      file -N /Applications/Microsoft\ Excel.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft\ Excel

      Add a results table similar to:

      Return value Meaning
      Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 64-bit binary
      Mach-O executable i386 32-bit binary
      Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
      Mach-O executable i386      		 FAT binary (compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit processes)
