    \class QAbstractFileEngineHandler
    \reentrant

    \brief The QAbstractFileEngineHandler class provides a way to register
    custom file engines with your application.

    \ingroup io
    \since 4.1

    QAbstractFileEngineHandler is a factory for creating QAbstractFileEngine
    objects (file engines), which are used internally by QFile, QFileInfo, and
    QDir when working with files and directories.

    When you open a file, Qt chooses a suitable file engine by passing the
    file name from QFile or QDir through an internal list of registered file
    engine handlers. The first handler to recognize the file name is used to
    create the engine. Qt provides internal file engines for working with
    regular files and resources, but you can also register your own
    QAbstractFileEngine subclasses.

    To install an application-specific file engine, you subclass
    QAbstractFileEngineHandler and reimplement create(). When you instantiate
    the handler (e.g. by creating an instance on the stack or on the heap), it
    will automatically register with Qt. (The latest registered handler takes
    precedence over existing handlers.)

    For example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_io_qabstractfileengine.cpp 0

    When the handler is destroyed, it is automatically removed from Qt.

    The most common approach to registering a handler is to create an instance
    as part of the start-up phase of your application. It is also possible to
    limit the scope of the file engine handler to a particular area of
    interest (e.g. a special file dialog that needs a custom file engine). By
    creating the handler inside a local scope, you can precisely control the
    area in which your engine will be applied without disturbing file
    operations in other parts of your application.

    \class QAbstractFileEngine
    \reentrant

    \brief The QAbstractFileEngine class provides an abstraction for accessing
    the filesystem.

    \ingroup io
    \since 4.1

    The QDir, QFile, and QFileInfo classes all make use of a
    QAbstractFileEngine internally. If you create your own QAbstractFileEngine
    subclass (and register it with Qt by creating a QAbstractFileEngineHandler
    subclass), your file engine will be used when the path is one that your
    file engine handles.

    A QAbstractFileEngine refers to one file or one directory. If the referent
    is a file, the setFileName(), rename(), and remove() functions are
    applicable. If the referent is a directory the mkdir(), rmdir(), and
    entryList() functions are applicable. In all cases the caseSensitive(),
    isRelativePath(), fileFlags(), ownerId(), owner(), and fileTime()
    functions are applicable.

    A QAbstractFileEngine subclass can be created to do synchronous network I/O
    based file system operations, local file system operations, or to operate
    as a resource system to access file based resources.

    \class QAbstractFileEngineIterator
    \brief The QAbstractFileEngineIterator class provides an iterator
    interface for custom file engines.

    If all you want is to iterate over entries in a directory, see
    QDirIterator instead. This class is only for custom file engine authors.

    QAbstractFileEngineIterator is a unidirectional single-use virtual
    iterator that plugs into QDirIterator, providing transparent proxy
    iteration for custom file engines.

    You can subclass QAbstractFileEngineIterator to provide an iterator when
    writing your own file engine. To plug the iterator into your file system,
    you simply return an instance of this subclass from a reimplementation of
    QAbstractFileEngine::beginEntryList().

    Example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_io_qabstractfileengine.cpp 2

    QAbstractFileEngineIterator is associated with a path, name filters, and
    entry filters. The path is the directory that the iterator lists entries
    in. The name filters and entry filters are provided for file engines that
    can optimize directory listing at the iterator level (e.g., network file
    systems that need to minimize network traffic), but they can also be
    ignored by the iterator subclass; QAbstractFileEngineIterator already
    provides the required filtering logics in the matchesFilters() function.
    You can call dirName() to get the directory name, nameFilters() to get a
    stringlist of name filters, and filters() to get the entry filters.

    The pure virtual function hasNext() returns true if the current directory
    has at least one more entry (i.e., the directory name is valid and
    accessible, and we have not reached the end of the entry list), and false
    otherwise. Reimplement next() to seek to the next entry.

    The pure virtual function currentFileName() returns the name of the
    current entry without advancing the iterator. The currentFilePath()
    function is provided for convenience; it returns the full path of the
    current entry.

    Here is an example of how to implement an iterator that returns each of
    three fixed entries in sequence.

    Note: QAbstractFileEngineIterator does not deal with QDir::IteratorFlags;
    it simply returns entries for a single directory.

   \enum QAbstractFileEngine::Extension
   \since 4.3

   This enum describes the types of extensions that the file engine can
   support. Before using these extensions, you must verify that the extension
   is supported (i.e., call supportsExtension()).

   \value AtEndExtension Whether the current file position is at the end of
   the file or not. This extension allows file engines that implement local
   buffering to report end-of-file status without having to check the size of
   the file. It is also useful for sequential files, where the size of the
   file cannot be used to determine whether or not you have reached the end.
   This extension returns true if the file is at the end; otherwise it returns
   false. The input and output arguments to extension() are ignored.

   \value FastReadLineExtension Whether the file engine provides a
   fast implementation for readLine() or not. If readLine() remains
   unimplemented in the file engine, QAbstractFileEngine will provide
   an implementation based on calling read() repeatedly. If
   supportsExtension() returns false for this extension, however,
   QIODevice can provide a faster implementation by making use of its
   internal buffer. For engines that already provide a fast readLine()
   implementation, returning false for this extension can avoid
   unnnecessary double-buffering in QIODevice.

   \value MapExtension Whether the file engine provides the ability to map
   a file to memory.

   \value UnMapExtension Whether the file engine provides the ability to
   unmap memory that was previously mapped.
