This page contains an analysis of the data contained in the
globs files of the Shared MIME Database. The analysis data
was generated by the tool
dump-globs-by-type,
which was specifically written to analyse the requirements for
the implementation of the MIME Glob Matching.
The output below was generated by dump-globs-by-type with the
shared-mime-info-0.15 package. As you can see, the Literal
and the Complex patterns are mostly meaningless (together 18
patterns) compared to the Simple patterns (397 patterns).
