This has been suggested in the past. Unfortunately, truncation to 0 bytes is viewed as a rather destructive operation, so the current thought is that it is worth making the user do a bit of extra typing to imply that they meant it. And you can always write a shell function or alias to supply the argument automatically, if you like the ease of a shorter command in an interactive environment. -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
