NAME<\/a> mime.types \u2212 mime type description file for cups<\/p>\n The mime.types<\/b> file defines the recognized file types.<\/p>\n Additional file types are specified in files with the extension .types<\/i> in the CUPS configuration directory.<\/p>\n Each line in the mime.types<\/b> file is a comment, blank, or rule line. Comment lines start with the # character. Rule lines start with the MIME media type and are optionally followed by a series of file recognition rules:<\/p>\n mime\/type<\/i> [ rule<\/i> … rule<\/i> ]<\/p>\n Rules can be extended over multiple lines using the backslash character ():<\/p>\n mime\/type<\/i> [ really-really-really-long-rule<\/i> … <\/b> MIME media types specified by the mime\/type<\/i> field are case-insensitive and are sorted in ascending alphanumeric order for the purposes of matching. See the “TYPE MATCHING AND PRIORITY” section for more information.<\/p>\n The rules may be grouped using parenthesis, joined using “+” for a logical AND, joined using “,” or whitespace for a logical OR, and negated using “!”.<\/p>\n RULES<\/b> True if the filename matches the given shell wildcard pattern<\/i>.<\/p>\n ascii(<\/b>offset<\/i>,<\/b>length<\/i>)<\/b><\/p>\n True if the length<\/i> bytes starting at offset<\/i> are valid printable ASCII (CR, NL, TAB, BS, 32-126).<\/p>\n printable(<\/b>offset<\/i>,<\/b>length<\/i>)<\/b><\/p>\n True if the length<\/i> bytes starting at offset<\/i> are printable 8-bit chars (CR, NL, TAB, BS, 32-126, 128-254).<\/p>\n priority(<\/b>number<\/i>)<\/b><\/p>\n Specifies the relative priority of this MIME media type. The default priority is 100. Larger values have higher priority while smaller values have lower priority.<\/p>\n string(<\/b>offset<\/i>,”<\/b>string<\/i>“)<\/b><\/p>\n True if the bytes starting at offset<\/i> are identical to string<\/i>.<\/p>\n istring(<\/b>offset<\/i>,”<\/b>string<\/i>“)<\/b><\/p>\n True if the bytes starting at offset<\/i> match string<\/i> without respect to case.<\/p>\n char(<\/b>offset<\/i>,<\/b>value<\/i>)<\/b><\/p>\n True if the byte at offset<\/i> is identical to value<\/i>.<\/p>\n short(<\/b>offset<\/i>,<\/b>value<\/i>)<\/b><\/p>\n True if the 16-bit big-endian integer at offset<\/i> is identical to value<\/i>.<\/p>\n int(<\/b>offset<\/i>,<\/b>value<\/i>)<\/b><\/p>\n True if the 32-bit big-endian integer at offset<\/i> is identical to value<\/i>.<\/p>\n locale(“<\/b>string<\/i>“)<\/b><\/p>\n True if current locale matches string<\/i>.<\/p>\n contains(<\/b>offset<\/i>,<\/b>range<\/i>,”<\/b>string<\/i>“)<\/b><\/p>\n True if the bytes starting at offset<\/i> for range<\/i> bytes contains string<\/i>.<\/p>\n STRING CONSTANTS<\/b> TYPE MATCHING AND PRIORITY<\/b> For example, if two types “text\/bar” and “text\/foo” are defined as matching the extension “doc”, normally the type “text\/bar” will be chosen since its name is alphanumerically smaller than “text\/foo”. However, if “text\/foo” also defines a higher priority than “text\/bar”, “text\/foo” will be chosen instead.<\/p>\n \/etc\/cups<\/i> – Typical CUPS configuration directory.<\/p>\n Define two MIME media types for raster data, with one being a subset with higher priority:<\/p>\n application\/vnd.cups\u2212raster string(0,”RaSt”) string(0,”tSaR”) image\/pwg-raster string(0,”RaS2″) +

DESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\n
rule<\/i> ]<\/p>\n
Rules take two forms – a filename extension by itself and functions with test values inside parenthesis. The following functions are available:
match(“<\/b>pattern<\/i>“)<\/b><\/p>\n
String constants can be specified inside quotes (“”) for strings containing whitespace and angle brackets (<>) for hexadecimal strings.<\/p>\n
When CUPS needs to determine the MIME media type of a given file, it checks every MIME media type defined in the .types<\/i> files. When two or more types match a given file, the type chosen will depend on the type name and priority, with higher-priority types being used over lower-priority ones. If the types have the same priority, the type names are sorted alphanumerically in ascending order and the first type is chosen.<\/p>\nFILES <\/a> <\/h2>\n
