I'm not sure your call is directed to me. But I take it like a compliment if this stuff is inspirational for you too.
Indeed, cat miss an -o for line offset. Putting my hands on OpenBSD development will require a lot of time and effort, upgrade of my stick to current and dev tools, C refresh with a nice C pointers welcome, passing by your coding style and practices, and more.. I personally would like to have more fun on this Tiny Tools for now. Meaning, go certainly ahead to enhance cat or any tool of OpenBSD we all like. However, thanks for the answer and involvement. -- Daniele Bonini Nov 14, 2023 12:19:33 Crystal Kolipe <kolip...@exoticsilicon.com>: >> enanching the original tool "num". > > /bin/cat already has the -c option to number lines, although it always starts > numbering at 1. > > Wouldn't it be more useful to add the functionality to start numbering at a > certain offset to /bin/cat by adding an argument to the -c option rather than > creating a new tool?
