Why file command is used in unix?
The 'file' command in Unix attempts to guess what type of file you are looking at by reading the first several sections of the file and comparing it to a list of known contents for files. It is a useful command if you just want to know what type of file something is without having to examine it yourself. The command is not perfect because it does not detect all types of files but it does a reasonable job of guessing. It is used because in Unix there are no file extension types to tell us what kind of file a given file might be; you have to look inside the file to tell how it might be used.
