Returns : True if the file type corresponds to a type that can be executable, False otherwise. The content_type_can_be_executable() function checks if a content type can be executable. Note that for instance things like text files can be executables (i.e. scripts and batch files). content_type_equals type1 type2 type1 : a content type string. type2 : a content type string. Returns : True if the two strings are identical or equivalent, False otherwise. The content_type_equals() function compares two content types for equality. content_type_from_mime_type mime_type mime_type : a mime type string. Returns : The content type or None when does not know. The content_type_from_mime_type() function tries to find a content type based on the mime type name. content_type_get_description type type : a content type string. Returns : a short description of the content type type. The content_type_get_description() function gets the human readable description of the content type. content_type_get_icon type type : a content type string. Returns : A gio.Icon corresponding to the content type. The content_type_get_icon() function gets the icon for a content type. content_type_get_mime_type type type : a content type string. Returns : the registered mime-type for the given type, or None if unknown. The content_type_get_mime_type() function gets the mime-type for the content type. If one is registered content_type_guess filename data want_uncertain filename : a string, or None. data : a stream of data, or None. want_uncertain : a flag indicating the certainty of the result. Returns : a string indicating a guessed content type for the given data. The content_type_guess() function guesses the content type based on example data. If the function is uncertain, result_uncertain will be set to True. Either filename or data may be None, in which case the guess will be based solely on the other argument. content_type_is_a type supertype type : a content type string. supertype : a string. Returns : True if type is a kind of supertype, False otherwise. The content_type_is_a() function determines if type is a subset of supertype. content_type_is_unknown type type : a content type string. Returns : True if the type is the unknown type. The content_type_is_unknown() function checks if the content type is the generic "unknown" type. On unix this is the "application/octet-stream" mimetype, while on win32 it is "*". content_types_get_registered Returns : a list of the registered content types. The content_types_get_registered() function gets a list of strings containing all the registered content types known to the system. io_error_from_errno err_no err_no : Error number. Returns : a The io_error_from_errno() function converts error codes into GIO error codes.
