QTextCodecPlugin Class Reference

Detailed Description

The text codec plugin is a simple plugin interface that makes it easy to create custom text codecs that can be loaded dynamically into applications.

Writing a text codec plugin is achieved by subclassing this base class, reimplementing the pure virtual functions names(), createForName(), mibEnums() and createForMib(), and exporting the class with the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro. See the Qt Plugins documentation for details.

See the IANA character-sets encoding file for more information on mime names and mib enums.

See also Plugins.
