void gnome_vfs_mime_shutdown (void);
gnome_vfs_mime_shutdown is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. This function doesn't have to be called as the
operating system automatically cleans up resources when exiting.
Unload the MIME database from memory.
const char* gnome_vfs_mime_type_from_name (const char *filename);
gnome_vfs_mime_type_from_name is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. This function is deprecated, use
gnome_vfs_get_mime_type_for_name instead.
Determine the mime type for filename.
Returns:
| filename: | a filename (the file does not necessarily exist). | 
| Returns : | the mime-type for this filename. Will return GNOME_VFS_MIME_TYPE_UNKNOWNif mime-type could not be found. | 
const char* gnome_vfs_mime_type_from_name_or_default
                                            (const char *filename,
                                             const char *defaultv);
This routine tries to determine the mime-type of the filename only by looking at the filename from the GNOME database of mime-types.
| filename: | a filename (the file does not necessarily exist). | 
| defaultv: | a default value to be returned if no match is found. | 
| Returns : | the mime-type of the filename.  If no value could be
determined, it will returndefaultv. | 
const char* gnome_vfs_get_mime_type_common (GnomeVFSURI *uri);
Tries to guess the mime type of the file represented by uri.
Favors using the file data to the uri extension.
Handles uri of a non-existent file by falling back
on returning a type based on the extension. If cant find the mime-type based on the 
extension also then returns 'application/octet-stream'.
FIXME: This function will not necessarily return the same mime type as doing a get file info on the text uri.
| uri: | a real file or a non-existent uri. | 
| Returns : | the mime-type for uri. | 
const char* gnome_vfs_get_mime_type_from_uri
                                            (GnomeVFSURI *uri);
Tries to guess the mime type of the file uri by
checking the file name extension. Works on non-existent
files.
| uri: | a file uri. | 
| Returns : | the mime-type for file at uri. | 
const char* gnome_vfs_get_mime_type_from_file_data
                                            (GnomeVFSURI *uri);
gnome_vfs_get_mime_type_from_file_data is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. 
Tries to guess the mime type of the file uri by
checking the file data using the magic patterns. Does not handle text files properly.
Returns:
| uri: | a file uri. | 
| Returns : | the mime-type for this filename. | 
const char* gnome_vfs_get_file_mime_type    (const char *path,
                                             const struct stat *optional_stat_info,
                                             gboolean suffix_only);
Tries to guess the mime type of the file represented by path.
If suffix_only is false, uses the mime-magic based lookup first.
Handles path of a non-existent file by falling back
on returning a type based on the extension.
If you need a faster, less accurate version, use
gnome_vfs_get_file_mime_type_fast().
| path: | path of a file whose mime type is to be found out. | 
| optional_stat_info: | optional stat buffer. | 
| suffix_only: | whether or not to do a magic-based lookup. | 
| Returns : | the mime-type for file at path. | 
gboolean gnome_vfs_mime_type_is_supertype (const char *mime_type);
| mime_type: | |
| Returns : |
