This package provides the frontend of a compiler of magic(5) files
    into recognizers based on the fileutil::magic::rt recognizer runtime
    package. For the generator backed used by this compiler see the package
    fileutil::magic::cgen.









  
::fileutil::magic::cfront::compile path...

  
This command takes the paths of one or more files and directories and
      compiles all the files, and the files in all the directories into a single
      recognizer for all the file types specified in these files.
    
All the files have to be in the format specified by
      magic(5).

    
The result of the command is a Tcl script containing the
        generated recognizer.

  

  
::fileutil::magic::cfront::procdef procname
    path...

  
This command behaves like ::fileutil::magic::cfront::compile with
      regard to the specified path arguments, then wraps the resulting
      recognizer script into a procedure named procname, puts code
      setting up the namespace of procname in front, and returns the
      resulting script.

  
::fileutil::magic::cfront::install path...

  
This command uses ::fileutil::magic::cfront::procdef to compile
      each of the paths into a recognizer procedure and installs the result in
      the current interpreter.
    
The name of each new procedure is derived from the name of the
        file/directory used in its creation, with file/directory
        "FOO" causing the creation of procedure
        ::fileutil::magic::/FOO::run.
