I am actually not sure where you would send a bug report on the 'file'
utility. It is confusing I know but the fileutils does not include
the file command but instead other file related utilities which are
part of the GNU operating system. Most 'file' commands that I am
familiar with are derived from the BSD version of file. I am not
aware that GNU even has one.
You did not say but if you are using a distribution then I would check
with them and file a bug report that way. They will sort it out.
If you are using Debian then you can use the dpkg and apt commands to
get information.
apt-cache show file
If you are using an rpm based distribution you can check information
about it like this.
rpm -qi file
Also check /usr/share/doc/file or /usr/share/doc/file-{version} which
should contain information about installed file command.
Somewhere in there you should be able to find information about your
command and where you can go for more information.
