Some MIME types can be intuitive - application/pdf for PDF files. However, not all MIME types are that easy to get exactly right - application/vnd.ms-excel for xls or Excel files.
The following are different ways, using the command line, to identify the MIME type of a file.
- xdg-mime
$ xdg-mime query filetype somefile.xls
application/vnd.ms-excel - file
$ file -b --mime-type somefile.xls
application/vnd.ms-excel - gvfs-info
$ gvfs-info -a standard::content-type somefile.xls
attributes:
standard::content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel
