M_SKIP: Offer a "Skip" button, to skip other files too. Requires M_MULTI. M_SINGLE: Deprecated and unused, please ignore. M_MULTI: Set if the current operation concerns multiple files, so it makes sense to offer buttons that apply the user's choice to all files/folders. M_RESUME: Offer a "Resume" button (plus "Resume All" if M_MULTI) M_NORENAME: Don't offer a "Rename" button M_ISDIR: The dest is a directory, so label the "overwrite" button something like "merge" instead.

|  | KIO.JobFlags | flags=KIO.DefaultFlags
| ) |  |  |

Copy a list of file/dirs src into a destination directory dest.

Parameters:

  | src | the list of files and/or directories
  | dest | the destination
  | flags: | copy() supports HideProgressInfo and Overwrite. Note: Overwrite has the meaning of both "write into existing directories" and "overwrite existing files". However if "dest" exists, then src is copied into a subdir of dest, just like "cp" does.

Returns:
  the job handling the operation

KIO.CopyJob copyAs | ( | KUrl | src,
|  | KUrl | dest,
|  | KIO.JobFlags | flags=KIO.DefaultFlags
| ) |  |  |

Copy a file or directory src into the destination dest, which is the destination name in any case, even for a directory.

As opposed to copy(), this doesn't emulate cp, but is the only way to copy a directory, giving it a new name and getting an error box if a directory already exists with the same name (or writing the contents of src into dest, when using Overwrite).

Parameters:

  | src | the file or directory to copy
  | dest | the destination
  | flags: | copyAs() supports HideProgressInfo and Overwrite. Note: Overwrite has the meaning of both "write into existing directories" and "overwrite existing files".

KIO.DirectorySizeJob directorySize | ( | KUrl | directory
| ) |  |  |

Computes a directory size (by doing a recursive listing). Connect to the result signal (this is the preferred solution to avoid blocking the GUI), or use exec() for a synchronous (blocking) calculation.

This one lists the items from lstItems. The reason we asks for items instead of just urls, is so that we directly know if the item is a file or a directory, and in case of a file, we already have its size.

KIO.TransferJob get | ( | KUrl | url,
|  | KIO.LoadType | reload=KIO.NoReload,
|  | KIO.JobFlags | flags=KIO.DefaultFlags
| ) |  |  |

Get (a.k.a. read). This is the job to use in order to "download" a file into memory. The slave emits the data through the data() signal.

Special case: if you want to determine the mimetype of the file first, and then read it with the appropriate component, you can still use a KIO.get() directly. When that job emits the mimeType signal, (which is guaranteed to happen before it emits any data), put the job on hold:

    job->putOnHold();
    KIO.Scheduler.publishSlaveOnHold();

and forget about the job. The next time someone does a KIO.get() on the same URL (even in another process) this job will be resumed. This saves KIO from doing two requests to the server.

Parameters:

  | url | the URL of the file
  | reload: | Reload to reload the file, NoReload if it can be taken from the cache
  | flags | Can be HideProgressInfo here

Returns:
  the job handling the operation.

QDataStream operator << | ( | QDataStream | s,
|  | KIO.AuthInfo | a
| ) |  |  |

This class is intended to make it easier to prompt for, cache and retrieve authorization information.

When using this class to cache, retrieve or prompt authentication information, you only need to set the necessary attributes. For example, to check whether a password is already cached, the only required information is the URL of the resource and optionally whether or not a path match should be performed. Similarly, to prompt for password you only need to optionally set the prompt, username (if already supplied), comment and commentLabel fields.

<em>SPECIAL NOTE:</em> If you extend this class to add additional parameters do not forget to overload the stream insertion and extraction operators ("<<" and ">>") so that the added data can be correctly serialzed.

A two way messaging class for passing authentication information.

| ) |  |  |

Pastes the given data to the given destination URL. NOTE: This method is blocking (uses NetAccess for saving the data). Please consider using pasteDataAsync instead.

Parameters:

  | destURL | the URL of the directory where the data will be pasted. The filename to use in that directory is prompted by this method.
  | data | the data to copy
  | widget | parent widget to use for dialogs

See also:

This method is a candidate for disappearing in KDE5, email faure at kde.org if you are using it in your application, then I'll reconsider.

KIO.CopyJob pasteDataAsync | ( | KUrl | destURL,
|  | QByteArray | data,
|  | QWidget | widget,
|  | QString | dialogText=QString()
| ) |  |  |

Pastes the given data to the given destination URL. Note that this method requires the caller to have chosen the QByteArray to paste before hand, unlike pasteClipboard and pasteMimeSource.

Parameters:

  | destURL | the URL of the directory where the data will be pasted. The filename to use in that directory is prompted by this method.
  | data | the data to copy
  | dialogText | the text to show in the dialog

KIO.SimpleJob rename | ( | KUrl | src,
|  | KUrl | dest,
|  | KIO.JobFlags | flags=KIO.DefaultFlags
| ) |  |  |

Rename a file or directory. Warning: this operation fails if a direct renaming is not possible (like with files or dirs on separate partitions) Use move or file_move in this case.

Parameters:

  | dest | The final URL
  | flags | Can be Overwrite here

Returns:
  the job handling the operation.

KIO.SimpleJob rmdir | ( | KUrl | url
| ) |  |  |

Removes a single directory.

The directory is assumed to be empty. The job will fail if the directory is not empty. Use KIO.del() (DeleteJob) to delete non-empty directories.

Parameters:

  | url | The URL of the directory to remove.

Returns:
  A pointer to the job handling the operation.

KIO.SimpleJob setModificationTime | ( | KUrl | url,
|  | QDateTime | mtime

  the job handling the operation.

KIO.SimpleJob special | ( | KUrl | url,
|  | QByteArray | data,
|  | KIO.JobFlags | flags=KIO.DefaultFlags
| ) |  |  |

Execute any command that is specific to one slave (protocol).

Examples are : HTTP POST, mount and unmount (kio_file)

Parameters:

  | url | The URL isn't passed to the slave, but is used to know which slave to send it to :-)
  | data | Packed data. The meaning is completely dependent on the slave, but usually starts with an int for the command number.
  | flags | Can be HideProgressInfo here

Returns:
  the job handling the operation.

KIO.StatJob stat | ( | KUrl | url,
|  | KIO.JobFlags | flags=KIO.DefaultFlags
| ) |  |  |

Find all details for one file or directory. This version of the call includes two additional booleans, sideIsSource and details.

Parameters:

  | url | the URL of the file

  sideIsSource

  is true when stating a source file (we will do a get on it if the stat works) and false when stating a destination file (target of a copy). The reason for this parameter is that in some cases the kioslave might not be able to determine a file's existence (e.g. HTTP doesn't allow it, FTP has issues with case-sensitivity on some systems). When the slave can't reliably determine the existence of a file, it will:

- be optimistic if sideIsSource=true, i.e. it will assume the file exists,
and if it doesn't this will appear when actually trying to download it
- be pessimistic if sideIsSource=false, i.e. it will assume the file
doesn't exist, to prevent showing "about to overwrite" errors to the user. If you simply want to check for existence without downloading/uploading afterwards, then you should use sideIsSource=false.

Parameters:

  details

  selects the level of details we want. By default this is 2 (all details wanted, including modification time, size, etc.), setDetails(1) is used when deleting: we don't need all the information if it takes too much time, no need to follow symlinks etc. setDetails(0) is used for very simple probing: we'll only get the answer "it's a file or a directory, or it doesn't exist". This is used by KRun.

  | flags | Can be HideProgressInfo here

Returns:
  the job handling the operation.
