'''ISO 19794-2''' is a format for storing a description of the minutae (differentiating features) of fingerprints. It is almost identical to, but incompatible with, [[ANSI 378]].<ref name="desc">https://templates.machinezoo.com/iso-19794-2-2005</ref>.

== Identification ==
ANSI 378 files will begin with {{magic|46 4D 52 00}}, which is [[ASCII]] "FMR" followed by a zero byte<ref>https://templates.machinezoo.com/ansi378-2004#magic</ref>. This is the same signature as ANSI 378; <ref>https://templates.machinezoo.com/ansi378-2004#totalbytes</ref> gives an algorithm to tell them apart.
