Hello,
the xz file format allows for concatenation of compressed files. However, pixz fails to decompress those files.
# create two archives: big and small: $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=1000 | pixz -1 -t > 1.pixz 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1024000 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.0022367 s, 458 MB/s $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=10 count=10 | pixz -1 -t > 2.pixz 10+0 records in 10+0 records out 100 bytes (100 B) copied, 6.8074e-05 s, 1.5 MB/s # decompression via plain xz works as expected: $ cat 1.pixz 2.pixz | xz -d | wc -c 1024100 # decompression via pixz fails: $ cat 1.pixz 2.pixz | pixz -t -d | wc -c can not seek in input: Illegal seek Error reading block header size 0
Tested with a version 4f079c3 directly taken from git.
Could you please have a look?
Thanks a lot!

Please close the issue -- I realized that "Illegal seek" is the problem here, not the concatenation.
Sorry bothering, and... thanks for maintaining such a nice tool!
