'file' does nothing interesting with the filename, it just opens it and
examines the contents.  For example,

file www/cgi-bin/files.py

will examine the Python source file, not run it.

So first in the interpreter, I ran

>>>> f = open("junk.txt", "w")
>>>> f.write(b'\xb6\xe3\xed\xf9\xf3\xf4\xef\xfc\xed\xef\xec\xe1 \xf3\xf5\xf3\xf4\xde\xec\xe1\xf4\xef\xf2\n')
>>>> f.close()

then at the bash prompt, I ran:

davea@think2:~$ file junk.txt 
junk.txt: ISO-8859 text
davea@think2:~$
