    It might print a message on stderr (all messages are sent to
stderr, except by error of the author), however one can read in the man

    Please excuse me evilham, I don't know what is a "packing rc dir".

    There's an infinite number of ways a human can misbehave. For
brutal extraction of the media, I don't think it is easy to characterize.
