The magic number in a binary terminfo file is the first 16-bits (two
bytes). Besides making it more reliable for the library to check that
- a file is terminfo, utilities such as <STRONG>file</STRONG> also use that to tell what
- the file-format is. System V defined more than one magic number, with
- 0433, 0435 as screen-dumps (see <STRONG><A HREF="scr_dump.5.html">scr_dump(5)</A></STRONG>). This implementation uses
- 01036 as a continuation of that sequence, but with a different high-
- order byte to avoid confusion.
