Is it doable to also check for XLS?

h2non commented 4 years ago

Yes, it is. It was already implemented in the Go port of this package: https://github.com/h2non/filetype#documents

PR would be very welcome!

Hi @h2non The magic number of all the office documents are same how will I distinguish between doc, xls, and ppt file. I have also checked the https://github.com/file/file but that was tough for me to understand.``
