::fileutil::magic::filetype filename
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.

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.
