Follow-up Comment #8, bug #51151 (project findutils): Hi Bernhard and Andreas,
thanks, but I’d change a few minor things: 1. Do not remove the list of all options at the top, it really helps one to get a quick overview and the specific spelling if one only vaguely remembers the correct option but gets it upon seeing it. 2. ↓ +The \-o option is an extension to the POSIX standard for better +compatibility with BSD. I’d change that into: +compatibility with BSD. See below for an example of how to achieve this portably. 3. In Andreas’ patch, obviously, do not remove the </dev/tty example but reword it slightly. Rationale for #2 and #3: while the BSD extension is added, documenting this is likely still good for when one searches the documentation for information on how to achieve the same effect with either older GNU xargs or non-BSD/GNU xargs (modulo the problems I stated e.g. wrt. ‘--’). _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51151> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
