	\brief Updates the MIME information (i.e MIME type) for one or more files.

	If \a path points to a file, the MIME information for this file are
	updated only. If it points to a directory and \a recursive is non-null,
	the information for all the files in the given directory tree are updated.
	If path is \c NULL all files are considered; \a recursive is ignored in
	this case.

	\param synchronous If not \c NULL update_mime_info() waits until the
		operation is finished, otherwise it returns immediately and the
		update is done asynchronously.
