----------------------------------------------------------------------
To get started you use the SimpleMagic package like the following:
// create a magic utility using the internal magic file
ContentInfoUtil util = new ContentInfoUtil();
// if you want to use a different config file(s), you can load them by hand:
// ContentInfoUtil util = new ContentInfoUtil("/etc/magic");
...
ContentInfo info = util.findMatch("/tmp/upload.tmp");
// or
ContentInfo info = util.findMatch(inputStream);
// or
ContentInfo info = util.findMatch(contentByteArray);
Once you have the ContentDetails it provides:
* Enumerated type if the type is common
* Approximate content-name
* Full message produced by the magic file
* Mime-type string if one configured by the config file
For example:
HTML, mime 'text/html', msg 'HTML document text'
Java, msg 'Java serialization data, version 5'
PDF, mime 'application/pdf', msg 'PDF document, version 1.4'
gzip, mime 'application/x-gzip', msg 'gzip compressed data, was "", from Unix...'
GIF, mime 'image/gif', msg 'GIF image data, version 89a, 16 x 16'
PNG, mime 'image/png', msg 'PNG image, 600 x 371, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced'
ISO, mime 'audio/mp4', msg 'ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, iTunes AAC-LC'
Microsoft, mime 'application/msword', msg 'Microsoft Word Document'
RIFF, mime 'audio/x-wav', msg 'RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft...'
JPEG, mime 'image/jpeg', msg 'JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01'
