Yes, I guess that's true; I had convinced myself that "file" wasn't accurate since "-f directory/" didn't scan the files within that directory tree, but as you say "-f file" does scan the file content. BTW, given I'm adding "filename" to the list, I intend to change the existing "file" to "file content" to be clear. Are you OK with that? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
