NAME

       QTextCodecPlugin - Abstract base for custom QTextCodec plugins

SYNOPSIS

       All the functions in this class are reentrant when Qt is built with thread support.</p>

       #include <qtextcodecplugin.h>

   Public Members
       QTextCodecPlugin ()
       ~QTextCodecPlugin ()
       virtual QStringList names () const = 0
       virtual QTextCodec * createForName ( const QString & name ) = 0
       virtual QValueList<int> mibEnums () const = 0
       virtual QTextCodec * createForMib ( int mib ) = 0

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(), 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.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

QTextCodecPlugin::QTextCodecPlugin ()
       Constructs a text codec plugin. 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.

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 QString & name ) [pure virtual]
       Creates a QTextCodec object for the codec called name.

       See also names().

QValueList<;int> QTextCodecPlugin::mibEnums () const [pure virtual]
       Returns the list of mib enums this plugin supports.

       See also createForMib().

QStringList QTextCodecPlugin::names () const [pure virtual]
       Returns the list of mime names this plugin supports.

       See also createForName().
