Subject: Re: [9fans] ls, rc question -- proposed change to rc/glob.c
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2004 02:50:50 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5703c110d2b1be322b2013b834545d1d@collyer.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <717f95a3cb2a4436801b897eb34e2a1c@collyer.net>

I thought my list of directory-reading programs was too short; I
forgot to grep for dirreadall also (not having ls on the list should
have been a tip-off).  It should also include: aux/depend, diff, ftpd,
history, kbmap, ls, mkpaqfs, netstat, news, pptpd, ps, rm, scp.  Not
too surprising on a system built on file servers.

The problem isn't so much breaking things as the inconsistent
behaviour that would result from suppressing duplicates only in some
programs.  This would be especially confusing to new users.
