--- 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.
