NAME
filetype - file type reporting programSYNOPSIS
filetype [ -s filetype-spec file ] [ -h, --help ] [ -v, --version ] [ -d, --debug ] [ --log-stdout ] [ --log-stderr ] [ --log-syslog ] [ -f namefile ] file ...DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents version 0.0.1 of the filetype command. filetype tries to classify each file given to it. The file(s) to classify can be given on the command line as usual file arguments (i.e. after the options), or in a file where the files to classify are listed on separate lines, or in standard input. filetype tests against a binary database with information about file types, which should be located at /etc/filetype.spec unless you specify otherwise with the -s option. If the file is known, information about it is printed on standard output. Otherwise the tag "Unknown" is used.OPTIONS
