Here are some hints how to recognize the kind of executable files, but that isn't completly reliable on iteself. Just because the first two bytes of a file contain a certain signature doesn't mean it is an executable file -- it could be a plain text file or some other kind of binary file.
you will have to learn a great deal about the format of executable and object files in order to accurately detect which format a given file is in. I have no idea how to do it and I'm not really interested enough to learn.
