I added four different exit values, that are hopefully useful. 0 all requested rename operations were successful 1 all rename operations failed 2 some rename operations failed 4 nothing was renamed 64 unanticipated error occurred The changes can be found from my git repository below, and I will submit the patches 0005 and 0006 again to email list. There is also new change, 0007, that is a check the exit values are working as expected. --- snip The following changes since commit 575718a04aa0c053875041dc387e360f2dcaa70d: fallocate: use O_CREAT only for the default behavior (2014-06-26 14:45:02 +0200) are available in the git repository at: git://github.com/kerolasa/lelux-utiliteetit.git for you to fetch changes up to 40cbaab8022ba9e0dfeb3358655c0631bd1143bc: tests: add rename(1) return value check (2014-06-28 19:11:30 +0100) -- snip -- Sami Kerola http://www.iki.fi/kerolasa/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
