Then you have a couple possible approaches you can try:
1) Look for a --format option or something similar, which lets you tell
file(1) exactly which information to print, and how to print it.
2) Look for a --all option that tells file(1) to print every single
piece of information it has. Then have your script parse this
output and reorganize it into the format you desire.
If neither of these options exists, then you'll have to call the
program twice, or more, as you're already doing.
