No, I think you covered most of it quite well [including the bit about "grep -m" not working properly in the case of pipes, sockets, special files, etc.], thanks. Yes, I know that "grep(1)" only promises that "-m" works "If the input is standard input from a regular file", but IMHO we would all benefit from having an option for "grep" (and "head") that would force using "read(fd,&c,1)" when the user really, really wanted it (them) to. -Rob ----- Rob Warnock <[email protected]> 627 26th Avenue <URL:http://rpw3.org/> San Mateo, CA 94403 (650)572-2607 _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
