hi,

how can i detect the format of an image file, if it can't be derived from
the extension?

for example:
how can i detect the format of a file named: picture.001 ?

the picture formats i want to detect are:
tiff, gif, bmp, pcx, tga, jpg (and more if possible)

and maybe this is possible for other binary data files (like avi's, wav's?)

many thanks in advance,

greetz,

vincent
