Subject: Undocumented numeric globbing flags
Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2016 17:32:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160725173229.7da0a4c6@pwslap01u.europe.root.pri> (raw)
Does anyone use the undocumented globbing flag feature that a number
with no flag is treated as a set of octal bits to "and" with the file
mode?
I only discovered this when I mistyped a set of flags that should have
contained a numeric argument and it was silently misinterpreted as
something entirely different.
As far as I can see this is completely superseded by the "f" qualifier.
