Add File coverage to format listings #11

Open nkrabben opened 6 years ago

The file tool also identifies a number of formats and would be useful to have in this combined registry.

Yes, very happy to review any pull requests to improve this. You can see the fine free file magic here: https://github.com/file/file/tree/master/magic/Magdir

It doesn't have file extensions, but it does have some MIME types, e.g. https://github.com/file/file/blob/master/magic/Magdir/pdf

Hmm, does have some extension info, e.g.

https://github.com/file/file/blob/d3516f29966c52ebd0619839110edd6646540e0b/magic/Magdir/jpeg#L17-L21

But it looks a bit gnarly to parse. I guess look for the !:mime and then backtrack to a non-!: line and backtrack via the > to put the name together?
