Description Reuben Thomas 2011-07-12 03:44:48 UTC

file -i prints a string like "text/plain; charset=utf-8", while xdg-mime is supposed to return just a MIME type, i.e. "text/plain". file --mime-type prints just the required information.

(I'm a maintainer of file, so feel free to ask for clarification of file's operation if you need it.)
