Question

(I cannot just use file command, please look at sample runs)

Write a shell script called filetype.bash that accepts either
a filename or a directory name. Then, your script should display
its type on the screen.


A sample run of the script will be like below:
$ ./filetype
Usage: filetype file_or_dir.

This is another sample run.
$ ./filetype /etc
/etc is a directory.

This is another sample run.
$ ./filetype /etc/passwd
/etc/passwd is a file.

This is another sample run.
$ ./filetype /dev/audio
/dev/audio is neither a file nor a directory.
