In addition to all that has been said.
e.g. 'tar' has it's own sense of valid output. The output of "tar -tf
archive.tar" where the archive contains files with filenames using "accented
characters" will look like:
fran\347ais/
portugu\352s/
This can't be used as input to any command I know of. There is a workaround
though.
$ echo -e 'fran\347ais/\n->\\<-backslash-test\nportugu\352s' | cl
français/
->\<-backslash-test
português
i.e.
$ tar -tf archive.tar | cl
will produce a human readable version of the archive contents.
Just slightly tested script appended below.
Please, *DO* comment - on its robustness in particular.
