XINE(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, gather round β€” this is xine-list-1.2, and it lives in the General Commands Manual, section 1. What does it do? It gets you the supported filetype info from xine-lib. That's the whole vibe. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xine-list-1.2 [options...]

that's it. that's the whole thing. options optional, chaos optional, slay mandatory. ✨


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So xine-list-1.2 is this lil tool that lists all the MIME type and filename extension info that your installed xine-lib knows about and supports. Like, it goes and asks your library "hey girl what do you play" and the library tells her. 🫢

And why do you care? Because it's genuinely useful for filling in MIME information in front ends' desktop files. That's the actual use case, no cap. If you're building or configuring a front end and you need to know what formats xine-lib handles, this is your girl. πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

xine-list-1.2 accepts the following options:

  • -m, --mime-types β€” lists the MIME types that xine-lib knows about. And plot twist: this is the default action, so if you just run it with nothing, this is what you get. main character default energy fr fr. πŸ’–
  • -e, --extensions β€” lists the file types, aka the filename extensions, that xine-lib knows about. like .mp4, that kinda thing. the lil suffixes. the vibes. πŸ¦‹
  • -a, --all β€” lists the MIME types that xine-lib knows about, along with their filename extensions and descriptions. it's giving full meal. it's giving the whole buffet. no crumbs left. πŸ”₯
  • -p, --pretty-print β€” adds line feeds</bre>; prints each item on a line of its own. so instead of one cursed wall of text you get a nice lil list you can actually read. aesthetic. 🌸
heads up bestie: -p only changes the formatting, it doesn't pick what gets listed. pair it with whatever else you want. πŸ’€
