       ::fileutil::magic::cfront::install path...

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  package  provides	the  frontend of a compiler of magic(5) files into recognizers based on the fileutil::magic::rt recognizer runtime
       package. For the generator backed used by this compiler see the package fileutil::magic::cgen.

COMMANDS

       ::fileutil::magic::cfront::compile path...
	      This command takes the paths of one or more files and directories and compiles all the files, and the files in all  the  directories
	      into a single recognizer for all the file types specified in these files.

	      All the files have to be in the format specified by magic(5).

	      The result of the command is a Tcl script containing the generated recognizer.

       ::fileutil::magic::cfront::procdef procname path...
	      This  command  behaves like ::fileutil::magic::cfront::compile with regard to the specified path arguments, then wraps the resulting
	      recognizer script into a procedure named procname, puts code setting up the namespace of procname in front, and returns the  result-
	      ing script.

       ::fileutil::magic::cfront::install path...
	      This  command  uses  ::fileutil::magic::cfront::procdef  to  compile  each of the paths into a recognizer procedure and installs the
	      result in the current interpreter.

	      The name of each new procedure is derived from the name of the file/directory used in its creation, with file/directory "FOO"  caus-
	      ing the creation of procedure ::fileutil::magic::/FOO::run.
