hello, world\n # The only safe way to do it is to write it in C using similar techniques # to those fstat uses, but that requires more effort and introduces yet # another sgid kmem binary. # # Although not an excuse for introducing new 'bad' code into the tree, # it's worth pointing out that rcp/scp can't copy files with shell meta- # characters in their names, and nobody seems to have complained. Then I'd consider rcp/scp broken as designed. I think choking on funny filenames is a POLA violation. If C is the only way to DTRT, so be it. Additional work to get something right instead of kludged up (and also violating the Standard!) was never a valid argument. That's why I once rewrote c89(1) in C which has been a shell script. And didn't you just today write a c99(1) in C which is nothing more than an arglist tweaker? You're on the right track :-) Regards, Jens -- Jens Schweikhardt http://www.schweikhardt.net/ SIGSIG -- signature too long (core dumped) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-standards" in the body of the message
