Andrew Jackson commented on TIKA-86:
------------------------------------
The file command comes with signatures for a lot more formats, see
https://github.com/glensc/file/tree/master/magic/Magdir. I think having
signatures that could be shared between file and Tika would be great, but
perhaps converting them to Tika's XML format would make more sense?
> Support magic(5) files

> Tika should have a parser for the magic(5) file format used by the file(1)
> command. Then we could use existing magic rules from places like
> http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/magic.
