NAME
       missidentify - Find executable files without an executable extension

SYNOPSIS
       missidentify [-rqablv] [-s|-S len] [-Vh] [FILES]

DESCRIPTION
       Miss Identify looks at the header of every file it processes and deter‐
       mines if it is a PE executable (Windows	executable).  Such  files  can
       include programs, device drivers, and DLLs. By default the program dis‐
       plays the filename if the extension of the file does not match  one  of
       the  known  executable  extensions  (.exe,  .com, .sys, or .dll). Other
       options can make the program display the	 filename  of  all  executable
       files.

       -r     Enables recursive mode. All subdirectories are traversed. Please
	      note that recursive mode cannot be used to examine all files  of
	      a	 given	file  extension.  For example, calling missidentify -r
	      *.txt will examine all files in directories that end in .txt.

       -q     Silent mode. All error messages except fatal  errors  are	 surp‐
	      pressed.

       -a     Display filenames of all executables

       -b     Enables bare mode. Strips any leading directory information from
	      displayed filenames.  This flag may not be used  in  conjunction
	      with the -l flag.

       -l     Enables  relative	 file  paths. Instead of printing the absolute
	      path for each file, displays the relative file path as indicated
	      on  the  command line.  This flag may not be used in conjunction
	      with the -b flag.

       -v     Verbose mode. Displays the name of every 10th file as a progress
	      indicator.

       -s-S len
	      Prints  strings of length len with each filename. With lowercase
	      letter, puts filename before string. With uppercase letter, puts
	      strings before filename.

       -h     Show a help screen and exit.

       -V     Show the version number and exit.

BUGS
       The program can be fooled by any file with more than 1024 bytes between
       the MZ header and the PE header.
