NAME

       xfm_mime.types - suffix based fall back mime type information

DESCRIPTION

       When  xfm(1)  cannot  determine the type of a file using the values in xfm_magic(5), this file is used to
       guess a type of a file.  The  file  shipped  with  xfm  by  default  just  tells  to  include  the  files
       ~/.mime.types and /etc/mime.types to get the system wide settings.

FORMAT

       There  is one entry per line.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash (#) are ignored.  Prior entries
       overwrite later ones.

       If a line starts with !include or include the rest of the line is treated as a filename to process before
       continuing with the rest of the file.  (If the filename starts with a tilde  followed  by  a  slash,  the
       tilde is replaced by the content of the HOME environment variable.)

       Other  lines  contain  the  name  of  a  mime  type followed by an arbitrary number of filename suffixes,
       separated by spaces or tabs.

       A file that got no other type associated by content and whose name  ends  with  a  dot  followed  by  the
       specified suffix, will be treated as type mime type.

       Xfm only recognizes suffixes with at most 7 characters.

EXAMPLES

       Otherwise unidentified files anding in .c are treated as text/x-csrc:
       text/x-csrc                                     c
       Same with .c++, cpp, cxx or cc as text/x-c++src:
       text/x-c++src                                   c++ cpp cxx cc

FILES

       $HOME/.xfm/xfm_mime.types
              Unless  xfm(1)  is told to look at a different place via X resource Xfm.mimeTypesFile, this is the
              first place xfm looks for a file with the describes format.

       /etc/X11/xfm/xfm_mime.types
              If the first file does not exists, xfm(1) (unless it  gets  told  a  different  place  via  the  X
              resource Xfm.systemwideMimeTypesFile) looks for this file.

       $HOME/.mime.types
              General user settings normaly included from /etc/X11/xfm/xfm_mime.types

       /etc/mime.types
              General system wide settings normaly included from /etc/X11/xfm/xfm_mime.types
