  25 .SH NAME
  26 mime.types \- mime type description file for cups
  27 .SH DESCRIPTION
  28 The \fImime.types\fR file defines the recognized file types.
  29 .LP
  30 Additional file types can be added to \fImime.types\fR or
  31 (preferably) in additional files in the CUPS configuration
  32 directory with the extension ".types".
  33 .LP
  34 Each line in the \fImime.types\fR file is a comment, blank, or
  35 rule line. Comment lines start with the # character. Rule lines
  36 start with the MIME type name and are optionally followed by a
  37 series of file recognition rules that are used to automatically
  38 identify print and web files:
  39 .br
  40 .nf
  41
  42     super/type rule [ ... ruleN]
  43 .fi
  44 The rules may be grouped using parenthesis, joined using "+" for a
  45 logical AND and "," or whitespace for a logical OR, and negated using
  46 "!".
  47 .SH RULES
  48 Rules take two forms - a filename extension by itself and functions with test
  49 values inside parenthesis. The following functions are available:
  50 .TP 5
  51 match("pattern")
  52 .br
  53 Pattern match on filename
  54 .TP 5
  55 ascii(offset,length)

  58 .TP 5
  59 printable(offset,length)
  60 .br
  61 True if bytes are printable 8-bit chars (CR, NL, TAB, BS, 32-126, 128-254)
  62 .TP 5
  63 string(offset,"string")
  64 .br
  65 True if bytes are identical to string
  66 .TP 5
  67 istring(offset,"string")
  68 .br
  69 True if a case-insensitive comparison of the bytes is identical
  70 .TP 5
  71 char(offset,value)
  72 .br
  73 True if byte is identical
  74 .TP 5
  75 short(offset,value)

  77 True if 16-bit integer is identical
  78 .TP 5
  79 int(offset,value)
  80 .br
  81 True if 32-bit integer is identical
  82 .TP 5
  83 locale("string")
  84 .br
  85 True if current locale matches string
  86 .TP 5
  87 contains(offset,range,"string")
  88 .br
  89 True if the range contains the string
