Thanks for the suggestion; however, I don't see any benefit to performing such a split. POSIX requires the head utility to do everything, so splitting things into two apps would make head no longer compliant, not to mention that the new app would not be installed on many machines to begin with. It's easier to keep everything head-related in one file, like it has always been. -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
