mime 0.2.1

Mime

Shared MIME-info database specification implementation in D programming language.

Generating documentation

Ddoc:

dub build --build=docs

Ddox:

dub build --build=ddox

Examples

MimeCache

Run to detect mime type of README.md or other files using mime.cache:

dub run mime:mimecache -- README.md lib/libmime.a Makefile CMakeLists.txt test.c test.C test.cpp test.xml

Run to detect mime type of files via magic rules.

dub run mime:mimecache -- --useMagic examples/mimecache/bin/mimecache lib/libmime.a

MimeDatabase

Run to detect mime types of files.

dub run mime:mimedatabase -- README.md source .gitignore lib/libmime.a examples/mimedatabase/bin/mimedatabase /var/run/acpid.socket dub.selections.json

Automated mime path detection works only on Freedesktop platforms. On other systmes or for testing purposes it's possible to use mimepath option to set alternate path to mime/ subfolder. E.g. on Windows using KDE it will be:

dub run mime:mimedatabase -- --mimepath=C:\ProgramData\KDE\share\mime README.md source .gitignore lib/libmime.a examples/mimedatabase/bin/mimedatabase.exe /var/run/acpid.socket dub.selections.json

Features

Implemented features

• Reading mime.cache files.
• Using mime.cache files to match file names against glob patterns, match data against magic rules (not fully implemented) and resolve aliases.
• Reading various files in mime/ subfolder, e.g. globs2, magic and others.

Missing features

• Reading MIME types from mime/packages sources (requires xml library).
• Determining MIME type by XMLnamespace if document is xml (requires streaming xml library).
