Combo / lib / Type

[..] [files]

This directory contains ``type handlers'' -- Perl modules that handle files and directories containing various types of data. Each module contains the methods for viewing, editing, and processing and describing a type of content. The set is, of course, extensible: any module with a name of the form Type::* can be created corresponding to a set of file extensions.

Note that the mapping from extensions to handlers is not one-to-one, or even particularly well-defined. In particular, things like directories and configuration (property) files can have multiple types; for example, a user's home directory is treated very specially. It's up to the site's resource manager (Site::Resource or a subclass) to sort this kind of thing out.

Currently this code is not used; refactoring is in progress.

Manager.pm

This is the class that actually maps paths onto types, using $mgr->getTypeFor($cxt, $realpath)
