## How to use

1. Merge the following part definition to your Snapcraft recipe:

    ```yaml

    parts:

      # Launcher for fixing libmagic applications

      # https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/the-magic-launch-launcher-fix-file-type-detection-based-on-libmagic-in-the-snap-runtime/10442

      magic-launch:

        source: https://gitlab.com/brlin/magic-launch.git

        source-tag: v2.0.3

        plugin: dump

        stage:

          - bin/*

    ```

1. In the `apps` stanza, insert `bin/magic-launch` into the command chain:

   ```yaml

   apps:

     _app_name_:

       # The command to run the application, the value should be a

       # *relative path* to an executable file rooted from the `prime` directory

       command: bin/magic-launch "${SNAP}"/bin/_app_command_

   ```

   if you're using the `full` adapter:

   ```yaml

   apps:

     _app_name_:

       # The environment adapter style to use, `command-chain` is only supported

       # by the `full` adapter

       adapter: full

       # The command to run the application, the value should be a

       # *relative path* to an executable file rooted from the `prime` directory

       command: bin/_app_command_

       command-chain:

         - bin/magic-launch

   ```
