- file for Debian
- ===============
- additional magic files
- ----------------------
- How users can inject their own magics for fun:
- 1. open /etc/magic and /etc/magic.mime with a text editor, as root,
- and add your own magics.
- 2. have fun.
- How package maintainers can inject their own magics for profit:
- 1. place your magics as plain text files in
- /usr/share/file/${binary_package_name}.
- 2. call 'file --compile ${binary_package_name}' from /usr/share/file
- in your postinst script (maybe we should have a trigger for that
- at some point). this will produce the binary magics
- /usr/share/file/${binary_package_name}.mgc.
- 3. remove the binary magics in your postrm script.
- 4. profit.
- seccomp support
- ---------------
- Starting with version 1:5.37-1, file is built using libseccomp. This
- will introduce a regression if applications call the program with the
- --uncompress option, and file(1) needs the help of external programs
- for uncompression.
