Module compat 

Compatibility links: when the binary is invoked under another tool’s name (through a symlink), it behaves as that tool, with that tool’s flags, messages and exit codes, not stuffr’s.

Modules

bzip2

The bzip2 / bunzip2 / bzcat family: stuffr behaving as bzip2 1.0.8.

bzip2recover

bzip2recover: stuffr behaving as bzip2recover 1.0.8.

gzip

The gzip family (gzip, gunzip, zcat, gzcat): stuffr behaving as the platform’s own gzip.

links

stuffr install-links: opt-in compatibility symlinks.

xz

The xz family (xz, unxz, xzcat, lzma, unlzma, lzcat): stuffr behaving as XZ Utils 5.8.4’s xz.

zstd

The zstd family (zstd, unzstd, zstdcat, zstdmt): stuffr behaving as zstd 1.5.7’s command line tool.

Enums

Family

A family of tools the binary can impersonate.

Functions

dispatch

Run the compatibility tool args[0] names, or return None when it names none (the caller then behaves as stuffr). The tool gets the arguments after args[0]; bzip2recover, which prints its argv[0] verbatim, gets args[0] as well.

family_for

The family and canonical name for an argv[0], or None when it is not a compatibility name. Only the final path component counts, and on Windows a trailing .exe is ignored.

names

Every compatibility name, from the one table family_for also reads.
