Detailed Description

Represent a service, i.e. an application bound to one or several mimetypes (or servicetypes) as written in its desktop entry file.

A service may be a library, too. The starting point you need is often the static methods.

typedef KSharedPtr<KService> Ptr

Ptr

typedef QValueList<Ptr> List

List

 KService ( const QString & _fullpath )

KService

Construct a service and take all information from a config file.

Parameters:
_fullpathFull path to the config file.
_relpathRelative path wrt to $KDEDIRS/+resource.

 KService ( KDesktopFile *config )

KService

Construct a service and take all information from a desktop file.

 KService ( QDataStream& _str, int offset )

KService

Construct a service from a stream. The stream must already be positionned at the correct offset.

 ~KService ()

~KService

[virtual]

QString  type ()

type

[const virtual]

Returns the type of the service ("Application" or "Service").

QString  name ()

name

[const virtual]

Returns the name of the service.

Reimplemented from KSycocaEntry.

QString  exec ()

exec

[const]

Returns the command that the service executes.

QString  library ()

library

[const]

Returns the name of the library that contains the services implementation.

QString  init ()

init

[const]

Returns the name of the init function to call in this service during startup of KDE. (KControl modules only)

int  libraryMajor ()

libraryMajor

[const]

Returns the major number of the library.

See also: library(), libraryMinor()

int  libraryMinor ()

libraryMinor

[const]

Returns the minor number of the library.

See also: library(), libraryMajor()

QStringList  libraryDependencies ()

libraryDependencies

[const]

Returns the libraries on which this service depends. That is only of interest if the service itelf is a library.

QString  icon ()

icon

[const]

Returns the icon associated with the service.

QPixmap  pixmap ( int _group, int _force_size = 0, int _state = 0, QString * _path = 0L )

pixmap

[const]

Returns a pixmap for this service (finds and loads icon())

bool  terminal ()

terminal

[const]

Returns true is the service is run in a terminal.

QString  terminalOptions ()

terminalOptions

[const]

Returns any options associated with the terminal the service runs in, if it requires a terminal.

The service must be a tty-oriented program.

bool  substituteUid ()

substituteUid

[const]

Returns true if the service has to be run under a different uid.

QString  username ()

username

[const]

Returns the username under which the service has to be run.

QString  desktopEntryPath ()

desktopEntryPath

[const]

Returns the path to the location where the service desktop entry is stored.

This is a relative path if the desktop entry was found in any of the locations pointed to by $KDEDIRS (e.g. "Internet/kppp.desktop") It is a full path if the desktop entry originates from another location.

QString  desktopEntryName ()

desktopEntryName

[const]

Returns the filename of the service desktop entry without any extension. E.g. "kppp"

enum DCOPServiceType_t { DCOP_None = 0, DCOP_Unique, DCOP_Multi }; }

DCOPServiceType_t

DCOPServiceType_t  DCOPServiceType ()

DCOPServiceType

[const]

Returns The DCOPServiceType supported by this service.

QString  path ()

path

[const]

Returns the working directory to run the program in.

QString  comment ()

comment

[const]

Returns the descriptive comment for the service, if there is one.

QStringList  keywords ()

keywords

[const]

Returns a list of descriptive keywords the service, if there are any.

bool  mapNotify ()

mapNotify

[const]

Returns whether map notification should be used with this service.

QStringList  serviceTypes ()

serviceTypes

[const]

Returns the service types that this service supports.

bool  hasServiceType ( const QString& _service )

hasServiceType

[const]

Parameters:
_serviceThe name of the service type you are interested in determining whether this services supports.

Returns: true if the service you specified is supported, otherwise false.

bool  allowAsDefault ()

allowAsDefault

[const]

Returns true if the service may be used as a default setting, for example in a file manager. Usually that is the case, but some services may only be started when the user selected them. This kind of services returns false here.

int  initialPreference ()

initialPreference

[const]

What preference to associate with this service initially (before the user has had any chance to define a profile for it) The bigger the value, the most preferred the service is.

QVariant  property ( const QString& _name )

property

[const virtual]

Returns the requested properties. Some often used properties have convenience access functions like exec(), serviceTypes etc.

It depends upon the serviceTypes() of this service which properties a service can have.

See also: KServiceType

QStringList  propertyNames ()

propertyNames

[const virtual]

Returns the list of all properties that this service can have. That means, that some properties may be empty.

bool  isValid ()

isValid

[const]

Returns true if the service is valid (e.g. name is not empty)

Reimplemented from KSycocaEntry.

void  load ( QDataStream& )

load

[virtual]

Load the service from a stream.

Reimplemented from KSycocaEntry.

void  save ( QDataStream& )

save

[virtual]

Save the service to a stream.

Reimplemented from KSycocaEntry.

Ptr  serviceByName ( const QString& _name )
