Howdy all! Here at the World Headquarters of the netCDF data format, we are wondering how to get a file size in an automake test?
(Our test, in this case, is to generate a data file with some of our command line utilities, and then check the size of the output file.) Should we just use 'ls -l $file' with sed to parse the output for the file size? If so, do we have to check for the existence of ls and sed during the configure? Or is going to be found everywhere? Or is there some more clever way to check the size of a file? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks! Ed -- Ed Hartnett -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
