Manual file part... SYNOPSIS wc [--libxo] [-Lclmw] [file ...] ... -c ... This will cancel out any prior usage of the -m option. ... -m ... This will cancel out any prior usage of the -c option. This is different to GNU implementation, because GNU wc supports both flags together. But the problem is only the not clarify SYNOPSIS or the implementation allow both together Source code part /usr/bin/wc/wc.c lines 104 / 111: while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "clmwL")) != -1) switch((char)ch) { case 'l': doline = true; break; case 'w': doword = true; break; case 'c': dochar = true; domulti = false; break; case 'L': dolongline = true; break; case 'm': domulti = true; dochar = false; break; case '?': default: usage(); } -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.home | help
