To-do list

• Use libmagic to get information on the file
• Have a MIME type sniffer fallback that does not rely on libmagic
• Show the size of the file
• Show the file permissions
• Show the username of the file's owner
• Show the user group of the file's owner
• If the file is an executable, try to show its dynamic dependencies, if any exist
• Show last modified date
• Show last accessed date
• Add tests to wizardry, our libmagic bindings crate.
• Allow building libmagic statically (or at least make ir work properly when built with MUSL)
• Generally improve the output: better formatting, colors, etc.
• Command-line options and flags?
