Detailed Description

routines for looking up magic numbers

Routines involved with handling "magic numbers" used to identify various in-memory data structures.

The one ugly thing about this strategy is that every BRL-CAD library needs to have it's magic numbers registered here. XXX What is needed is an extension mechanism. It is a shame that C does not provide a wextern (weak extern) declaration.
