Hi jerry,
$ file --brief --dereference --mime-type test/mhbuild/nulls
binary
Could you tell us about that file(1). I found a site for Mageia
packages, but it didn't have one called `file' so I wasn't sure what
package contained the command, and where it got the source from, what
version, etc.
Here, with Arch Linux's file 5.31-1 package, I get
$ file --brief --dereference --mime-type test/mhbuild/nulls
application/octet-stream
$ file --version
file-5.31
magic file from /usr/share/file/misc/magic
$
--
Cheers, Ralph.
