/etc is not a filename!

Well, it is obviously filename (in the broad sense of Unix), it is just filename of a file for which show_file cannot return information. Probably "not a regular file" or similar would be more clear; even better would be to actually return information that is possible in this case. Thanks.

Yes, changing it in "is not a regular file!" would definitely be better. Fixed in develop branch.

Thanks for testing and reporting this.
