there is this in ainclude code for loading libmagic's magic database:
// this attempts to find the path for the magic db file dynamically
// through some paths i have found around the systems i have.
//
// libmagic's build process enables you to override the default
// path to the magic file, which means that doing a static build of it
// means it won't work on a separate system since it doesn't have
// that one hardcoded in.
//
// a future iteration might bundle the magic database with the
// executable through possibly, @embedFile, then dump that into a
// temporary file for super compatibility with windows and macos
this is useful enough to be turned into its own zig library.
