rar2fs --help #16

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Some output is sent to standard output and some is sent to standard error.

rar2fs v1.17.2
FUSE library version: 2.9.2
fusermount version: 2.9.2
using FUSE kernel interface version 7.19

Linux GXT3 3.9-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.9.8-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

What is is *real* issue here?
Some of the output is from libfuse.so (stderr) and some is from rar2fs (stdout).
Would it help if ouput from rar2fs is also sent to stderr?
The mix of stderr and stdout seems common between many FUSE based applications, 
have a look at e.g. sshfs. I can not change the fact that FUSE help text is 
sent to stderr. If stderr is causing problems an issue report need to be filed 
towards the fuse user space library.

Then this is not error by you. My apologies.

No need for apologies.
Should be possible to file a report on FUSE user space library. At least to get 
a comment from the development team. Otherwise not much I can do I am afraid, 
other than possibly align rar2fs to also use stderr for output?

This has been verified as a bug in fuse user space library.
Case closed.

No.  It's a bug, and I've just pushed a fix to the master branch.  I'm
not sure it's worth fixing for 2.X versions as it could, in theory,
cause things to break.

Yeah.

Thanks,
