For example the pattern a*[/b* may match all filenames beginning with 'b' in the directory "a*[" or it may match all filenames beginning with 'b' in all directories with names beginning with 'a' and ending with '['. If the pattern does not match any existing filenames or pathnames, the pattern string shall be left unchanged. XCU ERN 171 cut Accept as marked below The proposed change in the rdvk was deemed unacceptable as it would change the standard significantly . Insert as new APP USAGE to the first para for cut The cut and fold utilities can be used to create text files out of files with arbitrary line lengths. The cut utility should be used when the number of lines (or records) needs to remain constant. The fold utility should be used when the contents of long lines need to be kept contiguous. This can be an SD5 change for D4R XCU ERN 172 fold Accept as marked below send down interps track, std is clear , std is wrong In DESCRIPTION change : The fold utility shall not insert a immediately before or after any to: The fold utility shall not insert a immediately before or after any , unless the following character has a width greater than one and would cause the line width to exceed /width/.
