DESCRIPTION

21       This package provides a command for the recognition of  file  types  in
22       pure Tcl. The output is standardized to mime-types.
23
24       The  core  part  of the recognizer was generated from a "magic(5)" file
25       containing the checks to perform to  recognize  files,  and  associated
26       mime-types.
27
28       ::fileutil::magic::mimetype filename
29              This command is similar to the command fileutil::fileType.
30
31              The  output  of the command for the specified file is not a list
32              of attributes describing the type of the file,  but  a  list  of
33              standard mime-types the file may have.
34
35              This  list  will  be empty if the type of the file is not recog‐
36              nized.
