How did you do that?
[09:59:25 /tmp]$ file --help
Usage: file [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Determine file type of FILEs.
-m, --magic-file LIST use LIST as a colon-separated list of magic
number files
-z, --uncompress try to look inside compressed files
-b, --brief do not prepend filenames to output lines
-c, --checking-printout print the parsed form of the magic file, use in
conjunction with -m to debug a new magic file
before installing it
-f, --files-from FILE read the filenames to be examined from FILE
-L, --dereference causes symlinks to be followed
-n, --no-buffer do not buffer output
-s, --special-files treat special (block/char devices) files as
ordinary ones
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit

[10:31:58 /tmp]$ gunzip -tvl currently_compressed_tkman_changelog.gz
