Description Jörg Schilling 2017-05-18 16:59:47 UTC

uncompress -c on FreeBSD currently disallows to specify more than one
file name argument but POSIX requires this.

Hi,

Thanks for the report. I agree for uncompress -c.

Allowing multiple filenames does not seem to make sense for compress -c, since the resulting stream cannot be decompressed.

Log:
  compress: Allow uncompress -c with multiple pathnames, as required by POSIX.

  Per POSIX, allow passing multiple pathnames to uncompress -c, concatenating
  the uncompressed data.

  Passing multiple pathnames to compress -c remains disallowed, since the
  result cannot be decompressed.
