USAGE
r.filetype filename
DESCRIPTION
r.filetype reads the first few bytes of the file and tries to determine the type. Upon completion, r.filetype returns a status code and prints a message corresponding to the file type it has recognized. If the file type is unknown or the file is empty or non existent, a negative code will be returned. Here is a list of the possible returned status code:
-3: file does not exist -2: empty file -1: unknown file type 1: RPN standard random 1989 2: RPN standard sequential 1989 3: RPN standard sequential FORTRAN 1989 4: CCRN 5: CCRN-RPN 6: BURP 7: GRIB 8: BUFR 9: BLOK 10: FORTRAN binary 11: COMPRESS 12: GIF89 13: GIF87 14: IRIS 15: JPG 16: KMW 17: PBM 18: PCL 19: PCX 20: PDSVICAR 21: PM 22: PPM 23: PS 24: KMW_ 25: RRBX 26: SUNRAS 27: TIFF 28: UTAHRLE 29: XBM 30: XWD 31: ASCII 32: BMP

NOTES
If r.filetype does not recognize a particular file type, it does a system call to the UNIX "file" command.
