Hi, In coreutils 5.3.0 tail happily accepted the -c switch with a space between the switch and the number. However in the new SuSE beta it does not unless you set _POSIX2_VERSION. Is this a change in coreutils CVS or something Novell have done?
It isn't backwards compatible and has broken various shell scripts, which is why I want to find out the root cause of this problem and fix it. This sort of change really needs to be a POSIXLY_CORRECT type thing, I think. thanks -mike _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
