First let me say thanks for providing this set of tools. Our tools and scripts
are currently only using gzip and its corresponding zgrep, etc. In trying to
switch to different compression methods I'm hoping to swap out gzip's zgrep
with zutil's zgrep and so on. This will allow the existing and legacy scripts
to continue on as if nothing has changed. These scripts are a huge amount of
code going back over a decade and used by thousands. Anyway, that's the
background.
I've found some unsupported command line options and the first three are
probably the biggest concern:
--silent
-P --perl-regexp
--colour
others are
-G --basic-regexp
-U --binary
-u --unix-byte-offsets
-T --initial-tab
-NUM
--line-buffered
--label=LABEL
Thank you,
Chris
