get_content_type {wand} | R Documentation |
Discover MIME type of a file based on contents
Description
There are a limited number of header "magic" bytes checked directly by
this function but cover quite a bit of ground. After that, guess_content_type()
is called which uses
file extension-to-MIME mappings. File an issue or PR if more magic-byte-level
comparisons are required/desired. If no match is found, ???
is returned.
Usage
get_content_type(path)
Arguments
path |
path to a file |
Details
Initial in-R header mapping logic borrowed from MimeTypes.java
from
servoy-client
Value
character vector
Examples
get_content_type(system.file("extdat", "test.pdf", package="wand"))
