Probably won't make it into 5.3, though. > Another problem, gnu tar output -v output while extracting on stdout, > but BSD tar output this on stderr ("tar -xvzf arch.tar.gz | head -n1" no > longer work) Not always. ;-) Sometimes gnutar outputs to stderr, sometimes to stdout. POSIX.1-1997 clearly specifies stderr. (Yet another place where gtar ignores the POSIX standards... ;-/ I suggest you try tar -xvzf arch.tar.gz |& head -n1 or tar -xvzf arch.tar.gz 2>&1 | head -n1 which will work correctly with either gtar or bsdtar.
