file means "The maximum size of files written by the shell and its children", so the answer is yes. For alternative on getting the file size you can use "stat", sample output :
Quote:
[sysgate@sysgate ~]$ stat data/unixbased.gif
File: `data/unixbased.gif'
Size: 7385 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 4096 regular file
