-A or -a ''?
(There is the workaround of having an empty argument; if I recall the sh(1p) builtin read supports this at least with its -b option - I remember this because [an article trended on Hacker News…
"-a but with null bytes; pads the input buffer with null bytes in the event of an incomplete read.
Perhaps that this is a kibibyte shouldn't be noted here. It may give the false impression that one could specify a SI prefix, e.g. dj -b 1KiB.
It's testing for bloat. It drives home the fact that we will not compromise on making good, simple tools. If we did our tests would fail us.
Our true(1) and false(1) implementations are POSIX without extensions and shouldn't be extended. Maybe it would be better to only have them in the POSIX compatibility section.
Integer parsing has to be done in our C programs in a couple of places:
- src/dj.c:299 has an awkward integer parsing…
Goodness, I just saw the WIP: . It makes sense then that it seemed that this was unfinished. I really like where this is headed though.
GNU false(1), a notoriously POSIX non-compliant implementation, would pass here, as (if I recall) it returns EXIT_FAILURE for improper usage. It shouldn't pass, though, because it prints a usage text to the standard output when usage help or version information are queried.
