Agreed using file is a good option, but be carefull as the output of file is pretty system specific and you code may not work on another OS or updated version of your OS.

On my OS DOS format files are reported by file as:
Code:
test: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

While unix formatted files are reported as:
Code:
test_unix:ASCII text

And zip files appear as:
Code:
test.zip: Zip archive data

The error strings will have the following format: [pid]:error:[error code]:[library name]:[function name]:[reason string]:[file name]:[line]:[optional text message] error code is an 8 digit hexadecimal number. library name, function name and reason string are ASCII text, as is optional text message if one was set for the respective error code. If there is no text string registered for the given error code, the error string will contain the numeric code. RETURN VALUES
ERR_print_errors() and ERR_print_errors_fp() return no values. SEE ALSO
err(3), ERR_error_string(3), ERR_get_error(3), ERR_load_crypto_strings(3), SSL_load_error_strings(3) HISTORY
