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
