Hi,

According to "man file", "RETURN CODE" section:
--------
file returns 0 on success, and non-zero on error.
--------

But this is what happens:
--------------
$> file non-existent-file
non-existent: cannot open `non-existent' (No such file or directory)
$> echo $?
0
--------------

The exit code should not be zero.

bye
Nicola
