Hello, ports.

Pistol if a file previewer, but it's actually meant to complement
(terminal-based) file browsers such as sysutils/lf which is how I use
it. Here is the most basic example how to see it in action. First set
the previewer in ~/.config/lf/lfrc:

    set previewer ~/.config/lf/previewer

Then in ~/.config/lf/previewer make it use pistol for previewing:

    #!/bin/sh
    pistol "$1"

Something like the above, for instance, makes it a lot easier to browse
over archives.

I've put the port in the attachment and the output of package info
below.

Comment:
general purpose file previewer

Description:
Pistol is a file previewer for command line file managers.

Pistol is a Go program (with (almost) 0 dependencies) and its MIME
type detection is internal. Moreover, it features native preview
support for almost any archive file and for text files along with
syntax highlighting.

In case Pistol encounters a MIME type it doesn't know how to handle
natively and you haven't configured a program to handle it, it'll
print a general description of the file type it encountered.
