Hi--I was playing around with using awk on wc output and discovered that when wc prints "wc: DIR: Is a directory", where DIR is the appropriate directory name, it doesn't seem to be printing to stdout. If I redirect the output of, say, wc -l ./* to a text file with '>' then I don't get the "wc: DIRE: Is a directory" statements. That's also causing some weird issues when I pipe wc's output to awk.
I was trying to understand how wc prints the "Is a directory" line. But I haven't been able to figure it out after looking through the source for 45 minutes. (I'm a very inexperienced C coder, though. So I could have missed something easy.) Could anyone tell me what wc is doing and where this shows up in the source? Thanks, Chris JS
