#' Parse a filename
#'
#' Attempts to extract meaningful information from a filename, typically the
#' date and time a recording started.
#'
#' @details
#' ## Determining the format
#' It is sometimes impossible to accurately determine the format of
#' a filename, e.g. when an eight-digit 'AudioMoth HEX' only contains numbers it
#' could be confused with a YYYYMMDD format. If a list of filenames is given
#' and the "match" format is specified then an effort will be made to determine
#' the most likely format that applies to all filenames.
#'
#' ## Supported formats
#' * **AudioMoth** - The newer format for AudioMoth devices consists of a
#'   standard YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.wav format. Specifying 'AudioMoth' forces a call
#'   to the `audiomoth()` function from the `seewave` package
#'   \insertCite{seewave2008}{sonicscrewdriver}.
#' * **AudioMoth HEX** - Older format for AudioMoth devices consisting of eight
#'   hexadecimal characters. Conversion is handled by a call to
#'   `seewave::audiomoth()`.
#' * **timestamp** - A standard date-time format. Uses the R standard origin of
#'   1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
#' * **Wildlife Acoustics SM2** - Can also be used for Wildlife Acoustics SM4
#'   devices. Conversion is handled by a call to `seewave::songmeter()`.
#' * **Wildlife Acoustics SM3** - Conversion is handled by a call to
#'   `seewave::songmeter()`.
#' * **YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS** - A standard date-time format.
#'
#' @param file A filename (or list of filenames).
#' @param format Optionally force a given format (see Details). If NULL (default)
#'  an attempt is made to automatically detect the format for each file. If "match"
#'  and a list of filenames is given then an attempt will be made to find a format
#'  that matches all files. This may give incorrect results if the filename is
#'  ambiguous (see Details).
#' @param timezone Optionally set a timezone.
#' @return A list of file, type of match, datetime.
#' \cr\cr
#' It is possible to determine additional properties from some files, these will
#' be added to the list.
