[Bug-tar] gtar not handling stdout redirection correctly

[Tuan Doan]

Hello,

 

The problem exists in old version 1.13 as well as the latest version 1.15.1

 

 

spatial:/tmp[784]> ~/mysrc/gtar --version                  
tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1

 

spatial:/tmp[781]> ~/mysrc/gtar -czf - ~/mysrc > test2.tar.gz
/export/home/tdoan/mysrc/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names
spatial:/tmp[782]> ls -lac test2.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--   1 tdoan    staff    4720640 Nov  4 17:44 test2.tar.gz

 

spatial:/tmp[784]> ~/mysrc/gtar -tf test2.tar.gz; echo $?
    :

export/home/tdoan/mysrc/tcnotexe.tcl
export/home/tdoan/mysrc/gup.c

 

gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored
/export/home/tdoan/mysrc/gtar: Child returned status 2
/export/home/tdoan/mysrc/gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
2

 

If not redirecting stdout when creating the compressed tar file, I do not get the "trailing gargage ignored"

message.  Is it possible to have the return code to be 0?

 

Thanks.
