DESCRIPTION

This package provides the generator backend for a compiler of magic(5) files
  into recognizers based on the fileutil::magic::rt recognizer runtime
  package. For the compiler frontend using this generator see the package
  fileutil::magic::cfront.

COMMANDS



  
::fileutil::magic::cgen::2tree script

  
This command converts the recognizer specified by the
      script into a tree and returns the object command of that tree as
      its result. It uses the package struct::tree for the tree.
    
 

    The script is in the format specified by magic(5).





  
::fileutil::magic::cgen::treedump tree

  
This command takes a tree as generated by
      ::fileutil::magic::cgen::2tree and returns a string encoding the
      tree for human consumption, to aid in debugging.





  
::fileutil::magic::cgen::treegen tree
    node

  
This command takes a tree as generated by
      ::fileutil::magic::cgen::2tree and returns a Tcl script, the
      recognizer for the file types represented by the sub-tree rooted at the
      node. The generated script makes extensive use of the commands
      provided by the recognizer runtime package fileutil::magic::rt to
      perform its duties.
