After fsck reattaches a file to directory lost&found,
it names it with the inode.  Is there a nice neat way
of determining what file this was originally?

Usually I use 'file' to learn more about it, then
try to deduce from the type or contents, what it is.

But if it's an object file, I usually search the string 
table (if it has one) or the symbol table, to try to
figure out what it is...

Isn't there a more sophistocated method to identify
an object?
