Package org.mmbase.util.magicfile Description

This package contains the classes needed by org.mmbase.util.magicfile.MagicFile. A complete package is dedicated to this because it is quite a lot of code to put in one file.

The core class is `Detector'. MagicXMLReader creates the Detectors using an XML configuration file 'magic.xml'. 'MagicParser' contains the functions to generate a magic.xml from a UNIX 'file' file.
