#
is expected to contain support for recognising Storable files
out-of-the-box, in addition to other kinds of Perl files.
+You can also use the following functions to extract the file header
+information from Storable images:
+
+=over
+
+=item $info = Storable::file_magic( $filename )
+
+If the given file is a Storable image return a hash describing it. If
+the file is readable, but not a Storable image return C<undef>. If
+the file does not exist or is unreadable then croak.
+
+The hash returned has the following elements:
+
+=over
+
+=item C<version>
+
+This returns the file format version. It is a string like "2.7".
+
+Note that this version number is not the same as the version number of
+the Storable module itself. For instance Storable v0.7 create files
+in format v2.0 and Storable v2.15 create files in format v2.7. The
+file format version number only increment when additional features
+that would confuse older versions of the module are added.
+
+Files older than v2.0 will have the one of the version numbers "-1",
+"0" or "1". No minor number was used at that time.
+
+=item C<version_nv>
+
+This returns the file format version as number. It is a string like
+"2.007". This value is suitable for numeric comparisons.
+
+The constant function C<Storable::BIN_VERSION_NV> returns a comparable
+number that represent the highest file version number that this
+version of Storable fully support (but see discussion of
+C<$Storable::accept_future_minor> above). The constant
+C<Storable::BIN_WRITE_VERSION_NV> function returns what file version
+is written and might be less than C<Storable::BIN_VERSION_NV> in some
+configuations.
+
+=item C<major>, C<minor>
+
+This also returns the file format version. If the version is "2.7"
+then major would be 2 and minor would be 7. The minor element is
+missing for when major is less than 2.
+
+=item C<hdrsize>
+
+The is the number of bytes that the Storable header occupies.
+
+=item C<netorder>
+
+This is TRUE if the image store data in network order. This means
+that it was created with nstore() or similar.
+
+=item C<byteorder>
+
+This is only present when C<netorder> is FALSE. It is the
+$Config{byteorder} string of the perl that created this image. It is
+a string like "1234" (32 bit little endian) or "87654321" (64 bit big
+endian). This must match the current perl for the image to be
+readable by Storable.
+
+=item C<intsize>, C<longsize>, C<ptrsize>, C<nvsize>
+
+These are only present when C<netorder> is FALSE. These are the sizes of
+various C datatypes of the perl that created this image. These must
+match the current perl for the image to be readable by Storable.
+
+The C<nvsize> element is only present for file format v2.2 and
+higher.
+
+=item C<file>
+
+The name of the file.
+
+=back
+
+=item $info = Storable::read_magic( $buffer )
+
+=item $info = Storable::read_magic( $buffer, $must_be_file )
+
+The $buffer should be a Storable image or the first few bytes of it.
+If $buffer starts with a Storable header, then a hash describing the
+image is returned, otherwise C<undef> is returned.
+
+The hash has the same structure as the one returned by
+Storable::file_magic(). The C<file> element is true if the image is a
+file image.
+
+If the $must_be_file argument is provided and is TRUE, then return
+C<undef> unless the image looks like it belongs to a file dump.
+
+The maximum size of a Storable header is currently 21 bytes. If the
+provided $buffer is only the first part of a Storable image it should
+at least be this long to ensure that read_magic() will recognize it as
+such.
