MAGIC

MAGIC is an atom holding magic number/string aimed to identify the data following it. It is a concatenation of ASCII("KEKS") and 12-byte magic, padded with zeros if necessary. Zero bytes should not be used in it, except for trailing ones.

It is intended to be prepended to the KEKS-encoded data in files.
