DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the format of the magic file as used
by the file(1) command, version 5.04. The file(1) com‐ mand
identifies the type of a file using, among other tests, a test
for whether the file contains certain “magic patterns”. The file
/usr/share/misc/magic specifies what patterns are to be tested
for, what message or MIME type to print if a particular pattern
is found, and additional information to extract from the file.
The mentioned file does not exists:
$ ls -la /usr/share/misc/magic
ls: cannot access /usr/share/misc/magic: No such file or directory
Accoring to package:
$ dpkg -L libmagic1 | grep /magic
/etc/magic.mime
/etc/magic
Please update documentation to mention the above files.
