Description
It would be nice to provide support for the `file` command line utility in Unix platforms. As an example, it is cool to see the amount of metainfo that is provided for `.jpg` files:
```
$ file ~/WWW.YTS.AG.jpg
/home/francesc/WWW.YTS.AG.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, resolution (DPI), density 96x96, segment length 16, Exif Standard: [TIFF image data, big-endian, direntries=4, xresolution=62, yresolution=70, resolutionunit=2, software=paint.net 4.0.6], baseline, precision 8, 350x500, frames 3
```

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the disk-based frame handling in c-blosc2 and clarify how support for the Unix `file` utility should work, including the expected command behavior and output; completion should be defined by agreed requirements and tests.
