### go_file_opener_open ()

    void
    go_file_opener_open (GOFileOpener const *fo,
                         gchar const *opt_enc,
                         GOIOContext *io_context,
                         GoView *view,
                         GsfInput *input);

Reads content of `file_name` file into workbook `wbv` is attached to. Results are reported using `io_context` object, use go_io_error_occurred to find out if operation was successful. The state of `wbv` and its workbook is undefined if operation fails, you should destroy them in that case.

#### Parameters

fo | GOFileOpener object |
opt_enc | Optional encoding |
io_context | Context for i/o operation |
view | GoView |
input | Gsf input stream |

### go_file_opener_probe ()

    gboolean
    go_file_opener_probe (GOFileOpener const *fo,
                          GsfInput *input,
                          GOFileProbeLevel pl);

Checks if a given file is supported by the opener.

#### Parameters

fo | GOFileOpener |
input | GsfInput |
pl | GOFileProbeLevel |

#### Returns

`TRUE`, if the opener can read given file and `FALSE` otherwise.

### go_file_opener_register ()

    void
    go_file_opener_register (GOFileOpener *fo,
                             gint priority);

Adds `fo` opener to the list of available file openers, making it available for Gnumeric i/o routines. The opener is registered with given `priority` . The priority is used to determine the order in which openers will be tried when reading a file. The higher the priority, the sooner it will be tried. Default XML-based Gnumeric file opener is registered at priority 50. Recommended range for `priority` is [0, 100]. Reference count for the opener is incremented inside the function, but you don't have to (and shouldn't) call g_object_unref on it if it's floating object (for example, when you pass object newly created with go_file_opener_new and not referenced anywhere).

#### Parameters

fo | GOFileOpener object |
priority | Opener's priority |

### go_file_opener_unregister ()

    void
    go_file_opener_unregister (GOFileOpener *fo);

Removes `fo` opener from list of available file openers. Reference count for the opener is decremented inside the function.

#### Parameters

fo | GOFileOpener object previously registered using go_file_opener_register |

## Types and Values

### GOFileOpener

    typedef struct _GOFileOpener GOFileOpener;

### GOFileOpenerClass

    typedef struct {
    	GObjectClass parent_class;

    	/* private */
    	gboolean  (*can_probe) (GOFileOpener const *fo,
    				GOFileProbeLevel pl);
    	gboolean  (*probe) (GOFileOpener const *fo,
    	                    GsfInput *input,
    	                    GOFileProbeLevel pl);
    	void      (*open)  (GOFileOpener const *fo,
    			    gchar const *opt_enc,
    	                    GOIOContext *io_context,
    	                    GoView *view,
    	                    GsfInput *input);
    } GOFileOpenerClass;

GObjectClass `parent_class`; | parent class. |
`can_probe` () | returns `TRUE` if the files can be probed. |
`probe` () | probes the file. |
`open` () | opens and reads the file. |
