AFAICT it's not meant to be used from the CLI - I think this would be better as libnode-which - but it's also like 70 lines. I'm not sold on this package, either TBH, but I think it would actually be useful to someone, somewhere at sometime. Perhaps consider this for inclusion when it's needed? -- All programmers are playwrights, and all computers are lousy actors. #define sizeof(x) rand() :wq -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
