XFMTYPE(1)								XFM								XFMTYPE(1)

NAME

       xfmtype - xfm file type tester

SYNOPSIS

       xfmtype -m magic_file [-f] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  xfmtype  program reads a magic configuration file and tests each file in its command line to tell its type according to the configura-
       tion file.

       The format of the configuration file is the similar to magic(5) with the differences described in 0

OPTIONS

       -f file
	   Consider the following argument as a file, even if it begins with `-'.

       -m file
	   Specifies a configuration file. You can specify more than one configuration file with several -m flags. They are read in the  order	in
	   which  they	are found. Configuration files do not have effect until they are encountered in the command line. So, files to test in the
	   command line before that switch will not be affected by it.

BUILT IN TYPES

       If no rule matches a specified field or the type cannot be determined because of other reasons, one of the  following  built  in  types	is
       returned:

       inode/x-unreadable The file could not be read.

       inode/x-empty File size is zero.

       text/plain The file looks like ACSII.
       xfm will look into xfm_mime.type(5) for more guessing.

       application/octet-stream Other regular file.
       xfm will look into xfm_mime.type(5) for more guessing.

       inode/directory A directory.

       inode/chardevice A character device.

       inode/blockdevice A block device.

       inode/pipe A names pipe (fifo).

       inode/socket A socket.

       inode/default None of the above.

BUGS

       Bad configuration lines cause undefined behavior. In general they are silently ignored, but that is not guaranteed.
       There are no warning or error message except for the regular expression syntax.
       There should be a syntax checking mode.
       All of the above apply to xfm too.
