-------------------------
What is magic-haskell?
-------------------------
It is a binding to the C libmagic library. It allows you to determine
the type of a file not by looking at its name or extension, but rather
by examining the contents itself.
libmagic can provide either a textual description or a MIME content
type (and, occasionally, also a character set.)
The Haskell binding can also provide reports over Haskell strings.
-------------------------
Quick Start
-------------------------
See the file INSTALL.
-------------------------
Usage in programs
-------------------------
You can simply use -package magic in ghc to enable
this library.
The API docs can be built with "make doc", or you can find them at:
http://quux.org/devel/magic-haskell
