MagicNumberType infers mime types from leading bits

Gem Version Build Status Code Climate

Introduction

Magic numbers are the first bits of a file or data stream which uniquely identify the type of file or data stream.

For example when the first bits are "BM", this identifies the file as a bitmap image file.

Details

This gem infers based on widespread programming conventions for data file formats.

These magic numbers are by convention and we are using this guide: http://www.astro.keele.ac.uk/oldusers/rno/Computing/File_magic.html

Typical uses of magic numbers:

  • to quickly identify a file's data type
  • to check if data matches the file's MIME type or extension
  • to check if a web form file upload matches its HTTP content type

Compare:

  • MIME::Types ruby library
  • Unix magic() command for testing files on disk
  • http://shared-mime.rubyforge.org/
