Touch the file? What is this, a joke? I might as well just create a new one and call it a day.

Haha, 'whatis'? I haven't heard that one in ages. It's like the utility that time forgot.

Hmm, 'tar -t' might work, but it's overkill for just determining the file type. I'll save that one for when I need to extract the contents.

Is -l? Really? That's not even a valid command. I think I'll pass on that one.

The 'file' command is the obvious choice here. It'll give me a quick overview of the file's contents without having to dig deeper.

But 'file mybackup' command provides detailed information about the file type, so I still think it's the best option.

I disagree, I believe the correct utility is 'tar -t mybackup'.
