Testing shows (e.g. "gunzip -c \ /usr/share/consolefonts/iso01.f16.psf.gz > file") 1) command line from manual works 2) options -f and -o work 3) if the command reads from standard input according to the manual, an error is issued: stdin: Illegal seek NOTE: The word "illegal" should not be used in error messages in computer codes. Instead the word "invalid" is appropriate. See "GNU Coding Standards" in "www.gnu.org/prep/standards/". "Chapter 6.1 GNU Manuals", second last paragraph.
