This is the only occurence of mkdir and thus the only place where directories are created. The mkdir(2) is in the then-part of the if-statement on line 194 and is only executed if uflag != 0. uflag is set by options -U or -u. Ergo: without -U or -u no directories are created. -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
