Re: [Bug-tar] [patch v3] Bug / question in tar

Hi Pavel,

    should we take the detection of /dev/null output
    as an OK exception?

That seems like a different issue, not addressed by the change, or the
coding standards in general.

Overall, it seems to me it should be ok if a program wants to do
something special for /dev/null.  Certainly that is the reality of what
quite a few programs do.

best,
karl
