NAME
mime.types - mime type description file for cupsDESCRIPTION
The mime.types file defines the recognized file types.Additional file types can be added to mime.types or in additional files in the configuration directory /etc/cups 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 followed 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
"!".

-
True if bytes are identical to string - 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 - locale("string")
