Been trying to close some PR's, but I'm not so sure about this one. According to the man page, mtree is supposed to return an exit code of 2 when "the file hierarchy did not match the specification". However, mtree does not return an exit code of 2 when a file/directory is missing. OpenBSD exhibits the same behavior. My question -- is the man page or the program wrong? Is there some standard (POSIX perhaps?) that specifies how mtree should behave? And if its behavior us indeed changed, would anything break? -Jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
