From 57ac7f5a0273f75489b6cff1369fd7afab36cfe2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 07:50:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] (Standards conformance): Use "head -10" rather than "head -1" as example of obsolete usage, since the POSIX consensus is that "head -1" could be supported even if we don't yet have clear consensus on "head -10".
