[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #43206] gunzip deletes source files

[Rik]

Update of bug #43206 (project octave):

                Priority:              5 - Normal => 3 - Low

Follow-up Comment #8:

It mostly works with archives (.tar.gz).  This is about individual gzipped
files.  Start with a file "hello" that contains some basic text like "123".


>> flist = gzip ("hello")
flist =
{
  [1,1] = hello.gz
}
>> exist ("hello.gz")
ans =  2
>> flist2 = gunzip ("hello.gz")
flist2 =
{
  [1,1] = /home/rik/wip/Projects_Mine/octave-dev/unp/hello
}
>> exist ("hello.gz")
ans = 0


As you can see from the call to exist, the file "hello.gz" has been removed.

If you have access to Matlab, you could test whether this behavior has
changed.

Otherwise, something else needs to be done.
