"""
This script is used to sort files by their type. 
It reads all the files in the provided directory and splits them into different 
directories based on their type. Mainly, it classifies the files into the following types:
- PE Binaries
- Mach-O Binaries
- ELF Binaries
- APK 
- Other Files

It outputs the count of files for each file extension and file type.

Command line example:
nohup python3 sort_files_by_type.py /mnt/samples/consilience/malware/vx-bazaar-expanded/Bazaar.2020.12 \
    /mnt/samples/consilience/malware/_sorted_samples/vx-bazaar/2020/ > \
