The magic(5) man page says:
string A string of bytes. The string type specification
can be optionally followed by /[Bbc]*. The "B"
flag compacts whitespace in the target, which
must contain at least one whitespace character.
If the magic has n consecutive blanks, the target
needs at least n consecutive blanks to match.
The "b" flag treats every blank in the target as
an optional blank. Finally the "c" flag, speci-
fies case insensitive matching: lowercase charac-
ters in the magic match both lower and upper case
characters in the target, whereas upper case
characters in the magic only match uppercase
characters in the target.
search A literal string search starting at the given
offset. The same modifier flags can be used as
for string patterns. The modifier flags (if any)
must be followed by /number the range, that is,
the number of positions at which the match will
be attempted, starting from the start offset.
This is suitable for searching larger binary
expressions with variable offsets, using \
escapes for special characters. The offset works
as for regex.
but in the source, magic/Magdir/sgml contains:
0 search/1/cwbt \<?xml XML document text
There are undocumented flags, and the flags are not followed
by /number.
