void gnome_vfs_mime_shutdown (void);
gnome_vfs_mime_shutdown
is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. This function doesn't have to be called as the
operating system automatically cleans up resources when exiting.
Unload the MIME database from memory.
const char* gnome_vfs_mime_type_from_name (const char *filename);
gnome_vfs_mime_type_from_name
is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. This function is deprecated, use
gnome_vfs_get_mime_type_for_name instead.
Determine the mime type for filename
.
Returns:
filename : |
a filename (the file does not necessarily exist). |
Returns : | the mime-type for this filename. Will return
GNOME_VFS_MIME_TYPE_UNKNOWN if mime-type could not be found.
|
const char* gnome_vfs_mime_type_from_name_or_default (const char *filename, const char *defaultv);
This routine tries to determine the mime-type of the filename only by looking at the filename from the GNOME database of mime-types.
filename : |
a filename (the file does not necessarily exist). |
defaultv : |
a default value to be returned if no match is found. |
Returns : | the mime-type of the filename . If no value could be
determined, it will return defaultv .
|
const char* gnome_vfs_get_mime_type_common (GnomeVFSURI *uri);
Tries to guess the mime type of the file represented by uri
.
Favors using the file data to the uri
extension.
Handles uri
of a non-existent file by falling back
on returning a type based on the extension. If cant find the mime-type based on the
extension also then returns 'application/octet-stream'.
FIXME: This function will not necessarily return the same mime type as doing a get file info on the text uri.
uri : |
a real file or a non-existent uri. |
Returns : | the mime-type for uri .
|
const char* gnome_vfs_get_mime_type_from_uri (GnomeVFSURI *uri);
Tries to guess the mime type of the file uri
by
checking the file name extension. Works on non-existent
files.
uri : |
a file uri. |
Returns : | the mime-type for file at uri .
|
const char* gnome_vfs_get_mime_type_from_file_data (GnomeVFSURI *uri);
gnome_vfs_get_mime_type_from_file_data
is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Tries to guess the mime type of the file uri
by
checking the file data using the magic patterns. Does not handle text files properly.
Returns:
uri : |
a file uri. |
Returns : | the mime-type for this filename. |
const char* gnome_vfs_get_file_mime_type (const char *path, const struct stat *optional_stat_info, gboolean suffix_only);
Tries to guess the mime type of the file represented by path
.
If suffix_only
is false, uses the mime-magic based lookup first.
Handles path
of a non-existent file by falling back
on returning a type based on the extension.
If you need a faster, less accurate version, use
gnome_vfs_get_file_mime_type_fast()
.
path : |
path of a file whose mime type is to be found out. |
optional_stat_info : |
optional stat buffer. |
suffix_only : |
whether or not to do a magic-based lookup. |
Returns : | the mime-type for file at path .
|
gboolean gnome_vfs_mime_type_is_supertype (const char *mime_type);
mime_type : |
|
Returns : |
