| ef416fc2 | 11 | .SH NAME |
| 87030afb | 12 | mime.convs \- mime type conversion file for cups (deprecated) |
| ef416fc2 | 13 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 27e0d6f8 MS |
14 | The \fBmime.convs\fR file defines the filters that are available for converting files from one format to another. |
| 15 | The standard filters support text, PDF, PostScript, and many types of image files. | |
| ef416fc2 | 16 | .LP |
| 27e0d6f8 | 17 | Additional filters are specified in files with the extension \fI.convs\fR in the CUPS configuration directory. |
| ef416fc2 | 18 | .LP |
| 27e0d6f8 MS |
19 | Each line in the \fBmime.convs\fR file is a comment, blank, or filter |
| 20 | line. | |
| 21 | Comment lines start with the # character. | |
| 22 | Filter lines specify the source and destination MIME types along with a relative cost associated with the filter and the filter to run: | |
| 23 | .nf | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | source/type destination/type cost filter | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | .fi | |
| 28 | The \fIsource/type\fR field specifies the source MIME media type that is consumed by the filter. | |
| 29 | .LP | |
| dd3fdd2c | 30 | The \fIdestination/type\fR field specifies the destination MIME media type that is produced by the filter. |
| 27e0d6f8 MS |
31 | .LP |
| 32 | The \fIcost\fR field specifies the relative cost for running the filter. | |
| 33 | 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. | |
| 34 | .LP | |
| 35 | The \fIfilter\fR field specifies the filter program filename. | |
| 36 | Filenames are relative to the CUPS filter directory. | |
| 37 | .SH FILES | |
