-Maintenance notes:
-
-I am continuing to maintain the file command. I welcome your help,
-but to make my life easier I'd like to request the following:
-
-- Do not distribute changed versions.
-
-People trying to be helpful occasionally put up their hacked versions
-of the file command for anonymous FTP, and people all over the
-world get copies of the hacked versions. Within a day or two I am
-getting email from around the world asking me why "my" file command
-won't compile!!! Needless to say this detracts from the limited
-time I have available to work on the actual software. Therefore I
-ask you again to please NOT distribute your changed version. If
-you need to make changes, please add a patch file next to the
-distribution tar, and a README file that clearly explains what you
-are trying to fix.
-
-Thank you for your assistance and cooperation.

-Code Overview
-
-This is a rough idea of the control flow from the main program:
-
-file.c main()
-file.c process (called for each file)
- printf file name
-magic.c magic_file()
-fsmagic.c file_fsmagic()
- (handles statbuf modes for DEV)
- (handles statbuf modes for executable &c.
- reads data from file.
-funcs.c: file_buffer()
-compress.c file_zmagic()
-is_tar.c file_is_tar()
-softmagic.c file_softmagic()
- match() - looks for match against main magic database
-ascmagic.c file_ascmagic()
-readelf.c file_tryelf()
- "unknown"
