I'd love to fix this if somebody has > an idea to get getopt() to be nice to us here... How about an option "--tail" (and maybe -t) which defaults to 10 (and turns off the pager?), and then making the value to -n be non-optional? This fits with the behavior of the tail command, where the number for n is also non-optional if n is given. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
