Detailed Description

Represent a mime type, like "text/plain".

The starting point you need is often the static methods. See also KServiceType.

Constructor.

You may pass in arguments to create a mimetype with specific properties.

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

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

The stream must already be positionned at the correct offset

[virtual]

[const virtual]

Return the filename of the icon associated with the mimetype.

The arguments are unused, but provided so that KMimeType - derived classes can use them (e.g. KFolderType uses the URL to return one out of 2 icons)

Returns: The path to the icon associated with this MIME type.

Reimplemented from KServiceType.

[const virtual]

This function differs from the above only in that a KURL may be provided instead of a QString for convenience.

Reimplemented from KServiceType.

[const virtual]

Use this function only if you don't have a special URL for which you search a pixmap.

This function is useful to find out, which icon is usually chosen for a certain mime type. Since no URL is passed, it is impossible to obey icon hints in desktop entries for example.

Parameters:

_group	The icon group where the icon is going to be used.
_force_size	Override globallly configured icon size.
_state	The icon state, one of: KIcon::DefaultState, KIcon::ActiveState or KIcon::DisabledState.
_path	Output parameter to get the full path. Seldom needed.

[const virtual]

Find the pixmap for a given file of this mimetype.

Convenience method that uses icon(), but also locates and load the pixmap.

Parameters:

_url	URL for the file.
_group	The icon group where the icon is going to be used.
_force_size	Override globallly configured icon size.
_state	The icon state, one of: KIcon::DefaultState, KIcon::ActiveState or KIcon::DisabledState.
_path	Output parameter to get the full path. Seldom needed.

[static]

Convenience method to find the pixmap for a URL

Call this one when you don't know the mimetype.

Parameters:

_url	URL for the file.
_group	The icon group where the icon is going to be used.
_force_size	Override globally configured icon size.
_state	The icon state, one of: KIcon::DefaultState, KIcon::ActiveState or KIcon::DisabledState.
_path	Output parameter to get the full path. Seldom needed.

[static]

The same functionality as pixmapForURL, but this method returns the name of the icon to load. You'll have to use KIconLoader to load the pixmap for it. The advantage of this method is that you can store the result, and then use it later on for any kind of size.

[const]

Returns: The desriptive comment associated with the MIME type.

Reimplemented from KServiceType.

[const virtual]

The arguments are unused, but provided so that KMimeType derived classes can use them.

Returns: The descriptive comment associated with the MIME type, if any.

Reimplemented from KServiceType.

[const virtual]

This function differs from the above only in that a KURL may be provided instead of a QString for convenience.

Reimplemented from KServiceType.

[const]

Retrieve the list of patterns associated with the MIME Type.

[virtual]

Load the mimetype from a stream.

Reimplemented from KServiceType.

[virtual]

Save the mimetype to a stream.

Reimplemented from KServiceType.

[const virtual]

Reimplemented from KServiceType.

[const virtual]

Reimplemented from KServiceType.

[static]

Retrieve a pointer to the mime type _name or a pointer to the default mime type "application/octet-stream".

0L is never returned.

Very important: Don't store the result in a KMimeType * !

See also: serviceType

[static]

This function looks at mode_t first.

If that does not help it looks at the extension. This is find 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 KMimeMagic is used if the URL a local file or "application/octet-stream" is returned otherwise.

Parameters:

_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.
_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.

Returns: A pointer to the matching mimetype. 0L is never returned. Very Important: Don't store the result in a KMimeType * !

[static]

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.

[static]

Returns: name of the default mimetype Always application/octet-stream, but this method exists for performance purposes.

[protected]

[protected]

Reimplemented from KServiceType.

[protected static]

Signal a missing mime type

[protected static]

This function makes sure that the default mime type exists.

[protected static]

This function makes sure that vital mime types are installed.
