I like an end-of-dump marker for folks who want to check if the dump got truncated somehow. I can see how to do that for text dumps, but what about for tar or custom dumps?
Wouldn't it be more effective to test for non zero return status as this handles -Fc cases, etc, which would be non-trivial to test.
That assumes you are there at the time of dump...
