-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think it would be useful for install to understand a source filename of - as 'read from stdin'. For example, to install a gzipped manual page: % gzip <whatever.1 | install -D - /usr/share/man/man1 Certainly this would be more common than wanting to install an actual file called -. (Looking at install.c, it's not entirely clear where to make a change for this. I don't think it should go in copy.c because reading from stdin is probably less appropriate for cp, and definitely not meaningful for mv. Perhaps the answer is to add a new flag to a struct cp_options, 'If nonzero, understand the filename - to mean stdin'. If you give me a clue, I could submit a patch for this feature myself.) - -- Ed Avis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Finger for PGP key -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7j6JEIMp73jhGogoRAgK2AJ95kgX/ranL0wux3NCrdj7cyNm4TACbB2L/ fx4iru6VcBF7sMf3dHPmeuY= =xJOs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
