> Determine file type.

> More information: <https://manned.org/file>.
|
|
|
|
- Give a description of the type of the specified file. Works fine for files with no file extension:
|
|
|
|
`file {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Look inside a zipped file and determine the file type(s) inside:
|
|
|
|
`file -z {{foo.zip}}`
|
|
|
|
- Allow file to work with special or device files:
|
|
|
|
`file -s {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Don't stop at first file type match; keep going until the end of the file:
|
|
|
|
`file -k {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Determine the MIME encoding type of a file:
|
|
|
|
`file -i {{path/to/file}}`
