Nick Burch commented on TIKA-289:
---------------------------------
As of r1663136, you can now run the Tika CLI with the option
{{--compare-file-magic=<dir>}} to have the Tika mime types compared to a
File(1) magic directory. This will report the mime types known to File(1) but
not Tika, and the ones that File(1) has magic but Tika doesn't, plus some
summary statistics
Hopefully others can use that soon-ish to add in some of the missing types, and
missing magics for known types. Longer term, we can use it to track when
File(1) adds new types we might want to add in too
> Add magic byte patterns from file(1)

> As discussed in TIKA-285, the file(1) command comes with a pretty
> comprehensive set of magic byte patterns. It would be nice to get those
> patterns included also in Tika.
