Guess a type from a file name

Takes the longest known suffix after the last directory separator, ignoring case, so .tar.gz is known as a compound and report.FINAL.PDF is a PDF. Nothing is read from the file.

Usage

mime_guess(path)

Arguments

path

A character vector of paths or file names.

Value

A character vector of canonical types, NA where no suffix is known.

See also

mime_extensions() for the reverse.

Other registry: mime_extensions(), mime_is(), mime_parent(), mime_types()

Examples

mime_guess(c("report.FINAL.PDF", "data.tar.gz", "README", "x.rds"))
#> [1] "application/pdf"   "application/gzip"  NA                 
#> [4] "application/x-rds"
