--- Begin Message ---Package: ratpoison Version: 1.4.0-beta4-10 Severity: minor On the ratpoison man page, one can see an option for echoing text, like this: " echo text Show text as ratpoison message." However, if one naively runs " ratpoison -c echo foo ", one gets " Error: junk arguments: foo ". One needs to run instead " ratpoison -c "echo foo" " Perhaps this could be updated to mention the need for quotes? (Attached is the IRC conversation on #ratpoison I had when I ran into this problem). ~maru#from ratpoison: <Marudubshinki> why does "$ratpoison -c echo text" give "Error: junk arguments: text"? [18:06] <Marudubshinki> echo is a ratpoison command that is supposed to take a single textual argument and ehco it in the text box, isn't it? [18:07] <sen> ratpoison -c "echo text" <Marudubshinki> ah <Marudubshinki> thanks <sen> np :) <Marudubshinki> but why must arguments to -c be quoted? [18:08] <Marudubshinki> for example, "ratpoison -c focusleft" works fine <sen> hmm <sb2> its way your shell parses things <Marudubshinki> oh. you mean -c is passed on argument, so ratpoison gets only "echo" and not the argument to echo? [18:09] <Marudubshinki> *one <sb2> ratpoison -c echo foo is passed to the C program as: "ratpoison" "-c" "echo" "foo" <sb2> ratpoison *could* assemble them back [18:10] <sb2> but it uses getopt <Marudubshinki> ah, I understand now. not really ratpoison's fault then.
