Hi, I was looking for the non-POSIX FreeBSD utilities from here: http://people.freebsd.org/~schweikh/posix-utilities.html#file He talks about -d -h and -M options currently not available. And i did a quick source to find original related document of POSIX. I met following PDFs may be interesting: http://www.opengroup.org/rtforum/uploads/40/7319/POSIX_and_Linux_Application_Compatibility_v0.92_released_22_April_05.pdf 9th page and 6th item says that: The Linux file utility is not required to support the –M, –h, –d, and the –i options. The portable application shall not use these options. Is there a contradiction between them? I wonder that what jobs these options should perform? And is there any developer currently working on it? regards, +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + http://www.enderunix.org/simsek http://www.endersys.com + + EnderUNIX SDT @ Tr Endersys Consultancy Ltd. + + simsek ~ enderunix.org baris.simsek ~ endersys.com + + Volunteer, Software Developer Director + + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
