- Short: Knows and identifies over 70 different files in a device/directory
-
- ID 3.40
-
- ID when given a file as an argument will look at the file and try to
- identify that file from one of 73 known file types. If the -e option
- is given then some extra information may be given about the file.
-
- When ID is given a directory or device it will recusively search below
- that directory/device finding all files and trying to identify them.
- Again if the -e option is given then extra information will be given
- about all files that can be given extra information. If the -r option
- is given then ID will not search recursively but only in that directory.
- If the -s option is given then the statistics will be toggled. It is
- normally on but is toggled when the -e option is given.
