# File-MimeInfo
This module can be used to determine the mime type of a file; it's a
replacement for [File::MMagic](https://metacpan.org/pod/File::MMagic)
trying to implement the freedesktop specification for using the shared
mime-info database. The package comes with a script called `mimetype`
that can be used as a `file(1)` work-alike.
Because this module uses the FreeDesktop MIME database, it's most
suited for use in perl scripts that run on a desktop OS; in fact,
this module is typically pre-installed on Debian and Ubuntu OSes
so you can use its command line script `mimeopen` to open files in
the GUI just like you can use `open` on macOS.
## INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
## DEPENDENCIES
This module expects the freedesktop mime database to be installed,
some linux distributions include it, otherwise it can obtained
from:
http://freedesktop.org/Software/shared-mime-info
This module requires these other modules which can be obtained from
the [CPAN](https://metacpan.org) if they are not already installed on
your system:
* Carp
* Exporter
* Fcntl
* Pod::Usage
* File::Basename
* File::BaseDir
* File::DesktopEntry
