Member Function Documentation

QString KSycoca::absoluteFilePath ( DatabaseType type = LocalDatabase ) [static]

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.

Definition at line 529 of file ksycoca.cpp.

void KSycoca::addFactory ( KSycocaFactory * factory )

add a factory

Definition at line 341 of file ksycoca.cpp.

QStringList KSycoca::allResourceDirs ( )

returns all directories with information stored inside sycoca.

Definition at line 548 of file ksycoca.cpp.

QT_MOC_COMPAT void KSycoca::databaseChanged ( ) [signal]

Connect to this to get notified when the database changes.

Deprecated:: use the databaseChanged(QStringList) signal

void KSycoca::databaseChanged ( const QStringList & changedResources ) [signal]

Connect to this to get notified when the database changes Example: when mimetype definitions have changed, applications showing files as icons refresh icons to take into account the new mimetypes.

Another example: after creating a .desktop file in KOpenWithDialog, it must wait until kbuildsycoca4 finishes until the KService::Ptr is available.

Parameters:

changedResources List of resources where changes were detected. This can include the following resources (as defined in KStandardDirs) : apps, xdgdata-apps, services, servicetypes, xdgdata-mime.

void KSycoca::disableAutoRebuild ( ) [static]

disables launching of kbuildsycoca

Definition at line 584 of file ksycoca.cpp.

KSycocaFactoryList * KSycoca::factories ( ) [protected]

Definition at line 383 of file ksycoca.cpp.

QDataStream * KSycoca::findEntry	(	int	offset,
		KSycocaType &	type
	)

called by factories in read-only mode This is how factories get a stream to an entry

Definition at line 370 of file ksycoca.cpp.

QDataStream * KSycoca::findFactory ( KSycocaFactoryId id )

called by factories in read-only mode Returns stream(), but positioned for reading this factory, 0 on error.

Definition at line 459 of file ksycoca.cpp.

void KSycoca::flagError ( ) [static]

A read error occurs.

Definition at line 555 of file ksycoca.cpp.

bool KSycoca::isAvailable ( ) [static]

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.

Definition at line 309 of file ksycoca.cpp.

bool KSycoca::isBuilding ( ) [virtual]

Returns:: true if building (i.e. if a KBuildSycoca);

Definition at line 579 of file ksycoca.cpp.

bool KSycoca::isChanged ( const char * type ) [static]

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.

This method is meant to be called from the GUI thread only.

Deprecated:: use the signal databaseChanged(QStringList) instead.

Definition at line 347 of file ksycoca.cpp.

QString KSycoca::kfsstnd_prefixes ( )

returns kfsstnd stored inside database

Definition at line 487 of file ksycoca.cpp.

QString KSycoca::language ( )

returns language stored inside database

Definition at line 541 of file ksycoca.cpp.

bool KSycoca::readError ( ) [static]

Deprecated:

Definition at line 573 of file ksycoca.cpp.

KSycoca * KSycoca::self ( ) [static]

Get or create the only instance of KSycoca (read-only)

Definition at line 293 of file ksycoca.cpp.

QDataStream *& KSycoca::stream ( ) [protected]

Definition at line 589 of file ksycoca.cpp.

quint32 KSycoca::timeStamp ( )

returns timestamp of database

The database contains all changes made _before_ this time and _might_ contain changes made after that.

Definition at line 515 of file ksycoca.cpp.

quint32 KSycoca::updateSignature ( )

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.

Definition at line 522 of file ksycoca.cpp.

int KSycoca::version ( ) [static]

Returns:: the compiled-in version, i.e. the one used when writing a new ksycoca

Definition at line 150 of file ksycoca.cpp.
