mtools

[Ralf]

I already removed mtools, but decided to reinstall it for a test:

$ grep -v "#" /usr/bin/tgz 

set -e
set -u

Error ()
{	echo "Error: $0: ${@-}." >&2
	exit 1
}

	dest=
	src=.
	tar cvf - . | gzip -9v
	exit 0
	dest=$1
	src=.
else
	dest=$1
	shift
	src="${@-}"
fi

case $dest in
"" | . | .. | */ | */. | */.. )
	echo "Usage: $0: [destination [source...] ]" >&2
	exit 1
	;;
*.t?z | *.?z | *.z | *.Z | *.tz | *.tz? )
	;;
*)
esac

if [ -h "$dest" ]; then
	Error "Destination file \"$dest\" already exists as a symbolic link"
elif [ -f "$dest" ]; then
	Error "Destination \"$dest\" already exists as a file"
elif [ -d "$dest" ]; then
	Error "Destination \"$dest\" already exists as a directory"
fi
if [ -z "$dest" -o "X$dest" = 'X-' ]; then
	echo "Writing gzipp'd tar archive to standard output." >&2
	tar cvfS - -- $src | gzip -9v
else
	echo "Writing gzip'd tar archive to \"$dest\"." >&2
	tar -cvS --totals --exclude "$dest" -f - -- $src | gzip -9v > "$dest" 
	ls -l "$dest" >&2
fi

exit 0

I still can't see what created those copy files, however, I'll uninstall mtools again.

Dunno why I didn't take a look at the file before :D.
