| 10 | <para>File uses magic numbers to determine a file type. These magic numbers
|
|---|
| 11 | come with File in a plain text file. File internally compiles this database
|
|---|
| 12 | each time it is run. This is not the normal type of operation for File since
|
|---|
| 13 | compiling a
|
|---|
| 14 | plain text file each time is not the fastest way to do it. File offers an
|
|---|
| 15 | option "-C" to compile this magic number file. The reason this isn't done
|
|---|
| 16 | automatically is that some people like to work on the magic numbers. On the
|
|---|
| 17 | other hand many people didn't get it that they should compile the magic
|
|---|
| 18 | numbers, so the author of File added a warning when the plain text magic file
|
|---|
| 19 | is used. As we usually won't work on the plain text magic file, we
|
|---|
| 20 | compile this file, because it's faster, fixes that annoying warning and is how
|
|---|
| 21 | it was meant to be:</para>
|

| 22 |
|

| 23 | <para><screen><userinput>file -C</userinput></screen></para>
