12 entries with no descriptions
14 * adjust magic strength for regex type
16 * remove superfluous ascmagic with encoding test
18 2014-03-06 12:01 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

23 * add size_t overflow check for magic file size
25 2014-02-27 16:01 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
27 * experimental support for matching with CFD CLSID
29 2014-02-18 13:04 Kimmo Suominen (kimmo@suominen.com)
31 * Cache old LC_CTYPE locale before setting it to "C", so
32 we can use it to restore LC_CTYPE instead of asking
33 setlocale() to scan the environment variables.
35 2014-02-12 18:21 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
37 * Count recursion levels through indirect magic
39 2014-02-11 10:40 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
41 * Prevent infinite recursion on files with indirect offsets of 0
43 2014-01-30 21:00 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
45 * Add -E flag that makes file print filesystem errors to stderr
48 2014-01-08 17:20 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
50 * mime printing could print results from multiple magic entries
51 if there were multiple matches.
52 * in some cases overflow was not detected when computing offsets
55 2013-12-05 12:00 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
57 * use strcasestr() to for cdf strings
58 * reset to the "C" locale while doing regex operations, or case
59 insensitive comparisons; this is provisional
61 2013-11-19 20:10 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
63 * always leave magic file loaded, don't unload for magic_check, etc.
64 * fix default encoding to binary instead of unknown which broke recently
65 * handle empty and one byte files, less specially so that
66 --mime-encoding does not break completely.
68 2013-11-06 14:40 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
70 * fix erroneous non-zero exit code from non-existant file and message
72 2013-10-29 14:25 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
74 * add CDF MSI file detection (Guy Helmer)
76 2013-09-03 11:56 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

88 * Fix spacing issues in softmagic and elf (Jan Kaluza)
90 2013-05-02 18:00 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
92 * Fix segmentation fault with multiple magic_load commands.
94 2013-04-22 11:20 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
96 * The way "default" was implemented was not very useful
97 because the "if something was printed at that level"
98 was not easily controlled by the user, and the format
99 was bound to a string which is too restrictive. Add
100 a "clear" for that level keyword and make "default"
101 void. This way one can do:
107 >>>13 lelong x unknown %x
109 2013-03-25 13:20 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
111 * disallow strength setting in "name" entries

136 * Change fsmagic to add a space after it prints.
138 2013-01-10 21:00 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
140 * Make getline public so that file can link against it.
141 Perhaps it is better to rename it, or hide it differently.
142 Fixes builds on platforms that do not provide it.
144 2013-01-07 16:30 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
146 * Add SuS d{,1,2,4,8}, u{,1,2,4,8} and document

166 2012-09-06 10:40 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
168 * make --version exit 0 (Matthew Schultz)
169 * add string/T (Jan Kaluza)
171 2012-08-09 2:15 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
173 * add z and t modifiers for our own vasprintf
174 * search for $HOME/.magic.mgc if it is there first
175 * fix reads from a pipe, and preserve errno
177 2012-05-15 13:12 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

202 language-specific magic.
204 2011-12-08 13:37 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
206 * Simplify if (p) free(p) to free(p).
208 2011-12-08 13:07 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
210 * Remove hardwired token finding (names.h), turning it into soft
211 magic. Patterns are either anchored regexs or search/8192. English
212 language detection and PL/1 detection have been removed as they
213 were too fragile. -e tokens is still accepted for backwards
215 * Move 3ds patterns (which are commented out anyway) into autodesk
216 (they were, oddly, in c-lang).
218 2011-12-06 00:16 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>

239 only match text files against text entries and binary
240 files against binary entries.
242 2011-09-01 12:12 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
244 * Don't wait for any subprocess, just the one we forked.
246 2011-08-26 16:40 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
248 * If the application name is not set in a cdf file, try to see
249 if it has a directory with the application name on it.
251 2011-08-17 14:32 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
253 * Fix ELF lseek(2) madness. Inspired by PR/134 by Jan Kaluza

261 * Fix detection of Zip files (Mantis #128).
262 * Make some minor improvements to file(1).
263 * Rename MIME types for filesystem objects for consistency with
264 xdg-utils. Typically this means that application/x-foo becomes
265 inode/foo, but some names also change slightly, e.g.
266 application/x-character-device becomes inode/chardevice.
268 2011-05-10 20:57 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
270 * fix mingw compilation (Abradoks)

276 a pointer in a loop (reported by Roberto Maar)
278 2011-03-30 15:45 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
280 * Fix cdf string buffer setting (Sven Anders)
282 2011-03-20 16:35 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
284 * Eliminate MAXPATHLEN and use dynamic allocation for
285 path and file buffers.
287 2011-03-15 18:15 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
289 * binary tests on magic entries with masks could spuriously
290 get converted to ascii.
292 2011-03-12 18:06 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
294 * Improve file.man (remove BUGS, present email addresses consistently).

309 2011-02-02 20:40 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
311 * help and version output to stdout.
313 * When matching softmagic for ascii files, don't just print
314 the softmagic classification, keep going and print the
315 text classification too. This fixes broken troff files when
316 we moved them from keyword recognition to softmagic
317 (they stopped printing "with CRLF" etc.)
318 Reported by Doug McIlroy.
320 2011-01-16 19:31 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>

418 2010-01-22 15:45 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
420 * print proper mime for crystal reports file
422 * print the last summary information of a cdf document, not the
423 first so that nested documents print the right info
425 2010-01-16 18:42 Charles Longeau <chl@tuxfamily.org>
427 * bring back some fixes from OpenBSD:
428 - make gcc2 builds file
429 - fix typos in a magic file comment
431 2009-11-17 18:35 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
433 * ctime/asctime can return NULL on some OS's although
434 they should not (Toshit Antani)

509 right now print the correct information.
511 2009-03-27 18:43 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
513 * don't print \012- separators in the same magic entry
514 if it consists of multiple magic printing lines.
516 2009-03-23 10:20 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

537 2009-02-23 15:45 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
539 * make the cdf code use the buffer first if available,
540 and then the fd code.
542 2009-02-13 13:45 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
544 * look for struct option to determine if getopt.h is usable for IRIX.
546 * sanitize cdf document strings
548 2009-02-04 13:25 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

601 * Correct words counts in comments of struct magic.
603 * Fix handle_annotation to allow both Apple and MIME types to be
604 printed, and to return correct code if MIME type is
605 printed (1, not 0) or if there's an error (-1 not 1).
607 * Fix output of charset for MIME type (precede with semi-colon;
608 fixes Debian bug #501460).

858 This work was done by Reuben Thomas
860 2007-05-24 10:00 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>

885 to exploitable heap overflow (Jean-Sebastien Guay-Lero)
887 2007-02-05 11:35 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>
889 * make socket/pipe reading more robust
891 2007-01-25 16:01 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>
893 * Centralize all the tests in file_buffer.
897 2007-01-18 05:29 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
899 * Move the "type" detection code from parse() into its own table
900 driven routine. This avoids maintaining multiple lists in
903 * Add an optional conditional field (ust before the type field).
904 This code is wrapped in "#ifdef ENABLE_CONDITIONALS" as it is
907 2007-01-16 23:24 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
909 * Fix an initialization bug in check_mem().
911 2007-01-16 14:58 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
913 * Add a "default" type to print a message if nothing previously
914 matched at that level or since the last default at that
915 level. This is useful for setting up switch-like statements.
916 It can also be used to do if/else constructions without a
917 redundant second test.
919 * Fix the "x" special case test so that one can test for that
922 * Allow "search" to search the entire buffer if the "/N"
923 search count is missing.
925 * Make "regex" work! It now starts its search at the
926 specified offset and takes an (optional) "/N" line count to
927 specify the search range; otherwise it searches to the end
928 of the file. The match is now grabbed correctly for format
929 strings and the offset set to the end of the match.
931 * Add a "/s" flag to "regex" and "search" to set the offset to
932 the start of the match. By default the offset is set to the
933 end of the match, as it is with other tests. This is mostly
936 * Make "search", "string" and "pstring" use the same
937 file_strncmp() routine so that they support the same flags;
938 "bestring16" and "lestring16" call the same routine, but
939 with flags = 0. Also add a "/C" flag (in analogy to "/c")
940 to ignore the case on uppercase (lowercase) characters in
943 * Strict adherence to C style string escapes. A warnings are
944 printed when compiling. Note: previously "\a" was
945 incorrectly translated to 'a' instead of an <alert> (i.e.,
946 BELL, typically 0x07).
948 * Make this compile with "-Wall -Wextra" and all the warning
949 flags used with WARNS=4 in the NetBSD source. Also make it
952 * Many "cleanups" and hopefully not too many new bugs!
954 2007-01-16 14:56 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
956 * make several more files compile with gcc warnings
957 on and also make them pass lint.
959 2007-01-16 14:54 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
961 * fix a puts()/putc() usage goof in file.c

972 * add a few missed cases in the strength routine
974 2006-12-08 16:32 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>
976 * store and print the line number of the magic
979 * if the magic entry did not print anything,
980 don't treat it as a match
982 * change the magic strength algorithm to take
983 into account the relationship op.
985 * fix a bug in search where we could accidentally
988 * propagate the error return from match to
991 2006-11-25 13:35 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>
993 * Don't store the current offset in the magic
994 struct, because it needs to be restored and
995 it was not done properly all the time. Bug
996 found by: Arkadiusz Miskiewicz
998 * Fix problem in the '\0' separator; and don't
999 print it as an additional separator; print
1000 it as the only separator.
1002 2006-11-17 10:51 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>
1004 * Added a -0 option to print a '\0' separator

1133 If a CRLF text file happens to have CR at offset HOWMANY - 1
1134 (currently 0xffff), it should not be counted as CR line
1136 If a line has length exactly MAXLINELEN, it should not yet be
1137 treated as a ``very long line'', as MAXLINELEN is ``longest sane
1139 With CRLF, the line length was not computed correctly, and even
1140 lines of length MAXLINELEN - 1 were treated as ``very long''.
1142 2004-12-07 14:15 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>
1144 * bzip2 needs a lot of input buffer space on some files
1145 before it can begin uncompressing. This makes file -z
