https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=259197 --- Comment #12 from Craig Leres <leres@freebsd.org> --- > I'm confused. I don't know how you want to address this issue. Possibly because I haven't said yet; it is my way to understand the problem and desired behavior before proposing solutions. > The "File format not recognized" message comes from xz when it > encounters a file it can't decompress, which includes text files. > Once you add -f you're not getting that message anymore. And xz > cannot distinguish between bzip2 files and regular text files. > That's what I care about; I still want to be able to pass regular > files to xzgrep without getting errors. That's helpful. So far I have: - should complain when fed the wrong compressed file (e.g. xzgrep vs. non xz file) - should "work" with plain (uncompressed) files -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
