The kioslave
application template is a simple
KIO-slave that implements a simple RAM disk. Once installed it can be
accessed using kioslave:/ in konqueror. It is initially empty. Files and
directories can be made and deposited. kioslave.py
contains more information and comments.
Note that the KIO subsystem usually creates multiple running instances of a kio-slave backend. For the application template, files and directories are specific to each particular backend instance. When using konqueror the same instance will be used, but if you try to access kioslave:/ from a different process a new (empty!) instance will be craeted. This can be confusing! Be aware.
