Is there a way to read more than the first 256 Bytes?

[matthewme]

I am trying to pass a long array of bytes to the function but the characters that identify the file go beyond 256 bytes.

@matthewme Can you be more specific?

What is your use case, which filetype are you trying to infer?

Can you monkeypatch https://github.com/h2non/filetype.py/blob/master/filetype/utils.py#L10 ?
