Post #3705879

@cks nc wasn't changed. The relevant line of code has been if (vflag || zflag) { ever since Eric Jackson re-wrote #OpenBSD #nc in 2001. Martin Pieuchot changed the stream from standard output to standard error in 2009, but nc has been doing this for quarter of a century. What actually happened was that #Debian people had been locally patching this line from 2012 to 2023. https://salsa.debian.org/debian/netcat-openbsd/-/commit/2f5a8bea5f84847ee36a90e59f585b5cb3c07537 https://salsa.debian.org/debian/netcat-openbsd/-/commit/c9586231ff0e481ba51f96abd576cb506883a166 The Stearns fork of pre-Jackson #netcat respects -v here.
