From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!duke!mcnc!pbr Newsgroups: net.bugs.4bsd Title: Bug in ul.c Article-I.D.: mcnc.1474 Posted: Wed Jan 19 11:19:42 1983 Received: Fri Jan 21 06:57:18 1983 I found a problem with the 'ul' program. It ignores command line arguments if it thinks the user is on a dumb terminal and certain other conditions are met. It calls cat but forgets that argv has been incremented past the zeroth argument, therefore, cat doesn't see the filename and defaults to standard input. This is not a pretty solution, since it counts on the fact that cat does not care what it is called. But it is a very simple fix. If cat did look at the zeroth argument, it would think it was being called "ul". In any case, this is a bug that needs to be fixed. -Peter Reintjes duke!mcnc!pbr ************** file ul.c ******************* 58c58 < execv("/bin/cat",argv); --- > execv("/bin/cat",--argv); 79c79 < execv("/bin/cat",argv); --- > execv("/bin/cat",--argv);
