Implemented Interfaces

TrackerMinerManager implements GInitable.

Includes

#include <libtracker-miner/tracker-miner.h>

Description

TrackerMinerManager keeps track of available miners, their current progress/status, and also allows basic external control on them, such as pausing or resuming data processing.

Functions

tracker_miner_manager_error_quark ()

GQuark
tracker_miner_manager_error_quark (void);

Returns

the GQuark used to identify miner manager errors in GError structures.

Since 0.8

tracker_miner_manager_get_available ()

GSList *
tracker_miner_manager_get_available (TrackerMinerManager *manager);

Returns a list of references for all available miners. Available miners are miners which may or may not be running in a process at the current time.

Parameters

manager

a TrackerMinerManager

  

Returns

a GSList which must be freed with g_slist_free() and all contained data with g_free(). Otherwise NULL is returned if there are no miners.

Returns

TRUE on success, otherwise FALSE.

                                  GError **error);

Tells the filesystem miner to index the file .

On failure error will be set.

Parameters

manager

a TrackerMinerManager

  

file

a URL valid in GIO of a file to give to the miner for processing

  

error

return location for errors.

[out callee-allocates][transfer full][allow-none]

Returns the miner's current activity.

Parameters

manager

a TrackerMinerManager

Since 0.8

tracker_miner_manager_is_paused ()

gboolean
tracker_miner_manager_is_paused (TrackerMinerManager *manager,

                                 GStrv *reasons);

This function either returns FALSE if the miner is not paused, or returns TRUE and fills in applications and reasons with the pause reasons and the applications that asked for it. Both arrays will have the same lengh, and will be sorted so the application/pause reason pairs have the same index.

Parameters

manager

a TrackerMinerManager

  

miner

miner reference

  

applications

return location for application names.

[out callee-allocates][allow-none][transfer full]

reasons

return location for pause reasons.

Returns

TRUE if miner is paused, otherwise FALSE.

Since 0.8

TrackerMinerManager *
tracker_miner_manager_new (void);

Creates a new TrackerMinerManager instance.

Note: Auto-starting miners when querying status will be enabled.

Returns

a TrackerMinerManager or NULL if an error happened.

Since 0.8

tracker_miner_manager_new_full ()

TrackerMinerManager *
tracker_miner_manager_new_full (gboolean auto_start,
                                GError **error);

Creates a new TrackerMinerManager.

Parameters

auto_start

Flag to disable auto-starting the miners when querying status

  

error

a GError to report errors.

  

Returns

a TrackerMinerManager. On error, NULL is returned and error is set accordingly.

Since 0.10.5

tracker_miner_manager_pause ()

gboolean
tracker_miner_manager_pause (TrackerMinerManager *manager,
                             const gchar *miner,
                             const gchar *reason,
                             guint32 *cookie);

Asks miner to pause. a miner could be paused by several reasons, and its activity won't be resumed until all pause requests have been resumed.

Parameters

manager

a TrackerMinerManager.

  

miner

miner reference

  

reason

reason to pause

  

cookie

return location for the pause cookie ID.

[out][allow-none]

Returns

TRUE if the miner was paused successfully, otherwise FALSE.

                                const gchar *reason,
                                guint32 *cookie);

This function operates exactly the same way as tracker_miner_manager_pause() with the exception that if the calling process dies, the pause is resumed. This API is useful for cases where the calling process has a risk of crashing without resuming the pause.

NOTE: If you call g_object_unref() on the manager before you intend to resume the pause and it finalizes, it will automatically resume.

Parameters

manager

a TrackerMinerManager.

  

miner

miner reference

  

reason

reason to pause

  

cookie

return location for the pause cookie ID.

[out][allow-none]

Returns

TRUE if the miner was paused successfully, otherwise FALSE.

                                GError **error);

Tells the filesystem miner to reindex any file with a mimetype in the mimetypes list.

On failure error will be set.

Parameters

Returns

TRUE on success, otherwise FALSE.

Since 0.10

                              guint32 cookie);

Tells miner to resume activity. The miner won't actually resume operations until all pause requests have been resumed.
