| Description | Hi, We are facing an issue with the file command -z argument, which should report back the content type of the compressed file. With gzip files: # file -z ls.gz ls.gz: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV) (gzip compressed data, was "ls", last modified: Wed May 21 12:48:33 2025, from Unix) With zstd files: # file -z ls.zst ls.zst: empty (Zstandard compressed data (v0.8+), Dictionary ID: None) It should state the content type of the compressed ls command, but is returning empty. # file --version file-5.44 magic file from /etc/magic:/usr/share/misc/magic | ||||
