      if @magic.nil?

        @magic.check_file file
      end
    end

        break if File.file? file
      }

      open(file) { |f|
        doc = REXML::Document.new f
        REXML::XPath.match(doc, '*/sub-class-of').collect { |c|
          MIME[c.attributes['type']]
        }
      }
    end
