| Description: |
Running the invalid command glob -path /etc -path /usr/share *bash* will give the following error message: "-path" cannot be used with "-directory" The command didn't contain "-directory", however. What it should really say is something like "-path" can only be given once or at most one instance of "-path" can be given The same problem occurs when using "-directory" twice: % glob -directory /etc -directory /usr/share *bash* "-directory" cannot be used with "-path" Discussion of this issue on the IRC channel already revealed that the error is in tclFileName.c, line 1309, in core-8-6-6. | |||
