A question...
/home/rthompso/JAVA>cat HelloDate.java >hellodate.java
cat: HelloDate.java: input file is output file
Is this proper behavior?( I do not believe it is). If not, is this a
result of some error in my setup (mount type for /home????) or an
underlying OS problem(WIN caseInsensitive)? or...? The archives have minor
mention of this in 1998, nothing since.
cat.c makes the following validation:
if (check_redirection
&& stat_buf.st_dev == out_dev && stat_buf.st_ino == out_ino
&& (input_desc != STDIN_FILENO || output_desc != STDOUT_FILENO))
{
error (0, 0, _("%s: input file is output file"), infile);
exit_status = 1;
goto contin;
}
thanks
