NAME

       gvfs-mime - Get or set mime handlers

SYNOPSIS

       gvfs-mime --query {MIMETYPE}

       gvfs-mime --set {MIMETYPE} {HANDER}

DESCRIPTION

       gvfs-mime can query information about applications that are registered to handle a
       mime-type, or set the default handler for a mime-type.

       Gvfs obtains this information from the shared-mime-info database. The default handler is
       stored per-user, in the file $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/mimeapps.list.

       MIMETYPE should be a mime-type such as text/plain or application/mbox. HANDLER should be
       the name of an existing desktop file such as gedit.desktop.

       -h, --help
           Prints a short help text and exits.

       --query
           Query the handler for MIMETYPE.

       --set
           Set the default handler for MIMETYPE to HANDLER.

EXIT STATUS

       On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
