Method Documentation
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| bool | a0 | |||
| ) |
- Internal:
- Building database
| __init__ | ( | self ) |
Read-only database
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| KSycoca | a0 | |||
| ) |
| QString absoluteFilePath | ( | KSycoca.DatabaseType | type=KSycoca.LocalDatabase | |
| ) |
- Internal:
- - returns absolute file path of the database
for global database type the database is searched under the 'services' install path. Otherwise, the value from the environment variable KDESYCOCA is returned if set. If not set the path is build based on KStandardDirs cache save location.
| addFactory | ( | self, | ||
| KSycocaFactory | a0 | |||
| ) |
- Internal:
- - add a factory
| QStringList allResourceDirs | ( | self ) |
- Internal:
- - returns all directories with information stored inside sycoca.
| databaseChanged | ( | self ) |
Connect to this to get notified when the database changes (Usually apps showing icons do a 'refresh' to take into account the new mimetypes)
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("databaseChanged()"), target_slot)
| disableAutoRebuild | ( | self ) |
- Internal:
- - disables launching of kbuildsycoca
| KSycocaFactoryList factories | ( | self ) |
| QDataStream findEntry | ( | self, | ||
| int | offset, | |||
| KSycocaType | type | |||
| ) |
- Internal:
- - called by factories in read-only mode This is how factories get a stream to an entry
| QDataStream findFactory | ( | self, | ||
| KSycocaFactoryId | id | |||
| ) |
- Internal:
- - called by factories in read-only mode
| flagError | ( | ) |
A read error occurs.
| bool isAvailable | ( | ) |
- Returns:
- true if the ksycoca database is available This is usually the case, except if KDE isn't installed yet, or before kded is started.
| bool isBuilding | ( | self ) |
- Internal:
- Returns:
- true if building (i.e. if a KBuildSycoca);
| bool isChanged | ( | QString | type | |
| ) |
When you receive a "databaseChanged" signal, you can query here if a change has occurred in a specific resource type.
- See also:
- KStandardDirs for the various resource types.
| QString kfsstnd_prefixes | ( | self ) |
- Internal:
- - returns kfsstnd stored inside database
| QString language | ( | self ) |
- Internal:
- - returns language stored inside database
| bool readError | ( | ) |
Returns read error status and clears flag.
| KSycoca self | ( | ) |
Get or create the only instance of KSycoca (read-only)
| long timeStamp | ( | self ) |
- Internal:
- - returns timestamp of database
The database contains all changes made _before_ this time and _might_ contain changes made after that.
| long updateSignature | ( | self ) |
- Internal:
- - returns update signature of database
Signature that keeps track of changes to $KDEDIR/share/services/update_ksycoca
Touching this file causes the database to be recreated from scratch.
| int version | ( | ) |
- Returns:
- the compiled-in version, i.e. the one used when writing a new ksycoca
