Another thing that I find almost annoying is the use of "-switch" (find(1) and dd(1M) are the most obvious examples that come to mind). Should that be read as "-switch" or "-s -w -i -t -c -h"? POSIX (and I) say the latter. -- Rich Teer, SCSA, SCNA, SCSECA, OpenSolaris CAB member CEO, My Online Home Inventory Voice: +1 (250) 979-1638 URLs: http://www.rite-group.com/rich http://www.myonlinehomeinventory.com _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
