|    cat vs. cp in slackbuilds    |
|    29 Oct 24 23:17:26    |
      From: smallm@panix.com              I've noticed slackbuilds tend to copy files in place using cat unless       they do multiple files in one command, in which case they of course must       use cp. Anyone know the thinking behind or origin of that?              I see a couple web hits with possibilities but nothing definitive...              https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/30295/cp-vs-cat-to-copy-a-file       https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/cat-vs-cp-777453/              Another possibility would be the GNU install program, but I never see       that used in slackbuild scripts.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
