I need to find out: a)What the magic number should be for certain types of file and b)Whether a specific file of that type has the correct magic number.
Here is my one, so far futile, effort - in addition to googling until I can see magic numbered smoke coming out of my ears. :-( lisi@Tux:~$ cat /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc | grep gzip Binary file (standard input) matches lisi@Tux:~$ I realise that this is more specific to UNIX than specific to Debian - but it applies to all the UNIX family, and Debian is part of that family. ;-) Thanks, Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
