Summary |
0001365: rm -v description implies only operands are reported |
|
Description |
The changes from bug 0001154 to add rm -v were supposed to require that rm reports each file that it removes. However, the description of -v is:After file has been removed, write a message to standard output indicating that it has been removed. which implies that rm -rv only reports the removal of file operands and does not report the removal of files within a directory specified as an operand.
The changes at line 103806 correctly state that each removed file is reported.
Line 103858 in STDOUT also has two minor problems:- Use of "the file" is odd, as if rm only ever removes one file.
- The phrase "being removed" implies that something could be written before the removal attempt is made, rather than (as per the other changes) only after successful removal.
