Yes, they use System V syntax. > I'm pretty impressed with how Linux handles this though, if you use > -elf, you get the SysV behavior. If you use 'aux' you get the BSD > behavior. It seems that options preceded by a '-' are SysV and > without are BSD. Not exactly, but close. Options specified without a dash are treated as BSD options, whereas options specified with a dash are Unix98 options. These are not the same as SysV options and actually include a number of BSD options. For example, on Linux, ps -aux ps aux do the same thing. However, ps -ef ps ef Do NOT do the same thing. - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
