+
+ The file command is "a file type guesser", that is, a command-line
+ tool that tells you in words what kind of data a file contains. Unlike
+ most GUI systems, command-line UNIX systems - with this program
+ leading the charge - don't rely on filename extentions to tell you the
+ type of a file, but look at the file's actual contents. This is, of
+ course, more reliable, but requires a bit of I/O.
