Gnome2:...ication(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Gnome2::VFS::Application — bestie, that's the whole name section, she's lowkey minimal like that 💅

Okay so listen. This is the Perl side of GNOME VFS's application object — the thing that knows what an app is, what it can open, and what little config keys it's got tucked away. The manual name is Gnome2:...ication(3) (yes, truncated, the man page title got cut off mid-word and honestly? relatable) and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section. 🎀

🌸 METHODS 🌸

This is where all the action is. Every method, every arg, every type — no cap, nothing skipped. Some of these have a little description, some just hand you the signature and stare at you. That's not me being lazy, that's literally the original. 💀

💖 $app_id->add_mime_type ($mime_type)

• $mime_type (string) — one string, that's the vibe

💖 list = $app_id->get_bool_value ($key)

• $key (string) — one string

Returns the actual value and a boolean indicating whether the requested key was found. So you get two things back in one list, bestie — the value and a lil yes/no about whether it even existed. 🫶

💖 $app_id->set_bool_value ($key, $value)

• $key (string)
• $value (boolean)

💖 $app_id->clear_mime_types

No args, no returns listed, just a clean slate. Periodt. ✨

💖 boolean = $app_id->exists

Hands you back a boolean. That's it, that's the whole thing. 🦋

💖 list = $app_id->get_keys

Returns a list of valid keys for that application. Your key inventory, handed to you in a list. 👑

💖 application = $app_id->get_mime_application

Gives you back an application. No args listed, no extra notes — she's mysterious, she's giving main character energy. 🌈

💖 list = $app_id->get_mime_types

Returns a list of MIME types this application can handle. So like, everything this app is willing to open. 🍓

💖 string = $app_id->peek_value ($key)

• $key (string)

Returns a string. Peek, don't touch, iykyk. 🙈

💖 $app_id->remove_application

No args. She's gone, she said bye. 💀

💖 $app_id->remove_mime_type ($mime_type)

• $mime_type (string)

💖 boolean = $app_id->supports_mime_type ($mime_type)

• $mime_type (string)

💖 boolean = $app_id->supports_uri_scheme ($uri_scheme)

• $uri_scheme (string)

💖 $app_id->unset_key ($key)

• $key (string)

💖 $app_id->set_value ($key, $value)

• $key (string)
• $value (string)

Note the plot twist: set_value takes a string value, while set_bool_value up above takes a boolean. Two different setters, two different vibes. Don't mix them up fr fr. 💅
