man xfmmailcap (1): show mailcap information as parsed by xfm

SYNOPSIS

xfmmailcap --help

xfmmailcap mime-type [(default|all|edit|view) [filename]]

DESCRIPTION

xfmmailcap parses the xfm(1)'s mailcap file (see xfm_mailcap(5) for its format) and prints information about what command xfm would use when told to open a file of the given mime-type.

If there is no second argument, the default it default.

If there is a third argument, xfmmailcap will insert this filename into the action. (This is not yet implemented)

ACTIONS

all

Show all information collected about this mime-type.

default

Show the action xfm(1) would start when confronted with this action, together with all debug output xfm would show when the echoMimeSearch resource represents True. It first tries everything the edit action would show and if nothing is found there, then it tries the view action.

edit

Find the best (in the sense of highest priority) command to edit this mime type.

view

Find the best (in the sense of highest priority) command to view this mime type. (There is yet no way to trigger that from within xfm).

CAVEAT

xfmmailcap has the paths $HOME/.xfm/xfm_mailcap and /etc/X11/xfm/xfm_mailcap built in statically. This differs from xfm(1), where all of these can be changed by means of X resources.

FILES

$HOME/.xfm/xfm_mailcap: If this file exists, it is read and its content used as mailcap database. See xfm_mailcap(5) for its format.
/etc/X11/xfm/xfm_mailcap: If the previous file is not found, this one is used instead. Same format.
