Rust declarations for libmagic.
This cargo -sys package provides libmagic declarations for e.g. the magic binding.
magic-sys is available on crates.io so you can use it like this (in your Cargo.toml):
[dependencies]
magic-sys = "0.2.0"The rustdoc is available on GitHub Pages.
libmagic needs to be installed in a standard location (also see issue #1).
On a Debian based Linux system this can be achieved like this:
sudo apt-get install libmagic1 libmagic-devOn RHEL/Cent OS, Gentoo and others you will need to install the file package.
On Mac OS X you can use Homebrew:
brew install libmagicFeedback for Windows (issue #2) support is appreciated!
By default libmagic will be searched in the system library paths. If you need to use a different library or are cross-compiling, you can set the MAGIC_DIR and MAGIC_STATIC environment variables.
Tells rustc where to find libmagic.so / libmagic.a. Can have a target-specific prefix like X86_64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_MUSL_MAGIC_DIR
Controls static linking with libmagic. Enabled automatically if there's only a libmagic.a in the (provided) search path or if explicitly enabled like MAGIC_STATIC=true. Can have a target-specific prefix like X86_64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_MUSL_MAGIC_STATIC
Similarly MAGIC_STATIC=false can be used to choose to link libmagic dynamically.
If unset but both libraries are available, the build will bail out with an error and you have to set one option explicitly.
