    /**
     * @libdoc A network-enabled file management system in a library.
     *
     * This library implements almost all the file management functions you
     * will ever need. In fact, the KDE file manager, Konqueror also uses
     * this to provide its network-enabled file management.
     *
     * The easiest way to use this library from a KDE application is via the
     * @ref KIONetAccess class (for easy synchronous access) or via the
     * @ref KIOJob class (for more complex asynchronous jobs).
     *
     * This library also implements the System Configuration Cache (KSycoca).
     *
     * @ref KMimeType :
     *   The notion of a file type, already existing in KDE-1.x
     *
     * @ref KService :
     *   To a mimetype are bound one or more applications, now called services.
     *   Services can be applications, but also libraries, dynamically opened.
     *
     * @ref KServiceType :
     *   A service type allows the same mechanism to be extended to components.
     *   For instance : the question "what are the koffice plugins" is solved by
     *   a service type called KOfficePlugin, and by every plugin providing
     *   a .desktop file stating that it is a service that implements the servicetype
     *   KOfficePlugin.
     *
     * @ref KServiceTypeProfile :
     *   Stores the user's preferences for services bound to mimetypes/servicetypes.
     *
     * @ref KTrader :
     *   Use it to query for which services implement a given mimetype/servicetype.
     *   Has its own language, in order to allow complex queries.
