fleep

File format determination package for Go

Getting Started

fleep is a package that determines file format by file signature (also known as "magic number").

Installation

You can download the source using go get command:

go get github.com/floyernick/fleep-go

Usage

Main function GetInfo() determines file format. It takes byte sequence (>=128) as an argument and returns Info structure.

Info has the following fields:

• Type ([]string) -> list of suitable file types
• Extension ([]string) -> list of suitable file extensions
• Mime ([]string) -> list of suitable file MIME types

Also Info has the following methods:

• TypeMatches() -> checks if file type matches with given type as an argument
• ExtensionMatches() -> checks if file extension matches with given extension as an argument
• MimeMatches() -> checks if file MIME type matches with given MIME type as an argument

There is an example:

package main

import (
	"fleep"
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"
)

func main() {
	file, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("gopher.png")      // Reads PNG file
	info, _ := fleep.GetInfo(file)                // Gets file format
	fmt.Println(info.Type)                        // Prints [raster-image]
	fmt.Println(info.Extension)                   // Prints [png]
	fmt.Println(info.Mime)                        // Prints [image/png]
	fmt.Println(info.TypeMatches("raster-image")) // Prints true
	fmt.Println(info.ExtensionMatches("jpg"))     // Prints false
	fmt.Println(info.MimeMatches("image/png"))    // Prints true
}
