Most TODOs live in the TODO section of doc/file.man (i.e. file(1)).
|
|
They are more visible there, so please add any further TODOs to that
|
|
file, not here. More speculative material can live here.
|
|
|
|
(This change was made when Reuben Thomas noticed that all the bugs
|
|
listed in the BUGS section of the man page had been fixed!)

It would be nice to simplify file considerably. For example,
|
|
reimplement the apprentice and non-pattern magic methods in Python,
|
|
and compile the magic patterns to a giant regex (or something similar;
|
|
maybe using Ragel (http://www.complang.org/ragel/)) so that only a
|
|
small amount of C is needed (because fast execution is typically only
|
|
required for soft magic, not the more detailed information given by
|
|
hard-wired routines). In this regard, note that hplip, which is
|
|
BSD-licensed, has a magic reimplementation in Python.
|
|
|
|
Read the kerberos magic entry for more ideas.
