|  | KSycocaEntry | other
| ) |  |  |

QString entryPath | ( |  | self ) |

bool isDeleted | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  true if deleted

bool isSeparator | ( |  | self ) |

bool isType | ( | self, |
|  | KSycocaType | t
| ) |  |  |

internal

bool isValid | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  true if valid

QString name | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  the name of this entry

int offset | ( |  | self ) |

Internal:

Returns:
  the position of the entry in the sycoca file

QVariant property | ( | self, |
|  | QString | name
| ) |  |  |

Returns the requested property. Some often used properties have convenience access functions like exec(), serviceTypes etc.

Parameters:

  | name | the name of the property

Returns:
  the property, or invalid if not found

QStringList propertyNames | ( |  | self ) |

Returns the list of all properties that this service can have. That means, that some of these properties may be empty.

Returns:
  the list of supported properties

save | ( | self, |
|  | QDataStream | s
| ) |  |  |

Internal:
  Save ourselves to the database.

setDeleted | ( | self, |
|  | bool | deleted
| ) |  |  |

Sets whether or not this service is deleted

QString storageId | ( |  | self ) |

  the unique ID for this entry In practice, this is storageId() for KService and name() for everything else.

Since:
  4.2.1
