# Shared MIME Info
The shared-mime-info package contains:
- The core database of common MIME types, their file extensions and icon names.
- The update-mime-database command, used to extend the DB and install a new MIME data.
- The freedesktop.org shared MIME database spec.
It is used by GLib, GNOME, KDE, XFCE and many others.
For more information about the database see the [Shared MIME Info Specification here](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/shared-mime-info-spec/).
## Installation
To install do:
```sh
$ meson _build -Dprefix=/usr
$ ninja -v -C _build install
```
It requires the glib development package to be installed as well as
gettext.
This database is translated at Transifex.
