::fileutil::magic::filetype filename












This package provides a command for the recognition of file types
    in pure Tcl.


The core part of the recognizer was generated from a
    "magic(5)" file containing the checks to perform to recognize
    files, and associated file-types.


Beware! This recognizer is large, about 276 Kilobyte of
    generated Tcl code.



  
::fileutil::magic::filetype filename

  
This command is similar to the command fileutil::fileType.
    
The output of the command for the specified file is a string
        describing the type of the file.

    
This list will be empty if the type of the file is not
        recognized.

      the current sources for the file command, including the magic definitions
      used by it. The latter were used by us to generate this recognizer.
