Struct FileIdentifier

pub struct FileIdentifier { /* private fields */ }

Configuration for file identification behavior.

Allows customizing which analysis steps to perform and their order. Use FileIdentifier::new() to create a builder and customize identification.

Implementations

impl FileIdentifier

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new file identifier with default settings.

By default, all analysis steps are enabled:

• File system metadata analysis
• Filename and extension analysis
• Shebang analysis for executable files
• Content analysis (text vs binary detection)

pub fn skip_content_analysis(self) -> Self

Skip content analysis (text vs binary detection).

This avoids reading file contents, making identification faster but potentially less accurate for files without clear extension/filename patterns.

pub fn skip_shebang_analysis(self) -> Self

Skip shebang analysis for executable files.

This avoids parsing shebang lines, making identification faster but less accurate for executable scripts without recognized extensions.

pub fn with_custom_extensions(self, extensions: HashMap<String, TagSet>) -> Self

Add custom file extension mappings.

These will be checked before the built-in extension mappings. Useful for organization-specific or project-specific file types.

pub fn identify<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P) -> Result<TagSet>

Identify a file using the configured settings.

This is equivalent to tags_from_path but with customizable behavior.
