Hi, Reference: > What do people think about the following change to the behaviour of > ls -l? Inconsistent. I see how it might be useful, could be atractive, but if you do it for /dev/rod* for consistency it should be done for /dev/pcaudio* & all other /dev & then there'd be a mass of manuals that refer to the old decimal values, to be updated by ... who ? I grant you those large decimals are ugly as hell, maybe we should bite the inconsistency bullet :-) > Currently: > > j@uriah 54% ls -l /dev/*ctl > crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 24, 128 Feb 10 1995 /dev/pcaudioctl > crw------- 1 root wheel 70, 536870912 Aug 19 14:44 /dev/rod0.ctl > crw------- 1 root wheel 13, 536870912 Jun 10 1995 /dev/rsd0.ctl > crw------- 1 root wheel 13, 536870920 Jun 10 1995 /dev/rsd1.ctl > crw------- 1 root wheel 13, 536870928 Jun 15 1995 /dev/rsd2.ctl > crw------- 1 root wheel 13, 536870936 Aug 15 23:50 /dev/rsd3.ctl > > Intended: > > j@uriah 55% ./ls -l /dev/*ctl > crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 24, 128 Feb 10 1995 /dev/pcaudioctl > crw------- 1 root wheel 70, 0x20000000 Aug 19 14:44 /dev/rod0.ctl > crw------- 1 root wheel 13, 0x20000000 Jun 10 1995 /dev/rsd0.ctl > crw------- 1 root wheel 13, 0x20000008 Jun 10 1995 /dev/rsd1.ctl > crw------- 1 root wheel 13, 0x20000010 Jun 15 1995 /dev/rsd2.ctl > crw------- 1 root wheel 13, 0x20000018 Aug 15 23:50 /dev/rsd3.ctl > > > -- > cheers, J"org > > joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE > Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) > Regards, Julian. -- Julian H.
