Crate filemagic

This crate provides bindings for libmagic, which recognizes the type of data contained in a file (or buffer).

You should be already familiar with libmagic's CLI command file:

$ file rust-logo-128x128-blk.png
rust-logo-128x128-blk.png: PNG image data, 128 x 128, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced

Usage example

Here's an example of using this crate:

use filemagic::Magic;

fn main() {
   let test_file = "path/to/file";
   let cookie = Magic::open(Default::default()).expect("error");
    cookie.load::<String>(&[]).expect("error");
    let magic = cookie.file(&test_file).expect("error in magic");
    println!("magic= {}", magic);
}
