Create a new Cargo project (or edit your existing one):
$ cargo new --bin magic-usage && cd magic-usage/
$ $EDITOR Cargo.toml
Add a dependency to your Cargo.toml
(see Cargo doc):
[dependencies]
magic = "0.*"
Then use the magic
crate according to its documentation.
Needs rustc 1.6 stable
or later. Create an issue if it does not work on current stable.
By default compiling rust-magic
will search your system library paths for a version of libmagic.so
. If you're cross-compiling, or need more control over which library is selected, see how to build rust-magic-sys
.
