$ file unti*

should do:

$ file *
Physik_Praktikum 6.xls:     Microsoft Office Document
Versuch 3a.doc:             Microsoft Office Document
Versuch 6a.doc:             Microsoft Office Document
Zugefestigkeit:             directory
Zugversuch.pdf:             PDF document, version 1.4

So file does know at least ms-word documents. I think

$ man file

or

$ man magic

wil tell a lot about it. MAc does have a BSD userland too and thus there
is magic (=the database for detecting file types).

Connecting applications and MIME types is a different thing.

$ file enum
enum: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped

Hmmmm... ;)
