NAME

       Lintian::Info::FileInfo - access to collected file-info data

SYNOPSIS

           use Lintian::Processable;
           my $processable = Lintian::Processable::Binary->new;

DESCRIPTION

       Lintian::Info::FileInfo provides an interface to package data for file(1) information, aka
       magic data.

INSTANCE METHODS

       file_info (FILE)
           Returns the output of file(1) for FILE (if it exists) or "undef".

           NB: The value may have been calibrated by Lintian.  A notorious example is gzip files,
           where file(1) can be unreliable at times (see #620289)

           Needs-Info requirements for using file_info: file-info

       saved_file_info
           Returns the cached file (1) information.
