Subject: [PATCH e2fsprogs] return status from chattr
This is for RH bug #180596, Chattr command doesn't provide expected
exit code in case of failure.
(trying to clear out an e2fsprogs bug backlog, can you tell?) :)
This is a little funky as a result of the man page saying that
links encountered on recursive traversal are (silently?) ignored.
I changed this a bit so that if it's explicitly listed on the
commandline, the link itself gets chattr'd. I'm not quite sure
what is intended here; that the links are not *followed* or
that they are not chattr'd? Seems a little odd to me.
I tried to follow the way other recursive commands work, for example
chmod -R, and carry on in the face of any errors. If any error
was encountered, exit with an error. If no errors, exit 0.
Also, if both flags and -v (version) are specified, and the flag
set encounters an error, the version set is not attempted. Is this
ok or should both commands be tried?
Finally, I'm curious, the utility ignores anything that's not a link,
regular file, or dir, but the kernel code doesn't have these checks.
Should it?
Comments?
Thanks,
-Eric
