Output Formatters

note

Output formatters are currently in development. This documentation describes the planned implementation.

The output module handles formatting evaluation results into different output formats for various use cases.

Supported Formats

Text Output

Human-readable format compatible with GNU file:

example.bin: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV)

JSON Output

Structured format for programmatic use:

{
  "filename": "example.bin",
  "description": "ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV)",
  "mime_type": "application/x-executable",
  "confidence": 0.95
}

Implementation Status

Text formatter (output/text.rs)
JSON formatter (output/json.rs)
Format selection logic
MIME type mapping

Planned API

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
pub fn format_text(results: &[Match]) -> String;
pub fn format_json(results: &[Match]) -> Result<String>;
}
