Gvfs obtains this information from the shared-mime-info database. The default handler is stored per-user, in the file $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/mimeapps.list. MIMETYPE should be a mime-type such as text/plain or application/mbox. HANDLER should be the name of an existing desktop file such as gedit.desktop. The following options are understood: -h, --help Prints a short help text and exits. --version Shows the version number and exits. --query Query the handler for MIMETYPE. --set Set the default handler for MIMETYPE to HANDLER. On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise. gvfs-open1, Shared MIME-Info specification
