File internally compiles this database13 each time it is run. This is not the normal type of operation for File since14 compiling a15 plain text file each time is not the fastest way to do it. File offers an16 option "-C" to compile this magic number file. The reason this isn't done17 automatically is that some people like to work on the magic numbers. On the18 other hand many people didn't get it that they should compile the magic19 numbers, so the author of File added a warning when the plain text magic file20 is used. As we usually won't work on the plain text magic file, we21 compile this file, because it's faster, fixes that annoying warning and is how22 it was meant to be:</para>23 24 <para><screen><userinput>file -C</userinput></screen></para>25 26 11 </sect2> 27 12
