However, it actually returns MIME type with MIME encoding: $ xdg-mime query filetype <filename> > text/x-python; charset=utf-8 After the man page, it should return something like `file --mime- type`: $ file -b --mime-type <filename> > text/x-python But instead, it returns something like `file --mime`: $ file -b --mime <filename> > text/x-python; charset=utf-8 Either the man page is wrong or `wdg-mime` is wrong.
