`yes` from coreutils is incompatible with coreutils 5.2.1: 5.2.1: $ yes -v | head -n3 -v -v -v $ yes -- -v | head -n3 -- -v -- -v -- -v
6.9: $ yes -- -v | head -n3 -v -v -v $ yes -v | head -n3 yes: invalid option -- v Try `yes --help' for more information. $ LC_ALL=C yes -v yes: invalid option -- v so how this can be invalid option if there is no short options at all in yes binary (nor in manual or --help output) with such incompatabilities it's not possible to write portable code :/ -- glen _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
