  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 in additional
  31 files in the configuration directory \fB/etc/cups\fR with the extension
  32 ".types".
  33 .LP
  34 Each line in the \fImime.types\fR file is a comment, blank, or rule
  35 line. Comment lines start with the # character. Rule lines start with
  36 the MIME type name and are optionally followed by a series of file
  37 recognition rules that are used to automatically identify print and web
  38 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:

  62 .TP 5
  63 string(offset,"string")
  64 .br
  65 True if bytes are identical to string
