    # Magic data for mod_mime_magic Apache module (originally for file(1) command)
# The module is described in /manual/mod/mod_mime_magic.html
#
# The format is 4-5 columns:
#    Column #1: byte number to begin checking from, ">" indicates continuation
#    Column #2: type of data to match
#    Column #3: contents of data to match
#    Column #4: MIME type of result
#    Column #5: MIME encoding of result (optional)
