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