Bug ID: 197567
Summary: chflags -f argument ignored when no file found to be
modified
Product: Base System
Version: 10.1-RELEASE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
According to the chflags(1) manual page, the -f argument should prevent chflags
from printing any message to stderr and from modifying its exit status.
However, when called with a a pattern not delivering any files, chflags will
still exit with status 1 and print "chflags: No match." to stderr.
This behaviour can be reproduced:
#~ mkdir test
#~ /bin/chflags -f noschg test/*
chflags: No match.
#~ echo $?
1
Suggested fix:
Either change behaviour of chflags to silently exit with status 0 when an empty
set of files is supplied (if called with the -f flag, of course) - or update
man page to document the current behaviour correctly.
