Hi, i'm not sure if this counts as bug, and i wasn't able to find something about it.
lzip seems to somehow "block" I/O in a process feeding it data via pipe. Not the data stream itself, but data written to files or pipes other than stdin and out. Like cat big_file | pv | lzip >big_file.lz The "blocking intervals" get longer with higher compression levels. I also tested with a python script, reading and writing data to stdin/out works, other "stuff" too, but output to other channels gets blocked. Nothing like this happends "behind" lzip. Tried out versions 1.16, 1.18 and 1.21. Daniel _______________________________________________ Lzip-bug mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lzip-bug
