|
|
|
What: chkdupexe
|
|
|
|
|
Why: unnecessary, in Perl, not used in distributions, possible to replace
|
|
|
|
|
by a simple shell script.

|
|
|
What: 'udev' and 'list' blkid(8) output formats
|
|
|
|
|
Why: udevd links libblkid directly; the 'list' is unnecessary, use lsblk(8)

|
What: line(1) command
|
|
|
|
|
Why: useless, nobody uses this command, head(1) is better

|
|
|
What: losetup -s
|
|
|
|
|
Why: the option -s is in collision with the Loop-AES losetup dialect that is used
|
|
|
|
|
in some distributions. Use the long version (--show) only.

What: tunelp

|
What: arch(1) command
|
2007-07-11 05:37:40 -05:00
|
|
|
Why: deprecated in favor of uname(1) or arch(1) from coreutils
|
2007-07-03 06:14:36 -05:00
|
|
|
|
2012-02-21 14:19:25 -06:00
|
|
|
The arch(1) has been added (during 2.13 development cycle) to coreutils
|
2007-07-03 06:14:36 -05:00
|
|
|
where it will be maintained as an alias for uname(1) command.
