fileutil::magic::cgen - Generator core for compiler of magic(5) files

       This  document,  and  the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems.  Please
       report    such    in    the    category    fileutil::magic     of     the     TcllibTrackers
       [http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist].   Please  also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for
       either package and/or documentation.

       When proposing code changes, please provide unifieddiffs, i.e the output of diff-u.

       Note further that attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. Attachments  can  be  made  by
       going  to the Edit form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left-most button

::fileutil::magic::cgen::2treescript
              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::treedumptree
              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::treegentreenode
              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.

       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.
