| Summary | 0000184: files starting with "*** " misidentified as diff | ||||
| Description | Files starting with "*** " are misidentified as diff. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | $ echo '*** Title' | file - /dev/stdin: diff output, ASCII text | ||||
| Additional Information | The use of "***" is quite general in text files and allows one to highlight text, thus it should not be used alone to detect diff output. I had reported this bug 6 years ago in the Debian BTS (for file 5.17): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=744924 | ||||
