Info::Magic(3pm)

okay so bestie, welcome to Info::Magic(3pm) — the manual page that's about to make video filetype detective work feel like a group chat. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Video::Info::Magic — Resolve video filetype if possible. fr fr, that's the whole name line. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the vibe in code form, and yes you can copy-paste this exactly:

         use strict;
         use Video::Info::Magic qw(:all);

         my $type = divine('/path/to/video.mpg' );

         print $type; #MPEG system stream data (maybe)

         ## ... see methods below

🫶 EXPORT 🫶

okay so the exports are giving useful constants related to video file formats. every single one is prefixed with "VIDEO_" — yes, with the quotes around it in the docs, so keep that energy. 💖

• divine() — Employs /usr/share/magic entries to determine a file's type, as well as GUID and other info from Microsoft, mplayer, transcode... 🔥
