java.lang.Object java.nio.file.spi.FileTypeDetector
public abstract class FileTypeDetector
Disabled: no SafeJ information.
A file type detector for probing a file to guess its file type.
A file type detector is a concrete implementation of this class, has a zero-argument constructor, and implements the abstract methods specified below.
The means by which a file type detector determines the file type is highly implementation specific. A simple implementation might examine the file extension (a convention used in some platforms) and map it to a file type. In other cases, the file type may be stored as a file attribute or the bytes in a file may be examined to guess its file type.

public abstract String probeContentType(FileRef file) throws IOException
The means by which this method determines the file type is highly implementation specific. It may simply examine the file name, it may use a file attribute, or it may examines bytes in the file.
The probe result is the string form of the value of a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) content type as defined by RFC 2045: Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part One: Format of Internet Message Bodies. The string must be parsable according to the grammar in the RFC 2045.
file
- The file to probe
null
if the file type is not
recognized
IOException
- An I/O error occurs
SecurityException
- If the implementation requires to access the file, and a
security manager is installed, and it denies an unspecified
permission required by a file system provider implementation.
If the file reference is associated with the default file system
provider then the SecurityManager.checkRead(String)
method
is invoked to check read access to the file.Files.probeContentType(java.nio.file.FileRef)
