Package: file
Version: 4.12-1
Severity: wishlist
The magic(5) manpage states:
lelong A four-byte value (on most systems) in
little-endian byte order.
I was trying to write a rule to match a 32 bit little-endian
integer and I was concerned "lelong" would not cut it due to
the "on most systems" clause. However, I tried it on 32 and
64 bit systems, both little and big endian, and it seemed to
work ok. A quick inspection of the source suggests that file
uses the typedefs from inttypes.h, and perhaps when that was
implemented the documentation was not updated or something.
So, this bug is either "please implement defined-width types
in file" or the rather easier "please update the manpages to
reflect the fact [bl]e{short,long} _are_ defined-width".
