cp's behavior with fifos is sometimes not what one might want, but it is traditional and standardized by POSIX and the default probably shouldn't be changed at this point. (Maybe another option could be added, though we'd have to see the details.)
Could you suggest a specific improvement to the documentation to clarify this issue? We prefer the output of "diff -u" against coreutils.texi. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
