mimetype: Determine the MIME type of `stdin` (does not check a filename).
$ ${command} | mimetype --stdin
try on your machine
This command is using the pipe (|
) symbol to redirect the output of the ${command}
to the mimetype --stdin
command.
Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:
${command}
: This refers to a variable that holds a command or a command string. The output of this command will be passed as input to the next command (mimetype --stdin
in this case).|
: This is known as the pipe operator. It takes the output of the command on the left side and passes it as input to the command on the right side.mimetype --stdin
: This is the command that receives the output of${command}
as input through the pipe. Themimetype
command is used to determine the MIME type of a file or data. The--stdin
option tells the command to read the input from the standard input rather than a file.
In summary, this command executes ${command}
and then pipes its output to the mimetype
command, allowing you to determine the MIME type of the output generated by ${command}
.
