+``file.magic`` and ``file.magic`` is that ``filemagic`` assumes ``nocase``
+by default. In the example below the two signatures are considered

+version/implementation of libmagic. Different versions and

+Additionally there are varying Suricata performance impacts
+based on the version and implementation of libmagic.

 ``file.magic`` supports multiple buffer matching, see :doc:`multi-buffer-matching`.
