|
|
kded is responsible for creating the sycoca file, i.e. the binary
|
|
cache of servicetypes, mimetypes and services, for a particular user.
|
|
|
|
It uses KDirWatch to monitor the directories contain the .desktop files.
|
|
When a file is added/removed, it waits 5 seconds (in case of series of
|
|
updates), and then launches tdebuildsycoca.
|
|
|
|
tdebuildsycoca recreates the sycoca file by:
|
|
* parsing all .desktop files, replacing global ones by local ones (at any
|
|
level of the hierarchy)
|
|
* creating all objects in memory
|
|
* saving everything in the sycoca file (see below for tdesycoca internals)
|
|
* clearing all memory
|
|
* notifying the applications that use tdesycoca by a DCOP call to the tdesycoca
|
|
object (KSycoca::notifyDatabaseChanged()).

This allows to quickly find services associated with a servicetype.
|
|
It does NOT reflect the user profile, which is stored in profilerc and
|
|
implemented in KServiceTypeProfile.

Mimetype patterns
|
|
| Fast patterns (fixed size)
|
|
| * Extension (padded to 4 chars), mimetype offset
|
|
| * Extension (padded to 4 chars), mimetype offset
|
|
| * Extension (padded to 4 chars), mimetype offset
|
|
| Other patterns (variable size)
|
|
| * Pattern (ex : *.*gf), mimetype offset
|
|
| * Pattern (ex : Makefile*), mimetype offset
|
|
| * ""
|
|
|
|
The first one is designed for a binary search, since entries have a fixed size
|
|
and are sorted by extension.
|
|
The second one (10% of the mimetypes usually) is for a linear search.
