      This extension has been deprecated as the PECL extension
      <link linkend="ref.fileinfo">Fileinfo</link>
      provides the same functionality (and more) in a much cleaner way.

    </warning>
    <para>
     The functions in this module try to guess the content type
     and encoding of a file by looking for certain 
     <emphasis>magic</emphasis> byte sequences at specific
     positions within the file. While this is not a bullet proof
     approach the heuristics used do a very good job.
    </para>
    <para>
     This extension is derived from Apache mod_mime_magic, 
     which is itself based on the <filename>file</filename> 
     command maintained by Ian F. Darwin. See the source code for
     further historic and copyright information.
