| Description: | Determine file type (magic) (5.07-1) | |
Python interface to file (magic).
Identifies a file's type based on the contents then provides a
description or a mime type.
File tests each argument in an attempt to classify it. There are
three sets of tests, performed in this order: filesystem tests,
magic number tests, and language tests. The first test that
succeeds causes the file type to be printed. | ||
| Usage Hints: | ||
Here is a quick usage of the library identifying a file type:
python
import magic
magicfile = magic.open(magic.MAGIC_NONE)
magicfile.load()
filetype = magicfile.file('somefile.xml')
print filetype | ||
