+# freebsd: file(1) magic for FreeBSD objects
+#
+# All new-style FreeBSD magic numbers are in host byte order (i.e.,
+# little-endian on x86).
+#
+# XXX - this comes from the file "freebsd" in a recent FreeBSD version of
+# "file"; it, and the NetBSD stuff in "netbsd", appear to use different
+# schemes for distinguishing between executable images, shared libraries,
+# and object files.
+#
+# FreeBSD says:
+#
+# Regardless of whether it's pure, demand-paged, or none of the
+# above:
+#
+# if the entry point is < 4096, then it's a shared library if
+# the "has run-time loader information" bit is set, and is
+# position-independent if the "is position-independent" bit
+# is set;
+#
+# if the entry point is >= 4096 (or >4095, same thing), then it's
+# an executable, and is dynamically-linked if the "has run-time
+# loader information" bit is set.
+#
+# On x86, NetBSD says:
+#
+# If it's neither pure nor demand-paged:
+#
+# if it has the "has run-time loader information" bit set, it's
+# a dynamically-linked executable;
+#
+# if it doesn't have that bit set, then:
+#
+# if it has the "is position-independent" bit set, it's
+# position-independent;
+#
+# if the entry point is non-zero, it's an executable, otherwise
+# it's an object file.
+#
+# If it's pure:
+#
+# if it has the "has run-time loader information" bit set, it's
+# a dynamically-linked executable, otherwise it's just an
+# executable.
+#
+# If it's demand-paged:
+#
+# if it has the "has run-time loader information" bit set,
+# then:
+#
+# if the entry point is < 4096, it's a shared library;
+#
+# if the entry point is = 4096 or > 4096 (i.e., >= 4096),
+# it's a dynamically-linked executable);
+#
+# if it doesn't have the "has run-time loader information" bit
+# set, then it's just an executable.
+#
+# (On non-x86, NetBSD does much the same thing, except that it uses
+# 8192 on 68K - except for "68k4k", which is presumably "68K with 4K
+# pages - SPARC, and MIPS, presumably because Sun-3's and Sun-4's
+# had 8K pages; dunno about MIPS.)
+#
+# I suspect the two will differ only in perverse and uninteresting cases
+# ("shared" libraries that aren't demand-paged and whose pages probably
+# won't actually be shared, executables with entry points <4096).
+#
+# I leave it to those more familiar with FreeBSD and NetBSD to figure out
+# what the right answer is (although using ">4095", FreeBSD-style, is
+# probably better than separately checking for "=4096" and ">4096",
+# NetBSD-style). (The old "netbsd" file analyzed FreeBSD demand paged
+# executables using the NetBSD technique.)

+# XXX gross hack to identify core files
+# cores start with a struct tss; we take advantage of the following:
+# byte 7: highest byte of the kernel stack pointer, always 0xfe
+# 8/9: kernel (ring 0) ss value, always 0x0010
+# 10 - 27: ring 1 and 2 ss/esp, unused, thus always 0
+# 28: low order byte of the current PTD entry, always 0 since the
+# PTD is page-aligned
