I'm pretty sure the file command is not GNU btw, and I can't find anything about a GNU version.. do you have a reference?

This is the authors website. Apparently yeah its not part of GNU utils, I had no idea, I knew it came with most Linux systems so I looked for the Debian package and found the site linked above.

My bad, I thought it was a part of coreutils and didn't check. I've only ever dug into the Linux utility and assumed.

Too late to edit!
