why not check input_seekable where it is set - ~60 lines above?
I was trying to keep related code together. Thanks for all the reviews, which I've fixed locally. To provide an argument for why this shouldn't go in, the following is equivalent: python -c 'import os; os.lseek(0,0,os.SEEK_CUR)' 2>/dev/null < /the/file && dd if=/the/file ... So if the need is esoteric enough the above might suffice? I'll leave it stew for a while longer. thanks, Pádraig.
