Searches for a file within another file using the MIME database.

Works similarly to the *nix command 'file', but instead of searching only the header, it advances byte by byte looking for the second file type.

This program uses the libmagic library.

Features

  • Multithreading
  • Fast and lightweight
  • Uses the same MIME database that the 'file' command
