I didn't know about the "lziprecover --list". I thought this is only for

Funnily enough, lziprecover is the most capable decompressor for the
lzip format. It is currently the only one featuring random access to the
data in multimember files:
http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/manual/lziprecover_manual.html#Invoking-lziprecover
-D range
--range-decompress=range
Decompress only a range of bytes starting at decompressed byte
position 'begin' and up to byte position 'end - 1'. This option provides
random access to the data in multimember files; it only decompresses the
members containing the desired data. In order to guarantee the
correctness of the data produced, all members containing any part of the
desired data are decompressed and their integrity is verified.
Well, that's fine for me, I can simply use "lziprecover --list" when I
need the information. No need to double that code to lzip, if it makes
portability problems.
Good, thanks. For the next version I'll either implement --list in lzip
or document to use lziprecover instead.
Best regards,
Antonio.
