Hi, Version: env du --version => du (GNU coreutils) 9.7 OS: archlinux, x86-64
The GNU coreutils manual says (https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#index-_002d_002dtime_002dstyle-1): - "You can specify the default value of the --time-style option with the environment variable TIME_STYLE; if TIME_STYLE is not set the default style is ‘long-iso’." -> yes - "For compatibility with ls, if TIME_STYLE begins with ‘+’ and contains a newline, the newline and any later characters are ignored;" That does not match behaviour, newlines are just used as-is: ``` $ env du --time --time-style="$(printf "+xyz\nabc")" blob 96 xyz abc blob ``` - "if TIME_STYLE begins with ‘posix-’ the ‘posix-’ is ignored; and if TIME_STYLE is ‘locale’ it is ignored." Also doesn't match, `posix-` is not allowed, `locale` is not allowed: ``` $ env du --time --time-style=posix-iso blob du: invalid argument ‘posix-iso’ for ‘time style’ Valid arguments are: - ‘full-iso’ - ‘long-iso’ - ‘iso’ Try 'du --help' for more information. $ env du --time --time-style=locale blob du: invalid argument ‘locale’ for ‘time style’ Valid arguments are: - ‘full-iso’ - ‘long-iso’ - ‘iso’ Try 'du --help' for more information. ``` Finally, the help text doesn't mention that +FORMAT is allowed. Thanks! Nicolas
