It is highly encouraged to add +one each time a bug is found, and each time new magic is added. Each +test consists of three files: + + TEST.magic + TEST.testfile + TEST.result + +where TEST is the base name of the test, TEST.magic contains the magic +used, TEST.testfile is the input, and TEST.result is the desired +output from file. + +It suffices to add a triplet of test files to the directory to have +them included in "make check". |
