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.

Parameters

self

the (null) instance

 

mimetype

 . A MIME-type string. Eg. text/plain.

[in]

interpretation_uri

 . A URI defining the subject interpretation type to associate with "mimetype".

[in]

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.

Parameters

self

the (null) instance

 

mimetype_regex

 . A regular expression matching a certain range of mimetypes. Eg. text/.* to match all text subtypes.

[in]

interpretation_uri

 . A URI defining the subject interpretation type to associate with the matched MIME-types.

[in]

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.

Parameters

self

the (null) instance

 

mimetype

 . A MIME-type string. Eg. text/plain.

[in][allow-none]

Returns

A URI defining the subject interpretation type associated with "mimetype" or NULL in case "mimetype" is unknown.

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.

Parameters

self

the (null) instance

 

uri_scheme

 . A URI scheme such as http:\/\/.

[in]

manifestation_type

 . A URI defining the subject manifestation type to associate with "uri_scheme".

[in]

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.

Parameters

self

the (null) instance

 

uri

 . An URI.

[in]

Returns

A subject manifestation type for uri or NULL in case no suitable manifestation type is known.
