  - getType
```
int getType(IStorage storage)
```
    Get the content type for a given instance of IStorage. User-defined mappings take precedence over plugin-contributed mappings; further, mappings for the entire file name take precedence over mappings for the file extension only.
    
    Parameters:
    
    storage - the instance of IStorage.
    
    Returns:
    
    one of Team.UNKNOWN, Team.TEXT or Team.BINARY.
    
    Since:
    
    3.1
  - isKnownFilename
```
boolean isKnownFilename(java.lang.String filename)
```
    Check whether the given file name is assigned to a specific type in the content type registry.
    
    Parameters:
    
    filename - the file name to check for
    
    Returns:
    
    True if the file name is registered in the system and assigned to a content type, false if the file name is unknown.
    
    Since:
    
    3.1
  - isKnownExtension
```
boolean isKnownExtension(java.lang.String extension)
```
    Check whether the given file extension is assigned to a specific type in the content type registry.
    
    Parameters:
    
    extension - the extension to check for
    
    Returns:
    
    True if the extension is registered in the system and assigned to a content type, false if the extension is unknown.
    
    Since:
    
    3.1
  - getTypeForName
```
int getTypeForName(java.lang.String filename)
```
    Get the content type for a given file name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    filename - The file name
    
    Returns:
    
    one of Team.UNKNOWN, Team.TEXT or Team.BINARY.
    
    Since:
    
    3.1
  - getTypeForExtension
```
int getTypeForExtension(java.lang.String extension)
```
    Get the content type for a given file extension.
    
    Parameters:
    
    extension - The extension
    
    Returns:
    
    one of Team.UNKNOWN, Team.TEXT or Team.BINARY.
    
    Since:
    
    3.1
  - addNameMappings
```
void addNameMappings(java.lang.String[] names,
                     int[] types)
```
    Map a set of file names to a set of content types and save the mappings in the preferences. Already existing mappings for these file names are updated with the new ones, other mappings will be preserved.
    
    Parameters:
    
    names - The file names
    
    types - The corresponding types, each one being one of Team.UNKNOWN,Team.TEXT or Team.BINARY.

  - addExtensionMappings
```
void addExtensionMappings(java.lang.String[] extensions,
                          int[] types)
```
    Map a set of file extensions to a set of content types and save the mapping in the preferences. Already existing mappings for these extensions are updated with the new ones, other mappings will be preserved.
    
    Parameters:
    
    extensions - The extensions
    
    types - The corresponding types, each one being one of Team.UNKNOWN,Team.TEXT or Team.BINARY.

```
void setNameMappings(java.lang.String[] names,
                     int[] types)
```
    Map a set of file names to a set of content types and save the mappings in the preferences. All existing user-defined mappings for any file names are deleted and replaced by the new ones.
    
    Parameters:
    
    names - The file names
    
    types - The corresponding types, each one being one of Team.UNKNOWN,Team.TEXT or Team.BINARY.
