Hi,
I'm using gunzip 1.5 on Amazon Linux 2017.03.
When running gunzip /nonexistent/*gz, the error message from gunzip is very misleading: gzip: /nonexistent/*gz.gz: No such file or directory
It's misleadng in two ways:
1. it refers to gzip, when I was running gunzip
2. it refers to a file specification that I did not provide, by naively appending .gz to the file spec
Doubtless you have bigger fish to fry.
Thanks,
John
