How do I find the file MIME type?
Detecting the MIME Type for a File

- If file content sniffers do not identify the MIME type, then the application can check the filename.
How does the MIME system represent a file?

Where can I find the mime database program?
The core database and the update-mime-database program for extending it are available from the software pages. If you have added types that should go in the common freedesktop.org base list of types, you should create an enhancement request on the MIME bugtracker with your new XML file.
What’s the difference between a MIME type and a subtype?
