Correct. > but it needs to be set to a value as well, at least for du(1). That would be a bug, if it were true. But I can't see anything in the source for du that inspects the value of POSIXLY_CORRECT. lib/getopt.c uses !!getenv ("POSIXLY_CORRECT") to decide whether to do POSIX option parsing, and src/du.c has no reference to POSIXLY_CORRECT. In fact, I couldn't find anywhere in coreutils sources that dereferences the value returned by getenv("POSIXLY_CORRECT"). What version of du are you using? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
