The general way is to submit a patch, in "diff -u" format. You'd need to patch doc/coreutils.texi and each source file (e.g., src/cp.c). > I'd like on some things to include the really useful GNU options; I'd prefer fairly terse examples that focus on "really useful" uses (my, I'm starting to sound like Thomas the Tank Engine). It's OK for examples to mention GNU extensions. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
