- Fix for possible unset uid/gid in toproto
- Fix for default mtree style
- Update libelf
- Importing libexecinfo
- Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr
- build.sh: Replace params with show-params.
This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same
way, while a new target named params has been added. This new
target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of
printing it on the console.
- Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org)
get getservbyport() out of the inner loop

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions
|
|
operate on the magic database file
|
|
which is described
|
|
in
|
|
.Xr magic 5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn magic_open
|
|
creates a magic cookie pointer and returns it.
|
|
It returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if there was an error allocating the magic cookie.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar flags
|

|
|
and try to look in its contents.

|
|
.It Dv MAGIC_ERROR

.Xr magic 5
|
|
database and deallocates any resources used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn magic_error
|
|
function returns a textual explanation of the last error, or
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if there was no error.
|
|
.Pp
|

The
|
|
.Fn magic_errno

|
|
.Ar filename
|
|
argument, or
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if an error occurred.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ar filename
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
then stdin is used.
|
|
.Pp

|
The
|
|
.Fn magic_descriptor

|
function returns a textual description of the contents of the
|
|
.Ar fd
|
|
argument, or
|
|
.Dv NULL
|

if an error occurred.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn magic_buffer
|
|
function returns a textual description of the contents of the
|
|
.Ar buffer
|
|
argument with
|
|
.Ar length
|
|
bytes size.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn magic_setflags
|
|
function sets the
|
|
.Ar flags
|
|
described above.
|
|
Note that using both MIME flags together can also
|
|
return extra information on the charset.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.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
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
for the default database.
|
|
It returns 0 on success and \-1 on failure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn magic_compile
|
|
function can be used to compile the the colon
|
|
separated list of database files passed in as
|
|
.Ar filename ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv 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
|
|
.Dq .mgc
|
|
appended to it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn magic_list
|
|
function dumps all magic entries in a human readable format,
|
|
dumping first the entries that are matched against binary files and then the
|
|
ones that match text files.
|
|
It takes and optional
|
|
.Fa filename

.Dv NULL
|
|
for the default database.
|
|
.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
|
|
.Dv 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
|
|
.Pa /usr/share/misc/magic .
|
|
.Fn magic_load
|
|
adds
|
|
.Dq .mgc
|
|
to the database filename as appropriate.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn magic_version
|
|
command returns the version number of this library which is compiled into
|
|
the shared library using the constant
|
|
.Dv MAGIC_VERSION
|
|
from
|
|
.In magic.h .
|
|
This can be used by client programs to verify that the version they compile
|
|
against is the same as the version that they run against.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn magic_open
|
|
returns a magic cookie on success and
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure setting errno to an appropriate value.
|
|
It will set errno to
|
|
.Er EINVAL
|
|
if an unsupported value for flags was given.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn magic_list ,
|
|
.Fn magic_load ,
|
|
.Fn magic_compile ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn magic_check
|
|
functions return 0 on success and \-1 on failure.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn magic_buffer ,
|
|
.Fn magic_getpath ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn magic_file ,
|
|
functions return a string on success and
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|

|
|
.Fn magic_error

|
|
functions, or
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if there was no error.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn magic_version
|
|
always returns the version number of the library.
|
|
Finally,
|
|
.Fn magic_setflags
|
|
returns \-1 on systems that don't support
|
|
.Xr utime 3 ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr utimes 2
|
|
when
|
|
.Dv MAGIC_PRESERVE_ATIME
|
|
is set.
