Function Documentation

ChmodJob * KIO::chmod (  const KFileItemList &    lstItems,
int    permissions,
int    mask,
QString    newOwner,
QString    newGroup,
bool    recursive,
bool    showProgressInfo = true
) 
 

Creates a job that changes permissions/ownership on several files or directories, optionally recursively.

This version of chmod uses a KFileItemList so that it directly knows what to do with the items. TODO: a version that takes a KURL::List, and a general job that stats each url and returns a KFileItemList.

Note that change of ownership is only supported for local files.

Inside directories, the "x" bits will only be changed for files that had at least one "x" bit before, and for directories. This emulates the behaviour of chmod +X.

Parameters:
lstItems  The file items representing several files or directories.
permissions  the permissions we want to set
mask  the bits we are allowed to change For instance, if mask is 0077, we don't change the "user" bits, only "group" and "others".
newOwner  If non-empty, the new owner for the files
newGroup  If non-empty, the new group for the files
recursive  whether to open directories recursively
Returns:
The job handling the operation.

SimpleJob * KIO::mkdir (  const KURL &    url,
int    permissions = -1
) 
 

Creates a single directory.

Parameters:
url  The URL of the directory to create.
permissions  The permissions to set after creating the directory.
Returns:
A pointer to the job handling the operation.

Definition at line 569 of file job.cpp.

SimpleJob * KIO::rmdir (  const KURL &    url ) 
 

Removes a single directory.

The directory is assumed to be empty.

Parameters:
url  The URL of the directory to remove.
Returns:
A pointer to the job handling the operation.

Definition at line 576 of file job.cpp.

SimpleJob * KIO::chmod (  const KURL &    url,
int    permissions

Changes permissions on a file or directory.

See the other chmod below for changing many files or directories.

Parameters:
url  The URL of file or directory.
permissions  The permissions to set.
Returns:
The job handling the operation.

Definition at line 583 of file job.cpp.

SimpleJob * KIO::rename (  const KURL &    src,
const KURL &    dest,

Rename a file or directory.

Warning: this operation fails if a direct renaming is not possible (like with files or dirs on separate partitions) Use move or file_move in this case.

Parameters:
src  The original URL
dest  The final URL
overwrite  whether to automatically overwrite if the dest exists
Returns:

Create or move a symlink.

This is the lowlevel operation, similar to file_copy and file_move. It doesn't do any check (other than those the slave does) and it doesn't show rename and skip dialogs - use KIO::link for that.

Parameters:
target  The string that will become the "target" of the link (can be relative)
dest  The symlink to create.
overwrite  whether to automatically overwrite if the dest exists
Returns:
The job handling the operation.

Parameters:
url  The URL isn't passed to the slave, but is used to know which slave to send it to :-)
data  Packed data. The meaning is completely dependent on the slave, but usually starts with an int for the command number.

StatJob * KIO::stat (  const KURL &    url,
bool    sideIsSource,
short int    details,
bool    showProgressInfo = true
) 
 

Find all details for one file or directory.

This version of the call includes two additional booleans, sideIsSource and details.

Parameters:
sideIsSource  is true when stating a source file (we will do a get on it if the stat works) and false when stating a destination file (target of a copy).
details  selects the level of details we want. By default this is 2 (all details wanted, including modification time, size, etc.), setDetails(1) is used when deleting: we don't need all the information if it takes too much time, no need to follow symlinks etc. setDetails(0) is used for very simple probing: we'll only get the answer "it's a file or a directory, or it doesn't exist". This is used by KRun.

TransferJob * KIO::http_post (  const KURL &    url,
const QByteArray &    postData,
bool    showProgressInfo = true

HTTP POST (for form data).

Example:

    job = KIO::http_post( url, postData, false );
    job->addMetaData("content-type", contentType );
    job->addMetaData("referrer", referrerURL);
 

postData is the data that you want to send and contentType is the complete HTTP header line that specifies the content's MIME type, for example "Content-Type: text/xml".

You MUST specify content-type!

Often contentType is "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" and the postData is then an ASCII string (without null-termination!) with characters like space, linefeed and percent escaped like %20, %0A and %25.

Parameters:
url  Where to write data.
postData  Encoded data to post.
showProgressInfo  true to display

CopyJob * KIO::copy (  const KURL &    src,
const KURL &    dest,
bool    showProgressInfo = true
) 
 

Copy a file or directory src into the destination @dest, which can be a file (including the final filename) or a directory (into which src will be copied).

This emulates the cp command completely.

CopyJob * KIO::copyAs (  const KURL &    src,
const KURL &    dest,
bool    showProgressInfo = true
) 
 

Copy a file or directory src into the destination @dest, which is the destination name in any case, even for a directory.

As opposed to copy, this doesn't emulate cp, but is the only way to copy a directory, giving it a new name and getting an error box if a directory already exists with the same name.

Create a link.

Parameters:
src  The existing file or directory, 'target' of the link.
destDir  Destination directory where the link will be created. If the protocols and hosts are the same, a Unix symlink will be created. Otherwise, a .desktop file of Type Link and pointing to the src URL will be created.

save  if the data should be cached for later use
enabledPlugins  if non-zero, this points to a list containing the names of the plugins that may be used. see availablePlugins.

Generates or retrieves a preview image for the given URL.

Parameters:
items  files to get previews for
width  the maximum width to use
height  the maximum height to use, if this is 0, the same value as width is used.

iconAlpha  transparency to use for the icon overlay
scale  if the image is to be scaled to the requested size or returned in its original size
save  if the image should be cached for later use
enabledPlugins  if non-zero, this points to a list containing the names of the plugins that may be used. see availablePlugins.
