The parameter parsing for the bash builtins is based on this: #define ISOPTION(s, c) (s[0] == '-' && !s[2] && s[1] == c)
In addition the -- is used to recognize negative numbers to signify process groups instead of just a process. This is rather unusable for lonopts, but at least the -L could be coded without being too invasive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1488939 Title: kill -L behaviour (is it a doc or code error?)
