File format determination package for Go

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

You can download the source using go get command:

go get github.com/floyernick/fleep-go

Main function GetInfo determines file format. It takes file as a byte sequence and returns info about file.

Info has the following fields:

• Type -> list of suitable file types
• Extension -> list of suitable file extensions
• Mime -> 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 (error handling omitted):

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(fleep.RasterImage) // Prints true
	fmt.Println(info.ExtensionMatches("jpg"))       // Prints false
	fmt.Println(info.MimeMatches("image/png"))      // Prints true
}
