what command do I use to get the list of the above files on my system?

looking for any "cpp" in the above files, I found

in ****************	"/etc/mime.types"
text/x-c++src					c++ cpp cxx cc

I don't have most of the files you listed above.
I also don't have any $MIMETYPES in my $env output.


$ locate mime*.src
