{{Infobox tool details}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The module allows to handle Droid signatures. [[Droid]] is a utility which uses the PRONOM database to identify file formats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/PRONOM/ for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With this module you could:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* convert Droid signatures to Perl regular expressions (Regex)&lt;br /&gt;
* analyze files and display which/where pattern of Droid signature matches via tag-files for wxHexEditor&lt;br /&gt;
* calc statistics about Droid signatures&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blog post https://kulturreste.blogspot.com/2018/10/heres-tool-make-it-work.html shows how to analyze the signatures.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
