Do not attempt to use ~/.magic if running as root (or issetugid()).


# 1.36 24-Apr-2015 nicm

New implementation of the file(1) utility. This is a simplified,
modernised version with a nearly complete magic(5) parser but omits some
of the complex builtin tests (notably ELF) and has a reduced set of
options.

# 1.35 15-Feb-2015 bentley

Use "In" to mark up include files, instead of wrongly wrapping with Aq.

Aq is not the same as <> in non-ASCII situations, so this caused
incorrect output in some places. And it provided no semantics besides.

Missing '.It' in a list, aaron@ ok


# 1.12 10-Nov-2000 aaron

- Section shuffling: comply to the section ordering outlined in mdoc(7).
- Some .Nm trimming.
- .Sh AUTHOR -> .Sh AUTHORS
- Other miscellaneous fixes here and there.


# 1.11 09-Nov-2000 aaron

Change all option list specifications to ".Bl -tag -width Ds". Most man
pages just needed their -width parameter tweaked to "Ds", which provides
a nice width of 6 constant characters. For consistency more than anything.


Revision tags: OPENBSD_2_8_BASE
# 1.10 26-Jul-2000 ian

Rip out old dead legal notice, refer to BSD license. Clean up authors/history
section.


Revision tags: OPENBSD_2_7_BASE

Fix some formatting problems I missed before.

mdoc'ify; from FreeBSD, with many modifications by me.


# 1.7 04-Mar-2000 aaron

In Unix land we prefer "whitespace" to "white space" or "white-space". At
least, this is the impression I get from looking at a lot of Perl docs.


Revision tags: OPENBSD_2_6_BASE
# 1.6 05-Jun-1999 aaron

- remove trailing white space
- remove arguments from .Os macros
- remove arguments from .Nm macros, where appropriate
- some more Dq/Sq/Ql insanity
- still lots to do in the usr.bin tree... :/
