Followup-For: Bug #38542

I am having problems with these rules too, and there seems to be no
way to turn them off. I can see how they might be useful e.g. in code
analysis, but for other uses (e.g. determining MIME type for serving
files from a web application) they are a positive nuisance: all sorts
of text-ish files end up being identified as program source. Of
course, I want REAL program sources (ending in the correct suffixes,
normally) to be identified as such, but equally non-suffixed files
that aren't text (e.g. scripts) should also be correctly identified,
so I can't rely on suffixes alone.

I attach a (tested!) patch (code and docs!) to add a new option
--no-ascmagic/-A.

Package: file
Version: 4.17-4
Followup-For: Bug #38542

My original patch didn't quite do what I wanted because it turned off
all text detection, clearly not a good idea!

Instead, I've made only the non-language detection routines run when
-A is supplied.

I attach the updated patch.

Note that the documentation is now correct, but the code is arguably
confusing is the way it deactivates only part of file_ascmagic. If
this is a problem I'd be happy to work on it.

The Debian bug should be closed only when a fixed version is available
in Debian.

The ChangeLog for 4.20 doesn't mention any patch from you; do you know
if it was included there?  If not, do you know which "next release" it
will be in?

My patch was not used upstream. Instead, the author added the -e

more fine-grained and flexible way.

Followup-For: Bug #38542

My patch was not used upstream. Instead, the author added the -e
(exclude) flag, which can be used to achieve the same result, but in a
more fine-grained and flexible way.

It turns out that although the feature has been added to allow the various 
built-in tests to be turned off, it's broken in 4.20 (I don't think it can 
be made to work, and trying to use it can make file segfault).

I attach a patch against file.c from 4.20 to fix the command-line parsing. 
It does two things: first, it adds "e:" to the short options string; 
secondly, it changes the argument flag of the long option 'exclude' from 0 
to 1 (because --exclude takes an argument).

Under the documentation for the -e switch, one of the options is listed as 
"token", but in the code it's "tokens".

Package: file
Version: 4.20-3
Followup-For: Bug #38542

In case there's some confusion, although Christos has fixed the bug
upstream, the 4.20 sources have a buggy -e switch, and my patch (or
equivalent) needs to be applied in order to get it to work. Since it's
trivial, and also since you've put so much work in applying other
patches to 4.20, it would be really good if you could also make this
switch work.

I could supply the files but they are all standard and would just fill up the

==> /etc/wine.conf <==

;; Each section has the following format:

;; Path=xxx       (Unix path for drive root)

No clues there.
