I think skipping is more useful by default, since directories may often appear accidentally in wildcard-generated lists. I suggest making the default "skip with a warning": $ mkdir foo $ grep pattern foo; echo $? grep: foo: skipping directory 1 The warning could be suppressed by an explicit --directories=skip option. Hurd users can use a shell alias like grep='grep -d read' if they like that behavior and if they're confident they won't specify directories by accident. paul _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
