25    <para>One method that <command>file</command> uses for identifying a given
26    file is to run <quote>magic tests</quote>, where it compares the file's
27    contents to data in <quote>magic files</quote>, which contain information
28    about a number of standard file formats. When File is compiled, it will run
29    <command>file -C</command> to combine the information from the
30    magic files in its source tree into a single <filename>magic.mgc</filename>
31    file, which it will use after it is installed. When we build File in
32    <xref linkend="chapter-temp-system"/>, it will be cross-compiled, so it
33    will not be able to run the <command>file</command> program that it just
34    built, which means that we need one that will run on the host system.</para>
