This project contains some experimental "magic" signature files for the file command, a Unix-centric file format identification utility.

To try these signatures: Assuming have a way to run file, run it with the -m option. For example:

$ file -m [...]/myfilecmdmagic/exe_magic example.exe

These pattern files or subdirectories are designed to be used in isolation. Integrating them into the main database (often found at /usr/share/misc/magic or /etc/magic) may be difficult to do without breaking things, and may be beyond the scope of this project.
