:yum: Unix file command written in Go

@joeky888 needs file command on Windows, so he made one.

Features

• Pure Go, static binary without libmagic
• Lightweight, The only dependency is os
• Cross-platform: No unix specific code like mmap

Install binary

Download from https://github.com/joeky888/fil/releases

Install from source

go get -u github.com/joeky888/fil

Usage

Just like unix file command

$ fil <FILE_NAME>

MIT Licence

The code is based on toybox (but it is written in C, and only runs on unix-like OS)

TODO

1. Port more code from toybox/file.c
2. Port more code from filetype/matchers
3. More magic
