Mime types under Linux
$> man xdg-mime xdg-mime - command line tool for querying information about file type handling and adding descriptions for new file types [...]

$> xdg-open special_file.pdf
Setting the default type is easy:
xdg-mime default
$> xdg-mime query default application/pdf AdobeReader.desktop $> xdg-mime default kde-kpdf.desktop application/pdf $> xdg-mime query default application/pdf kde-kpdf.desktop
