The current standard is here: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/pathchk.html In addition to <http://www.opengroup.org/austin/interps/doc.tpl?gdid=6232>, which I already mentioned, you probably also want to look here: http://www.opengroup.org/austin/interps/doc.tpl?gdid=6233 > I attach my findnl util for reference. Yes, that's the sort of thing that pathchk was designed for. However, I see several quoting problems in findnl, e.g. "...\{...". Another example: > #The following is clever if I say so myself > expressions=`eval echo -n '$'expressions$level` isn't portable, since you can't rely on either -n or backslash handling with "echo". Better is something like this: eval expressions=\$expressions$level _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
