.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|||
|
|
These functions
|
|||
|
|
operate on the magic database file
|
|||
|
|
which is described
|
|||
|
|
in
|
|||
|
|
.Xr magic __FSECTION__ .
|
|||
|
|
.Pp
|
|||
|
|
The function
|
|||
|
|
.Fn magic_open
|
|||
|
|
creates a magic cookie pointer and returns it. It returns NULL if
|
|||
|
|
there was an error allocating the magic cookie. The
|
|||
|
|
.Ar flags
|
|||
|
|
argument specifies how the other magic functions should behave:
|
|||
|
|
.Bl -tag -width MAGIC_COMPRESS
|
|||
|
|
.It Dv MAGIC_NONE
|
|||
|
|
No special handling.
|
|||
|
|
.It Dv MAGIC_DEBUG
|
|||
|
|
Print debugging messages to stderr.
|
|||
|
|
.It Dv MAGIC_SYMLINK
|
|||
|
|
If the file queried is a symlink, follow it.
|
|||
|
|
.It Dv MAGIC_COMPRESS
|
|||
|
|
If the file is compressed, unpack it and look at the contents.
|
|||
|
|
.It Dv MAGIC_DEVICES
|
|||
|
|
If the file is a block or character special device, then open the device
|
|||
|
|
and try to look in its contents.
|
|||
|
|
.It Dv MAGIC_MIME
|
|||
|
|
Return a mime string, instead of a textual description.
|
|||
|
|
.It Dv MAGIC_CONTINUE
|
|||
|
|
Return all matches, not just the first.
|
|||
|
|
.It Dv MAGIC_CHECK
|
|||
|
|
Check the magic database for consistency and print warnings to stderr.
|
|||
|
|
.It Dv MAGIC_PRESERVE_ATIME
|
|||
|
|
On systems that support
|
|||
|
|
.Xr utime 2
|
|||
|
|
or
|
|||
|
|
.Xr utimes 2 ,
|
|||
|
|
attempt to preserve the access time of files analyzed.
|
|||
|
|
.It Dv MAGIC_RAW
|
|||
|
|
Don't translate unprintable characters to a \eooo octal representation.
|
|||
|
|
.It Dv MAGIC_ERROR
|
|||
|
|
Treat operating system errors while trying to open files and follow symlinks
|
|||
|
|
as real errors, instead of printing them in the magic buffer.
|
|||
|

.El
|
|||
|
|
.Pp
|
|||
|
|
The
|
|||
|

.Xr magic __FSECTION__
|
|||
|
|
database and deallocates any resources used.
|
|||
|
|
.Pp
|
|||
|
|
The
|
|||
|
|
.Fn magic_error
|
|||

|
|

|
.Pp
|
|||

|
|
.Pp
|
|||
|
|
The
|
|||
|
|
.Fn magic_file
|
|||
|
|
function returns a textual description of the contents of the
|
|||
|
|
.Ar filename
|
|||
|
|
argument, or NULL if an error occurred.
|
|||
|
|
If the
|
|||
|
|
.Ar filename
|
|||
|
|
is NULL, then stdin is used.
|

|
|||
|
|
The
|
|||
|
|
.Fn magic_buffer
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
argument with
|
|||
|
|
.Ar length
|
|||
|
|
bytes size.
|
|||

|||
|
|
.Fn magic_check

|
function can be used to check the validity of entries in the colon
|
|||
|
|
separated database files passed in as
|
|||
|
|
.Ar filename ,
|
|||
|
|
or NULL for the default database. It returns 0 on success and -1 on
|
|||
|
|
failure.
|
|||
|
|
.Pp
|
|||
|
|
The
|
|||
|
|
.Fn magic_compile

|
|||
|
|
separated list of database files passed in as

|
|
or NULL for the default database. It returns 0 on success and -1 on
|
|||
|
|
failure. The compiled files created are named from the
|
|||
|
|
.Xr basename 1
|
|||
|
|
of each file argument with ".mgc" appended to it.
|
|||
|
|
.Pp
|
|||
|
|
The
|
|||
|
|
.Fn magic_load
|
|||
|
|
function must be used to load the the colon
|
|||
|
|
separated list of database files passed in as
|
|||
|
|
.Ar filename ,
|
|||
|
|
or NULL for the default database file
|
|||
|
|
before any magic queries can performed.
|
|||
|
|
.Pp
|
|||
|
|
The default database file is named by the MAGIC environment variable. If
|
|||
|
|
that variable is not set, the default database file name is __MAGIC__.
|
|||
|
|
.Pp
|
|||
|
|
.Fn magic_load
|
|||
|
|
adds ".mime" and/or ".mgc" to the database filename as appropriate.
|
|||
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|||
|
|
The function
|
|||
|
|
.Fn magic_open
|
|||
|
|

|
|
an appropriate value. It will set errno to EINVAL if an unsupported
|
|||
|
|
value for flags was given.
|
|||
|
|
The
|
|||
|
|
.Fn magic_load ,
|
|||
|
|
.Fn magic_compile ,
|
|||
|

|||
|
|

|||
|
|
.Fn magic_buffer

|||
|
|
.Fn magic_error
|
|||
|
|
function returns a textual description of the errors of the above
|
|||
|
|
functions, or NULL if there was no error.
|
|||
|
|
Finally,
|
|||
|
|
.Fn magic_setflags
|
|||
|
|
returns -1 on systems that don't support
|
|||
|
|
.Xr utime 2 ,
|
|||
|
|
or
|
|||
|
|
.Xr utimes 2
