1) Fileutils.
=============

I downloaded the source to
  fileutils-3.15
  fileutils-3.16v
I do not know if this is the latest.

I was looking at 'mv.c' and 'copy.c' source file to learn how to move file 
between devices (across media).

I was not surprised to see all the check that is needed for
the file types, 'ownership', 'user/group/ rights' , etc.

Suggestion
-----------
If the file to be copied/move to a different device (across media) is too 
big to fit.
It would be a good idea to check the free space on the destination first.
This does not done in the versions I looked at.

If this is in the latest version, sorry to wast your time.

===================================
2) Explain
Please Can you explain to me how changes that are made in fileutils
are reach and are released to/by the Linux distributors.
e.g.
  Red hat.
  Slackwave.
  Cladera
  etc.

How is the linux project manage ?

===================================
3) Where can I get a copy of POSIX.
====================================

Many thanks
Kristian Whittick
