DESCRIPTION


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

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.
