Magic Number in linux
Hi,
I want to know why a special files have the magic number in end of it?(most files have their magic number on top of the file) Thanks |
Maybe because the first bytes of those files are reserved for other uses. On the other hand, the magic number specification provides the ability to specify an offset and the offset can be retrieved from the file, as clearly stated in man magic:
