Description Derek Tattersall 1999-12-16 12:22:33 UTC
The following mail appeared on devel-list.  I am including it here because
it exhibits a bug and part of the fix.

Notice the spelling of the option "mtiem" should be "mtime".

Hi,

When passing an unknow option to tmpwatch it sigsegv,
this is due to the struct options used by getopt_long not terminated by
NULL;

Here is the patch :

--- tmpwatch.c.orig     Wed Dec 15 16:26:00 1999
+++ tmpwatch.c  Wed Dec 15 16:26:31 1999

     { "quiet", 0, 0, 'q' },
     { "atime", 0, 0, GETOPT_ATIME },
     { "mtiem", 0, 0, GETOPT_MTIME },
+    { 0, 0, 0, 0 }
   };

   if (argc == 1) usage();



see you
