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;

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);
