Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2017-02-15 19:20:16 UTC
It would be nice to add zstd to the supported decompressors.

Any reason you're naming it 'zst' instead of 'zstd'?

Renamed it to zstd and fixed the magic number. Added Zstandard/LZ4 skippable frames as in  https://github.com/file/file/blob/master/magic/Magdir/compress#L223

Comment 5 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2017-02-21 07:16:01 UTC
Do we really need to support files that begin with a skippable frame? If so, are such files distinguishable from LZ4 files? The frames are documented here:

https://github.com/facebook/zstd/blob/v1.1.3/doc/zstd_compression_format.md#skippable-frames

Apparently the first 4 bytes of a skippable frame can range from 0x184D2A50 to 0x184D2A5F, so we'd have to adjust the regex to account for that.

Okay, let's only support non-skippable frames first. I think it's easier to add it later than to deprecate.

Fixed the comment as well.
