[PATCH] text-utils: minor fixes to magic()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Read the magic bytes into signed chars instead of vanilla chars in
order to ensure consistent results even on systems whose char type has
no sign.  Eliminate spurious parentheses in return statements.
Correct grammatical errors in comments.
