The MIME API provides file typing and conversion services for CUPS.
Add a filter to the current MIME database.
mime_filter_t *mimeAddFilter (
mime_t *mime,
mime_type_t *src,
mime_type_t *dst,
int cost,
const char *filter
);
New filter
Add a MIME type to a database.
mime_type_t *mimeAddType (
mime_t *mime,
const char *super,
const char *type
);
New (or existing) MIME type
Add a detection rule for a file type.
int mimeAddTypeRule (
mime_type_t *mt,
const char *rule
);
0 on success, -1 on failure
Delete (free) a MIME database.
void mimeDelete (
mime_t *mime
);
Delete a filter from the MIME database.
void mimeDeleteFilter (
mime_t *mime,
mime_filter_t *filter
);
Delete a type from the MIME database.
void mimeDeleteType (
mime_t *mime,
mime_type_t *mt
);
Determine the type of a file.
mime_type_t *mimeFileType (
mime_t *mime,
const char *pathname,
const char *filename,
int *compression
);
Type of file
Find the fastest way to convert from one type to another.
cups_array_t *mimeFilter (
mime_t *mime,
mime_type_t *src,
mime_type_t *dst,
int *cost
);
Array of filters to run
Lookup a filter...
mime_filter_t *mimeFilterLookup (
mime_t *mime,
mime_type_t *src,
mime_type_t *dst
);
Filter for src->dst
Get the first filter in the MIME database.
mime_filter_t *mimeFirstFilter (
mime_t *mime
);
Filter or NULL
Get the first type in the MIME database.
mime_type_t *mimeFirstType (
mime_t *mime
);
Type or NULL
Create a new MIME database from disk.
mime_t *mimeLoad (
const char *pathname,
const char *filterpath
);
New MIME database
This function uses mimeLoadFilters and mimeLoadTypes to
create a MIME database from a single directory.
Load filter definitions from disk.
mime_t *mimeLoadFilters (
mime_t *mime,
const char *pathname,
const char *filterpath
);
MIME database
This function loads all of the .convs files from the specified directory.
Use mimeLoadTypes to load all types before you load the filters.
Load type definitions from disk.
mime_t *mimeLoadTypes (
mime_t *mime,
const char *pathname
);
NULL to create a new oneMIME database
This function loads all of the .types files from the specified directory.
Use mimeLoadFilters to load all filters after you load the types.
Get the next filter in the MIME database.
mime_filter_t *mimeNextFilter (
mime_t *mime
);
Filter or NULL
Get the next type in the MIME database.
mime_type_t *mimeNextType (
mime_t *mime
);
Type or NULL
MIME database
int mimeNumFilters (
mime_t *mime
);
Get the number of filters in a MIME database.
MIME database
int mimeNumTypes (
mime_t *mime
);
Get the number of types in a MIME database.
Lookup a file type.
mime_type_t *mimeType (
mime_t *mime,
const char *super,
const char *type
);
