-

string is given it will brand
file to be of type
string, otherwise it will simply display the branding of
file.
EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails if a file does not exist, is too short, fails to brand properly, or the brand requested is not one of the known types and the
-f option is not set.
