>&#13;In discussions about the previous systems used by GNOME, KDE and ROX (see the
"History and related systems" document), it was clear that the differences
between the databases were simply a result of them being separate, and not due
to any fundamental disagreements between developers. Everyone is keen to see
them merged.
	</P

>&#13;This specification proposes:

		<P

Further, the existing databases have been merged into a single package

>&#13;There are two important requirements for the way the MIME database is stored:
			<P

				</P

		</P
><P
>&#13;This specification uses the XDG Base Directory Specification[<SPAN
CLASS="citation"
>BaseDir</SPAN
>] to
define the prefixes below which the database is stored.
In the rest of this document, paths shown with the prefix
<TT
CLASS="filename"
>&#60;MIME&#62;</TT
> indicate the files should be loaded from
the <TT
CLASS="filename"
>mime</TT

<CODE
CLASS="envar"
>XDG_DATA_HOME</CODE
>:<CODE
CLASS="envar"

		</P

>&#13;For example, when using the default paths, <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Load all the

<TT
CLASS="filename"
>~/.local/share/mime/text/html.xml</TT

Information found in a directory is added to the information found in previous
directories, except when <KBD
CLASS="userinput"
>glob-deleteall</KBD

>magic-deleteall</KBD

is used to overwrite parts of a mimetype definition.
		</P
><P
>&#13;Each application that wishes to contribute to the MIME database will install a
single XML file, named after the application, into one of the three
<TT
CLASS="filename"
>&#60;MIME&#62;/packages/</TT

the application be installed). After installing, uninstalling or modifying this
file, the application MUST run the <B

lower in the list takes precedence.
Any file named <TT

The format of these generated files and the source files in <TT

are explained in the following sections. This step serves several purposes. First, it allows
applications to quickly get the data they need without parsing all the source XML files (the
base package alone is over 700K). Second, it allows the database to be used for other
purposes (such as creating the <TT
CLASS="filename"
>/etc/mime.types</TT
> file if
desired). Third, it allows validation to be performed on the input data,
and removes the need for other applications to carefully check the input for
errors themselves.

not being used by either desktop, and glob patterns are more suitable for
filename matching anyway.

application for a particular desktop

>&#13;The globs2 file is a simple list of lines containing weight, MIME type and pattern, separated by a colon.
The lines are ordered by glob weight.

>&#13;# This file was automatically generated by the
# update-mime-database command. DO NOT EDIT!

>&#13;The glob file is a simple list of lines containing a MIME type and pattern, separated by a colon. It is
deprecated in favour of the globs2 file which also lists the weight of the glob rule.		
The lines are ordered by glob weight.
For example:
			<PRE
CLASS="programlisting"
>&#13;# This file was automatically generated by the
# update-mime-database command. DO NOT EDIT!
...
text/x-diff:*.patch
text/x-diff:*.diff
...
</PRE
>
		</P
><P
>&#13;Applications MUST match globs case-insensitively, except when the case-sensitive attribute
is set to true.
This is so that e.g. <TT
CLASS="filename"
>main.C</TT
> will be seen as a C++ file,
but <TT
CLASS="filename"
>IMAGE.GIF</TT
> will still use the *.gif pattern.
		</P
><P
>&#13;If several patterns of the same weight match then the longest pattern SHOULD be used.
In particular, files with multiple extensions (such as
<TT
CLASS="filename"
>Data.tar.gz</TT
>) MUST match the longest sequence of extensions
(eg '*.tar.gz' in preference to '*.gz'). Literal patterns (eg, 'Makefile') must
be matched before all others. It is suggested that patterns beginning with `*.'
and containing no other special characters (`*?[') should be placed in a hash
table for efficient lookup, since this covers the majority of the patterns. Thus,
patterns of this form should be matched before other wildcarded patterns.
		</P
><P
>&#13;If a matching pattern is provided by two or more MIME types, applications
SHOULD not rely on one of them. They are instead supposed to use magic data
(see below) to detect the actual MIME type. This is for instance required to
deal with container formats like Ogg or AVI, that map various video and/or
audio-encoded data to one extension.
		</P
><P
>&#13;There may be several rules mapping to the same type. They should all be merged.
If the same pattern is defined twice, then they MUST be ordered by the
directory the rule came from, as described above.
		</P
><P
>&#13;The <KBD
CLASS="userinput"
>glob-deleteall</KBD
> element, which means that implementations
SHOULD discard information from previous directories, is written out into the globs2 file using
__NOGLOBS__ as the pattern. For instance:
			<PRE
CLASS="programlisting"
>&#13;0:text/x-diff:__NOGLOBS__
50:text/x-diff:*.diff
...
</PRE
>
		</P
><P
>&#13;In the above example, the mimetype text/x-diff is redefined (for instance in a user's
~/.local/share/mime) to only be associated with the pattern *.diff, so the other patterns
like *.patch were removed. The weight in front of the __NOGLOBS__ line is ignored.
In a given globs2 file, the __NOGLOBS__ line for a given mimetype is always written
out before any other globs for this mimetype.
		</P
><P
>&#13;Lines beginning with `#' are comments and should be ignored. Everything from
the `:' character to the newline is part of the pattern; spaces should not be
stripped. The file is in the UTF-8 encoding. The format of the glob pattern
is as for fnmatch(3). The format does not allow a pattern to contain a literal
newline character, but this is not expected to be a problem.
		</P
><P
>&#13;Common types (such as MS Word Documents) will be provided in the X Desktop
Group's package, which MUST be required by all applications using this
specification. Since each application will then only be providing information
about its own types, conflicts should be rare.
		</P
><P
>&#13;The fourth field ("cs" in the first globs2 example) contains a list of comma-separated flags.
The flags currently defined are: cs (for case-sensitive). Implementations should ignore
unknown flags.
		</P
><P
>&#13;Implementations should also ignore further fields, so that the syntax of the globs2 file
can be extended in the future. Example: "50:text/x-c++src:*.C:cs,newflag:newfeature:somethingelse"
should currently be parsed as "50:text/x-c++src:*.C:cs".

contents of the file and do magic sniffing on it. If no magic rule matches the data (or if

binary data, or text/plain for textual data. If there was no glob match, use the magic match

a good way to guess whether a file is binary or text, but note that files with high-bit-set

magic match for the MS-Word file would be application/x-ole-storage which the MS-Word type

First of all doing magic sniffing is very expensive as reading the contents of the files
causes a lot of seeks, which is very expensive. Secondly, some applications don't check
the magic at all (sometimes the content is not available or too slow to read), and this
makes it more likely that both will get the same type.

the user can often rename the file to fix the problem.

actions for these directories, such as 'mount' or 'eject'. Mounted directories can be
detected by comparing the 'st_dev' of a directory with that of its parent. If
they differ, they are from different devices and the directory is a mount
point.

>2.14. Content types for volumes</A
></H2
><P
>&#13;Traditional MIME types apply to individual files or bytestreams. It is often useful 
to apply the same methodologies when classifying the content of mountable volumes or 
filesystems. The x-content type has been introduced for this purpose. Typical examples 
are x-content/audio-dvd, x-content/blank-cd or x-content/image-dcf. 
		</P
><P
>&#13;Matching of content types works with <KBD
CLASS="userinput"
>treemagic</KBD
> elements, which 
are analogous to the <KBD
CLASS="userinput"
>magic</KBD
> elements used for MIME type matching.
Instead of looking for byte sequences in files, <KBD
CLASS="userinput"
>treemagic</KBD
> elements
allow to look for files with certain names, permissions or mime types in a directory
hierarchy.

>2.15. URI scheme handlers</A
></H2
><P
>&#13;URI scheme handling (such as a movie player handling mms:// URIs, or a Podcast program 
handling feed:// URIs) are handled through applications handling the x-scheme-handler/foo
mime-type, where foo is the URI scheme in question.
		</P
><P
>&#13;This scheme allows URI scheme handling to enjoy the same benefits as mime-type handlers,
such as the ability to change the default handler, the cross-desktop support, and
easier application launching.
		</P
><P
>&#13;Note that this virtual mime-type is not for listing URI schemes that an application 
can load files from. For example, a movie player would not list x-scheme-handler/http 
in its supported mime-types, but it would list x-scheme-handler/rtsp if it supported 
playing back from RTSP locations.

>2.16. Security implications</A
></H2
><P
>&#13;The system described in this document is intended to allow different programs
to see the same file as having the same type. This is to help interoperability.
The type determined in this way is only a guess, and an application MUST NOT
trust a file based simply on its MIME type. For example, a downloader should
not pass a file directly to a launcher application without confirmation simply
because the type looks `harmless' (eg, text/plain).
		</P
><P
>&#13;Do not rely on two applications getting the same type for the same file, even
if they both use this system. The spec allows some leeway in implementation,
and in any case the programs may be following different versions of the spec.
