Try:
$ which file nc | xargs ls -glo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 22035 Mar 18 08:18 /usr/bin/file
-rwxr-xr-x 1 24576 Mar 19  2013 /usr/bin/nc
$ which file nc | xargs file
/usr/bin/file: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows
/usr/bin/nc:   PE32+ executable (console) x86-64 (stripped to external PDB), for
MS Windows
$ printf "HEAD / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" | nc cygwin.com 80
