(A non-regular file is a directory or a device special file.) Also suppresses the warn- ing message when a binary file is opened. By default, less will refuse to open non-regular files. However, if passed the -f or --force flags, less does not open a directory. >How-To-Repeat: # less -f is a directory # less --force is a directory >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org From: joshua.lokken@gmail.com Reply-To: joshua@joshualokken.com Cc: pr@joshualokken.com X-send-pr-version: 3.113 X-GNATS-Notify:
