Subject: Re: [PATCH] coccicheck: Configuring COCCI parameter for supporting a
 directory search

> What is the relation between the last two if branches?

A small addition is proposed for this bash script.


> If the first one fails, does that mean that $COCCI has no definition?

No. - It was checked if an empty sting was passed.
A file system check is tried then to determine if a valid directory was specified.
This parameter could be used then for the specification of a specific start
directory for calling the tool “find”, couldn't it?


> In that case, is the final else useful?

Hopefully, yes.

Which software behaviour do you expect for a string which would not
be recognised as an usable directory in a specific moment
during script execution?

Markus
