    FILE(1)             UNIX Programmer's Manual		  FILE(1)

    NAME
         file - determine file type

    SYNOPSIS
         file file ...

    DESCRIPTION
         File performs a series of tests on each argument in an
         attempt to classify it.  If an argument appears to be ascii,
         file examines the first 512 bytes and tries to guess its
         language.

    BUGS
         It often makes mistakes.  In particular it often suggests
         that command files are C programs.

         Does not recognize Pascal or LISP.
