Describe the bug
When recursive decompression is used with -f to force, as the documentation states, it operates on links. However, the behavior of how it operates on links is different from other decompressors, including pigz
To Reproduce
Create a deeply nested cyclical soft link. (For security reasons I am not providing the reproduction to cause the bomb)
zstd -d -f -r --verbose crafted_hang_bomb_circular_soft_link
*** Zstandard CLI (64-bit) v1.5.6, by Yann Collet ***
(infinite hang)
While pigz exits with an appropriate error
pigz -d -f -r link
pigz: link does not have compressed suffix -- skipping
Expected behavior
Behave like pigz and skip soft links without the right suffix
