file magic entry for VDI files - tells the file size & UUID
Posted: 4. Jun 2009, 01:37
Hi
Here is a simple entry for the ~/.magic file, which enables the file command to identify VDI files and print their size and uuid.
Example of use:
# file disk-image1.vdi
disk-image1.vdi: VirtualBox VDI Disk Image - Version 1.1 - Size: 10485760000 - UUID: 381c53ba-05ed-4de0-895c-4b47cf0bbb1e
