Good! Thanks. cp, cpio, mv, and tar currently use mkfifo and mknod, so you might want to add mkfifoat and mknodat to the list, too. I haven't looked too closely at find, but its -execdir predicate makes me think having exec*at functions would be useful, too. But can glibc provide those without kernel support? _______________________________________________ bug-gnulib mailing list bug-gnulib@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnulib
