[Bug-cpio] Bug#557437: no mention of how to turn on/off escaping for -t/


From: jidanni
Subject: [Bug-cpio] Bug#557437: no mention of how to turn on/off escaping for -t/-tv
Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:05:25 +0800

Package: cpio
Version: 2.10-1
X-debbugs-cc:  address@hidden
Severity: wishlist

Regarding
`-v'
`--verbose'
     List the files processed, or with `-t', give an `ls -l' style
     table of contents listing.  In a verbose table of contents of a
     ustar archive, user and group names in the archive that do not
     exist on the local system are replaced by the names that
     correspond locally to the numeric UID and GID stored in the
     archive.

However, verbose has another effect,
$ <f cpio -t 980731/QGIS/登革熱02-09.shx
980731/QGIS/登革熱02-09.shx
103896 blocks
$ <f cpio -vt 980731/QGIS/登革熱02-09.shx

980731/QGIS/\265n\255\262\274\36602-09.shx
103896 blocks

As you see, it escapes the filenames.

And  there  is  no  documentation  on  how  to  turn  off  this  effect.

Nor how to turn it on for just plain -t.

At least document (there at -v on the man page) that there is this
effect -- and that there is no way to turn it on or off.
