Description

Identifies file types and traits from Python code. It can help tools decide whether a path is text, binary, executable, image-like, or otherwise relevant before running checks or transformations.

Developers often use it in linters, pre-commit hooks, and repository automation. File detection guides behavior but should not be the only security boundary for untrusted files.
