A file is in fact the URL, and its protocol is _part_ of the URL.

Konqueror will launch a KRun, which will do some investigation
(is it a file or a directory, can this protocol support listing etc.)
using the KIO::Job methods (stat, listDir, get) etc.
Which kioslave handles those methods depends on the protocol obviously,
and that's defined in the .protocol files.
What exactly are you looking for ? Your question is a bit generic.....
