Hi all. Decided to write BSD licensed grep and provide it to FreeBSD project if success. But encountered with a problem, which I can resolve. I looked through the gnu, OpenBSD sources and posix requirements to this utility, and can't find a solution. Problem is next. System have few utilities [e|f]grep. And have a keys -E -F and -G which force the certain regexp processing mode. But I can't find what to do if mode caused by the utility name is another than mode of a key provided to it. If an error should be printed and utility should exit. Or may be a key must be more preferable.
OpenBSD use the latest key provided in alphabetical order. Gnu's looks for a single key, error if 2 ore more provided. Posix requirements aks only for one key to be provided. How to deal with this in right way ? -- Mark Nesterovych _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
