+ Ask the desktop environment to make <replaceable>application</replaceable> |

+ <replaceable>application</replaceable> is the desktop file |

+ </simpara> |
+ <simpara> |
+ Requests to make an application a default handler may be |

+ Normally, xdg-mime checks to ensure that the |

+ has a proper vendor prefix. This option can be |
+ used to disable that check. |
+ </simpara> |
+ <simpara> |
+ A vendor prefix consists of alpha characters ([a-zA-Z]) and is |
+ terminated with a dash ("-"). |
+ Companies and organizations are encouraged to use a word |
+ or phrase, preferably the organizations name, for which they hold |
+ a trademark as their vendor prefix. |
+ The purpose of the vendor prefix is to prevent name conflicts. |
