Hi, It seems to me that the non-POSIX concern was actually due to a misinterpretation of the sentence "do not write any diagnostic messages concerning this condition" (_concerning this condition_ being the important part). So that part of the bug should be considered resolved.
As for the insufficient documentation, coreutils man pages tend to be a bit short on words, because they are generated from the command's help output. But they always point to the Texinfo manual for details, which in this case states: "Do not warn about or create files that do not exist." So the "no warning about non-existing files" behavior _is_ documented. I would therefore consider this bug done, but Clint, you reopened it before, without really justifying it. Do you still believe something is broken and needs fixing? Cheers, -- Benoît Knecht -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
