indeed, according to the documentation, the predicate is true if
stampfile is strictly newer than $file. So the implementation would
have to be something like:
# is_younger FILE FILES
# ---------------------
# Check that FILE is younger than all the FILES.
#
is_younger ()
{
a_status=0
a_file=$1
shift
for a_f in "$@"
do
a_list=`find "$a_file" -newer "$a_f"`
if test x"$a_list" != x"$a_file"; then
a_status=1; break
else :
fi
done
return $a_status
}
Have a nice day,
Stepan
