magic file on the UNIX PC

lenny@icus.islp.ny.us (Lenny Tropiano) (09/19/88)

These lines can be appended to your /etc/magic file to add additional
description when using the "file" command on "font files and phone
directories".  Each of these have distinct magic numbers, so why not
add them to the /etc/magic file.  I prefer the detailed description over
just "data".

Lines to add:

0	long		0616		AT&T UNIX PC font file
0	short		20863		AT&T UNIX PC phone directory

While on the subject, here are some goodies from my /etc/magic (I'm pretty
sure that all of these were my own addition; perhaps "compressed data" was
already in there?).

98	long		0x00002020	tar archive
0	short		0x1f9d		compressed data
0	short		0x1a01		compiled terminfo description
0	long		0x0000018e	Unix PC window font (binary)
0	string		# magic 0x18e	Unix PC window font (ascii)

0	long		0x000003f3	AmigaDOS executable
0	short		0x601a		Regulus 601a executable
0	short		0x601b		Regulus 601b executable
0	short		0x4d5a		Ms.DOS executable
