Hi all,
I'm about to implement everything we discussed. One thing I want to double
check is, since we have --number-lines=x/y and --number-bytes=x/y as the long
options, obviously we can't just use -n for the short option.
So would it be acceptable to do -nb=x/y and -nl=x/y? This seems the most
intuitive to me, but I can see where this would cause confusion with the -b and
-l options. What do you guys think?
You can't do -nl unfortunately.
You could just add 1 new option: -n --number
This could then be used like:
-n bytes:4 => bytes per file = size/number
-n 4 => ditto
-n lines:4 => ditto but don't split lines
cheers,
