Hey All,

I'm piecing together a library of source code that can identify a file format by reading it's data signature.

So far it's in very early alpha stage, with the ability to recognise a list of already-implemented Image & Archive formats, but I need to test it's ability to handle different endians.

Feel free to rip it apart and I really do welcome any support, or additional signature definitions.

(You will also find another library i'm working on that allows you to access/read/write files and memory with similar commands to the file commands)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pbutil ... 8FRECO%29/

Thanks!

You may want to look in the source package of
"file" (the Linux command):
http://www.darwinsys.com/file/
It has a whole lot of magic number signatures.

Fantastic. Thanks a million.
