## Function Documentation

ChmodJob * KIO::chmod | ( | const KFileItemList & | lstItems,
|  | int | permissions,
|  | int | mask,
|  | QString | newOwner,
|  | QString | newGroup,
|  | bool | recursive,
|  | bool | showProgressInfo = true
| ) |

  | Creates a job that changes permissions/ownership on several files or directories, optionally recursively. This version of chmod uses a KFileItemList so that it directly knows what to do with the items. TODO: a version that takes a KURL::List, and a general job that stats each url and returns a KFileItemList. Note that change of ownership is only supported for local files. Inside directories, the "x" bits will only be changed for files that had at least one "x" bit before, and for directories. This emulates the behaviour of chmod +X. Parameters:
  lstItems | The file items representing several files or directories.
  permissions | the permissions we want to set
  mask | the bits we are allowed to change For instance, if mask is 0077, we don't change the "user" bits, only "group" and "others".
  newOwner | If non-empty, the new owner for the files
  newGroup | If non-empty, the new group for the files
  recursive | whether to open directories recursively
Returns: The job handling the operation. Definition at line 236 of file chmodjob.cpp. References QFile::encodeName(), and QString::isEmpty(). Referenced by KFilePermissionsPropsPlugin::applyChanges().

Returns: A pointer to the job handling the operation. Definition at line 569 of file job.cpp.

SimpleJob * KIO::rmdir | ( | const KURL & | url | ) |

  | Removes a single directory. The directory is assumed to be empty. Parameters:
  url | The URL of the directory to remove.
Returns: A pointer to the job handling the operation. Definition at line 576 of file job.cpp.

SimpleJob * KIO::chmod | ( | const KURL & | url,

  target | The string that will become the "target" of the link (can be relative)
  dest | The symlink to create.
  overwrite | whether to automatically overwrite if the dest exists
Returns: The job handling the operation. Definition at line 597 of file job.cpp. Referenced by KTar::openArchive().

  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.

SimpleJob * KIO::http_update_cache | ( | const KURL & | url,
|  | bool | no_cache,
|  | time_t | expireDate
| ) |

  | HTTP cache update. Parameters:
  url | Url to update, protocol must be "http".
  no_cache | If true, cache entry for `url` is deleted.
  expireDate | Local machine time indicating when the entry is supposed to expire.

StatJob * KIO::stat | ( | const KURL & | url,
|  | bool | sideIsSource,
|  | short int | details,
|  | bool | showProgressInfo = true
| ) |

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

TransferJob * KIO::get | ( | const KURL & | url,

TransferJob * KIO::put | ( | const KURL & | url,
|  | int | permissions,
|  | bool | overwrite,
|  | bool | resume,
|  | bool | showProgressInfo = true

  | Put (a.k.a. write) Parameters:
  url | Where to write data.
  permissions | May be -1. In this case no special permission mode is set.
  overwrite | If `true`, any existing file will be overwritten.
  resume |

TransferJob * KIO::http_post | ( | const KURL & | url,
|  | const QByteArray & | postData,
|  | bool | showProgressInfo = true
| ) |

| HTTP POST (for form data). Example:
        job = KIO::http_post( url, postData, false );
        job->addMetaData("content-type", contentType );
        job->addMetaData("referrer", referrerURL);

`postData` is the data that you want to send and `contentType` is the complete HTTP header line that specifies the content's MIME type, for example "Content-Type: text/xml".

You MUST specify content-type!

Often `contentType` is "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" and the `postData` is then an ASCII string (without null-termination!) with characters like space, linefeed and percent escaped like 20, 0A and 25.

Parameters:

  url | Where to write data.
  postData | Encoded data to post.
  showProgressInfo | true to display

ListJob * KIO::listRecursive | ( | const KURL & | url,
|  | bool | showProgressInfo = true,
|  | bool | includeHidden = true

| Copy a file or directory `src` into the destination , 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.
