In my opinion, it is incorrect for a shell utility (such as sed or any of the textutils) to respond to EPIPE for stdout (and, arguably, any other output file) by
1) printing a message on stderr 2) exiting with non-0 status It would be quite a nuisance to do anything else, so the question is, is there sufficient reason to bother? What harm results if the program does this? _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
