## Description

## Details

### 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.

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.

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.

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. [transfer none]

### 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.

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.

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. [transfer none]
