Hello, I wonder if the fuser utility coming with Cygwin is returning an error code that isn't in line with the IEEE specifaction. What is happening:
--- somog...@demuc12306 ~ $ fuser /cygdrive/f/Bazsi/cygwin/bin/bash; echo $? /cygdrive/f/Bazsi/cygwin/bin/bash: 2708e 0 somog...@demuc12306 ~ $ fuser /cygdrive/f/Bazsi/cygwin/bin/awk; echo $? 1 --- So, the "bash" file is locked by one process and "awk" is by zero. For both scenarios FreeBSD returns 0 which I assume to be correct. The IEEE standard says fuser should return non-zero value only when an error occured. --- www.unix.org\single_unix_specification\susv3\utilities\fuser.html EXIT STATUS The following exit values shall be returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. --- A file being locked by one, two or ZERO process is all positive scenario so fuser should return 0. What's you opinion? Can this be fixed?
