Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 23:39:10 -0800 From: "David O'Brien" <obrien@NUXI.com> Would it be possible to either ignore binary files when "-l" is in affect. OR to add an ignore binary file flag (like FreeBSD has in 2.x and 3.x)? The latter sounds reasonable, though it'd have to be spelled differently from -a since -a is now taken. Perhaps --skip-binary-files, by analogy with the existing --directories=skip option? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
