To list the types of all files in Linux, you can use the file
command. The file
command is a built-in utility in most Linux distributions that is used to determine the file type of a given file. Here's how you can use it:
Open the terminal and navigate to the directory that contains the files you want to list the types of.
Type the following command to list the types of all files in the directory:
file *
This command will display the file type of each file in the directory.
Alternatively, if you want to list the types of all files, including hidden files and files in subdirectories, you can use the find
command with the file
command as follows:
bashfind . -type f -exec file {} \;
This command will search for all files (-type f
) in the current directory and its subdirectories (.
) and execute the file
command on each file found (-exec file {} \;
). The output will display the file type of each file found.
