+.TH curl_mime_type 3 "22 August 2017" "libcurl 7.56.0" "libcurl Manual"
+.SH NAME
+curl_mime_type - set a mime part's content type
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <curl/curl.h>
+.sp
+.BI "CURLcode curl_mime_type(curl_mimepart * " part ,
+.BI "const char * " mimetype ");"
+.ad
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+curl_mime_type() sets a mime part's content type.
+
+\fIpart\fP is the part's handle to assign the content type to.
+\fImimetype\fP points to the nul-terminated file mime type string; it may be
+set to NULL to remove a previously attached mime type.
+
+The mime type string is copied into the part, thus the associated
+storage may safely be released or reused after call. Setting a part's type
+twice is valid: only the value set by the last call is retained.
+
+In the absence of a mime type and if needed by the protocol specifications,
+a default mime type is determined by the context:
+.br
+- If set as a custom header, use this value.
+.br
+- application/form-data for a HTTP form post.
+.br
+- If a remote file name is set, the mime type is taken from the file name
+extension, or application/octet-stream by default.
+.br
+- For a multipart part, multipart/mixed.
+.br
+- text/plain in other cases.
+
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+CURLE_OK or a CURL error code upon failure.
