Package: libmagic-mgc Version: 1:5.30-1+deb9u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I'm using "file" on a set of files to determine which are plain text files. Recently a part of the text files did not get detected: $ file foo.txt foo.txt: Message Sequence Chart (chart) When looking at the files, all of them started with "msc", e.g. "mschneider" or "mschmidt" magic/Magdir/communications contains: # MSC (message sequence charts) are a formal description technique, # described in ITU-T Z.120, mainly used for communication protocols. # Added by W. Borgert <[email protected]>. 0 string mscdocument Message Sequence Chart (document) 0 string msc Message Sequence Chart (chart) 0 string submsc Message Sequence Chart (subchart) If I understand ITU-T Z.120 correctly, the MSC chart files always start with "msc<space><sometext>", and at least for my use case it would be enough to change the magic to "msc " (with a space as the fourth character), but if you want to check more, you could search for the ";" at the end of statements. Thank you for your work on Debian!
