## Description

## Functions

### 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_register_mimetype_regex

### 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_register_uri_scheme

### 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

.
