fileType
    "this returns a string describing the type of contents of
     the file. This is done using the unix 'file' command,
     (which usually is configurable by /etc/magic).
     On non-unix systems, this may return an empty string, not knowning
     about the contents.
     Since the returned string differs among systems (and language settings),
     it is only useful for user-information; NOT as a tag to be used by a program."
