---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0005675) geoffclare (manager) - 2022-02-17 17:00 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1538#c5675 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Interpretation response ------------------------ The standard states the output produced by the <i>what</i> utility includes the name of the file for each occurrence of the pattern found and that no output is produced for a file that has no occurrences of the pattern, and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. Rationale: ------------- Implementations write the pathname once for each file, regardless of how many identification strings are found in it. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): ------------------------------------------------------- On page 3437 line 116038 (-s option), change:<blockquote>Quit after finding the first occurrence of the pattern in each file.</blockquote>to:<blockquote>Skip to the next <i>file</i> operand (if any) after finding the first occurrence of the pattern in each file.</blockquote> On page 3437 line 116063 (STDOUT), change:<blockquote>The standard output shall consist of the following for each <i>file</i> operand:<pre>"%s:\n\t%s\n", <<i>pathname</i>>, <<i>identification string</i>></pre></blockquote>to:<blockquote>The standard output for each <i>file</i> operand shall consist of:<pre>"%s:\n", <<i>file</i>></pre>followed by one line for each identification string (if any) found in the file, in the following format:<pre>"\t%s\n", <identification string></pre></blockquote> Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2021-12-05 06:48 andras_farkas New Issue 2021-12-05 06:48 andras_farkas Name => Andras Farkas 2021-12-05 06:48 andras_farkas Section => what 2022-02-17 09:02 Don Cragun Page Number => 3437 2022-02-17 09:02 Don Cragun Line Number => 116041 2022-02-17 09:02 Don Cragun Interp Status => --- 2022-02-17 15:57 geoffclare Note Added: 0005674 2022-02-17 17:00 geoffclare Note Added: 0005675 ======================================================================
