From 13f323786c0317347b448ae365fec95856dc0b8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:41:22 +0200 Subject: stat: remove support for deprecated --context (-Z) option * src/stat.c (main): Remove support for the --context (-Z) option. In upstream releases this option has always been a no-op. It was first ignored for compatibility, and since the June 2008 commit, 574f7614 (coreutils-7.0), its use has evoked a warning. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it. --- NEWS | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'NEWS') diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 46067b8db..3e170c501 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -14,6 +14,10 @@ GNU coreutils NEWS -*- outline -*- sort -g now uses long doubles for greater range and precision. + stat no longer accepts the --context (-Z) option.
