Hi,
I need to build some magic files (that I later intend to submit to this
project) to enable the identification of some proprietary file formats, as
I'm writing a library to parse those files.
I have already figured out how the headers are structured but was unable to
write functional magic files for them. I tried to follow the magic file
manpage (https://linux.die.net/man/5/magic), but found that piece of
documentation one of the most cryptic I've ever come across.
So that's why I'm sending a message here to request help.
Brad
