# archive:  file(1) magic for archive formats (see also "msdos" for self-
#           extracting compressed archives)
#
# cpio, ar, arc, arj, hpack, lha/lharc, rar, squish, uc2, zip, zoo, etc.
# pre-POSIX "tar" archives are handled in the C code.

# POSIX tar archives
257	string		ustar\0		POSIX tar archive
257	string		ustar\040\040\0	GNU tar archive

# cpio archives
#
# Yes, the top two "cpio archive" formats *are* supposed to just be "short".
# The idea is to indicate archives produced on machines with the same
# byte order as the machine running "file" with "cpio archive", and
# to indicate archives produced on machines with the opposite byte order
# from the machine running "file" with "byte-swapped cpio archive".
#
# The SVR4 "cpio(4)" hints that there are additional formats, but they
# are defined as "short"s; I think all the new formats are
# character-header formats and thus are strings, not numbers.

# The first byte is the magic (0x1a), byte 2 is the compression type for
# the first file (0x01 through 0x09), and bytes 3 to 15 are the MS-DOS
# filename of the first file (null terminated).  Since some types collide
# we only test some types on basis of frequency: 0x08 (83%), 0x09 (5%),
# 0x02 (5%), 0x03 (3%), 0x04 (2%), 0x06 (2%).  0x01 collides with terminfo.
