Package: cdparanoia
Version: 3.10+debian~pre0-4
Severity: normal
Man page says:
-z --never-skip[=max_retries]
Do not accept any skips; retry forever if needed. An optional maximum
number of retries can be specified; for comparison, default without -z
is currently 20.
It's not clear from the above whether these:
--never-skip=5
-z 5
...are equivalent, as is common in standard utils:
% seq 10 | tail --lines 1 # long switch, with space
10
% seq 10 | tail --lines=1 # long switch, with equals sign.
10
% seq 10 | tail -n 1 # short switch, with space
10
% seq 10 | tail -n=1 # short switch, with equals sign.
tail: =1: invalid number of lines
While 'cdparanoia' "-z 5" doesn't work as expected, "-z=5" does.
Either 'man cdparanoia' should clarify the current syntax, or the syntax
behavior should better conform to custom. Supposing that 'tail' was the
standard to follow and its "short switch, with equals sign" gives an
error, then 'cdparanoia' can't emulate that without risking broken
scripts. Maybe the 'tail' syntax itself is bad? Adding the "short
switch, with space" to 'cdparanoia' probably wouldn't break anything.
How this bug was found. I ran this:
# grab one sector, output to '/tmp/bah0.wav'.
f=0 ; cdparanoia -z 1 '1[0:0:0.'$f']-[0:0:0.'$(($f + 1))']'
/tmp/bah$f.wav
...and had to figure out why it was ripping a whole track, instead of
one or two sectors, and why the output file had the wrong name.
Hope this helps...
