How users can inject their own magics for fun:
|
|
|
|
1. open /etc/magic and /etc/magic.mime with a text editor, as root,
|
|
and add your own magics.
|
|
|
|
2. have fun.

How package maintainers can inject their own magics for profit:
|
|
|
|
1. place your magics as plain text files in
|
|
/usr/share/file/${binary_package_name}.
|
|
|
|
2. call 'file --compile ${binary_package_name}' from /usr/share/file
|
|
in your postinst script (maybe we should have a trigger for that
|
|
at some point). this will produce the binary magics
|
|
/usr/share/file/${binary_package_name}.mgc.
|
|
|
|
3. remove the binary magics in your postrm script.
|
|
|
|
4. profit.
