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
