Hi.

OK, that's better.

For text files, there are only guesses. Such files are essentially unstructured, as opposed to executable binary files.

You could use command head to visually inspect the file.

If your interest is determining the content automatically, I suggest you first look at man file -- file is a command that attempts to classify files based on content -- then come back to discuss it as necessary ... cheers, drl

kawari_encode

KAWARI8(6)							   Games Manual 							KAWARI8(6)

NAME

       kawari_encode, kawari_encode2, kawari_decode2 -- kawari 8.0 encoder/decoder

SYNOPSIS

       kawari_encode [file ...]

       kawari_encode2 [file ...]

       kawari_decode2 [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the kawari command.

       This  manual  page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has docu-
       mentation written in HTML format. For detailed descriptions, see doc-base.

       kawari_encode encodes kawari scripts to an encoded file. So the users for the scripts cannot easily read the content. It  can  be  used	to
       protect the content of Kawari scripts.  It takes several text files as inputs and converts them to .kaw files separately.

       kawari_encode2  is an advanced kawari_encode. It is able to assign a symmetric key like some encrypting systems. The key affects the encod-
       ing system. Users need the key to decode them.

       kawari_decode2 is a decoder of the .kaw files. It takes several .kaw files and convert them back to .txt files. If the kaw files is encoded
       by kawari_encode2, the key must be provided correctly for decoding.
