I think the libmagic-dev interface, although very flexible, is overly 
complicated
for most situations.  How about a simpler wrap function like:

char *
magic_simple (char *filename, int flags)
{
  char *ret;
  magic_t m;

  m = magic_open (flags);
  magic_load (m, NULL);
  ret = magic_file (m, filename);
  magic_close (m);

  return ret;
}
