.TH MISSIDENTIFY "1" "v1.0 \- 20 Feb 2008" "Jesse Kornblum" "Jesse Kornblum"

.SH NAME
missidentify - Find executable files without an executable extension

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B missidentify [\-rqablv] [-s|-S len] [\-Vh] [FILES]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Miss Identify looks at the header of every file it processes and determines
if it is a PE executable (Windows executable). Such files can include programs,
device drivers, and DLLs. By default the program displays 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.

.TP
\fB\-r\fR
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 \fIdirectories\fR that end in .txt. 

.TP
\fB\-q\fR
Silent mode. All error messages except fatal errors are surppressed.

.TP
\fB\-a\fR
Display filenames of all executables

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

.TP
\fB\-l\fR
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.

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

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

.TP
\fB\-h\fR
Show a help screen and exit.

.TP
\fB\-V\fR
Show the version number and exit.

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