13 | The <b>mime.convs</b> file defines the filters that are available for converting files from one format to another. |
| 14 | The standard filters support text, PDF, PostScript, and many types of image files. | |
| 15 | <p>Additional filters are specified in files with the extension <i>.convs</i> in the CUPS configuration directory. | |
| 16 | <p>Each line in the <b>mime.convs</b> file is a comment, blank, or filter | |
| 17 | line. | |
| 18 | Comment lines start with the # character. | |
| 19 | Filter lines specify the source and destination MIME types along with a relative cost associated with the filter and the filter to run: | |
| 20 | <pre class="man"> | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | source/type destination/type cost filter | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | </pre> | |
| 25 | The <i>source/type</i> field specifies the source MIME media type that is consumed by the filter. | |
| dd3fdd2c | 26 | <p>The <i>destination/type</i> field specifies the destination MIME media type that is produced by the filter. |
| 27e0d6f8 MS |
27 | <p>The <i>cost</i> field specifies the relative cost for running the filter. |
| 28 | 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. | |
| 29 | <p>The <i>filter</i> field specifies the filter program filename. | |
| 30 | Filenames are relative to the CUPS filter directory. | |
