Consider the following MIME definitions:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'>
<!-- The real life example would be that this mime type is a sub class of application/xml
which has a magic that matches <?xml .
XML files with an early appearing qnx tag are detected as
application/vnd.qnx.bar-descriptor. We want that XML files without the qnx tag to be
identified as application/xml, independent of the order in which the two are registered. -->
<mime-type type="application/vnd.qnx.bar-descriptor">
<sub-class-of type="application/foo"/>
<glob pattern="*.foo"/>
<magic><!-- higher priority than the parent magic -->
<match value="<qnx>" type="string" offset="0:200"/>
</magic>
</mime-type>
<mime-type type="application/foo">
<glob pattern="*.foo"/>
<magic priority="40">
<match value="<?foo" type="string" offset="0"/>
</magic>
</mime-type>
</mime-info>
and the following file something.foo
<?foo> <blah> </blah>
Both MIME types match by pattern. Magic is consulted, application/foo matches by magic. Currently, the resulting MIME type is application/vnd.qnx.bar-descriptor because that appears first in the list and is a subclass of the MIME type that matches by magic.
