        zgrep: fix "binary file matches" mislabeling
        Problem reported by Jim Avera (Bug#31280).
        This became more of an issue when GNU grep 3.5 (2020) started sending
        "binary file matches" diagnostics to stderr instead of to stdout.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add zgrep-binary.
        * tests/zgrep-binary: New test.
        * zgrep.in (args): New var, to accumulate args separately
        from grep command, so we can prepend args if need be.
        Most uses of 'grep' changed to use 'args' instead, or also.
        (with_filename): Set to 1 if more than one file and -h not given;
        this simplifies later code.
        (gnuish_grep): New var; evaluates to true if grep supports
        -H and --label options, as is true for GNU and FreeBSD grep.
        Append -H to 'grep' if outputting file names with GNUish grep,
        and use --label with GNUish grep unless reading from stdin,
        as that’s safer and more efficient than relabeling with 'sed'.

        maint: use C locale more often
        * gzexe.in, zdiff.in, zgrep.in:
        Run expr and sed in the C locale when it might help to avoid
        undefined behavior on non-GNU platforms.
        * sample/zfile, znew.in: Run in the C locale, for simplicity and
        to avoid undefined behavior on non-GNU platforms.

        gzexe: optimize out a grep
        * gzexe.in: Avoid an unnecessary invocation of ‘grep’,
        by using sed instead.  Also, look only for at-most-3-digit numbers,
        for consistency with the rest of the script.

        gzip: mention when fixed bugs were introduced

        zgrep: port to POSIX sed
        * zgrep.in (res): When escaping the file name do not rely on GNU
        sed’s extension to POSIX with respect to s/.../\n/.  Instead, use
        features that should also work with AIX and/or Solaris sed.  This is
        simpler anyway, and would have prevented the recently-fixed bug.

2022-04-07  Jim Meyering  <meyering@fb.com>

        zgrep: add NEWS and tests for this exploitable bug
        * tests/zgrep-abuse: New file, based on PoC by cleemy desu wayo.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
        * NEWS: Mention the exploit.
        The bug appears to have been present since the beginning.

2022-04-06  Lasse Collin  <lasse.collin@tukaani.org>

        zgrep: avoid exploit via multi-newline file names
        * zgrep.in: The issue with the old code is that with multiple
        newlines, the N-command will read the second line of input,
        then the s-commands will be skipped because it's not the end
        of the file yet, then a new sed cycle starts and the pattern
        space is printed and emptied. So only the last line or two get
        escaped. This patch makes sed read all lines into the pattern
        space and then do the escaping.

        This vulnerability was discovered by:
        cleemy desu wayo working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative

2022-04-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        gzip: fix i386 port
        * deflate.c (prev_length, match_start, max_chain_length, good_match):
        Make these extern instead of static, reverting part of the
        2021-12-01T21:46:36Z!eggert@cs.ucla.edu patch.  These symbols are
        used by i386 asm, and so must be extern at least for i386.

        maint: pacify GCC with recent x86 glibc
        * configure.ac (WERROR_CFLAGS): Disable -Wtype-limits,
        due to a false alarm on platforms where 'long' is 32 bits
        and time_t is 64-bit, such as recent glibc on x86.

2022-04-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        maint: update from Gnulib
        * bootstrap, tests/init.sh: Copy manually from current Gnulib.
        * lib/.gitignore, m4/.gitignore: Update as per current Gnulib.

        build: update gnulib submodule to latest

        build: support --program-prefix etc.
        Problem reported by Antonio Diaz Diaz via Dagobert Michelsen in:
        https://bugs.gnu.org/16876
        * Makefile.am (.in): Substitute for 'gzip', 'zdiff', 'zgrep'.
        ($(GZIP_TRANSFORMED), $(ZDIFF_TRANSFORMED), $(ZGREP_TRANSFORMED)):
        New rules to build forwarding shell scripts, if needed.
        Add these files to BUILT_SOURCES and MOSTLY_CLEANFILES if needed.
        * configure.ac (GZIP_TRANSFORMED, ZDIFF_TRANSFORMED, ZGREP_TRANSFORMED):
        New substituted vars.
        (GZIP_IS_TRANSFORMED, ZDIFF_IS_TRANSFORMED, ZGREP_IS_TRANSFORMED):
        New Automake conditions.
        * gunzip.in, gzexe.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zegrep.in:
        * zfgrep.in, zforce.in, zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:

        tests: port list-big test to macOS 12.1
        * tests/list-big: Use dd, not truncate, to create a big file.

        zmore: don't assume benign PAGER in testing
        * tests/help-version (zmore_setup): Unset PAGER so that we test
        'more', not whatever the tester has in its PAGER environment
        variable.  This works around a problem I found when I ran
        'PAGER=less make check' on a platform that lacked 'less'.

        zless: install only on platforms with 'less'
        Problem reported by Michael Felt (Bug#30029).
        * Makefile.am (ZLESS_MAN, ZLESS_PROG): New macros.
        (man_MANS, bin_SCRIPTS): Use them.
        * configure.ac: Check for 'less'.
        * tests/Makefile.am (ZLESS_PROG): New macro.

2022-01-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@fb.com>

        maint: avoid new syntax-check failures
        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add sc_indent, to skip it.
        Otherwise, "make syntax-check" would fail.

        build: disable some expensive compiler warnings by default
        * configure.ac (gl_GCC_VERSION_IFELSE): Copy from coreutils.
        (gcc-warnings): Update from coreutils.

        doc: document gzip -l change
        * NEWS, doc/gzip.texi (Invoking gzip), gzip.1 (gunzip):
        Document recent change.

        gzip: gzip -l now outputs accurate size
        gzip -l now decompresses to see how long the uncompressed file was.
        This fixes what is by far the most common bug report for gzip.
        It has a significant performance cost, but it’s worth it nowadays.
        * gzip.c (main): -l now sets 'test' too.  All uses of
        'test' changed.
        (treat_stdin, treat_file): Call do_list after decompressing,
        so that the length is known.
        (do_list): Omit arg IFD, since it is no longer needed.
        All callers changed.  Get the CRC and uncompressed size
        from input_crc and bytes_out instead of using lseek.
        * tests/list-big: New test.
        * unzip.c (unzip): Set unzip_crc before returning.
        * util.c (write_buf): If 'test', output nothing.
        Update bytes_out with output byte count, regardless of 'test'.
        All callers changed.

2021-12-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        maint: reduce module coupling
        If a symbol is extern but never used by another module, make it
        static instead, or remove it if it is not used anywhere.
        * Makefile.am (gzip_SOURCES): Remove lzw.c.
        * bits.c (bi_buf, bi_valid) [!IBM_Z_DFLTCC]:
        * deflate.c (prev_length, match_start, max_chain_length)
        (good_match, lm_init):
        * gzip.c (verbose) [!DEBUG]:
        * unlzw.c (block_mode):
        Now static.
        * gzip.c (help, main, do_lzw):
        * revision.h:
        Simplify by assuming !LZW.
        * util.c (setcrc): Define only if IBM_Z_DFLTCC.
        (make_simple_name): Define only if NO_MULTIPLE_DOTS.

        tests: port still better to NetBSD
        * tests/hufts: Ignore more lines starting with ‘+’ in stderr.

        tests: port better to NetBSD
        * tests/hufts, tests/zdiff:
        Ignore lines starting with ‘+’ in stderr.
        The NetBSD shell outputs them after set -x.

        tests: update help-version from coreutils
        This merges coreutils/tests/misc/help-version.sh into
        gzip/tests/help-version; they're now identical except
        for the initial init.sh configuration line.  This
        should port better to NetBSD.

        maint: update .gitignore files
        * .gitignore, lib/.gitignore, m4/.gitignore:
        Bring up to date.  Remove duplicates.  Sort.

2019-04-02  Ilya Leoshkevich  <iii@linux.ibm.com>

        bug#34918: [PATCH] Add support for IBM Z hardware-accelerated deflate
        Future versions of IBM Z mainframes will provide DFLTCC instruction,
        which implements deflate algorithm in hardware with estimated
        compression and decompression performance orders of magnitude faster
        than the current gzip and ratio comparable with that of level 1.

        This patch adds DFLTCC support to gzip. In order to enable it, the
        following build commands should be used:

            $ ./configure --enable-dfltcc
            $ make

        When built like this, gzip would compress in hardware on level 1, and in
        software on all other levels. Decompression will always happen in
        hardware. In order to enable DFLTCC compression for levels 1-6 (i.e. to
        make it used by default) one could either add -DDFLTCC_LEVEL_MASK=0x7e
        at compile time, or set the environment variable DFLTCC_LEVEL_MASK to
        0x7e at run time.

        Two DFLTCC compression calls produce the same results only when they
        both are made on machines of the same generation, and when the
        respective buffers have the same offset relative to the start of the
        page. Therefore care should be taken when using hardware compression
        when reproducible results are desired. One such use case - reproducible
        software builds - is handled explicitly: when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
        environment variable is set, the hardware compression is disabled.

        This patch tries to add DFLTCC support in a least intrusive way.
        All SystemZ-specific code was placed into a separate file, but
        unfortunately there is still a noticeable amount of changes in the
        main gzip code. Below is the summary of those changes.

        DFLTCC will refuse to write an End-of-block Symbol if there is no input
        data, thus in some cases it is necessary to do this manually. In order
        to achieve this, bi_buf and bi_valid were promoted to extern variables.

        lm_init() function moves the input buffer into the window, which is not
        desirable for DFLTCC. Therefore, its invocation was moved to
        software-only deflate(). In addition to initializing the window, this
        function also used to convert compression level to flags, which is still
        needed for DFLTCC. This responsibility was handed off to zip() function.

        To achieve maximum performance with DFLTCC, inbuf and outbuf must be
        256k big and page-aligned. Additionally, for DFLTCC to work at all, the
        window must be page-aligned.

        In addition to compression, DFLTCC computes CRC-32 checksum, therefore,
        whenever it's used, software checksumming needs to be suppressed and its
        results replaced by those of dfltcc. This is achieved by introducing the
        new getcrc() and setcrc() functions.

        Unlike the current software implementation, DFLTCC decompresses data
        into the output buffer, and not the window. Therefore, just like
        flushing the window, flushing the output buffer must honor the test
        flag.

        Finally, znew-k test assumes that "znew -K" would not convert the test
        .Z file to .gz, which is not the case with DFLTCC. Since this is not the
        main point of the test, this assumption was relaxed.

        maint: fix gzip-specific syntax-check rule
        * cfg.mk (sc_gzip_copyright_check): This rule had two problems.
        It was failing erroneously (the copyright date in gzip.c is fine),
        yet it was complaining.  The first problem is that the rule's
        diagnostic mentioned the wrong file: lib/version-etc.c, rather than
        ./gzip.c. The second problem is that it specified this file name
        via "in_files" rather than the "in_vc_files" variable.

        gzip: simplify by closing ourselves
        This simplifies the previous fix, by avoiding the use of the
        closein module.  That module was problematic, as gzip normally
        does not use stdio for output and never uses it for input.
        Also, it is a heavyweight module, as it drags many files into lib
        (c-ctype.c, c-ctype.h, closein.c, closein.h, closeout.c, closeout.h,
        close-stream.c, close-stream.h, config.charset, c-strcasecmp.c,
        c-strcaseeq.h, c-strcase.h, c-strncasecmp.c, fpending.c, fpending.h,
        freadahead.c, freadahead.h, localcharset.c, localcharset.h, mbrtowc.c,
        mbsinit.c, quotearg.c, quotearg.h, quote.h, ref-add.sin, ref-del.sin,
        streq.h, wctype-h.c, wctype.in.h) and into m4 (closein.m4, closeout.m4,
        close-stream.m4, codeset.m4, configmake.m4, fpending.m4, freadahead.m4,
        glibc21.m4, localcharset.m4, locale-fr.m4, locale-ja.m4, locale-zh.m4,
        mbrtowc.m4, mbsinit.m4, mbstate_t.m4, quotearg.m4, wctype_h.m4),
        and these files are thus no longer needed.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove closein.
        * gzip.c: Don't include closein.h.
        (stdin_was_read): New static var.
        (main): Don't use close_stdin.
        Invoke finish_out to exit after outputting via stdio's stdout.
        Close stdin after reading it.
        Restore previous way of closing stdout.
        (treat_stdin): Record that stdin was read.
        (finish_out): New function.

        * gzip.c (main): Do not close stdout twice when given -l.
        Instead, -l now just fflushes stdout, so that fdatasync
        can synchronize it if --synchronize is also specified.
        * tests/list: New test case.

        gzip: also honor GZIP=--rsyncable
        * gzip.c (main): Also accept --rsyncable when it is specified
        via the GZIP environment variable.
        I noticed this when gzip's "make dist" failed because maint.mk
        detected that gzip now honors --rsyncable, yet when it set GZIP_ENV
        to include that, and that propagated via automake-generated code
        to the GZIP setting used in the "make dist" rule, there, it was not
        honored, and caused "make dist" to fail.

        A problem was reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe for OpenIndiana.
        I reproduced a problem with different symptoms on Solaris 11.
        Switching to Bash fixed it, and I hope this fixes it for
        OpenIndiana too, since both problems appear to be shell-related.

        Problem reported by Assaf Gordon in: http://bugs.gnu.org/22900#11
        * zgrep.in: Port to Solaris 11.2 /bin/sh (ksh 93u 2011-02-08),
        where $? is 256+SIG when a process was killed with signal SIG, and
        where 'exit 257' is equivalent to 'exit 1'.  Apparently some other
        sh implementations use 256+128+SIG.  So, instead of using plain
        'exit $?', use the equivalent of 'exit ((128 * (128 <= $?)) + $? %
        128)' within the script, and use the equivalent of 'kill -$($? %
        128)' at the top level if the exit status is 128 or more.

        'make check' failures on my Solaris 11 box, which occurred

        Problem reported by Jaroslaw Weglinski, and LESSOPEN change

        This doesn't fix bug 16951 entirely, as 'less' needs to be changed

        Use touch -r and chmod --reference rather than cpmod.
        Assume cp -p works, as it's now universal.
        Quote 'echo' args better, while we're at it.
        (warn, tmp, cpmod, cpmodarg): Remove.

        Problem reported for Solaris 9 by Daniel in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2012-06/msg00007.html>.
        Rather than figure out what exactly went wrong in Solaris 9
        it was easier to rip out all the buggy compatibility and stty cruft.
        * zmore.in: Don't use stty or trap; simply pipe the output to 'more'
        and let it deal with signals and terminal control.
        Use printf, not 'echo', to avoid problems with backslashes.
        Don't assume ANS is not 's' in the environment.
        Use a 'more'-style header instead of rolling our own style.
        Paginate the header, too; the old behavior lost the header.
        * NEWS, zmore.1: Document this.

        * zgrep.in: Don't assume the exit status is the signal number plus
        128, as POSIX doesn't require this.  No need to kill self; exiting
        with large status is enough.  Propagate all exit statuses greater

        * tests/zgrep-f: Check for "zgrep -e -" bug, too.
        * zgrep.in: Don't assume that if the shell redirects fd 6, then
        this redirection is visible to the subsidiary grep.  POSIX doesn't
        guarantee this visibility except for file descriptors 0, 1, and 2,
        and ksh does not support it.  Problem reported by Thomas Schulz in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2010-11/msg00000.html>.
        Also, fix a related bug: "-e -" was mishandled.  These two bugs
        were introduced by commit 5b54db4546b84ec97ff57a62f8ddb98faacf77f2
        dated 2009-10-09.
        (escape): Change the convention: do not assume that a stray X
        is present at the end of the last line.  All uses changed.
        There was no longer any need for this convention, and fixing this
        made it a bit easier to use 'sed' in a later part of the fix.

        * zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
        A script went awry when updating copyright dates in gzip's shell
        scripts.  It should update comments to look like "# Copyright (C)
        2007, 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (with a set of years)
        and version messages to look like "Copyright (C) 2010 Free
        Software Foundation, Inc." (with just the most-recent year).
        Instead, it sometimes ignored one, sometimes the other, and
        typically put ranges into version messages.  Fix all this stuff by
        hand, using dates that I divined from the change logs (so they're
        a bit more accurate than script-generated dates).  We need to fix
        the script before it runs in 2011.

        but other programs may.
        * gzip.h (HEADER_CRC): Renamed from CONTINUATION.  All uses changed.
        * tailor.h [defined __50SERIES]: Remove PRIMOS stuff that was obsolete
        anyway and would have made this patch harder to maintain.

        build: keep --version strictly up to date
        Before this change, in development, gzip's --version output could lag
        behind reality by a couple deltas or by a "-dirty" suffix.  That would

        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add new sc_texinfo_acronym, to skip it.
        * msdos/tailor.c (fcalloc): Mark a diagnostic for translation, to
        placate stricter syntax-check, even though no one uses this file.

        use assembly code matcher when possible
        * configure.ac (ASCPPPOST): Backslash-escape "#" in AC_SUBST'd
        variable, to keep make from seeing it as a comment-introducer.
        Based on a patch by Petr Pisar.
        * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Use AM_V_GEN and AM_V_at.
        * lib/match.c: Don't include <config.h>.
        It would impede configure-time assembler test.

        This matters at least on Cygwin 1.7.1-1, for which a stdin-pipe has
        the mtime of /dev/null, rather than the gzip-documented-for-pipes
        "current time".  Reported by Denis Excoffier.

        * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

        gzip: fix a data-loss bug when decompressing with --suffix=''
        * gzip.c (main): Disallow an empty --suffix=S also with -d.
        Otherwise, "gzip -d -S '' F.gz" would ask if it's ok to remove the
        existing file, "F.gz";  if you reply "yes", you'd lose all of that data.
        Use of an empty suffix was already rejected in compression mode.
        * gzip.1 (--suffix (-S)): Do not recommend to use "gunzip -S '' *".
        Describe how the suffix is used when decompressing, too.
        * NEWS (Bug fixes): mention the fix.
        Reported by Ripduman Sohan.

        zgrep: terminate gracefully when a pipeline is interrupted by a signal
        zgrep is not terminated gracefully when its grep/sed pipeline

        zgrep -F .TH /usr/share/man/man1/*.gz | head
        continues working long after the "head" process completes.
        Another example, a command like
        zgrep unmatched-pattern /usr/share/man/man1/*.gz
        cannot be interrupted by sending a SIGQUIT with Ctrl-\ key, it outputs
        zgrep: line 221: test: : integer expression expected
        and goes on.
        * zgrep.in: Terminate gracefully when the grep/sed pipeline is
        terminated by a signal.
        * tests/zgrep-signal: New test.

        tests: remove unnecessary use of "path_prepend_ ."
        It is unnecessary, since Makefile.am's TESTS_ENVIRONMENT setting
        already adds the top build directory, and besides, is only
        marginally useful when running stand-alone, since it presumes
        that the script is being run from the top build directory.

        it would have overridden was always empty.

2010-01-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

        gzip -d would fail with a CRC error...
        ...for some inputs, and some memcpy implementations.  It is possible
        that an offending input has to be compressed "from FAT filesystem
        (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT)", since the sole reproducer no longer evokes a
        CRC error when uncompressed and recompressed on a GNU/Linux system.
        Also, using an unpatched reverse-memcpy-gzip on over 100,000 inputs
        on a GNU/Linux system did not turn up another reproducer.
        * inflate.c (inflate_codes): Don't call memcpy with overlapping regions.
        Properly detect when source and destination overlap.

        * configure.ac: Turn off -Wunused-macros.

        build: avoid warnings about unused macros
        * unzip.c (LOCTIM): Comment out unused macro.
        * deflate.c (EQUAL): Remove definition.  Use "0" at sole point of use.

        build: util.c: avoid warnings about add_envopt
        * util.c (add_envopt): The parameter "env" was used for two conflicting
        purposes.  One use required a const char* parameter, while the other
        was used as an argument to free, which must not be "const".
        Rename the parameter and use a new local variable for the second role.

        build: avoid many const-related warnings
        * gzip.c: Add "const" to many variables, to avoid compiler warnings.
        * util.c (add_envopt): Make 3rd parameter const
        (gzip_error): Make sole parameter const.
        * gzip.h: Update prototypes.

        build: avoid warnings from -Wstrict-prototypes
        * gzip.c (main): Declare using a prototype.
        (progerror): Likewise.  And make parameter const.

        build: use gnulib's fdopendir module
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fdopendir.
        * gzip.c (treat_dir): Don't depend on HAVE_FDOPENDIR.
        Gnulib now guarantees its availability.
        * configure.ac: Don't check for fdopendir here.

        build: enable many warnings
        * configure.ac: Add support for --enable-gcc-warnings.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add manywarnings.
        * Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Add (WARN_CFLAGS) # $(WERROR_CFLAGS)

        maint: tweak formatting of bootstrap.conf
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Unindent list.

        maint: cfg.mk: remove factored-out ftp host/dir definitions
        * cfg.mk (gnu_ftp_host-alpha, gnu_ftp_host-beta gnu_ftp_host-stable):
        (gnu_rel_host, url_dir_list): Remove definitions.  The defaults,
        now provided by maint.mk, are the same.
        * gnulib: Update for latest, including those maint.mk additions.

        build: "make stable" emitted an invalid gnupload command
        * cfg.mk (gnu_ftp_host-stable): Rename from gnu_ftp_host-major.
        * README-release: Change another s/major/stable/.

        * amiga/tailor.c (_expand_args): Change each of three uses of
        "exit(20)" to "exit(EXIT_FAILURE)".
        * sample/add.c: Include <stdlib.h>.
        (main): Use EXIT_FAILURE and EXIT_SUCCESS, not 1 and 0.
        * sample/sub.c (main): Likewise.
        * sample/zread.c (main): Likewise.

        build: update gnulib submodule to latest

        build: link with $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME)
        * Makefile.am (gzip_LDADD): Add $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME), now that
        utimens pulls in gettime.
        (FILES_TO_CHECK): Remove $(gzip_LDADD), now that it may contain -lrt.

2009-10-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

        msdos: fix syntax in Makefile.djg

        sequences to a TAB.  Reported by Allan Mui.

2009-10-20  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

        build: do not use AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM
        * configure.ac: Do not use "AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM(gzip)".
        It would induce behavior that is so surprising that it is probably
        universally considered to be buggy, these days.  Reported by Zube
        in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.gzip.bugs/273

2009-10-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

        * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

2009-10-10  Daniel Barkalow  <barkalow@iabervon.org>

        gzip: don't fail when there is exactly one trailing NUL byte
        * gzip.c (get_method): Require the second byte of magic only if
        the first byte was nonzero.

2009-10-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

        build: enable automake color- and parallel-test options
        * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Enable color-tests and parallel-tests.

        zgrep: portability improvements; exercise "-f -"
        * zgrep.in: Adjust loop not to use seq; it's not portable enough.
        Fail if we don't find a free file descriptor.
        (exists): New function; Use it in place of less portable "test -e".
        Testing for existence of /dev/fd/$fd doesn't work on Solaris 10,
        since all 256 always exist (as char devices), but testing for
        /proc/$$/fd/$fd does work, so do that instead.
        * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tests/zgrep-f.
        * tests/zgrep-f: New test; exercise this bug.
        * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

2009-10-09  Carl Worth  <cworth@cworth.org>

        zgrep: handle "-f -" the same way that it works with grep
        Before this change, echo needle|zgrep -f - haystack.gz would not work.
        * zgrep.in: When the pattern comes from stdin, redirect it to a
        different file descriptor, since we're about to use stdin.

2009-10-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

        zdiff would exit 2 (error) rather than 1 for differences
        * zdiff.in: Save and restore cmp's exit status around a case
        statement that would otherwise clobber its value.
        * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
        * tests/zdiff: New test; exercise both bugs.
        * tests/test-lib.sh: New file.  From coreutils.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add tests/test-lib.sh.
        (TESTS): Add tests/zdiff.

        zdiff: fix malfunction when operating on two gzip'd inputs
        zdiff would fail to print differences in two compressed inputs
        * zdiff.in: Don't let cmp output mix with echo'd gzip exit
        status values.  Report and fix from Jörg-Volker Peetz via
        <http://bugs.debian.org/434275>
        * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

        doc: update gzip.texi
        * doc/gzip.texi: FDL 1.3+
        Consistently (de)capitalize section names.
