@opsitive Not sure he used it *right*, because he manually checks for missing args and the seems to say it can do that.

But I never use it at all, so bonus points for sure. (If i needed to do that, I'd just switch to a Real Language)

I should really add getopts to my arsenal, bc hundreds of system() calls is not always better...

Probably a silly question.....
Do I trust this to only delete empty directories?

find . -empty -type d -delete

I think that is the easiest way to find and remove empty directories.

and when I take -delete off, it does show directories that all appear to be empty....

I've been using linux for years now, and there are some things I just don't use enough or at all, but I know about....so should I trust this?

Something a normal person could just open and search through.

Unlike there isn't even a way to transcribe or use it anonymously.

Bonne nuit.

Des gens s’amusent Ă  rĂ©diger des «manpages» par ici ?

HĂ© bien j’en fais un sur Steam(6) car leur page dĂ©diĂ©e est bien bĂąclĂ©e. Tant d’arguments possibles dans cette commande


J’avais marre d’une telle pauvretĂ© donc je le refais.

C’est l’occasion d’apprendre plus sur Man, Groff et les bonnes pratiques de documentation.

@mikuphile @InsignificantThoughts Using partitions alongside is asking to miss early signs of a failing disk when corruption & errors happen in the other partitions btrfs cannot check.

Of course that assumes you run periodic scrubs as the prescribes.

I also updated many man pages in 11.4.54 to list the name services or SMF services used today instead of the /etc/ files used long ago, and made a general editing pass over many section 1 man pages to improve them.

You can see those, along with the other changes between 11.4.51 and 11.4.54 at:

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out the output format specification for `stat -r' in
(Basically just trying to come up with a way to get a file's age in OpenBSD, because date -r isn't supported)

The stat(1) doesn't specify the format

There's three fields that look like an epoch date (which is what I'm looking for), and I'm trying to figure out which one is mtime.
