NAME
       mime.convs - mime type conversion file for cups


DESCRIPTION
       The  mime.convs  file  defines  the  filters  that  are available for converting files from one format to
       another.  The standard filters support text, PDF, PostScript, and many types of image files.

       Additional filters are specified in files with the extension .convs in the CUPS configuration directory.

       Each line in the mime.convs file is a comment, blank, or filter line.  Comment lines  start  with  the  #
       character.   Filter  lines  specify  the  source  and  destination  MIME types along with a relative cost
       associated with the filter and the filter to run:

           source/type destination/type cost filter

       The source/type field specifies the source MIME media type that is consumed by the filter.

       The destination/type field specifies the destination MIME media type that is produced by the filter.

       The cost field specifies the relative cost for running the filter.  A value of 100 means that the  filter
       uses a large amount of resources while a value of 0 means that the filter uses very few resources.

       The  filter  field  specifies  the  filter  program  filename.  Filenames are relative to the CUPS filter
       directory.
