25.SH NAME
26mime.types \- mime type description file for cups
27.SH DESCRIPTION
28The \fImime.types\fR file defines the recognized file types.
29.LP
30Additional file types can be added to \fImime.types\fR or in additional
31files in the configuration directory \fB/etc/cups\fR with the extension
32".types".
33.LP
34Each line in the \fImime.types\fR file is a comment, blank, or rule
35line. Comment lines start with the # character. Rule lines start with
36the MIME type name and are optionally followed by a series of file
37recognition rules that are used to automatically identify print and web
38files:
39.br
40.nf
41
42 super/type rule [ ... ruleN]
43.fi
44The rules may be grouped using parenthesis, joined using "+" for a
45logical AND and "," or whitespace for a logical OR, and negated using
46"!".
