Oh the wiki. Who'd have thought information would be found there.

Thanks

EDIT: So it's used in transactions to verify which network, btc, dvc, etc

It is basically used to know what network the message is coming from.

I'm using Abe to explore the block chain and I was looking in the db and saw there is a magic table with, well, magic numbers.

How are these used by bitcoin/what do they do?
