I see! This means that the utility just doesn't want e.g. to resolve the absolute path of the symlink-target, because maybe it doesn't exist and maybe it will never exist and will only be used as lock (as Andreas wrote) or value holder. Now I also know why I didn't get it in the first place! I didn't realize that the first argument can also be non-existant. Now things are much clearer of course :) Thank you! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHKhA9eEFjZ1Jaui4RAlm3AJ9IduMr9kuGsg2zjcWQOD9RmqoVcwCdHDPb k/kuFKKRy8BdvS0O4mVzwx8= =dc9Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
