| Summary | 0000267: File detects CPIO files as "application/octet-stream" | ||||
| Description | Using --mime with CPIO files made by bsdtar, seems to detected incorrectly. In particular: file --mime foo.cpio foo.cpio: application/octet-stream; charset=binary On the other hand, when omitting the --mime it is detected properly: file foo.cpio foo.cpio: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC) The file foo.cpio was created using the following: echo test > test-file LANG=C bsdtar --uid 0 --gid 0 --null -cf - --format=newc test-file > foo.cpio | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
In case it matters, xdg-mime correctly detects the file: xdg-mime query filetype foo.cpio application/x-cpio |
