libsharedmime Description |
|
| |
This is my implementation for libsharedmime. It reads the Shared Mime Info database and returns you the MIME-TYPE of a file. freedesktop make this database freely available, but they dont seem to be distributing a library to read it anymore (Its no where in their CVS that I can find).
It is different to the freedesktop version in the following ways:
Licensed under LGPL instead of the GPL at aid all developers. *sigh*
Has NO dependencies. Which is an important feature in this world of tangled packages all depending on each other.
Probably not as fast?
Not as complete (yet)?
To install the package firstly you need the Shared Mime data files. Which you can get from here. Then download and unpack libsharedmime and:
make
make install |
