No, the bug is that while 'gzip' and 'grep' are C programs, 'zgrep' is a shell script, and the option parsing within that shell script has not yet been tweaked to correctly parse options in the same way that 'grep' would. You have found a valid bug, and hopefully someone will take the time to revisit the shell script parser in zgrep (I unfortunately couldn't unravel it in the 2 minutes that I spent on the problem, and currently have more pressing matters competing for my attention, so hopefully someone else can step in and help). -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
