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