To check the file type in Linux, you can use the command line tool ‘file’. This will tell you what type of file it is and what type of data it contains. To use this tool, open a terminal window and type ‘file’ followed by the name of the file you want to check. For example, if the file is called ‘example.txt’, you would type ‘file example.txt’. This will output information about the file type.
