Hi,

Analogous to the "file" command in Unix, how can i find out the same for Windows.

Like x86, AMD64 or IA64

Need not be a single command, i just want to know the file type.

Thanksx86, amd64 and ia64 are not file types, they are processors. Most intel processors are x86, amd64 is an amd 64 BIT processor. File types are .exe .doc .xls etc.Windows is unlike Linux. It does not have file types in the same way. You can tell from the extension as hmar said.
We are in the wrong DIRECTIONS 

Basically the files that run on a x86 system will have that architecture.
Same THING applies for AMD64 & IA64 as well.

I want to find out a given file will run in which architecture?

Lemme know in case of any confusions ...depends on OS.
Yup,

But an AMD64 MACHINE can run an x86 file.
Then how do i find out.Maybe this would be clear if you tell us what you are trying to do in detail.

I think he needs to type "executable file header" into Google.
