I disagree. BSD and GNU implementations differ. Because of this, it's easier to discern intent of long flags.

- 0xdeadb00f 6y agoAlso, some BSD equivalents of GNU commands don't even have long flags.
- leoh 6y agoThat's not the point. The point is that you can discern intent if you are writing against the GNU implemention so one can trivially reimplement against BSD.
- scbrg 6y agoI assume the intent to discern, then, is that the script isn't supposed to run on BSD :-)
