I'd expect to see 'hello world'. According to the manual, the effects of -f include: "bzip2 normally declines to decompress files which don't have the correct magic header bytes. If forced (-f), however, it will pass such files through unmodified. This is how GNU gzip behaves. strace includes: read(0, "hello world\n", 4096) = 12 read(0, "", 4096) = 0 lseek(0, 0, SEEK_SET) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek) read(0, "", 4096) = 0 close(0) = 0 I assume, the failing lseek() should be acted on.
