Package eu.medsea.mimeutil.detector

Class OpendesktopMimeDetector

  • public class OpendesktopMimeDetector
extends MimeDetector

    The Opendesktop shared mime database contains glob rules and magic number lookup information to enable applications to detect the mime types of files.

    This class uses the mime.cache file which is one of the files created by the update-mime-database application. This file is a memory mapped file that enables the database to be updated and copied without interrupting applications.

    This implementation follows the memory mapped spec so it is not required to restart an application using this mime detector should the underlying mime.cache database change.

    For a complete description of the information contained in this file please see: http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info- spec-latest.html

    This class also follows, where possible, the RECOMENDED order of detection as detailed in this spec. Thanks go to Mathias Clasen at Red Hat for pointing me to the original xdgmime implementation http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/glib/trunk/ gio/xdgmime/xdgmimecache.c?revision=7784&view=markup
