DESCRIPTION
       This package provides a command for the recognition of file types in
       pure Tcl. The output is standardized to mime-types.

       The core part of the recognizer was generated from a "magic(5)" file
       containing the checks to perform to recognize files, and associated
       mime-types.

       ::fileutil::magic::mimetype filename
              This command is similar to the command fileutil::fileType.

              The output of the command for the specified file is not a list
              of attributes describing the type of the file, but a list of
              standard mime-types the file may have.

              This list will be empty if the type of the file is not
              recognized.
