  handler:
    description:
      - Sets the default handler for the specified MIME types.
      - The desktop file must be installed in the system.
        If the desktop file is not installed, the module
        does not fail, but the handler is not set either.
      - You must pass a handler in the form V(*.desktop), otherwise the module fails.

  - This module is a thin wrapper around C(xdg-mime) tool.
