DESCRIPTION
       This package provides a command for the recognition of file types in pure Tcl.

       The  core  part	of the recognizer was generated from a "magic(5)" file containing the checks to perform to recognize files, and associated
       file-types.

       Beware! This recognizer is large, about 276 Kilobyte of generated Tcl code.

       ::fileutil::magic::filetype filename
	      This command is similar to the command fileutil::fileType.

	      The output of the command for the specified file is a string describing the type of the file.

	      This list will be empty if the type of the file is not recognized.

REFERENCES
       [1]    File(1) sources [ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/] This site contains the current sources for the file command,  including	the  magic
	      definitions used by it. The latter were used by us to generate this recognizer.
