Description Ian Laurie 2006-04-19 20:02:20 UTC

Would it be possible to create a mime type for iptables files?

I have a syntax definition file for GEDIT but I need a mime type assigned.
Unfortunately, no glob is possible.  The syntax file works for iptables-save
format config files as well as shell scripts that build firewalls (the file
covers syntax that only would appear in a shell script, as well as the
iptables-save format).

Definition would look something like this (but need magic I think):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">
  <mime-type type="text/x-iptables">
    <comment xml:lang="en">iptables configuration file</comment>
  </mime-type>
</mime-info>

Any help greatly appreciated.

Do you have a couple of example files?
If there's no magic, and no glob, I'm not sure what the point of adding this
mime-type is...

Created attachment 6169 [details]
Possible x-iptables mime file

I've attached x-iptables which implements some crude magic.

It tries to recognize both types of firewall definitions,
both shell script types and iptables-save format firewalls.
