     *
     * There are three sets of tests, performed in this order: filesystem tests,
     * magic tests, and language tests. The first test that succeeds causes the
     * detection to complete.
     *
     * The detection result will usually contain one of the words *text* (the
     * file contains only printing characters and a few com-mon control characters
     * and is probably safe to read on an ASCII terminal), *executable* (the
     * file an executable file understandable by whatever operating system it was
     * made for), or *data* meaning anything else (data is usually ``binary'' or
     * non-printable).
     *
     * The filesystem tests are based on examining the return from a stat(2) system
     * call.  The library checks to see if the file is empty, or if it's some sort
     * of special file (sockets, symbolic links, or named pipes (FIFOs) on those
     * systems that implement them).
     *
     * The magic tests are used to check for files with data in particular fixed
     * formats.  The canonical example of this is a binary executable file. These
     * files have a ``magic number'' stored in a particular place near the beginning
     * of the file. The concept of a *'magic'* has been applied by extension to data
     * files.  Any file with some invariant identifier at a small fixed offset into
     * the file can usually be described in this way.  The information identifying
     * these files is read from the compiled magic file.
     *
     * If a file does not match any of the entries in the magic file, it is examined
     * to see if it seems to be a text file and identify the character set it uses.
     * Any file that cannot be identified as having been written in any of the character
     * sets known to libmagic is simply said to be *'data'*.
     *
     * @param path path the file to be detected.
     * @param flags specific flags to be used for this detection request. To use
