# ftdetect

ftdetect is a library for detecting the filetype of source code files (what

programming language the file is written in). It primarily uses the file

extension and file name to determine the filetype, but also may use the first

line of the file (the header) for additional information (for example,

`#!/bin/bash` on the first line is a good indication of a shell file, even if

there is no extension).

The library is optimized for very fast detection in the common case and

supports saving the detection data structure to a file for very fast

loading/startup time.

A default set of detectors for 135 different languages is provided. If you

would like to do the embedding yourself you can specify the `ftdetect_custom`

build tag to avoid embedding the default detectors.

The `./cmd/detect` directory contains an example tool which uses the default

detectors to perform file detection on the first argument to the CLI

application.
