Subject: Btw.: glob-qualifier
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 12:02:18 +0100 (MET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199901261102.MAA20746@beta.informatik.hu-berlin.de> (raw)
With all this discussion about documentation going on...
When implementing the glob-sort qualifier I first wanted to use 'o'
but then found out that this is already used and undocumented. The
effect of `(o<oct>)' is to match only files whose modes (all twelve
bits) exactly match `<oct>'. Shouldn't we either document this or
first make it a bit more usable and then document it? E.g. we could
make it take the next four characters which should be octal digits
or `.'s, where `.' means that in this three-bit group any value is
accepted (since this is a shell we should probably better use `?', or
an as yet unused character and allow the argument to have a variable
length).
Bye
Sven
P.S.: Yes, there are still several unused characters in
glob-qualifiers, how comes that?
