Package: file Version: 4.23-2 Severity: normal After a pstring, relative offsets have an off-by-one error:
$ cat magic 0 ubelong <256 >3 pstring x "%s" >>&0 ubelong x %x $ hd testfile 00000000 00 00 00 04 6e 61 6d 65 12 34 56 78 |....name.4Vx| 0000000c $ file -m magic testfile testfile: "name" 65123456 The number should contain 12345678, not 65123456. The 65 comes from the 'e' in "name", the last character in the pstring. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages file depends on: ii libc6 2.7-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libmagic1 4.23-2 File type determination library us file recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
