Syntax

uint64_t truxton_file_type_create( uint64_t truxton_handle );

Parameters

truxton_handle

The Truxton instance this file type will belong. This handle comes from calling truxton_create().

Return value

A handle to a file type object.

Sample

void create_file_type(void)
{
   uint64_t truxton = truxton_create();

   uint64_t file_type = truxton_file_type_create(truxton);

   truxton_file_type_set_short_name( file_type, "My Type" );
   truxton_file_type_set_long_name( file_type, "A new custom type derived from XML" );
   truxton_file_type_set_parent_id( file_type, Type_XML );
   truxton_file_type_set_extension( file_type, "xm2" );
   truxton_file_type_set_mime_type( file_type, "text/xml" );

   if ( truxton_file_type_save( file_type ) == 0 )
   {
      printf("Cannot save file type to the database.\n");
   }

   uint64_t new_id = truxton_file_type_get_id( file_type );

   if ( new_id == 0 )
   {
      printf( "Failed to create new file type\n" );
   }
   else
   {
      printf( "Created new file type as id %" PRIu64 "\n", new_id );
   }

   truxton_file_type_destroy(file_type);
   truxton_destroy(truxton);
}
