18 * The application trader is a convenient way to find installed applications
19 * based on specific criteria (association with a MIME type, name contains Foo, etc.)
20 *
21 * Example: say that you want to get the list of all applications that can handle PNG images.
22 * The code would look like:
23 * \code
24 * KService::List lst = KApplicationTrader::queryByMimeType("image/png");
25 * \endcode
26 *
27 * If you want to get the preferred application for image/png you would use:
28 * @code
29 * KService::Ptr service = KApplicationTrader::preferredService("image/png");
30 * @endcode
31 *
32 * @see KService
