NAME

6       File::Type::WebImages - determine web image file types using magic
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use File::Type::WebImages 'mime_type';
10
11           my $type_1 = mime_type($file);
12           my $type_2 = mime_type($data);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       "mime_type()" can use either a filename, or file contents, to determine
16       the type of a file. The process involves looking the data at the
17       beginning of the file, sometimes called "magic numbers".
18

THE BIG TRADE OFF

20       For minimum memory consumption, only the following common web image
21       file types are supported:
22
23       BMP, GIF, JPEG and PNG.  ( image/bmp, image/gif, image/jpeg and
24       image/png ).
25
26       Unlike with File::Type and File::MMagic, 'undef', not
27       "application/octet-stream" will be returned for unknown formats.
28
29       Unlike File::Type, we return "image/png" for PNGs, not "image/x-png";
30
31       If you want more mime types detected use File::Type or some other
32       module.

TODO

35       It would be even better to have a pluggable system that would allow you
36       to plug-in different sets of MIME-types you care about.
