- ajross 17y agoUh... my man page says nothing about deprecation, it just documents its behavior. And I certainly still find it useful, in any case, for situations where autodetection won't work -- for example when you are creating an archive. Y'know, with the "-c" flag that apparently you haven't read about yet. Bazinga! (edit: What I find most interesting isn't so much that you goofed your snipe, which happens all the time. It's that someone upvoted it.)
