Package: file
Version: 4.23-2
Severity: normal
After a pstring, relative offsets have an off-by-one error:
$ cat magic
0 ubelong <256
>3 pstring x "%s"
>>&0 ubelong x %x
$ hd testfile
00000000 00 00 00 04 6e 61 6d 65 12 34 56 78 |....name.4Vx|
0000000c
$ file -m magic testfile
testfile: "name" 65123456
The number should contain 12345678, not 65123456. The 65 comes from
the 'e' in "name", the last character in the pstring.
