Branch: pkgsrc-2021Q3, Version: 5.40, Package name: file-5.40, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

File tests each argument in an attempt to classify it. There are
three sets of tests, performed in this order: file system tests,
magic number tests, and language tests.

This package also includes the magic number recognition libraries.

This implementation of file(1) is the standard "file" command for
Linux, *BSD, and other systems. It (as well as the magic file)
was originally written by Ian Darwin and is now maintained by a
group of developers lead by Christos Zoulas.
