mime.convs(5) Apple Inc. mime.convs(5)
mime.convs - mime type conversion file for cups (deprecated)
The mime.convs file defines the filters that are available for
converting files from one format to another. The standard
filters support text, PDF, PostScript, and many types of image
files.
Additional filters are specified in files with the extension
.convs in the CUPS configuration directory.
Each line in the mime.convs file is a comment, blank, or filter
line. Comment lines start with the # character. Filter lines
specify the source and destination MIME types along with a
relative cost associated with the filter and the filter to run:
source/type destination/type cost filter
The source/type field specifies the source MIME media type that
is consumed by the filter.
The destination/type field specifies the destination MIME media
type that is produced by the filter.
The cost field specifies the relative cost for running the
filter. A value of 100 means that the filter uses a large amount
of resources while a value of 0 means that the filter uses very
few resources.
The filter field specifies the filter program filename.
Filenames are relative to the CUPS filter directory.
/etc/cups - Typical CUPS configuration directory.
/usr/lib/cups/filter - Typical CUPS filter directory.
/usr/libexec/cups/filter - CUPS filter directory on macOS.
Define a filter that converts PostScript documents to CUPS Raster
format:
application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 50 pstoraster
CUPS filters are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a
future feature release of CUPS. Printers that do not support IPP
can be supported using applications such as ippeveprinter(1).
