mime.types.af5

Overview

The mime.types file lists the known MIME content-types, and the filename suffixes which indicate that a given file is probably of that type.

Af uses this information to default the MIME type when sending a file. It is also used as the list of possible completions when af prompts for a MIME content-type.

Lines in the file which start with a '#' are treated as comments and ignored, as are blank lines. Each other line starts with a MIME content-type. The content-type may be followed by one or more suffixes, each separated by blank space. Each suffix indicates that a file with that suffix will default to the specified content-type.
