Obviously the ankle-biter was incapable of reading the ACTUAL REQUEST
the OP made:
"Anyone knows an utility that I could pipe to the "find" command
in order to detect video, music, games ... etc files ?
I need a tool that could "inspect" inside files because many users
rename those filename to "inoffensive" ones :-)"
NOTE WELL that the OP was _smart_enough_ -- unlike the prior poster -- to
ask about something that _can_ be done mechanically.
Furthermore, it was _explicit_ in the actual suggestion that it only
produced a list possible 'suspects' -- It did _not_ provide any indication
of status -- 'legal', or otherwise.
