NAME
       gvfs-mime - Get or set mime handlers

SYNOPSIS
       gvfs-mime --query {MIMETYPE}

       gvfs-mime --set {MIMETYPE} {HANDLER}

DESCRIPTION
       gvfs-mime can query information about applications that are registered
       to handle a mime-type, or set the default handler for a mime-type.

       Gvfs obtains this information from the shared-mime-info database. The
       default handler is stored per-user, in the file
       $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/mimeapps.list.

       MIMETYPE should be a mime-type such as text/plain or application/mbox.
       HANDLER should be the name of an existing desktop file such as
       gedit.desktop.

       -h, --help
           Prints a short help text and exits.

       --version
           Shows the version number and exits.
