https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227706 Benedict Reuschling <bcr@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|New |Closed Resolution|--- |Overcome By Events CC| |bcr@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #3 from Benedict Reuschling <bcr@FreeBSD.org> --- The EXIT STATUS section on current file(1) versions includes this: EXIT STATUS file will exit with 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if an error was encountered. The following errors cause diagnostic messages, but don't affect the program exit code (as POSIX requires), unless -E is specified: • A file cannot be found • There is no permission to read a file • The file type cannot be determined I think that covers the issue of this PR. Thanks for submitting it, it was fixed in the meantime. Sorry it took so long to close it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
