In fact, trying to apply to a text file, such as
/var/log/messages or /COPYRIGHT returns nothing --
[rt::resultv] seems to be an empty list.

Using the procedure on some other things -- like
picture files -- seems to work, however.

Some of these issues were previously fixed, and issues that apply to the current implementation are fixed in [62cc52d167857f94].  A welcome additional feature would be recognition of character sets and encodings.

Fixed the test failures. Committed to head.
Nothing done yet regarding /var/log/messages, copyright, etc.

file(1), when applied to a directory responds with 
"directory" -- try `file /' on any system. 
 
/var/log/message is readable to all on my system and 
yes, I did try other text file (/COPYRIGHT, for example). 
 
file(1) works properly: 
 
% file /COPYRIGHT  
/COPYRIGHT: ASCII English text

The directory failures seem to be BSD specific. Solaris
could have them too, as that allows to read a directory is
if it were a file.

Regarding /var/log/messages, what user were you ? IIRC this
file is usually read-only root, i.e. unaccessible to anybody
else. Right now I have now idea how fumagic will react if it
doesn't have the permissions to read a file. You could try
to make readable copies of messages and COPYRIGHT and try to
get results for that.

Have you also tried it on other text files, not only pictures ?
