README

filetype Build Status GoDoc Go Report Card Go Version

Small and dependency free Go package to infer file and MIME type checking the magic numbers signature.

For SVG file type checking, see go-is-svg package. Python port: filetype.py.

Features

  • Supports a wide range of file types
  • Provides file extension and proper MIME type
  • File discovery by extension or MIME type
  • File discovery by class (image, video, audio...)
  • Provides a bunch of helpers and file matching shortcuts
  • Pluggable: add custom new types and matchers
  • Simple and semantic API
  • Blazing fast, even processing large files
  • Only first 262 bytes representing the max file header is required, so you can just pass a slice
  • Dependency free (just Go code, no C compilation needed)
  • Cross-platform file recognition

Installation

go get github.com/h2non/filetype

API

See Godoc reference.

Examples

Simple file type checking
package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "io/ioutil"

  "github.com/h2non/filetype"
)

func main() {
  buf, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("sample.jpg")

  kind, _ := filetype.Match(buf)
  if kind == filetype.Unknown {
    fmt.Println("Unknown file type")
    return
  }

  fmt.Printf("File type: %s. MIME: %s\n", kind.Extension, kind.MIME.Value)
}
Check type class
package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "io/ioutil"

  "github.com/h2non/filetype"
)

func main() {
  buf, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("sample.jpg")

  if filetype.IsImage(buf) {
    fmt.Println("File is an image")
  } else {
    fmt.Println("Not an image")
  }
}
Supported type
package main

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/h2non/filetype"
)

func main() {
  // Check if file is supported by extension
  if filetype.IsSupported("jpg") {
    fmt.Println("Extension supported")
  } else {
    fmt.Println("Extension not supported")
  }

  // Check if file is supported by extension
  if filetype.IsMIMESupported("image/jpeg") {
    fmt.Println("MIME type supported")
  } else {
    fmt.Println("MIME type not supported")
  }
}
File header
package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "io/ioutil"

  "github.com/h2non/filetype"
)

func main() {
  // Open a file descriptor
  file, _ := os.Open("movie.mp4")

  // We only have to pass the file header = first 261 bytes
  head := make([]byte, 261)
  file.Read(head)

  if filetype.IsImage(head) {
    fmt.Println("File is an image")
  } else {
    fmt.Println("Not an image")
  }
}
Add additional file type matchers
package main

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/h2non/filetype"
)

var fooType = filetype.NewType("foo", "foo/foo")

func fooMatcher(buf []byte) bool {
  return len(buf) > 1 && buf[0] == 0x01 && buf[1] == 0x02
}

func main() {
  // Register the new matcher and its type
  filetype.AddMatcher(fooType, fooMatcher)

  // Check if the new type is supported by extension
  if filetype.IsSupported("foo") {
    fmt.Println("New supported type: foo")
  }

  // Check if the new type is supported by MIME
  if filetype.IsMIMESupported("foo/foo") {
    fmt.Println("New supported MIME type: foo/foo")
  }

  // Try to match the file
  fooFile := []byte{0x01, 0x02}
  kind, _ := filetype.Match(fooFile)
  if kind == filetype.Unknown {
    fmt.Println("Unknown file type")
  } else {
    fmt.Printf("File type matched: %s\n", kind.Extension)
  }
}
