Creates a Content-Type object with type `type` and subtype `subtype` .

#### Parameters

type | MIME type (or `NULL` for "text") |
subtype | MIME subtype (or `NULL` for "plain") |

#### Returns

a new GMimeContentType object.

### g_mime_content_type_new_from_string ()

    GMimeContentType *
    g_mime_content_type_new_from_string (const char *str);

Constructs a new Content-Type object based on the input string.

#### Parameters

str | input string containing a content-type (and params) |

#### Returns

a new GMimeContentType object based on the input string.

### g_mime_content_type_to_string ()

    char *
    g_mime_content_type_to_string (GMimeContentType *mime_type);

Allocates a string buffer containing the type and subtype defined by the `mime_type` .

#### Parameters

mime_type | a GMimeContentType object |

#### Returns

an allocated string containing the type and subtype of the content-type in the format: type/subtype.

### g_mime_content_type_is_type ()

    gboolean

type | MIME type to compare against |
subtype | MIME subtype to compare against |

#### Returns

TRUE if the MIME types match or FALSE otherwise. You may use "*" in place of `type` and/or `subtype` as a wilcard.
