Package: coreutils Version: 9.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Quoth csplit(1):
-- >8 --
-z, --elide-empty-files
remove empty output files
-- >8 --
So given:
-- >8 --
$ (cd nz; printf '%s\n' q w e r t | csplit - 1 4)
0
6
4
$ find nz
nz
nz/xx02
nz/xx01
nz/xx00
$ head nz/*
==> nz/xx00 <==
==> nz/xx01 <==
q
w
e
==> nz/xx02 <==
r
t
-- >8 --
What do you expect the equivalent with -z to be?
Naturally, the manual says "remove", so I'd expect xx01 and xx02
to remain unchanged, but xx00 to be gone.
Let's see:
-- >8 --
$ (cd z; printf '%s\n' q w e r t | csplit -z - 1 4)
6
4
$ find z
z
z/xx01
z/xx00
$ head z/*
==> z/xx00 <==
q
w
e
==> z/xx01 <==
r
t
-- >8 --
Hm. Smells to me like the empty sexions are just ignored entirely
not removed afterward.
