\subsection mimedb-description Description
2014-08-19 12:41:23 +00:00
`mimedb` queries the MIME type database and the `.desktop` files installed on the system in order to find information on the files listed in `FILES`. The information that `mimedb` can retrieve includes the MIME type for a file, a description of the type, and the default action that can be performed on the file. `mimedb` can also be used to launch the default action for this file.
