[LTP] [BUG] I'm reporting a bug about file

[Wanlong Gao <gaowanlong@cn.fujitsu.com>]

Hi folks,

Here, I'm reporting a bug, maybe it is solved upstream,
but it's already on Fedora 16. Below shows the bug,

It appears when testing https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/commands/ade/file/file_test.sh#L292

the file command can't recognize below file as a "C program" file but just a ASSCII text.

> cat > $LTPTMP/cprog.c <<EOF
> #include <stdio.h>
> 
> main()
> {
> printf("Hello Hell\n");
> exit(0);
> }
> EOF





But when I add a line like "#include <stdlib.h>", it can recognize to a "C program" file,
this problem doesn't appear on RHEL6 but appears recently.

And just test use the files under the source of "file" command like,

> $ file src/file.c 
> src/file.c: ASCII English text






Do you think this is a bug, or I missed something?

Can you file command guys give me some idea about this?



Thanks in advance,
Wanlong Gao
