 API

There are two major features provided by this package: determining
content types, and parsing text representations of content types into
structured data.

.. currentmodule:: zope.contenttype

.. note:: When this module is imported, it uses :func:`add_files` to
   extend the standard :mod:`mimetypes` database with a set of common
   office and multimedia types and filename extensions.

.. tip:: When used as the main module (e.g., ``python -m
		 zope.contenttype``) this module will print out the
		 :mod:`mimetypes` database.
