== Description ==
<!-- Describe the what the tool does, focusing on it's digital preservation value. Keep it factual. -->
Download sample legacy file formats from the UK Web Archive Shine service, and Archives Unleashed's Warclight based on a file's first four bytes (FFB).

Shine's public interface enables searching for sample files using a file's first four-bytes, if you know what you might want to look for. This utility uses the same Shine based GET request to build a set of files to download, or return a single example, which can then be requested using '''wget'''. Examples are provided in the tool's [https://github.com/exponential-decay/moonshine/blob/master/README.md README.md]. [https://github.com/exponential-decay/moonshine/releases Releases] are available in all major platform. Issues and pull-requests to improve its stability are welcome. Please use responsibly and don't needlessly poll any implementation of the Shine service! 

The ideal use of moonlight is to build a greater number of sample files from a more varied range of sources for submission alongside a file format signature. This is to improve the ability to verify an identification pattern's efficacy.
