| Summary | 0000011: Differing results from magic_file() and magic_buffer() | ||||
| Description | The recent changes in file added inspection on the stat() system call result. This is of course not possible when magic_buffer() was call which does not know about the underlying file, if any. As one of several results, the test suite of Adam Hupp's python-magic breaks as it silently compares the result of both functions and fails on any difference: https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic/issues/173 Can you please add a warning to the documentation of magic_buffer() this might have a different result/less detailed result? One example is some ELF files where the executable bit is taken into consideration. And about that one, the gzip magic checks for the file size only AFAICT. Given the buffer size provided by any magic_buffer() caller, it should be possible to create a synthetic stat record containing at least that information. Cheers, Christoph | ||||
