 1 | # uti
 2 | 
 3 | A command-line utility that prints the
 4 | [Uniform Type Identifier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Type_Identifier)
 5 | for the files provided as an argument.
 6 | 
 7 | ## Requirements
 8 | 
 9 | - macOS 10.4+
10 | 
11 | ## Usage
12 | 
13 | ```terminal
14 | $ uti Hello.swift
15 | public.swift-source
16 | ```
17 | 
18 | Results for multiple path arguments are printed on separate lines
19 | in the order they're provided:
20 | 
21 | ```terminal
22 | $ uti index.html screen.css app.js
23 | public.html
24 | public.css
25 | com.netscape.javascript-source
26 | ```
27 | 
28 | If any of the provided file path arguments are invalid,
29 | the command exits with status code `1`
30 | and prints a message to standard error.
31 | 
32 | ```terminal
33 | $ uti invalid
34 | error: invalid is not a file or directory
35 | ```
36 | 
37 | You can combine `uti` with other Unix commands.
38 | For example,
39 | to list the UTI for each file in a directory,
40 | you might invoke the `find` command like so:
41 | 
42 | ```terminal
43 | $ ls .
44 | Xcode_11.xip
45 | Xcode.app
46 | 
47 | $ find . -exec uti {} +
48 | com.apple.xip-archive
49 | com.apple.application-bundle
50 | ```
51 | 
52 | ## Installation
53 | 
54 | ### Homebrew
55 | 
56 | Run the following command to install using [homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
57 | 
58 | ```terminal
59 | $ brew install nshipster/formulae/uti
60 | ```
61 | 
62 | ### Manually
63 | 
64 | Run the following commands to build and install manually:
65 | 
66 | ```terminal
67 | $ git clone https://github.com/NSHipster/uti.git
68 | $ cd uti
69 | $ make install
70 | ```
71 | 
72 | ## Additional Details
73 | 
74 | `uti` delegates to the [`mdls`] system command,
75 | requesting the `kMDItemContentType` metadata attribute
76 | and processing the output.
