#include <mime_type.h>

Overview

The MIME Type API provides functions to map MIME types to file extensions and vice versa. Conversions are provided from file extensions to MIME types and from MIME types to file extensions.
Note that some MIME types have multiple file extensions or no extension, and the MIME type is 'application/octet-stream' if the given file extension is not associated with specific file formats

Functions

int mime_type_get_mime_type (const char *file_extension, char **mime_type)
 Gets the MIME type for the given file extension.
int mime_type_get_file_extension (const char *mime_type, char ***file_extension, int *length)
 Gets the file extensions for the given MIME type.
int mime_type_get_mime_type_for_data (const void *data, size_t len, char **mime_type)
 Gets the MIME type for the given data.
int mime_type_get_mime_type_for_file (const char *file_path, char **mime_type)
 Gets the MIME type for the given file path.
