Yes, but you don't document it I bet. At least not in the path that starts with man cat. Just reading the coreutils docs, one wouldn't know why $ date|cat q b - c q - q - b worked except stdin only showed up once... Hmmm maybe also some pipes would also... _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
