## Detailed Description

Base class of all the device interfaces.

A device interface describes what a device can do. A device generally has a set of device interfaces.

## Enumerations
Type | { Unknown, GenericInterface, Processor, Block, StorageAccess, StorageDrive, OpticalDrive, StorageVolume, OpticalDisc, Camera, PortableMediaPlayer, NetworkInterface, AcAdapter, Battery, Button, AudioInterface, DvbInterface, Video, SerialInterface, SmartCardReader, Last }
## Methods
| __init__ (self)
bool | isValid (self)
## Static Methods
Solid.DeviceInterface.Type | stringToType (QString type)
QString | typeDescription (Solid.DeviceInterface.Type type)
QString | typeToString (Solid.DeviceInterface.Type type)

## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( |  | self ) |

bool isValid | ( |  | self ) |

Indicates if this device interface is valid. A device interface is considered valid if the device it is referring is available in the system.

Returns:
  true if this device interface's device is available, false otherwise

## Static Method Documentation

Solid.DeviceInterface.Type stringToType | ( | QString | type
| ) |  |  |

Returns:
  the device interface type for the given class name

QString typeDescription | ( | Solid.DeviceInterface.Type | type
| ) |  |  |

Returns:
  a description suitable to display in the UI of the device interface type

Since:
  4.4

QString typeToString | ( | Solid.DeviceInterface.Type | type
| ) |  |  |

Returns:
  the class name of the device interface type

## Enumeration Documentation
