softmagic

Overview ¶

Command softmagic is file(1) over the softmagic library: the same output, byte for byte, for -b, -i, --mime-type, --mime-encoding, --extension and --apple, the same exit codes, plus --json, which prints the library's Result so what was examined is visible.

It is a separate module from the library, which itself never prints, parses flags or touches the file system.
