Solution(By Examveda Team)

In Unix, the file command is used to determine the type of a file by examining its contents and context. When you run file followed by a filename as an argument, it analyzes the file and provides information about its type, such as whether it is a text file, binary file, directory, symbolic link, etc.
So, file is the command used to identify the type of file by context.
