Chapter 5. MIME Types
This chapter describes how applications detect MIME types, how to
register MIME types, and how to add applications to the GNOME
Desktop.
The purpose of this chapter is to make it easy for an administrator to
understand how to configure different parts of the MIME database and give an
general overview of the MIME system. Therefore we will
not attempt to go into details where it is not
necessary. For the gory details, it is recommended that you refer to the
XDG
shared mime info specification.
