The feature is now available in the git repository. It will be in 5.1.2alpha, but I don't know when it will be released. It won't be in 5.0.x because I won't add any new features into a stable branch. The info is also in xz -lvv --robot output so it should be easy to parse. The idea of --robot is to make parsing simple and stable across xz versions. I didn't update the man page yet. -- Lasse Collin | IRC: Larhzu @ IRCnet & Freenode
