Summary |
0000051: Simplify magic database file format. |
|
Description |
The magic database file format is complex and is difficult to parse. To create parsers more easily, the magic database could be simplified with the following options (suggestions)
- All numeric values should now only accept, integer and hexadecimal values only.
- Negative offsets in files should use negative numbers instead of the Z character.
- Remove unused types such as istring and other such types.
Simplifying the magic database format shall permit more easily creation of parser for this format in several different languages.
