Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

With the file command, you can obtain information on the file type of a specified file. File type recognition is controlled by the file /etc/magic, which contains the classification criteria. This command is used by apsfilter to permit automatic printing of different file types.

Packages by operating system

Compare recorded versions, then open a package for dependency, file, checksum, and repository evidence. Version strings are distribution-specific, not a ranking of newer software.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
