+Flags are comma-separated lists specified with the following macros:
+
+```
+%__NAME_flags
+%__NAME_exclude_flags
+```
+
+Currently, the following flags are supported (Added: 4.9.1):
+- *exeonly*: require executable bit set
+- *magic_and_path*: require both magic and path to match
+
+# GENERATORS
+
+A generator is an executable that reads filename(s) from stdin and writes

Oh, indeed, this is not to be confused with the multifile protocol.

Perhaps the point is more that a generator is required to consume all of standard input, and generators should not make assumptions about the number of files. In the default non-multifile protocol they only get fed one filename at a time, but the legacy mode and multifile mode do feed multiple files at a time.
