assuming you already have the port, updated. compare the output of

/opt/local/bin/gfile /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/ libncurses.5.4.dylib

and

/usr/bin/file /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/libncurses. 5.4.dylib

that should answer your question.


also noone prevents the user from creating "alias file=gfile".

Log Message:
-----------
 * add prefix "g" to distinguish from /usr/bin/file

Why would users want to use /usr/bin/file once the file port is
installed? And if they really want to, why wouldn't they type
/usr/bin/file (or use an alias or whatever)?

IMHO, one of the goals of these ports is to replace the versions
provided by the system.
