| Summary | 0000973: paste -s description omits behaviour for empty files | ||||
| Description | The description of paste -s does not say what happens if an input file is empty. Existing practice is to write an empty line for that file. | ||||
| Desired Action | On Page: 3016 Line: 100085 Section: paste In the OPTIONS section, for the -s option change from: Concatenate all of the lines of each separate input file in command line order. The <newline> of every line except the last line in each input file shall be replaced with the <tab>, unless otherwise specified by the -d option. to: Concatenate all of the lines from each input file into one line of output per file, in command line order. The <newline> of every line except the last line in each input file shall be replaced with a <tab>, unless otherwise specified by the -d option. If an input file is empty, the output line corresponding to that file shall consist of only a <newline> character. | ||||

Interpretation response ------------------------ The standard does not speak to this issue, and as such no conformance distinction can be made between alternative implementations based on this. This is being referred to the sponsor. Rationale: ------------- The description of paste -s does not say what happens if an input file is empty. Existing practice is to write an empty line for that file. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): ----------------------------------------------------- On Page: 3016 Line: 100085 Section: paste In the OPTIONS section, for the -s option change from: Concatenate all of the lines of each separate input file in command line order. The <newline> of every line except the last line in each input file shall be replaced with the <tab>, unless otherwise specified by the -d option. to: Concatenate all of the lines from each input file into one line of output per file, in command line order.
