Another possibility would be to follow the example of the existing --directories=ACTION option, e.g. something like this: --binary-files=ACTION how to handle binary files ACTION is 'read', 'skip', or 'summarize' (default) -I equivalent to --binary-files=skip -a, --text equivalent to --binary-files=read To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
