The `~/.mailcap' file is parsed by most MIME-aware message handlers and describes how elements are supposed to be displayed. Here's an example file:
image/*; gimp -8 %s audio/wav; wavplayer %s
This says that all image files should be displayed with gimp
, and
that WAVE audio files should be played by wavplayer
.
The mailcap
library parses this file, and provides functions for
matching types.
