Richard W.M. Jones c9bd9d9cb1 file: Use -S option with -z
The file(1) manual suggests using -S (disable seccomp) with -z since
the set of system calls provided by the seccomp policy does not allow
the subprocess to run.  This is obvious when you use file -z on a
compressed file on a Linux distro that enables file's seccomp policy
(Arch does this, Fedora does not):

  $ file -zbsL lib-i586.so.zst
  Bad system call

I also fixed some incorrect text in the manual.

Thanks: Toolybird for pointing to this fix
