Hello dear developers,
I hope I am somehow hitting the correct list, if not, please
redirect me to the correct list.
While trying to change some permissions in my homedir, this happened to
me:
scice# chown nico.nico *
chown: unrecognized option `--owner=0'
Try `chown --help' for more information.
Well, sometime before I did a mistake with tar, which created the
file `--owner=0'.
What I am asking you: Why does chown accept arguments, which are
not at the beginning? Is that a glibc "bug" or "feature"?
I know it from some other Unices, that only parameters allowed
at first, not after arguments.
Thanks for any help,
Nico
