Lintian::Index::FileTypes โ€” bestie, this module figures out what a file is... via magic ๐Ÿ”ฎโœจ

Like it's literally the module from Lintian (the Debian Package Checker, hi ๐Ÿ‘‘) that does the file-type detective work. No cap.

use Lintian::Index;

That's it. That's the whole vibe. One little use, and you're in ๐Ÿ’…


๐Ÿฆ‹ DESCRIPTION ๐Ÿฆ‹

Okay so Lintian::Index::FileTypes determines file type via magic ๐Ÿ”ฎ

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.
