Bug ID: 238568
Summary: tar filenames encoding problem
Product: Base System
Version: 11.2-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: a...@playground.ru
How to reproduce:
```
#!/bin/sh
rm -Rf d e
mkdir d
touch d/`printf '\306'`
mkdir e
tar -c -f - d | tar -C e -x -f -
```
Doing this with empty $LANG leads to
```
: Can't translate pathname 'd/Ж' to UTF-8# sh test.sh
```
However, directory `d` proprely copied into `e`.
This error message disappears with `LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1`
I'm not exactly sure what this error message means, but anyway it is very
unclear and may be interpreted as "the file was not archived".
Also I don't know why tar even tries to do some charset translations. It should
be binary-safe against filenames by default.
