The argument isn't viable in english either. ;-) You are absolutely right. I never said it was an argument. In fact, I even stated that it wasn't. That was just a side note. Remember, I'm not against your patch -- I'm simply trying to find reasons why this should be commited, which I have yet to find. If someone chooses to commit the '-c' option for 'df' soley for the reason that 'du' command has the same option, I won't complain. I just find the reasoning a bit strange, that's all. I would like to let this thread go. All pros/cons for this matter, if there are any at all, have already been put on the table 2-3 emails ago. -Paul. P.S. If you had a 'df' option that gives me _new_ information, like %frag or something, you'd have my vote. (BTW, if you are taking suggestions, I'd rather have a 'df -p' that paints my house! :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
