Prior practice is always a good reason to support changes like this. It would be a very simple patch to du.c to convert --max-depth from long-option only to also having a short-option equivalent. Would you like to try your hand at it first? If not, I can probably get around to this in another day or two. -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
