opine opens files in a predefined program according to its configuration file. It can serve as an xdg-open replacement.

Usage

  -t         Show mimetype of FILE
  -c CONFIG  Path to config
  -v         Show version

See opine(1) for more information.

Configuration

opine looks for a configuration file at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/opine/config or falls back to $HOME/.config/opine/config if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset.

The configuration file contains one regex=cmd mapping per line where:

• regex is a Bash regular expression matched against the FILE's mimetype.
  • If regex is preceded by @, it is matched against the filename itself.
• cmd is the command to open FILE if it matches regex.

Example configuration

@.*\.html=links
text/.*=less

The above configuration will open files with a .html extension in links and files with any text mimetype in less.
