Description

Details

ThunarVfsMimeDatabase

typedef struct _ThunarVfsMimeDatabase ThunarVfsMimeDatabase;

The ThunarVfsMimeDatabase contains private data only, and should be accessed using the functions below.

thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_default ()

ThunarVfsMimeDatabase * thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_default
                                                        (void);

Returns a reference on the shared ThunarVfsMimeDatabase instance. The caller is responsible to call g_object_unref() on the returned object when no longer needed.

Returns :

 the shared ThunarVfsMimeDatabase.

thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_info ()

ThunarVfsMimeInfo * thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_info   (ThunarVfsMimeDatabase *database,
                                                         const gchar *mime_type);

Determines the ThunarVfsMimeInfo which corresponds to mime_type in database. The caller is responsible to call thunar_vfs_mime_info_unref() on the returned instance.

database :

 a ThunarVfsMimeDatabase.

mime_type :

 the string representation of the mime type.

Returns :

 the ThunarVfsMimeInfo corresponding to mime_type in database.

thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_info_for_data ()

ThunarVfsMimeInfo * thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_info_for_data
                                                        (ThunarVfsMimeDatabase *database,
                                                         gconstpointer data,
                                                         gsize length);

Determines the ThunarVfsMimeInfo for data in database. The caller is responsible to call thunar_vfs_mime_info_unref() on the returned instance.

database :

 a ThunarVfsMimeDatabase.

data :

 the data to check.

length :

 the length of data in bytes.

Returns :

 the ThunarVfsMimeInfo determined for data.

thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_info_for_name ()

ThunarVfsMimeInfo * thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_info_for_name
                                                        (ThunarVfsMimeDatabase *database,
                                                         const gchar *name);

Determines the ThunarVfsMimeInfo for the filename given in name from database. The caller is responsible to call thunar_vfs_mime_info_unref() on the returned instance.

The name must be a valid filename in UTF-8 encoding and it may not contained any slashes!

database :

 a ThunarVfsMimeDatabase.

name :

 a filename (must be valid UTF-8!).

Returns :

 the ThunarVfsMimeInfo for name in database.

thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_info_for_file ()

ThunarVfsMimeInfo * thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_info_for_file
                                                        (ThunarVfsMimeDatabase *database,
                                                         const gchar *path,
                                                         const gchar *name);

Determines the ThunarVfsMimeInfo for path in database. The caller is responsible to free the returned instance using thunar_vfs_mime_info_unref().

The name parameter is optional. If the caller already knows the basename of path in UTF-8 encoding, it should be specified here to speed up the lookup process.

database :

 a ThunarVfsMimeDatabase.

path :

 the path to a file in the local filesystem (in the filesystem encoding).

name :

 the basename of path in UTF-8 encoding or NULL.

Returns :

 the ThunarVfsMimeInfo for path in database.

thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_infos_for_info ()

GList *             thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_infos_for_info
                                                        (ThunarVfsMimeDatabase *database,
                                                         ThunarVfsMimeInfo *info);

Returns a list of all ThunarVfsMimeInfos, that are related to info in database. Currently this is the list of parent MIME-types for info, as defined in the Shared Mime Database.

Note that the returned list will also include a reference info itself. In addition, this method also handles details specified by the Shared Mime Database Specification like the fact that every "text/xxxx" MIME-type is a subclass of "text/plain" and every MIME-type is a subclass of "application/octet-stream".

The caller is responsible to free the returned list using #thunar_vfs_mime_info_list_free() when done with it.

database :

 a ThunarVfsMimeDatabase.

info :

 a ThunarVfsMimeInfo.

Returns :

 the list of ThunarVfsMimeInfos related to info.

thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_applications ()

GList *             thunar_vfs_mime_database_get_applications
                                                        (ThunarVfsMimeDatabase *database,
                                                         ThunarVfsMimeInfo *info);

Looks up all ThunarVfsMimeApplications in database, which claim to be able to open files whose MIME-type is represented by info.

The caller is responsible to free the returned list using something like:
