Functions

findmatch

findmatch(caps, MIMEtype, key='view', filename='/dev/null', plist=[])

  Find a match for a mailcap entry.

      Return a tuple containing the command line, and the mailcap entry
      used; (None, None) if no match is found.  This may invoke the
      'test' command of several matching entries before deciding which
      entry to use.

findparam

findparam(name, plist)

getcaps

getcaps()

  Return a dictionary containing the mailcap database.

      The dictionary maps a MIME type (in all lowercase, e.g. 'text/plain')
      to a list of dictionaries corresponding to mailcap entries.  The list
      collects all the entries for that MIME type from all available mailcap
      files.  Each dictionary contains key-value pairs for that MIME type,
      where the viewing command is stored with the key "view".

lineno_sort_key

lineno_sort_key(entry)

listmailcapfiles

listmailcapfiles()

  Return a list of all mailcap files found on the system.

lookup

lookup(caps, MIMEtype, key=None)

parsefield

parsefield(line, i, n)

  Separate one key-value pair in a mailcap entry.

parseline

parseline(line)

  Parse one entry in a mailcap file and return a dictionary.

      The viewing command is stored as the value with the key "view",
      and the rest of the fields produce key-value pairs in the dict.

readmailcapfile

readmailcapfile(fp)

  Read a mailcap file and return a dictionary keyed by MIME type.

show

show(caps)

subst

subst(field, MIMEtype, filename, plist=[])

test
