| Summary | 0001732: cp and mv EXIT STATUS does not account for -i | ||||
| Description | The description of cp exit status 0 is:All input files were copied successfully.and for mv it is: All input files were moved successfully.These do not take into account a "no" answer to a prompt when -i is used. Compare with rm: Each directory entry was successfully removed, unless its removal was canceled by a non-affirmative response to a prompt for confirmation. | ||||
| Desired Action | On page 2609 line 84793 section cp, change:All input files were copied successfully.to: Each file was successfully copied, unless copying it was canceled by a non-affirmative response to a prompt for confirmation. On page 3020 line 100451 section mv, change: All input files were moved successfully.to: Each file was successfully moved, unless moving it was canceled by a non-affirmative response to a prompt for confirmation. | ||||

Interpretation response ------------------------ The standard is unclear on this issue, and no conformance distinction can be made between alternative implementations based on this. This is being referred to the sponsor. Rationale: ------------- The cp and mv utility's EXIT STATUS sections did not properly account for the interaction with the -i option. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): ------------------------------------------------------- On page 2609 line 84793 section cp, change: All input files were copied successfully.to: All requested files (excluding files where a non-affirmative response was given to a request for confirmation) were successfully copied. On page 3020 line 100451 section mv, change: All input files were moved successfully.to: All requested files (excluding files where a non-affirmative response was given to a request for confirmation) were successfully moved. On page 3200, line 107342-107343 section rm, change: Each directory entry was successfully removed, unless its removal was canceled by a non-affirmative response to a prompt for confirmation.to: All requested directory entries (excluding directory entries where a non-affirmative response was given to a request for confirmation) were successfully deleted. |
