Summary	0000613: [regression] file is not working with a single-line custom magic file
Description	After the following commit: https://github.com/file/file/commit/2038ad4664d721cbc37ec8ea1f5dfddfef157d2e file no longer accepts a single-line custom magic file. The question is whether this is the desired behavior.
Steps To Reproduce	Create a single-line custom magic file: # echo '0 string MYFILEFORMAT My file format' > /var/tmp/magic Compile the magic file: # file -C -m /var/tmp/magic Create a test file and run the file command: # echo 'MYFILEFORMAT' > /var/tmp/testfile # ./src/file -m magic.mgc /var/tmp/testfile Output: magic.mgc, 1: Warning: offset `�' invalid file: Too few magic entries 2 in `magic.mgc'
Additional Information	Everything works as expected if a custom magic file contains at least two entries.
Tags	No tags attached.
