# DESCRIPTION

This module identifies filetypes and tells you whether they are considered
archivable by various institutes. This is done via a plugin mechanism.

# ATTRIBUTES

# METHODS

## parse\_extension

Parses the filename and returns the extension. Uses
["fileparse" in File::Basename](https://metacpan.org/pod/File%3A%3ABasename#fileparse)

## identify\_from\_fh

Identify the file from a file handle. Please note that this does not
work with a [File::Temp](https://metacpan.org/pod/File%3A%3ATemp) filehandle.

Returns a data structure like this:

   {
       # DANS is the Prefered format list
       'DANS' => {

           # preferred format list
           'types' => [
               'Plain text (Unicode)',
               'Plain text (Non-Unicode)',
               'Statistical data (data (.csv) + setup)',
               'Raspter GIS (ASCII GRID)',
               'Raspter GIS (ASCII GRID)'
           ],
           # The extensions by which belongs to the mime type/file
           'allowed_extensions' => ['.asc', '.txt'],
           # Boolean which tells you if the file is archivable and
           # therfore preferred.
           'archivable'         => 1
       },
       'mime_type' => 'text/plain'
