 I've checked on current.
 The file format is described in magic(5), as it should be.
 I only found references to magic(5), not 4 or 3.
 I've changed the internally displayed name of the libmagic man page to
 match its file name, so it's now "libmagic(3)", which should avoid the
 confusion.
 
 I haven't looked at 5.0, since I don't have one running.
