Oi, `file` is a BSD tool, not a GNU tool.

    That's not the `file` command, it's tools for working with files: chgrp, chmod, mv, rm, etc. These have all been folded into coreutils these days, which also does not contain the `file` utility. Ubuntu and practically all other Linux distros ship BSD's file utility.

      My apologies, I mis-spoke. I've flogged myself mercilessly and shall not make that same mistake again ;)

        No worries :) Nice talk, good work to the team at MS!
