4 # sereal: file(1) magic the Sereal binary serialization format

11 # I'd have liked to do the byte&0xF0 matching against 0, 1, 2 ... by
12 # doing (byte&0xF0)>>4 here, but unfortunately that's not
13 # supported. So when we print out a message about an unknown format
14 # we'll print out e.g. 0x30 instead of the more human-readable
17 # See https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/commit/35372ae01d in the
18 # Sereal.git repository for test Sereal data.
