Hi folks,

Here, I'm reporting a bug, maybe it is solved upstream, but it's already on Fedora 16. Below shows the bug,

It appears when testing https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/commands/ade/file/file_test.sh#L292

the file command can't recognize below file as a "C program" file but just a ASSCII text.

Quoted 9 lines

cat > $LTPTMP/cprog.c <<EOF
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
printf("Hello Hell\n");
exit(0);
}
EOF

But when I add a line like "#include <stdlib.h>", it can recognize to a "C program" file, this problem doesn't appear on RHEL6 but appears recently.

And just test use the files under the source of "file" command like,

Quoted 2 lines
$ file src/file.c 
src/file.c: ASCII English text

Do you think this is a bug, or I missed something?

Can you file command guys give me some idea about this?

Thanks in advance,
Wanlong Gao

Resend! The file command mail list kicked my mail out since I'm not in the list. Now, I'm in.

hi, Wanlong

I checked the issue one weeks ago, downloaded different version from ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/, then I found the issue just occurred in 5.07, 5.08, 5.09, 5.10 upstream version, and fixed
in 5.11, and I'm sure fedora 17 Beta(file version is 5.10) have fixed the issue.
