On Unix boxes, this is a bad idea. The `classical' way to find out
the contents of a file is to use the `file' program which compares the
(beginning of the) file with some magic strings collected in a
database (normally in /usr/share/misc/magic). Examples:
$ file SY______
SY______: PostScript Type 1 font program data
$ file KozGoPro-Medium.otf
KozGoPro-Medium.otf: OpenType font data
