Function Documentation

LIBGIFT_EXPORT char* gi_mime_get (  GiPath *  gipath  )

Attempt to determine the MIME type of the file described by `gipath'. If this process fails, a safe fallback will be returned instead of NULL. Returns: The MIME type as determined either by the extension of the path, or through /usr/bin/file's libmagic. Fallback value is "application/octet-stream".

EXTERN_C_BEGIN LIBGIFT_EXPORT bool gi_mime_load (  const char *  mime_types, const char *  mime_magic )

Initialize the internal MIME table(s). Parameters: mime_types  Pathname describing the mime.types file which contains mappings for file extensions. mime_magic  Magic data for /usr/bin/file's libmagic. If NULL is specified, libmagic's compile-time default will be used.

LIBGIFT_EXPORT char* gi_mime_lookup (  const char *  mime  )

Access the internally managed MIME type buffer that matches the supplied MIME type. If no match is found, a new type will be added and the newly allocated buffer will be returned.
