+// newHdrBuf returns a buffer of suitable size to
+// read bytes from a file header or magic number.
+//
+// File header is *USUALLY* 261 bytes at the start
+// of a file; magic number can be much less than

+//
+// To cover both cases, this function returns a buffer
+// suitable for whichever is smallest: the first 261
+// bytes of the file, or the whole file.
