Preparing

Before assembling, you need to install a compiler for D (now this project supports compiler ldc2).

This project is assembled with a dynamic or static linking to the Amalthea library. So if you want to build this project from source, you also need to build and install Amalthea. Then return to this instruction.

Compilation and installation

Creating of executable bin-file:

$ make

Installation (by default, main directory is /usr/local/):

# make install

After that, the application is ready for use.

You can install this application in any other directory:

$ make install DESTDIR=home/$USER/sandbox PREFIX=usr

Uninstall:

# make uninstall

If you installed it in an alternate directory:

$ make uninstall DESTDIR=home/$USER/sandbox PREFIX=usr

Usage

fileformat <file> ... [-m|--mime] [--formats <directory>]
    Show format name, format description and format type
    (audio, video, archives, etc.) for specified file(s).
    If '-m' or '--mime' has been used, the program will show
    the MIME type and its description also.
    The '--formats' option specifies a directory that stores JSON files
    with descriptions of custom file formats.
