Hi I'm thinking about adding a flag to cp(1)/mv(1) to make it never overwrite an existing file. (see PR 7828 for the original suggestion) I guess a natural flag to use is -n as in the PR but I want to know if this violates any of the standards that we are trying to conform to. Or is this a realy stupid idea for some other (standards) reason? /Johan K -- Johan Karlsson mailto:johan@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-standards" in the body of the message
