NAME

     mime.types - mime type description file for cups

DESCRIPTION

     The mime.types file defines the recognized file types.

     Additional file types can be added to mime.types or (prefer-
     ably)  in  additional files in the CUPS configuration direc-
     tory with the extension ".types".

     Each line in the mime.types file is  a  comment,  blank,  or
     rule  line.  Comment  lines start with the # character. Rule
     lines start with the MIME type name and are optionally  fol-
     lowed by a series of file recognition rules that are used to
     automatically identify print and web files:

         super/type rule [ ... ruleN]
     The rules may be grouped using parenthesis, joined using "+"
     for  a  logical  AND and "," or whitespace for a logical OR,
     and negated using "!".

RULES

     Rules take two forms - a filename extension  by  itself  and
     functions with test values inside parenthesis. The following
     functions are available:

     match("pattern")
          Pattern match on filename

     ascii(offset,length)
          True if bytes are valid printable ASCII (CR,  NL,  TAB,
          BS, 32-126)

     printable(offset,length)
          True if bytes are printable 8-bit chars (CR,  NL,  TAB,
          BS, 32-126, 128-254)

     string(offset,"string")
          True if bytes are identical to string

     istring(offset,"string")
          True if a case-insensitive comparison of the  bytes  is
          identical

     char(offset,value)
          True if byte is identical

     short(offset,value)
          True if 16-bit integer is identical

     int(offset,value)
          True if 32-bit integer is identical
