==The File command==<br />
<br />
The <code>file</code> command has been a part of unix distributions for many years.<br />
<br />
The [http://manpages.debian.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=file&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=Debian+6.0+squeeze&format=html&locale=en Debian manpage] gives an overview of its functionality<br />
<br />
The program source includes a database of heuristics for determining file types, which includes a variety of 'magic numbers' which characterise files. This database is not portable, but is potentially adaptable.<br />
<br />
