mime.convs(5)


NAME

   mime.convs - mime type conversion file for cups

DESCRIPTION

   The  mime.convs  file  defines  the  filters  that  are  available  for
   converting files from one format  to  another.   The  standard  filters
   support text, PDF, PostScript, and many types of image files.

   Additional  filters are specified in files with the extension .convs in
   the CUPS configuration directory.

   Each line in the mime.convs file is a comment, blank, or  filter  line.
   Comment  lines  start  with  the # character.  Filter lines specify the
   source and destination MIME types along with a relative cost associated
   with the filter and the filter to run:

       source/type destination/type cost filter

   The  source/type  field  specifies  the  source MIME media type that is
   consumed by the filter.

   The destination/type field specifies the destination  MIME  media  type
   that is produced by the filter.

   The  cost  field specifies the relative cost for running the filter.  A
   value of 100 means that the filter uses a  large  amount  of  resources
   while a value of 0 means that the filter uses very few resources.

   The  filter field specifies the filter program filename.  Filenames are
   relative to the CUPS filter directory.

FILES

   /etc/cups - Typical CUPS configuration directory.
   /usr/lib/cups/filter - Typical CUPS filter directory.
   /usr/libexec/cups/filter - CUPS filter directory on macOS.
