.IX Title "MIMEOPEN 1"
.TH MIMEOPEN 1 "2008-01-07" "perl v5.8.8" "User Contributed Perl Documentation"
.SH "NAME"
mimeopen \- Open files by mimetype
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
mimeopen [options] [\-] files
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This script tries to determine the mimetype of a file and open it with the
default desktop application. If no default application is configured the
user is prompted with an \*(L"open with\*(R" menu in the terminal.
.PP
To use this script you need the freedestop mime-info database and the
freedesktop desktop-file-utils package. See \fIFile::MimeInfo::Applications\fR\|(3)
for more details.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-ask\fR" 4
.IX Item "-a, --ask"
Do not execute the default application but ask which application to run.
This does not change the default application.
.IP "\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-ask\-default\fR" 4
.IX Item "-d, --ask-default"
Let the user choose a new default program for given files.
.IP "\fB\-\-database\fR=\fImimedir\fR:\fImimedir\fR:..." 4
.IX Item "--database=mimedir:mimedir:..."
Force the program to look in these directories for the shared mime-info
database. The directories specified by the basedir specification
are ignored.
.IP "\fB\-D\fR, \fB\-\-debug\fR" 4
.IX Item "-D, --debug"
Print debug information about how the mimetype was determined.
.IP "\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "-h, --help"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-usage\fR" 4
.IX Item "-u, --usage"
.PD
Print a help message and exits.
.IP "\fB\-L\fR, \fB\-\-dereference\fR" 4
.IX Item "-L, --dereference"
Follow symbolic links.
.IP "\fB\-M\fR, \fB\-\-magic\-only\fR" 4
.IX Item "-M, --magic-only"
Do not check for extensions, globs or inode type, only look at the content
of the file. This is particularly useful if for some reason you don't trust
the name or the extension a file has.
.IP "\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR" 4
.IX Item "-v, --version"
Print the version of the program and exit.
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
No known bugs, please mail the author if you find one.
.PP
See \fIFile::MimeInfo::Applications\fR\|(3) and \fIFile::DesktopEntry\fR\|(3)
for some limitations.
