FaviconDatabase

Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "webkit_favicon_database_get_type ()" ) ]
public class FaviconDatabase : Object

Provides access to the icons associated with web sites.

WebKit will automatically look for available icons in <link> elements on opened pages as well as an existing favicon.ico and load the images found into a memory cache if possible. That cache is frozen to an on-disk database for persistence.

If enable_private_browsing is true, new icons won't be added to the on-disk database and no existing icons will be deleted from it. Nevertheless, WebKit will still store them in the in-memory cache during the current execution.
