✨ NAME ✨

handlr-get — Get handler for this mime/extension 🌸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

handlr get [--json] [-s|--selector] [-e|--enable-selector]
[-n|--disable-notifications] [-t|--force-terminal-output]
[-v|--verbose]... [-q|--quiet]... [-h|--help] <MIME>

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Get handler for this mime/extension. that's the whole vibe, honestly.

so here's the tea ☕: if multiple handlers are set and enable_selector is set to true, you will be prompted to select one using selector from ~/.config/handlr/handlr.toml. Otherwise, only the default handler will be printed. no cap, that's it.

🫶 heads up bestie: note that regex handlers are not supported by this subcommand currently. like, they're just not invited to this party rn.

When using --json, output is in the form:

{
  "cmd": "helix",
  "handler": "helix.desktop",
  "name": "Helix" }

Note that when handlr is not being directly output to a terminal, and the handler is a terminal program, the "cmd" key in the json output will include the command of the x-scheme-handler/terminal handler. lowkey iconic behavior tbh 🔥
