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.

tracker_miner_manager_get_running ()

GSList *            tracker_miner_manager_get_running   (TrackerMinerManager *manager);

gboolean            tracker_miner_manager_pause         (TrackerMinerManager *manager,
                                                         const gchar *miner,

                                                         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.

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.

Since 0.8

tracker_miner_manager_pause_for_process ()

gboolean            tracker_miner_manager_pause_for_process

                                                         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.

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.

Since 0.10.15

tracker_miner_manager_resume ()

gboolean            tracker_miner_manager_resume        (TrackerMinerManager *manager,

cookie :

 pause cookie

Returns :

 TRUE if the miner was successfully resumed, otherwise FALSE.

Returns the miner's current activity.

manager :

 a TrackerMinerManager

miner :

 miner reference

Returns :

                                                         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.

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

Tells the filesystem miner to index the file. When the operation is called, callback will be called. You can then call tracker_miner_manager_index_file_finish() to get the result of the operation.

manager :

 a TrackerMinerManager

file :

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

cancellable :

 a GCancellable, or NULL. [allow-none]

callback :

 a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied. [scope async]

user_data :

 the data to pass to the callback function

Finishes a request to index a file. See tracker_miner_manager_index_file_async()

On failure error will be set.

Warning

tracker_miner_manager_ignore_next_update is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. 0.12

Tells the miner to ignore any events for the next urls. This is used for cases where a file is updated by Tracker by the tracker-writeback service. This API is used to avoid signalling up the stack the changes to urls.

manager :

 a TrackerMinerManager

miner :

 miner reference

urls :

 the subjects to ignore the next updates of. [in]

Returns :

 TRUE on success, otherwise FALSE.
