Hi all,

I m using libmagic for my application on FreeBSD. I have some problems. libmagic doenst  return properly mimetype of file. For example :

system is FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE .

file --mime-type example.7z ---->   application/octet-stream

file example.7z ---->  7-zip archive data, version 0.3    and

 when i try to test same file on linux (ubuntu 12.04) :

file --mime-type example.7z  ---->   application/x-7z-compressed
file example.7z  ----> 7-zip archive data, version 0.3

why does not  FreeBSD behave like linux and if i need to update magic.mgc , how can i do that ? i need the result application/x-7z-compressed  after i type as command file --mime-type example.7z..

Any help  would be appreciated.

Thanks ... I.Yasar
