* @brief Data provider for plasmoids (Plasma plugins)
|
|
*
|
|
* This is the base class for DataEngines, which provide access to bodies of
|
|
* data via a common and consistent interface. The common use of a DataEngine
|
|
* is to provide data to a widget for display. This allows a user interface
|
|
* element to show all sorts of data: as long as there is a DataEngine, the
|
|
* data is retrievable.
|
|
*
|
|
* DataEngines are loaded as plugins on demand and provide zero, one or more
|
|
* data sources which are identified by name. For instance, a network
|
|
* DataEngine might provide a data source for each network interface.
