mimetypes - Script for extracting the mimetypes on the current host

SYNOPSIS

mimetypes [options] [file ...] 
  Options:
    -h, --help                    print usage, then exit
        --man                     display manual (POD)
    -d, --debug                   display debug messages while executing
    -V, --version                 display version, then exit
        --skipKde                 don't scan KDE registry
        --skipGnome               don't scan GNOME registry
        --skipBlank               don't display unassociated mimetypes
        --gnomePrefix             path for location of GNOME mime info
                                  default:  /usr/share/mime-info
        --kdePrefix               path for location of KDE mime info
                                  default:  /usr/share
 
 

  Inputs:  
        None
 
 

  Outputs:  
        An Apache-formatted listing of mimetypes will be printed to
        stdout.
 
 

  Errors:
        Warnings about inaccessible directories is normal and can be

DESCRIPTION

mimetypes will scan the current machine and extract the registered mimetypes for KDE and GNOME applications, merge the information and return a sorted, formatted list of mimetypes and file extensions (if any).

OPTIONS

-h, --help
Print a brief help message and exits.
--man
Prints the manual page and exits.
-d, --debug=N
Prints various debug messages to stdout during execution. Specify the debug level as a positive integer; the higher the number the more output.
-V, --version
Displays the current version of the program and exits.
--skipKde
Suppresses scanning of the KDE mimetype registry. This causes mimetypes to only display mimetype mappings for GNOME (and whatever files provided on commandline).
--skipGnome
Suppresses scanning of the GNOME mimetype registry. This causes mimetypes to only display mimetype mappings for KDE (and whatever files provided on commandline).
--skipBlank
Suppresses display of mimetypes that have no file extensions mapped to them.
--gnomePrefix=/usr/share/mime-info
Path to where GNOME's mime information files (such as gnome.mime, gnome-vfs.mime, etc.) are located. By default, the directory /usr/share/mime-info is used.
--kdePrefix
Path to where KDE's resource files (*.desktop) can be found. By default the directory /usr/share is assumed.

PREREQUISITES

BUGS

Warnings about not having permission to cd into certain directories is normal and can safely be ignored.

The GNOME and KDE mimetype registries include some entries with regular expressions (e.g., [.|]gtkrc, [Mm]akefile, README.*, etc.) For GNOME, these regular expressions are explicitly identified and thereby ignored. For KDE, they are not pointed out, so the mimetypes program attempts to identify and exclude them. However, some patterns, that include only alphanumerics and/or the punctuation characters _.,+-~% will be allowed through, because those characters are allowable in file extensions.
