Detailed Description
The QTextCodecPlugin class provides an abstract base for custom QTextCodec plugins.
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(), aliases(), createForName(), mibEnums() and createForMib(), and exporting the class with the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN() macro. See How to Create Qt Plugins for details.
See the IANA character-sets encoding file for more information on mime names and mib enums.
Member Function Documentation
QTextCodecPlugin::QTextCodecPlugin ( QObject * parent = 0 )
Constructs a text codec plugin with the given parent. This is invoked automatically by the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN() macro.
QTextCodecPlugin::~QTextCodecPlugin ()
Destroys the text codec plugin.
You never have to call this explicitly. Qt destroys a plugin automatically when it is no longer used.
QList<QByteArray> QTextCodecPlugin::aliases () const [pure virtual]
Returns the list of aliases supported by this plugin.
QTextCodec * QTextCodecPlugin::createForMib ( int mib ) [pure virtual]
Creates a QTextCodec object for the mib enum mib.
See the IANA character-sets encoding file for more information.
See also mibEnums().
QTextCodec * QTextCodecPlugin::createForName ( const QByteArray & name ) [pure virtual]
Creates a QTextCodec object for the codec called name.
See also names().
QList<int> QTextCodecPlugin::mibEnums () const [pure virtual]
Returns the list of mib enums supported by this plugin.
See also createForMib().
QList<QByteArray> QTextCodecPlugin::names () const [pure virtual]
Returns the list of MIME names and aliases supported by this plugin.
See also createForName().
