Class MimeCache

Class for reading mime.cache files. Mime cache is mainly optimized for MIME type detection by file name.


					
			class MimeCache
			;

This class is somewhat low level and tricky to use directly. Also it knows nothing about MimeType.

Constructors

Name	Description
`this`	Read mime cache from given file (usually mime.cache from one of mime paths)
`this`	Read mime cache from given data.

Name	Description
`aliases`	MIME type aliases.
`fileName`	File name MimeCache was loaded from.
`findGenericIcon`	Find generic icon name for mime type.
`findIcon`	Find icon name for mime type.
`findMimeTypesByData`	Find all MIME type alternatives for data matching it against magic rules.
`findMimeTypesByGlob`	Find all MIME type alternatives for fileName using glob patterns which are not literals or suffices.
`findMimeTypesByLiteral`	Find all MIME type alternatives for fileName using literal patterns like Makefile.
`findMimeTypesBySuffix`	Find all MIME type alternatives for fileName using suffix patterns like *.cpp. Due to mime cache format characteristics it uses output range instead of returning the input one.
`genericIcons`	Generic icons for MIME types.
`globs`	Glob patterns that are not literal nor suffixes.
`icons`	Icons for MIME types.
`isSubclassOf`	Recursively check if mimeType is subclass of parent.
`literals`	Literal patterns.
`magicMatches`	All magic matches in this mime cache. Matches don't include magic rules themselves, but they reference matchlets.
`magicMatchlets`	One level magic matchlets. matchletCount and firstMatchletOffset should be taken from `MatchEntry` or upper level `MatchletEntry`.
`magicToDelete`	Names of mime types which magic rules from the least preferred mime.cache files should be discarded.
`namespaces`	XML namespaces for MIME types.
`parents`	Get direct parents of given mimeType.
`resolveAlias`	Resolve MIME type name by aliasName.

This class does not try to provide more information than the underlying mime.cache file has.
