I see the project is called execline but then the executable is called execlineb, why isn't it called execline? I've read the docs and I still don't get it. There was an "execline" binary at some point, with a syntax that closely matched the syntax you'd get writing an argv directly. There were no braces, so writing blocks was pretty horrible. So I tried another parser with a slightly different syntax, and named it execlineb (execline+braces). Everybody agreed the new syntax was much better, so I eventually deprecated the first "execline" command. -- Laurent
Fwd: Why is execlineb called execlineb and not execline?
Hi, I see the project is called execline but then the executable is called execlineb, why isn't it called execline? I've read the docs and I still don't get it. Thanks, Berne
