[b822811] | 16 | <para>File uses magic numbers to determine a file type. These magic numbers
|
---|
| 17 | come with File in a plain text file. File internally compiles this database
|
---|
| 18 | each time it is run. This is not the normal type of operation for File since
|
---|
| 19 | compiling a
|
---|
[42078c46] | 20 | plain text file each time is not the fastest way to do it. File offers an
|
---|
| 21 | option "-C" to compile this magic number file. The reason this isn't done
|
---|
[4d994af4] | 22 | automatically is that some people like to work on the magic numbers. On the
|
---|
[42078c46] | 23 | other hand many people didn't get it that they should compile the magic
|
---|
| 24 | numbers, so the author of File added a warning when the plain text magic file
|
---|
| 25 | is used. As we usually won't work on the plain text magic file, we
|
---|
| 26 | compile this file, because it's faster, fixes that annoying warning and is how
|
