[Dump-devel] filenames from file for restore

[Dejan M. <de...@qu...>]

Hello,

I wrote a small script to assist my Mac users to recover files from
dumps.  However, they are going wild when giving names to files (all 
kind of funny stuff).  I've found this to be almost impossible to handle
with a shell script.  So, here's a small update to restore(8) which
extends its functionality so that a list of files to be extracted/listed
comes from a named file (like '-T' option for gnutar).  I've chosen '-X'
option for this.  stdin is not supported because I was not sure how to
handle the following case

# restore -tf - -X -

Hope you'll find this feature useful.

Cheers.

Dejan
