The manual for app-arch/lzma-utils-4.32.7, located at /usr/share/man/man1/lzma.1.bz2, documents the command line parameter "--to-stdout". But it does not work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: echo | lzma --to-stdout > /dev/null Actual Results: lzma: unrecognized option '--to-stdout'
Of course another way to fix this would be to remove --to-stdout from the documentation. I do not know if it makes sense to have it. It seems like stdout implies the "to" because nothing can ever be "from" stdout. Or can it? Which options do other stdout-using programs have?
Please post the output of `emerge --info app-arch/lzma-utils' in a comment.

I will assume for now that the top of the man page doesn't mention lzma(1) at all, but is in fact xz(1).
(In reply to comment #4) > I will assume for now that the top of the man page doesn't mention lzma(1) at > all, but is in fact xz(1). What do you mean? Are you trying to reproduce the bug and having problems? (How is the emerge --info, that you requested and I provided, relevant?)
Ok, I think I see the problem. The long form of the option is really '--stdout', as seen in 'lzma --help', so the man page is wrong.
lzma-utils is dead, and xz-utils doesnt seem to suffer this problem
