Public bug reported:
Also reported at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unrtf/+bug/489128/comments/4
but I thought a new bug report was in order.
I can also confirm that the "--quiet" flag has no effect on version
0.21.5. Searching for "quiet" in the code base I can see that it's
fetched and set as an option (main.c), but it's never used in the code
base to suppress comments or meta.
Further, it doesn't appear that the "--quiet" flag is shown in the usage
help:
[me] unrtf-0.21.5 $/usr/local/bin/unrtf --version
0.21.5
search path is: /usr/local/share/unrtf/
[me] unrtf-0.21.5 $/usr/local/bin/unrtf --help
Usage: unrtf [--version] [--verbose] [--help] [--nopict|-n] [--noremap]
[--html] [--text] [--vt] [--latex] [--rtf] [-P config_search_path] [-t
<file_with_tags>)] <filename>
And here is the output of using the quiet flag which proves that it does
nothing for a sample RTF file (attached to this report):
[me] unrtf-0.21.5 $/usr/local/bin/unrtf --quiet --text sample.rtf

This is a test RTF
Hi! Im a test file. This is some bold text, and some italic text, as well as
some underline text. And a bit of hidden text. So were going to end this

Item 3

Item 4
And now comes a fun table:
Cell 1 Cell 2
More in cell 2 Cell 3
Next row Next row Next row
A page break:
And here were on the next page.
This para has a This is the actual content of the footnote.footnote.
And heres yet another paragraph.
Here is the output of grepping the codebase that shows no implementation
of the quiet flag in src
