Follow-up Comment #5, bug #64253 (project findutils): Are there going to be new corresponding -printf % format conversions? If so, what are the letters going to be (if they are single letters)? I'd like to use the same notation in my rawhide program if possible.
The only good choices for me are: %o %O %q %Q %w %W They are the only pairs of letters I have left, and I think it makes sense to try to use an uppercase and lowercase version of the same letter for the (magic number) file type and mime type. I have a preference for %w=magic and %W=mime, but only because "w" is the only available letter where I can think of a good mnemonic (i.e. "what"). Although "q" for "qualities" is OK too. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64253> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
