NAME
file - determine format of file
SYNOPSIS
file files
DESCRIPTION
File will examine each of its arguments and give a guess as
to the contents of the file. It is the only program that
will give device numbers of special files.
BUGS
If the file is not instantly recognized, its type is given
as `unknown'. There should be some heuristic to recognize
source file `signatures' in each of the standard languages.
