πŸ’… PUREMAGIC(1) β€” the manual page, but make it a group chat

User Commands ✨ ok bestie, sit down, we're learning puremagic version 2.2.0 and honestly? it's giving main character energy πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

puremagic β€” no cap, this is the manual page for puremagic 2.2.0 πŸ¦‹


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so first things first, here's how you even call this thing:

usage: puremagic [-h] [-m] [-v] [-e EXTENSION] [--version] [files ...]

puremagic is a pure python file identification module πŸ’– Like, it's literally all python, no weird binary dependencies, we love that for it. What it does is it goes looking for matching magic numbers inside the file so it can figure out what type of file you're holding. it's giving detective πŸ” but make it pythonic.


πŸŽ€ positional arguments: πŸŽ€

  • files β€” the file(s) you want it to sniff at. hand 'em over, bestie 🫢

πŸ’… options: πŸ’…

  • -h, --help β€” shows this help message and then dips. exit stage left πŸšͺ✨
  • -m, --mime β€” returns the mime type instead of the file type. so like, the whole vibe instead of the label, iykyk 🧚
  • -v, --verbose β€” prints verbose output. it's gonna talk to you, and we're listening πŸ‘‘
  • -e, --extension EXTENSION β€” looks up the MIME type for a file extension, e.g. pdf or .pdf. yes with or without the dot, she's flexible like that πŸ’…
  • --version β€” shows the program's version number and exits. short, sweet, iconic 🌈

ngl there's nothing dangerous or deprecated hiding in here, it's just a chill little identification tool. still, always read your options before you send it, bestie πŸ’€
