I'm pretty sure you're right, because upon reflection and testing 'find . -inum N' returns a relative pathspec. Example: $ cd /tmp /tmp $ ls -i 139003 access-2008q3.log 138995 access.log 139004 apache.conf /tmp $ find . -inum 139003 ./access-2008q3.log /tmp $ So the trick I mentioned is highly useful for a large number of _other_ varieties of pathological filename, such as ones with several control characters, etc. -- but not for filenames containing one of the two absolutely forbidden characters (slash and null). _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
