Automatically determine the MIME type of a file. More information: <https://manned.org/mimetype>.

  • Print the MIME type of a given file:
    mimetype path/to/file
  • Display only the MIME type, and not the filename:
    mimetype --brief path/to/file
  • Display a description of the MIME type:
    mimetype --describe path/to/file
  • Determine the MIME type of `stdin` (does not check a filename):
    command | mimetype --stdin
  • Display debug information about how the MIME type was determined:
    mimetype --debug path/to/file
  • Display all the possible MIME types of a given file in confidence order:
    mimetype --all path/to/file
  • Explicitly specify the 2-letter language code of the output:
    mimetype --language path/to/file
