Use it to detect DOS files.  From the man page:

    If the lines of a file are terminated by CR, CRLF, or NEL, instead of
    the Unix-standard LF, this will be reported.

Or parse file's output for the identifier for your binaries, if they are of
predictable types.

What is the problem you are trying to solve?
