NAME
       fileutil::magic::filetype  - Procedures implementing file-type recogni‐
       tion

       package require fileutil::magic::filetype  ?1.0.2?

       ::fileutil::magic::filetype filename

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       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 recog‐
	      nized.

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