Struct MagicDb 

pub struct MagicDb { /* private fields */ }

Represents a database of MagicRule

Implementations

impl MagicDb

pub fn new() -> Self

Creates a new empty database

Returns

• MagicDb - A new empty database

pub fn load(&mut self, mf: MagicSource) -> Result<&mut Self, Error>

Loads rules from a MagicSource

Arguments

• mf - The MagicSource to load rules from

Returns

• Result<&mut Self, Error> - Self for chaining or an error

pub fn rules(&self) -> &[MagicRule]

Gets all rules in the database

Returns

• &[MagicRule] - A slice of all rules

pub fn first_magic<R: Read + Seek>( &self, r: &mut R, extension: Option<&str>, ) -> Result<Magic<'_>, Error>

Detects file Magic stopping at the first matching magic. Magic rules are evaluated from the best to the least relevant, so this method returns most of the time the best magic. For the rare cases where it doesn’t or if the best result is always required, use MagicDb::best_magic

Arguments

• r - A readable and seekable input
• extension - Optional file extension to use for acceleration

Returns

• Result<Magic<'_>, Error> - The detection result or an error

pub fn all_magics<R: Read + Seek>( &self, r: &mut R, ) -> Result<Vec<Magic<'_>>, Error>

Detects all Magic matching a given content.

Arguments

• r - A readable and seekable input

Returns

• Result<Vec<Magic<'_>>, Error> - All detection results sorted by strength or an error

pub fn best_magic<R: Read + Seek>(&self, r: &mut R) -> Result<Magic<'_>, Error>

Detects the best Magic matching a given content.

Arguments

• r - A readable and seekable input

Returns

• Result<Magic<'_>, Error> - The best detection result or an error

pub fn serialize<W: Write>(self, w: &mut W) -> Result<(), Error>

Serializes the database to a generic writer implementing io::Write

Returns

• Result<(), Error> - The serialized database or an error

pub fn deserialize<R: Read>(r: &mut R) -> Result<Self, Error>

Deserializes the database from a generic reader implementing io::Read

Arguments

• r - The reader to deserialize from

Returns

• Result<Self, Error> - The deserialized database or an error
