💖 Gnome2::VFS::ApplicationRegistry 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection — it's Gnome2:...egistry(3), aka the Gnome2::VFS::ApplicationRegistry module. yes the title got cutely truncated in the header, that's just how it's filed, don't panic. she's a little vintage, she's a little niche, but she still ate. let's get into it 🫶

✨ METHODS ✨

  • scalar = Gnome2::VFS::ApplicationRegistry->new ($app_id)

makes you a shiny new registry object. takes these:

  • $app_id — a string. that's it, that's the whole vibe.
  • list = Gnome2::VFS::ApplicationRegistry->get_applications ($mime_type=undef)
    • $mime_type — a string. defaults to undef if you don't pass one, no pressure.

returns a list of valid application id's that can handle this MIME type. literally she's like "here's everybody who can open this file for u 💅". slay.

  • Gnome2::VFS::ApplicationRegistry->reload
  • Gnome2::VFS::ApplicationRegistry->shutdown
  • result = Gnome2::VFS::ApplicationRegistry->sync

🌈 ENUMS AND FLAGS 🌈

🎀 enum Gnome2::VFS::Result 🎀
