Ahem... oops! It looks like I made a pretty nice fool out of myslf with my posting. The "newbie" label was obviously correct though. As Brooks pointed out, and Peter expanded on, my "patch" and added functionality adds nothing that's really there. I just wasn't able to clue it out by reading the man page [1]. I was however able to hack the code to build the same functionality into the poor du command twice. Quite a feat! ;-) I'm sorry for bothering you all with this. It's obviously back to school for me - and I will learn to generate correct diffs to. [1] If it's ok after this embarrasing thing, would it be ok to humbly suggest instead a rewrite/sharpening of the man page to call/talk about the "-s" option as a silent option? - Basically explain what the "-s" produces as output, and not as much what it does internally to implement the functionality, which it does right now. -- Cheers!
