462 * Enforce limit of 8K on regex searches that have no limits

532 2014-02-18 13:04 Kimmo Suominen (kimmo@suominen.com)
534 * Cache old LC_CTYPE locale before setting it to "C", so
535 we can use it to restore LC_CTYPE instead of asking
536 setlocale() to scan the environment variables.
538 2014-02-12 18:21 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

554 if there were multiple matches.
555 * in some cases overflow was not detected when computing offsets
558 2013-12-05 12:00 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
560 * use strcasestr() to for cdf strings
561 * reset to the "C" locale while doing regex operations, or case
562 insensitive comparisons; this is provisional
564 2013-11-19 20:10 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
566 * always leave magic file loaded, don't unload for magic_check, etc.
567 * fix default encoding to binary instead of unknown which broke recently
568 * handle empty and one byte files, less specially so that

597 2013-04-22 11:20 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
599 * The way "default" was implemented was not very useful
600 because the "if something was printed at that level"
601 was not easily controlled by the user, and the format
602 was bound to a string which is too restrictive. Add
603 a "clear" for that level keyword and make "default"
604 void. This way one can do:
610 >>>13 lelong x unknown %x
612 2013-03-25 13:20 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

711 2011-12-08 13:07 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>

714 magic. Patterns are either anchored regexs or search/8192. English
715 language detection and PL/1 detection have been removed as they
716 were too fragile. -e tokens is still accepted for backwards
718 * Move 3ds patterns (which are commented out anyway) into autodesk

764 * Fix detection of Zip files (Mantis #128).
765 * Make some minor improvements to file(1).
766 * Rename MIME types for filesystem objects for consistency with
767 xdg-utils. Typically this means that application/x-foo becomes
768 inode/foo, but some names also change slightly, e.g.
769 application/x-character-device becomes inode/chardevice.

816 * When matching softmagic for ascii files, don't just print
817 the softmagic classification, keep going and print the

1396 * Centralize all the tests in file_buffer.
1400 2007-01-18 05:29 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
1402 * Move the "type" detection code from parse() into its own table
1403 driven routine. This avoids maintaining multiple lists in
1406 * Add an optional conditional field (ust before the type field).
1407 This code is wrapped in "#ifdef ENABLE_CONDITIONALS" as it is
1410 2007-01-16 23:24 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
1412 * Fix an initialization bug in check_mem().
1414 2007-01-16 14:58 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
1416 * Add a "default" type to print a message if nothing previously
1417 matched at that level or since the last default at that
1418 level. This is useful for setting up switch-like statements.
1419 It can also be used to do if/else constructions without a
1420 redundant second test.
1422 * Fix the "x" special case test so that one can test for that
1425 * Allow "search" to search the entire buffer if the "/N"
1426 search count is missing.
1428 * Make "regex" work! It now starts its search at the
1429 specified offset and takes an (optional) "/N" line count to
1430 specify the search range; otherwise it searches to the end
1431 of the file. The match is now grabbed correctly for format
1432 strings and the offset set to the end of the match.
1434 * Add a "/s" flag to "regex" and "search" to set the offset to
1435 the start of the match. By default the offset is set to the
1436 end of the match, as it is with other tests. This is mostly
1439 * Make "search", "string" and "pstring" use the same
1440 file_strncmp() routine so that they support the same flags;
1441 "bestring16" and "lestring16" call the same routine, but
1442 with flags = 0. Also add a "/C" flag (in analogy to "/c")
1443 to ignore the case on uppercase (lowercase) characters in
1446 * Strict adherence to C style string escapes. A warnings are
1447 printed when compiling. Note: previously "\a" was
1448 incorrectly translated to 'a' instead of an <alert> (i.e.,
1449 BELL, typically 0x07).
1451 * Make this compile with "-Wall -Wextra" and all the warning
1452 flags used with WARNS=4 in the NetBSD source. Also make it
1455 * Many "cleanups" and hopefully not too many new bugs!
1457 2007-01-16 14:56 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
1459 * make several more files compile with gcc warnings
1460 on and also make them pass lint.
1462 2007-01-16 14:54 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
1464 * fix a puts()/putc() usage goof in file.c
1466 * make file.c compile with gcc warnings and pass lint

1475 * add a few missed cases in the strength routine
1477 2006-12-08 16:32 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>

1480 entry for debugging.

1483 don't treat it as a match
1485 * change the magic strength algorithm to take
1486 into account the relationship op.
1488 * fix a bug in search where we could accidentally
1491 * propagate the error return from match to
1494 2006-11-25 13:35 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>
1496 * Don't store the current offset in the magic
1497 struct, because it needs to be restored and
1498 it was not done properly all the time. Bug
1499 found by: Arkadiusz Miskiewicz
1501 * Fix problem in the '\0' separator; and don't
1502 print it as an additional separator; print
1503 it as the only separator.

1636 If a CRLF text file happens to have CR at offset HOWMANY - 1
1637 (currently 0xffff), it should not be counted as CR line
1639 If a line has length exactly MAXLINELEN, it should not yet be
1640 treated as a ``very long line'', as MAXLINELEN is ``longest sane
1642 With CRLF, the line length was not computed correctly, and even
1643 lines of length MAXLINELEN - 1 were treated as ``very long''.
1645 2004-12-07 14:15 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>
1647 * bzip2 needs a lot of input buffer space on some files
1648 before it can begin uncompressing. This makes file -z
