If you really want this feature, yet cannot afford the access-files-twice approach, consider processing du -a0 output so as to transform file names like these: a/b/c/file a/b/c a/b a into this: a/b/c/file a/b/c/ a/b/ a/ i.e., in iterating through names, when dirname($prev) == $name, append a "/" to $name. However, that would not annotate the name of an empty directory. $ mkdir -p a/b/c/d a/empty $ du -a0 a|perl -MFile::Basename -0ne 'chomp; $s=/^\d+\t(.*)/ && (defined $prev ? dirname ($prev) eq $1 : 0) ? "/" : ""; print "$_$s\n"; $prev = $1' 0 a/empty 0 a/b/c/d 0 a/b/c/ 0 a/b/ 0 a/ _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
