[sleuthkit-users] Autopsy Python module - read file header

[Justin G. <jus...@gm...>]

Autopsy devs--

I've got a python File Ingest Module.  Let's say I need to read the first
byte from each file to determine its header value.  What's the best way to
do this in Python/Autopsy?

I've got the following function within my module, but it doesn't work.
Jython doesn't seem to handle the callback to fill the buffer.

def process(self, abstractFile):
    buf = []
    tmp = abstractFile.read(buf, 0, 1)
