# ber:  file(1) magic for several BER formats used in the mobile
# telecommunications industry (Georg Sauthoff)

# The file formats are standardized by the GSMA (GSM association).
# They are specified via ASN.1 schemas and some prose. Basic encoding
# rules (BER) is the used encoding. The formats are used for exchanging
# call data records (CDRs) between mobile operators and associated
# parties for roaming clearing purposes and fraud detection.

# The magic file covers:

# - TAP files (TD.57) - CDR batches and notifications
# - RAP files (TD.32) - return batches and acknowledgements
# - NRT files (TD.35) - CDR batches for 'near real time' processing
