LINTIAN::INDEX::FILETYPES(3)
โจ NAME โจ
Lintian::Index::FileTypes โ bestie, this module figures out what a file is... via magic ๐ฎโจ
Like it's literally the module from Lintian (the Debian Package Checker, hi ๐) that does the file-type detective work. No cap.
๐ธ SYNOPSIS ๐ธ
use Lintian::Index;
That's it. That's the whole vibe. One little use, and you're in ๐
๐ฆ DESCRIPTION ๐ฆ
Okay so Lintian::Index::FileTypes determines file type via magic ๐ฎ
That's the whole thing. It looks at a file and goes "oh I know what you are" โ and the way it does that is magic. Iconic, honestly.
๐ INSTANCE METHODS ๐
These are the methods you get on an instance, bestie ๐ซถ
add_file_typesโ it's giving "add the file types". This is the one that goes and does the thing. โจadjust_typeโ and this one adjusts the type. Told you it was self-explanatory, no gatekeeping here ๐
