Summary:Documented folder= behaviour contradicts
implementations (of folders command)
Description:
POSIX documents
If folder is unset or set to null, user-specified filenames beginning
with '+' shall refer to files in the current directory that begin with the
literal '+' character.
This does not reflect behaviour of BSD Mail (since introduction in
1982-03-15), which simply calls getfold() of same commit, and here NOSTR is
NULL indeed:
+ if (name[0] == '+' && getfold(cmdbuf) >= 0) {
+ sprintf(xname, "%s/%s", cmdbuf, name + 1);
+ return(expand(savestr(xname)));
+ }
+getfold(name)
+ char *name;
+{
+ char *folder;
+
+ if ((folder = value("folder")) == NOSTR)
+ return(-1);
+ if (*folder == '/')
+ strcpy(name, folder);
+ else
+ sprintf(name, "%s/%s", homedir, folder);
+ return(0);
+}
Unix V10 (V8 has not any of this) derives from the above, but .. maybe has
had time pressure and did the false
if (name[0] == '+') {
cp = expand(++name);
if (*cp != '/' && getfold(cmdbuf) >= 0) {
sprintf(xname, "%s/%s", cmdbuf, cp);
cp = savestr(xname);
}
if (debug) fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", cp);
return cp;
Since the folders command simply provides a listing of the directory
represented by folder= a.k.a. getfold()>=0 (done like that by all), i see
no ground for POSIX's "or set to null".
Desired Action:
On line 97814, change
nofolder. If folder is unset or set to null, user-specified filenames
to
nofolder. If folder is unset, user-specified filenames
