Function data_format 

Source
pub fn data_format(path: &Path) -> Option<FileFormat>
Expand description

The format a file’s name says it holds, compression suffix walked past.

The question every listing actually asks. Named extensions are not formats: .ipc, .arrow, .arrows and .feather are one format under four names, and a directory holding two of them is one kind of thing. Asking crate::FileFormat rather than a list of its own is what keeps the home screen from offering a file the reader has no route for, which is how .txt came to be listed and refused and .psv readable and invisible.
