+      duti is a command-line utility capable of setting default applications for
+      various document types on Mac OS X, using Apple's Uniform Type Identifiers. A
+      UTI is a unique string describing the format of a file's content. For instance,
+      a Microsoft Word document has a UTI of com.microsoft.word.doc. Using duti, the
+      user can change which application acts as the default handler for a given UTI.
