<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The external extractors themselves can be written in any language, provided that it can be executed as a standalone executable (compiled or script with a hashbang), with command line arguments, and can output data to stdout.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The extractors are executed like so:</p>
<ul style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0 0 0 1em;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">
<li style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;"><code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">extractor --mimetypes</code> - outputs a list of mimetypes supported by the extractor, one per line.</li>
<li style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;"><code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">extractor filename</code> - outputs a json document with the metadata. The keys are such that they can be directly used with PropertyInfo::fromName().</li>
</ul>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">At the KFileMetaData end, an additional internal plugin (ExternalExtractor) is provided that forms a conduit between external extractors and the internal API. This plugin looks for executables called kfilemetadata_extractor_<something> in /usr/bin to find external extractors, and executes them with the --mimetypes arg to find the list of mimetypes each extractor supports. ExternalExtractor then claims to support all of these mimetypes, and then delegates to the extractor executable when doing the actual extraction.</p></pre>
