My reflex was just the opposite: why reject a notation
that might be useful?
Several other programs (printf, seq, sort, tail, plus many
other GNU programs) also use strtod or strtold.

With today's change using "sleep 22" will
still act just like "sleep 22

You see I was trying to make very special arguments to sleep so that I
can make sure to kill the one I want
pkill -u jidanni -fx sleep\ 22
It is not clear if that will still work. Maybe the man/info page should
say a regexp that matches all valid args.

Hi Volker,
There's nothing terribly _wrong_ with it, but I am

Good idea. Done. Thanks for the quick review.

what's wrong with `sleep inf`?
Have a nice day,

looks good. Perhaps rename to c_strtod_pre_filter()
as I initially wondered why you hardcoded '.'
cheers,

Interesting. Thanks for the report.
That's an artifact of GNU sleep using strtod, which mea
The documentation doesn't say that one can also use hex args:
$ time /bin/sleep 0x10
real0m16.007s
However not octal args:
$ time /bin/sleep 010
real0m10.003s
Maybe say how too.
