 Introduction
 ************
 
    This manual is incomplete: No attempt is made to explain basic file
 concepts in a way suitable for novices.  Thus, if you are interested,
 please get involved in improving this manual.  The entire GNU community
 will benefit.
 
    The GNU file utilities are mostly compatible with the POSIX.2
 standard.
 
    Please report bugs to <bug-fileutils@gnu.org>.  Remember to include
 the version number, machine architecture, input files, and any other
 information needed to reproduce the bug: your input, what you expected,
 what you got, and why it is wrong.  Diffs are welcome, but please
 include a description of the problem as well, since this is sometimes
 difficult to infer.  Bugs (gcc)Bugs.
 
    This manual was originally derived from the Unix man pages in the
 distribution, which were written by David MacKenzie and updated by Jim
 Meyering.  What you are reading now is the authoritative documentation
 for these utilities;  the man pages are no longer being maintained.
 Franc,ois Pinard did the initial conversion to Texinfo format.  Karl
 Berry did the indexing, some reorganization, and editing of the results.
 Richard Stallman contributed his usual invaluable insights to the
 overall process.
