From ca59fb27c239358027d7e84566dd9be095c6bb62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 06:45:48 +0000 Subject: Document that while the --backup option takes an optional argument, the -b option accepts none. (main): Use `backup type' in call to xget_version, not the now-deprecated `--version-control'. --- src/cp.c | 7 ++++--- src/ln.c | 5 +++-- src/mv.c | 5 +++-- 3 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'src') diff --git a/src/cp.c b/src/cp.c index 556d6e6c1..4c214b5c0 100644 --- a/src/cp.c +++ b/src/cp.c @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ /* cp.c -- file copying (main routines) - Copyright (C) 89, 90, 91, 1995-1999 Free Software Foundation. + Copyright (C) 89, 90, 91, 1995-2000 Free Software Foundation.
