## Detailed Description

SlaveConfig.

This class manages the configuration for io-slaves based on protocol and host. The Scheduler makes use of this class to configure the slave whenever it has to connect to a new host.

You only need to use this class if you want to override specific configuration items of an io-slave when the io-slave is used by your application.

Normally io-slaves are being configured by "kio_<protocol>rc" configuration files. Groups defined in such files are treated as host or domain specification. Configuration items defined in a group are only applied when the slave is connecting with a host that matches with the host and/or domain specified by the group.

Definition at line 49 of file slaveconfig.h.

## Member Function Documentation

void KIO::SlaveConfig::setConfigData | ( | const QString & | protocol,
|  | const QString & | host,
|  | const QString & | key,
|  | const QString & | value
| ) |

| Configure slaves of type `protocol` by setting `key` to `value`. If `host` is specified the configuration only applies when dealing with `host`. Changes made to the slave configuration only apply to slaves used by the current process. Definition at line 159 of file slaveconfig.cpp. References KStdAccel::key().

void KIO::SlaveConfig::setConfigData | ( | const QString & | protocol,
|  | const QString & | host,
|  | const MetaData & | config
| ) |

| Configure slaves of type `protocol` with `config`. If `host` is specified the configuration only applies when dealing with `host`. Changes made to the slave configuration only apply to slaves used by the current process. Definition at line 169 of file slaveconfig.cpp. References QString::isEmpty().

MetaData KIO::SlaveConfig::configData | ( | const QString & | protocol,
|  | const QString & | host
| ) |

| Query slave configuration for slaves of type `protocol` when dealing with `host`. Definition at line 193 of file slaveconfig.cpp. References configNeeded(), and QString::isEmpty(). Referenced by configData().

QString KIO::SlaveConfig::configData | ( | const QString & | protocol,
|  | const QString & | host,
|  | const QString & | key
| ) |

| Query a specific configuration key for slaves of type `protocol` when dealing with `host`. Definition at line 212 of file slaveconfig.cpp. References configData(), and KStdAccel::key().

void KIO::SlaveConfig::reset | ( |  | ) |

| Undo any changes made by calls to setConfigData. Definition at line 217 of file slaveconfig.cpp.

void KIO::SlaveConfig::configNeeded | ( | const QString & | protocol,
|  | const QString & | host
| ) | `[signal]`

| This signal is raised when a slave of type `protocol` deals with `host` for the first time. Your application can use this signal to make some last minute configuration changes with setConfigData based on the host. Referenced by configData().
