            Bug ID: 197866
           Summary: FreeBSD 10.1 file(1) utility returns 0 on error
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any

          Reporter: johan at stromnet.se

>From file(1) manpage:

RETURN CODE
     file returns 0 on success, and non-zero on error.

This seems to have broken on FreeBSD 10.1?

$ uname -v
FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p10 #0: Mon Oct 20 12:42:25 UTC 2014

$ file thisdoesnotexist
thisdoesnotexist: ERROR: cannot open `thisdoesnotexist' (No such file or
directory)
$ echo $?
1



$ uname -v
