mtree(8) reservation of 16 -1 char[] in mtree files...
I was just going through mtree(8) and happen to notice that mtree while populating a mtree file by the following [1] reference that it suffixes spaces as some sort of way to either reserve or pad the result for every value. Has anyone else see this behavior in Xterm or cons2* terminals from stable/8 i386 @ r238072 ? I tested this with /bin/sh /bin/csh /bin/bash /bin/ksh on cons25 cons50 xterm logged in directly as either a user or root through ssh and local. I looked over the mtree files in /etc/mtree and they do not exhibit the same thing so it now has me curious if something snuck in that would have changed this behavior. I have not had time to see if this repeats on other arch's 1). mtree -c -d -i -n -k uname,gname,mode,nochange >mtree.out Thanks to anyone that hits me with the clue bat if I have missed something. -- - (2^(N-1)) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
