The binaryextensions package provides a list of binary file extensions. It is similar to is-binary-path but does not provide a function to check the file path. Instead, it provides the raw data to be used in any way needed.
The textextensions package is the opposite of is-binary-path. It provides a list of text file extensions. This can be used in conjunction with is-binary-path to determine if a file is neither binary nor text.
The istextorbinary package provides more comprehensive functionality than is-binary-path. It not only checks file extensions but also inspects file contents to determine if a file is text or binary. This can be more accurate than is-binary-path which only uses file extensions.
