# qlocalfs(3qt)

Implementation of a QNetworkProtocol that works on the local file system

## NAME

QLocalFs - Implementation of a QNetworkProtocol that works on the local file system

## SYNOPSIS

`#include <qlocalfs.h>`

Inherits QNetworkProtocol.

### Public Members

**QLocalFs ()**\

## DESCRIPTION

The QLocalFs class is an implementation of a QNetworkProtocol that works on the local file system.

This class is derived from QNetworkProtocol. QLocalFs is not normally used directly, but rather through a QUrlOperator, for example:

```
    QUrlOperator op( "file:///tmp" );
    op.listChildren(); // Asks the server to provide a directory listing
```

This code will only work if the QLocalFs class is registered; to register the class, you must call qInitNetworkProtocols() before using a QUrlOperator with QLocalFs.

If you really need to use QLocalFs directly, don't forget to set its QUrlOperator with setUrl().

See also Qt Network Documentation, QNetworkProtocol, QUrlOperator, and Input/Output and Networking.
