NAME
     mime - mime/mailcap interface

SYNOPSIS
          #include <mime.h>

          Mime_t
          {
                    unsigned long       flags;
          };

          Mime_t*   mimeopen(unsigned long flags);
          void      mimeclose(Mime_t* mime);

          int       mimeload(Mime_t* mime, const char* path, unsigned long flags);
          int       mimelist(Mime_t* mime, Sfio_t* sp, const char* pattern);

          char*     mimeview(Mime_t* mime, const char* view, const char* name, const char* type, const char* opts);
          int       mimeset(Mime_t* mime, char* line, unsigned long flags);

DESCRIPTION
     These routines provide an interface to the MIME  type  data-
     base.  mimeopen returns a mime session handle that is passed
     to all  of  the  other  routines.   The  flags  argument  is
     currently unused.

     mimeclose closes the mime session.

     mimeload loads the mime file named by  path  into  the  mime
     session.  flags may be one of:

     MIME_LIST
          The path argument is a : separated list  of  pathnames,
          each  of  which  is  loaded.   Non-existent  files  are
          ignored MIME_LIST set.

     MIME_REPLACE
          Replace existing entries by new entries with  the  same
          type.  Otherwise original entries take precedence.

     More than one mime file can be loaded into  a  session;  the
     files  are  searched  in  load order.  If path is 0 then the
     default mime file is loaded.

     mimelist lists the mime file contents on the sfio(3)  stream
     sp.  This is used for debugging mime entries.

     mimetype returns the type string for path.  mimetype  always
     returns a non-null string.  If errors are encounterd on path
     then the return value will be error.
