zeitgeist_register_mimetype ()

void                zeitgeist_register_mimetype         (const gchar *mimetype,
                                                         const gchar *interpretation_uri);

zeitgeist_register_mimetype:

Associate a MIME-type with a given interpretation type. Registered MIME-types can be looked up with zeitgeist_interpretation_for_mimetype().

You can register a regular expression as mimetype if instead of this function you invoke zeitgeist_register_mimetype_regex().

MIME-types are first looked up by their exact name and then if none is found the regular expressions will be checked as fallbacks.

This library will install a wide range a common mimetypes for you, so unless you have very specific needs you will normally not have to call this function.

zeitgeist_register_mimetype_regex ()

void                zeitgeist_register_mimetype_regex   (const gchar *mimetype_regex,
                                                         const gchar *interpretation_uri);

zeitgeist_register_mimetype_regex:

Associate a range of MIME-types with a given interpretation type. Registered MIME-types can be looked up with zeitgeist_interpretation_for_mimetype().

If you only need to register one specific MIME-type, it is more efficient to use zeitgeist_register_mimetype() instead of this function.

MIME-types are first looked up by their exact name and then if none is found the regular expressions will be checked as fallbacks.

This library will install a wide range a common mimetypes for you, so unless you have very specific needs you will normally not have to call this function.

zeitgeist_interpretation_for_mimetype ()

const gchar *       zeitgeist_interpretation_for_mimetype
                                                        (const gchar *mimetype);

zeitgeist_interpretation_for_mimetype:

Look up the subject interpretation type associated with mimetype.

zeitgeist_register_uri_scheme ()

void                zeitgeist_register_uri_scheme       (const gchar *uri_scheme,
                                                         const gchar *manifestation_type);

zeitgeist_register_uri_scheme:

Associate a URI scheme with a given subject manifestation type. You can find the manifestation type of a given URI by passing it to zeitgeist_manifestation_for_uri().

This library will install a range a common URI schemes for you, so unless you have very specific needs you will normally not have to call this function.

zeitgeist_manifestation_for_uri ()

const gchar *       zeitgeist_manifestation_for_uri     (const gchar *uri);

zeitgeist_manifestation_for_uri

Look up a subject manifestation type for a given URI. Eg. if you pass in file:\/\/\/tmp/foo.txt you will get back ZEITGEIST_NFO_FILE_DATA_OBJECT.
