You can emulate --keep with 'gzip -c ... > file.gz'; but a quick look at other compression utilities shows that it is a common option: $ xz --help | grep keep -k, --keep keep (don't delete) input files $ bzip2 --help 2>&1 | grep keep -k --keep keep (don't delete) input files I'm in favor of the addition, but with the short option -k rather than -K. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
