[Bug 259197] xzgrep should present a message when fed a non-recognised file format

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=259197 --- Comment #11 from Daniel Tameling <tamelingdaniel@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Craig Leres from comment #10) I'm confused. I don't know how you want to address this issue. 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
