Bug ID: 27752
Summary: -f behavior differs from GNU gzip
Product: bzip2
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: bzip2
Assignee: nobody at sourceware dot org
Reporter: pgajdos at suse dot cz
CC: bzip2-devel at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Manual page says:
-f
bzip2 normally declines to decompress files which don't have the correct magic
header bytes. If forced (-f), however, it will pass such files through
unmodified. This is how GNU gzip behaves.
However:
$ echo hello world | bzip2 -dcf
$
in the opposite of:
$ echo hello world | gzip -dcf
hello world
$
