBase::connectTimeout

(

)

Returns

timeout value for connecting to remote host.

Definition at line 383 of file workerbase.cpp.

connectWorker()

void KIO::WorkerBase::connectWorker

(

const QString &

path

)

internal function to connect a worker to/ disconnect from either the worker pool or the application

Definition at line 30 of file workerbase.cpp.

copy()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::copy ( const QUrl & src, const QUrl & dest, int permissions, JobFlags flags )

virtual

Copy src into dest.

By default, copy() is only called when copying a file from yourproto://host/path to yourproto://host/otherpath.

If you set copyFromFile=true then copy() will also be called when moving a file from file:///path to yourproto://host/otherpath. Otherwise such a copy would have to be done the slow way (get+put). See also KProtocolManager::canCopyFromFile().

If you set copyToFile=true then copy() will also be called when moving a file from yourproto: to file:. See also KProtocolManager::canCopyToFile().

If the worker returns an error ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ACTION, the job will ask for get + put instead.

If the worker returns an error ERR_FILE_ALREADY_EXIST, the job will ask for a different destination filename.

Parameters

src	where to copy the file from (decoded)
dest	where to copy the file to (decoded)
permissions	may be -1. In this case no special permission mode is set, and the owner and group permissions are not preserved.
flags	We support Overwrite here

Don't forget to set the modification time of dest to be the modification time of src.

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingWorkerBase.

Definition at line 283 of file workerbase.cpp.

data()

void KIO::WorkerBase::data

(

const QByteArray &

data

)

Sends data in the worker to the job (i.e. in get).

To signal end of data, simply send an empty QByteArray().

Parameters

data	the data read by the worker

Definition at line 100 of file workerbase.cpp.

dataReq()

void KIO::WorkerBase::dataReq

(

)

Asks for data from the job.

See also

readData

Definition at line 105 of file workerbase.cpp.

del()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::del ( const QUrl & url, bool isfile )

virtual

Delete a file or directory.

Parameters

url	file/directory to delete
isfile	if true, a file should be deleted. if false, a directory should be deleted.

By default, del() on a directory should FAIL if the directory is not empty. However, if metadata("recurse") == "true", then the worker can do a recursive deletion. This behavior is only invoked if the worker specifies deleteRecursive=true in its protocol file.

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingWorkerBase.

Definition at line 288 of file workerbase.cpp.

disconnectWorker()

void KIO::WorkerBase::disconnectWorker

(

)

Definition at line 35 of file workerbase.cpp.

dispatchLoop()

void KIO::WorkerBase::dispatchLoop

(

)

Definition at line 25 of file workerbase.cpp.

errorPage()

void KIO::WorkerBase::errorPage

(

)

Tell that we will only get an error page here.

This means: the data you'll get isn't the data you requested, but an error page (usually HTML) that describes an error.

Deprecated

since 6.3, not implemented/used

Definition at line 156 of file workerbase.cpp.

exit()

void KIO::WorkerBase::exit

(

)

Terminate the worker by calling the destructor and then exit()

Definition at line 166 of file workerbase.cpp.

fileSystemFreeSpace()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::fileSystemFreeSpace ( const QUrl & url )

virtual

Get a filesystem's total and available space.

Parameters

url	Url to the filesystem

Definition at line 313 of file workerbase.cpp.

get()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::get ( const QUrl & url )

virtual

get, aka read.

Parameters

url	the full url for this request. Host, port and user of the URL can be assumed to be the same as in the last setHost() call.

The worker should first "emit" the MIME type by calling mimeType(), and then "emit" the data using the data() method.

The reason why we need get() to emit the MIME type is: when pasting a URL in krunner, or konqueror's location bar, we have to find out what is the MIME type of that URL. Rather than doing it with a call to mimetype(), then the app or part would have to do a second request to the same server, this is done like this: get() is called, and when it emits the MIME type, the job is put on hold and the right app or part is launched. When that app or part calls get(), the worker is magically reused, and the download can now happen. All with a single call to get() in the worker. This mechanism is also described in KIO::get().

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingWorkerBase.

Definition at line 233 of file workerbase.cpp.

hasMetaData()

bool KIO::WorkerBase::hasMetaData

(

const QString &

key

)

const

Queries for the existence of a certain config/meta-data entry send by the application to the worker.

Definition at line 55 of file workerbase.cpp.

infoMessage()

void KIO::WorkerBase::infoMessage

(

const QString &

msg

)

Call to signal a message, to be displayed if the application wants to, for instance in a status bar.

Usual examples are "connecting to host xyz", etc.

Definition at line 176 of file workerbase.cpp.

listDir()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::listDir ( const QUrl & url )

virtual

Lists the contents of url.

The worker should emit ERR_CANNOT_ENTER_DIRECTORY if it doesn't exist, if we don't have enough permissions. You should not list files if the path in url is empty, but redirect to a non-empty path instead.

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingWorkerBase.

Definition at line 228 of file workerbase.cpp.

listEntries()

void KIO::WorkerBase::listEntries

(

const UDSEntryList &

_entry

)

Call this in listDir, each time you have a bunch of entries to report.

Parameters

_entry

The UDSEntry containing all of the object attributes.

Definition at line 191 of file workerbase.cpp.

listEntry()

void KIO::WorkerBase::listEntry

(

const UDSEntry &

entry

)

It collects entries and emits them via listEntries when enough of them are there or a certain time frame exceeded (to make sure the app gets some items in time but not too many items one by one as this will cause a drastic performance penalty).

Parameters

entry

The UDSEntry containing all of the object attributes.

Definition at line 186 of file workerbase.cpp.

lookupHost()

void KIO::WorkerBase::lookupHost

(

const QString &

host

)

Internally used.

Definition at line 408 of file workerbase.cpp.

mapConfig()

QMap< QString, QVariant > KIO::WorkerBase::mapConfig

(

)

const

Returns a map to query config/meta-data information from.

The application provides the worker with all configuration information relevant for the current protocol and host.

Use configValue() as shortcut.

Definition at line 60 of file workerbase.cpp.

messageBox() [1/2]

int KIO::WorkerBase::messageBox	(	const QString &	text,
		MessageBoxType	type,
		const QString &	title = QString(),
		const QString &	primaryActionText = QString(),
		const QString &	secondaryActionText = QString(),
		const QString &	dontAskAgainName = QString() )

Call this to show a message box from the worker.

Parameters

text	Message string. May contain newlines.
type	type of message box
title	Message box title.
primaryActionText	the text for the first button. Ignored for type Information.
secondaryActionText	the text for the second button. Ignored for type WarningContinueCancel, WarningContinueCancelDetailed, Information.
dontAskAgainName	the name used to store result from 'Do not ask again' checkbox.

Returns

a button code, as defined in ButtonCode, or 0 on communication error.

Definition at line 338 of file workerbase.cpp.

messageBox() [2/2]

int KIO::WorkerBase::messageBox	(	MessageBoxType	type,
		const QString &	text,
		const QString &	title = QString(),
		const QString &	primaryActionText = QString(),
		const QString &	secondaryActionText = QString() )

Call this to show a message box from the worker.

Parameters

type	type of message box
text	Message string. May contain newlines.
title	Message box title.
primaryActionText	the text for the first button. Ignored for type Information.
secondaryActionText	the text for the second button. Ignored for type WarningContinueCancel, WarningContinueCancelDetailed, Information.

Returns

a button code, as defined in ButtonCode, or 0 on communication error.

Definition at line 333 of file workerbase.cpp.

metaData()

QString KIO::WorkerBase::metaData

(

const QString &

key

)

const

Queries for config/meta-data send by the application to the worker.

Definition at line 45 of file workerbase.cpp.

mimeType()

void KIO::WorkerBase::mimeType

(

const QString &

_type

)

Call this in mimetype() and in get(), when you know the MIME type.

See mimetype() about other ways to implement it.

Definition at line 161 of file workerbase.cpp.

mimetype()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::mimetype ( const QUrl & url )

virtual

Finds MIME type for one file or directory.

This method should either emit 'mimeType' or it should send a block of data big enough to be able to determine the MIME type.

If the worker doesn't reimplement it, a get will be issued, i.e. the whole file will be downloaded before determining the MIME type on it - this is obviously not a good thing in most cases.

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingWorkerBase.

Definition at line 268 of file workerbase.cpp.

mkdir()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::mkdir ( const QUrl & url, int permissions )

virtual

Create a directory.

Parameters

url	path to the directory to create
permissions	the permissions to set after creating the directory (-1 if no permissions to be set) The worker emits ERR_CANNOT_MKDIR if failure.

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingWorkerBase.

Definition at line 293 of file workerbase.cpp.

open()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::open ( const QUrl & url, QIODevice::OpenMode mode )

virtual

open.

Parameters

url	the full url for this request. Host, port and user of the URL can be assumed to be the same as in the last setHost() call.
mode	see QIODevice::OpenMode

Definition at line 238 of file workerbase.cpp.

openConnection()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::openConnection ( )

virtual

Opens the connection (forced).

When this function gets called the worker is operating in connection-oriented mode. When a connection gets lost while the worker operates in connection oriented mode, the worker should report ERR_CONNECTION_BROKEN instead of reconnecting. The user is expected to disconnect the worker in the error handler.

Definition at line 204 of file workerbase.cpp.

openPasswordDialog()

int KIO::WorkerBase::openPasswordDialog	(	KIO::AuthInfo &	info,
		const QString &	errorMsg = QString() )

Prompt the user for Authorization info (login & password).

Use this function to request authorization information from the end user. You can also pass an error message which explains why a previous authorization attempt failed. Here is a very simple example:

KIO::AuthInfo authInfo;
int errorCode = openPasswordDialogV2(authInfo);
if (!errorCode) {
   qDebug() << QLatin1String("User: ") << authInfo.username;
   qDebug() << QLatin1String("Password: not displayed here!");
} else {
   error(errorCode, QString());
}

You can also preset some values like the username, caption or comment as follows:

KIO::AuthInfo authInfo;
authInfo.caption = i18n("Acme Password Dialog");
authInfo.username = "Wile E. Coyote";
QString errorMsg = i18n("You entered an incorrect password.");
int errorCode = openPasswordDialogV2(authInfo, errorMsg);
[...]

Note

You should consider using checkCachedAuthentication() to see if the password is available in kpasswdserver before calling this function.

A call to this function can fail and return false, if the password server could not be started for whatever reason.

This function does not store the password information automatically (and has not since kdelibs 4.7). If you want to store the password information in a persistent storage like KWallet, then you MUST call cacheAuthentication.

See also

checkCachedAuthentication

Parameters

info	See AuthInfo.
errorMsg	Error message to show

Returns

a KIO error code: NoError (0), KIO::USER_CANCELED, or other error codes.

Definition at line 328 of file workerbase.cpp.

position()

void KIO::WorkerBase::position

(

KIO::filesize_t

_pos

)

Definition at line 135 of file workerbase.cpp.

processedSize()

void KIO::WorkerBase::processedSize

(

KIO::filesize_t

_bytes

)

Call this during get and copy, once in a while, to give some info about the current state.

Don't emit it in listDir, listEntries speaks for itself.

Definition at line 125 of file workerbase.cpp.

proxyConnectTimeout()

int KIO::WorkerBase::proxyConnectTimeout

(

)

Returns

timeout value for connecting to proxy in secs.

Definition at line 388 of file workerbase.cpp.

put()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::put ( const QUrl & url, int permissions, JobFlags flags )

virtual

put, i.e. write data into a file.

Parameters

url	where to write the file
permissions	may be -1. In this case no special permission mode is set.
flags	We support Overwrite here. Hopefully, we're going to support Resume in the future, too. If the file indeed already exists, the worker should NOT apply the permissions change to it. The support for resuming using .part files is done by calling canResume().

IMPORTANT: Use the "modified" metadata in order to set the modification time of the file.

See also

canResume()

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingWorkerBase.

Definition at line 218 of file workerbase.cpp.

read()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::read ( KIO::filesize_t size )

virtual

read.

Parameters

size	the requested amount of data to read

See also

KIO::FileJob::read()

Definition at line 243 of file workerbase.cpp.

readData()

int KIO::WorkerBase::readData

(

QByteArray &

buffer

)

Read data sent by the job, after a dataReq.

Parameters

buffer

buffer where data is stored

Returns

0 on end of data, > 0 bytes read < 0 error

Definition at line 363 of file workerbase.cpp.

readTimeout()

int KIO::WorkerBase::readTimeout

(

)

Returns

timeout value for read from subsequent data from remote host in secs.

Definition at line 398 of file workerbase.cpp.

redirection()

void KIO::WorkerBase::redirection

(

const QUrl &

_url

)

Call this to signal a redirection.

The job will take care of going to that url.

Definition at line 150 of file workerbase.cpp.

remoteEncoding()

KRemoteEncoding * KIO::WorkerBase::remoteEncoding

(

)

Returns an object that can translate remote filenames into proper Unicode forms.

This encoding can be set by the user.

Definition at line 95 of file workerbase.cpp.

rename()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::rename ( const QUrl & src, const QUrl & dest, JobFlags flags )

virtual

Rename oldname into newname.

If the worker returns an error ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ACTION, the job will ask for copy + del instead.

Important: the worker must implement the logic "if the destination already exists, error ERR_DIR_ALREADY_EXIST or ERR_FILE_ALREADY_EXIST". For performance reasons no stat is done in the destination before hand, the worker must do it.

By default, rename() is only called when renaming (moving) from yourproto://host/path to yourproto://host/otherpath.

If you set renameFromFile=true then rename() will also be called when moving a file from file:///path to yourproto://host/otherpath. Otherwise such a move would have to be done the slow way (copy+delete). See KProtocolManager::canRenameFromFile() for more details.

If you set renameToFile=true then rename() will also be called when moving a file from yourproto: to file:. See KProtocolManager::canRenameToFile() for more details.

Parameters

src	where to move the file from
dest	where to move the file to
flags	We support Overwrite here

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingWorkerBase.

Definition at line 273 of file workerbase.cpp.

reparseConfiguration()

void KIO::WorkerBase::reparseConfiguration ( )

virtual

Called by the scheduler to tell the worker that the configuration changed (i.e. proxy settings) .

Definition at line 323 of file workerbase.cpp.

requestPrivilegeOperation()

PrivilegeOperationStatus KIO::WorkerBase::requestPrivilegeOperation

(

const QString &

operationDetails

)

Checks with job if privilege operation is allowed.

Returns

privilege operation status.

See also

PrivilegeOperationStatus

Definition at line 418 of file workerbase.cpp.

responseTimeout()

int KIO::WorkerBase::responseTimeout

(

)

Returns

timeout value for read from first data from remote host in seconds.

Definition at line 393 of file workerbase.cpp.

seek()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::seek ( KIO::filesize_t offset )

virtual

seek.

Parameters

offset

the requested amount of data to read

sendAndKeepMetaData()

void KIO::WorkerBase::sendAndKeepMetaData

(

)

Internal function to transmit meta data to the application.

Like sendMetaData() but m_outgoingMetaData will not be cleared. This method is mainly useful in code that runs before the worker is connected to its final job.

Definition at line 90 of file workerbase.cpp.

sendMetaData()

void KIO::WorkerBase::sendMetaData

(

)

Internal function to transmit meta data to the application.

m_outgoingMetaData will be cleared; this means that if the worker is for example put on hold and picked up by a different KIO::Job later the new job will not see the metadata sent before. See kio/DESIGN.krun for an overview of the state progression of a job/worker.

Warning

calling this method may seriously interfere with the operation of KIO which relies on the presence of some metadata at some points in time. You should not use it if you are not familiar with KIO and not before the worker is connected to the last job before returning to idle state.

Definition at line 85 of file workerbase.cpp.

setHost()

void KIO::WorkerBase::setHost ( const QString & host, quint16 port, const QString & user, const QString & pass )

virtual

Set the host.

Called directly by createWorker and not via the interface.

This method is called whenever a change in host, port or user occurs.

Definition at line 200 of file workerbase.cpp.

setIncomingMetaData()

void KIO::WorkerBase::setIncomingMetaData

(

const KIO::MetaData &

metaData

)

Set the Incoming Meta Data This is only really useful if your worker wants to overwrite the metadata for consumption in other worker functions; this overwrites existing metadata set by the client!

Parameters

metaData

metadata to set

Since

setMetaData()

void KIO::WorkerBase::setMetaData	(	const QString &	key,
		const QString &	value )

Sets meta-data to be send to the application before the first data() or finished() signal.

Definition at line 40 of file workerbase.cpp.

setModificationTime()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::setModificationTime ( const QUrl & url, const QDateTime & mtime )

virtual

Sets the modification time for @url.

For instance this is what CopyJob uses to set mtime on dirs at the end of a copy. It could also be used to set the mtime on any file, in theory. The usual implementation on unix is to call utime(path, &myutimbuf). The worker emits ERR_DOES_NOT_EXIST or ERR_CANNOT_SETTIME

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingWorkerBase.

Definition at line 303 of file workerbase.cpp.

setTimeoutSpecialCommand()

void KIO::WorkerBase::setTimeoutSpecialCommand	(	int	timeout,
		const QByteArray &	data = QByteArray() )

This function sets a timeout of timeout seconds and calls special(data) when the timeout occurs as if it was called by the application.

A timeout can only occur when the worker is waiting for a command from the application.

Specifying a negative timeout cancels a pending timeout.

Only one timeout at a time is supported, setting a timeout cancels any pending timeout.

Definition at line 368 of file workerbase.cpp.

special()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::special ( const QByteArray & data )

virtual

Used for any command that is specific to this worker (protocol).

Examples are : HTTP POST, mount and unmount (kio_file)

Parameters

data	packed data; the meaning is completely dependent on the worker, but usually starts with an int for the command number. Document your worker's commands, at least in its header file.

Definition at line 223 of file workerbase.cpp.

speed()

void KIO::WorkerBase::speed

(

unsigned long

_bytes_per_second

)

Call this in get and copy, to give the current transfer speed, but only if it can't be calculated out of the size you passed to processedSize (in most cases you don't want to call it)

sslError()

int KIO::WorkerBase::sslError

(

const QVariantMap &

sslData

)

Definition at line 348 of file workerbase.cpp.

stat()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::stat ( const QUrl & url )

virtual

Finds all details for one file or directory.

The information returned is the same as what listDir returns, but only for one file or directory. Call statEntry() after creating the appropriate UDSEntry for this url.

You can use the "details" metadata to optimize this method to only do as much work as needed by the application. By default details is 2 (all details wanted, including modification time, size, etc.), details==1 is used when deleting: we don't need all the information if it takes too much time, no need to follow symlinks etc. details==0 is used for very simple probing: we'll only get the answer "it's a file or a directory (or a symlink), or it doesn't exist".

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingWorkerBase.

Definition at line 213 of file workerbase.cpp.

statEntry()

void KIO::WorkerBase::statEntry

(

const UDSEntry &

_entry

)

Call this from stat() to express details about an object, the UDSEntry customarily contains the atoms describing file name, size, MIME type, etc.

Parameters

_entry

The UDSEntry containing all of the object attributes.

Definition at line 181 of file workerbase.cpp.

symlink()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::symlink ( const QString & target, const QUrl & dest, JobFlags flags )

virtual

Creates a symbolic link named dest, pointing to target, which may be a relative or an absolute path.

Parameters

target	The string that will become the "target" of the link (can be relative)
dest	The symlink to create.
flags	We support Overwrite here

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingWorkerBase.

Definition at line 278 of file workerbase.cpp.

totalSize()

void KIO::WorkerBase::totalSize

(

KIO::filesize_t

_bytes

)

Call this in get and copy, to give the total size of the file.

Definition at line 120 of file workerbase.cpp.

truncate()

WorkerResult KIO::WorkerBase::truncate ( KIO::filesize_t size )

virtual

truncate

Parameters

size	size to truncate the file to

waitForAnswer()

int KIO::WorkerBase::waitForAnswer	(	int	expected1,
		int	expected2,
		QByteArray &	data,
		int *	pCmd = nullptr )

Wait for an answer to our request, until we get expected1 or expected2.

Returns

the result from readData, as well as the cmd in *pCmd if set, and the data in data

msg

)

Call to signal a warning, to be displayed in a dialog box.

Definition at line 171 of file workerbase.cpp.

wasKilled()

bool KIO::WorkerBase::wasKilled

(

)

const

If your ioworker was killed by a signal, wasKilled() returns true.

Check it regularly in lengthy functions (e.g. in get();) and return as fast as possible from this function if wasKilled() returns true. This will ensure that your worker destructor will be called correctly.

Definition at line 403 of file workerbase.cpp.

worker_status()

void KIO::WorkerBase::worker_status ( )

virtual

Called to get the status of the worker.

Worker should respond by calling workerStatus(...)
