xdg-mime-rs
===========
Xdg-mime-rs is a library that parses the [shared-mime-info][shared-mime]
database and allows querying it to determine the MIME type of a file from
its extension or from its contents.
Xdg-mime-rs is a complete re-implementation of the [xdgmime][xdgmime] C
library, with some added functionality that typically resides in higher
level components, like determining the appropriate icon name for a file
from the [icon theme][fdo-icon-theme].
[Documentation][docs].
Installation
------------
Add the following to your `Cargo.toml` file:
```toml
[dependencies]
xdg-mime = "^0.4"
```
or install [`cargo-edit`][cargo-edit] and call:
```
cargo add xdg-mime@0.4
```
