Static functions

canBeExecutable

bool canBeExecutable(string type)

Checks if a content type can be executable. Note that for instance things like text files can be executables (i.e. scripts and batch files).

contentTypesGetRegistered

ListG contentTypesGetRegistered()

Gets a list of strings containing all the registered content types known to the system. The list and its data should be freed using g_list_free_full (list, g_free).

equals

bool equals(string type1, string type2)

Compares two content types for equality.

fromMimeType

string fromMimeType(string mimeType)

Tries to find a content type based on the mime type name.

getDescription

string getDescription(string type)

Gets the human readable description of the content type.

getGenericIconName

string getGenericIconName(string type)

Gets the generic icon name for a content type.

getIcon

IconIF getIcon(string type)

Gets the icon for a content type.

getMimeType

string getMimeType(string type)

Gets the mime type for the content type, if one is registered.

getSymbolicIcon

IconIF getSymbolicIcon(string type)

Gets the symbolic icon for a content type.

guessForTree

string[] guessForTree(FileIF root)

Tries to guess the type of the tree with root @root, by looking at the files it contains. The result is an array of content types, with the best guess coming first.

isA

bool isA(string type, string supertype)

Determines if @type is a subset of @supertype.

isUnknown

bool isUnknown(string type)

Checks if the content type is the generic "unknown" type. On UNIX this is the "application/octet-stream" mimetype, while on win32 it is "*".

typeGuess

string typeGuess(string filename, string data, bool resultUncertain)

Guesses the content type based on example data. If the function is uncertain, @result_uncertain will be set to %TRUE. Either @filename or @data may be %NULL, in which case the guess will be based solely on the other argument.
