[Quoting Ilya Zakharevich, on April 7 2003, 17:07, in "Re: [PATCH 5.8.1 @19"] > Here is the updated version of the patch. Getting better. I think $STANDARD_HELP_VERSION is a good compromise between compatibility, safety and functionality. OUTPUT_HELP_VERSION is a nice idea, but I think it is unnecessary and can be eliminated. Output goes to either STDERR (for 'unaware' scripts) or STDOUT (for 'aware' scripts with $STANDARD_HELP_VERSION set). But a script with $OUTPUT_HELP_VERSION is also 'aware', and therefore capable of other techniques to get the output elsewhere. -- JohanThread Previous | Thread Next
