MAGICFFI is a CFFI interface to libmagic(3), the file type determination library using ``magic'' numbers.
To check out the git repository, run:
$ git clone git://github.com/guicho271828/magicffi.git
MAGICFFI depends on the following lisp libraries:
- CFFI
- CL-PPCRE (used by the internal flags generator)
The following system packages are also required:
- libmagic-dev
- libc6-dev
- gcc
You have to install them on your system before loading magicffi.
> (asdf:load-system :magicffi)
> (use-package :magicffi)
> (with-open-magic (magic '(:mime-type :symlink))
(magic-file magic #P"magicffi.asd"))
"text/plain"All external symbols of the package MAGICFFI are listed in
package.lisp. Check out their docstrings for help.
You can use either constants or keyword list as magic flags. I.e.,
(magic-open (logxor +magic-mime-type+ +magic-symlink+))is equivalent to
(magic-open '(:mime-type :symlink))The constant name and keyword name of a flag are based on its C name. See the following table for the pattern:
| C name | Lisp constant | Lisp keyword |
|---|---|---|
MAGIC_NONE |
+MAGIC-NONE+ |
:NONE |
All constant names are exported.
