SYNOPSIS

use HaikuR1::Mime qw(get_device_icon B_LARGE_ICON);

my $bitmap = get_device_icon($device_name, B_LARGE_ICON);

from HaikuR1.Mime import get_device_icon, B_LARGE_ICON

bitmap = get_device_icon(device_name, B_LARGE_ICON)

DESCRIPTION

Exposes the mime function and constants.

For more information on Mime, see the Haiku Book class description.

FUNCTIONS

Icons

get_device_icon

get_named_icon

Gets the indicated icon. The versions that take an icon size return the icon as a Bitmap. The other versions return two items: the raw data and the icon type. (At the moment, type is always 'B_VECTOR_ICON_TYPE.)

The Bitmap versions actually call the raw data versions and convert the data into a Bitmap. If no vector icon is found, get_device_icon will also check for legacy icons.

Note that named icons are stored in one of four directories: B_USER_NONPACKAGED_DATA_DIRECTORY, B_USER_DATA_DIRECTORY, B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DATA_DIRECTORY, and B_SYSTEM_DATA_DIRECTORY (and they are checked in this order).

get_device_icon($device, $which);
get_device_icon($device);
get_named_icon($name, $which);
get_named_icon($name);

get_device_icon(device, which)
get_device_icon(device)
get_named_icon(name, which)
get_named_icon(name)

• device

  A string, the name of the device (not the name of the volume). You can get the device name for a path by running df in the Terminal.)

• name

  A string, the name of the desired icon.

• which

  An integer, one of the icon size constants.

MIME info

update_mime_info

create_app_meta_mime

update_mime_info updates the MIME info for one or more files. create_app_meta_mime creates an entry in the File Types database for an application.

update_mime_info($path, $recursive, $synchronous, $force);
create_app_meta_mime($path, $recursive, $synchronous, $force);

update_mime_info(path,recursive,synchronous,force)
create_app_meta_mime(path,recursive,synchronous,force)

• path

  A file or directory; if the empty value is passed, all files are updated, or all File Types entries are created for all applications.

• recursive

  An integer; if non-zero and path indicates a directory, the directory is updated recursively. (This is currently ignored by create_app_meta_mime.)

• synchronous

  An integer; if non-zero, the function doesn't return until the action is complete, and the function may generate an error; if 0, the function returns immediately.

• force

  An integer, one of the force constants.
