These proposed options would be of limited utility, since you can already do that in another way. "tail --skip=5 -n 10" would be equivalent to "tail -n 15 | head -n 10", and "head --skip=5 -n 10" would be equivalent to "tail -n +6 | head -n 10". _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
