> +%__frob_requires %{_rpmconfigdir}/frobnize --requires
+%__frob_path \\.frob$
+%__frob_magic ^.* a frob file .*$
+```
+
+This file defines a file attribute named *frob* that matches any files with the
+_.frob_ suffix or a magic string containing "a frob file". It also defines two
+generators for that attribute that use the script _frobnize_ installed in the
+*%{\_rpmconfigdir}* directory, with the following contents:
+
+```
+#!/bin/bash
+# Frobnize script
+
+mode=$1
+file=$(head -n1)

This should use a while loop to make sure all the input gets read. It's also handy for testing purposes.

I'm also wondering if we should demo the multifile protocol here, because that's what anybody writing a new generator should be using really.
