            Bug ID: 278286
           Summary: file(1) man page fixes
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

         Component: Manual Pages

Bug 1: "... or the files in the directory /usr/share/misc/magic ..."

/usr/share/misc/magic is a file, not a directory.

Bug 2: "In addition, if ... $HOME/.magic exists, it will be used in preference
to the system magic files."

No.  $HOME/.magic is "in addition to", not "in preference to".  If you meant to
say that $HOME/.magic is checked first, before the system file, allowing one to
override what the system file would have said, then say checked first, but it's
definitely not "instead of".
