# file
|
||
determine file / [MIME](../../../files/MIME.md) type
|
||
Usage: `file [OPTION] [FILE]...`
|
||
|
||
## Options
|
||
| Option | Description |
|
||
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `-b, --brief` | Do not prepend filenames to output lines (brief mode) |
|
||
| `-i, --mime` | Causes the file command to output mime type strings rather than the more traditional human readable ones. Thus it may say ‘text/plain; charset=us-ascii’ rather than "ASCII text" | |
