I'd make that be more like: realclean : @chflags -R 0 ${.OBJDIR}/* @rm -Rf ${.OBJDIR}/* since sometimes you wind up files that have flags set on them. I once looked into hacking rm to do that in one step, but couldn't figure out a way to do it race free and punted. There was no notion of a funlink. this is conceptually as close as I got: fd = open(path, O_RDRW); /*1*/ fchflags(fd, 0); unlink(path); /*2*/ which races between /*1*/ and /*2*/. If you can tolerate errors in the output, the following is faster because the chflags has lots less work to do: realclean : @rm -Rf ${.OBJDIR}/* @chflags -R 0 ${.OBJDIR}/* @rm -Rf ${.OBJDIR}/* Warner _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
