Follow-up Comment #1, bug #57830 (project octave): How about system functions that also return a value in addition to a status flag and error message? Should these throw an error if nargout < 2 (or nargout < 3 in the case of 'pipe')? * lstat * pipe * readdir * readlink * stat * uname * waitpid More functions that I think fit your original criteria, first those that are in Matlab, so we can test whether they need to be changed: * copyfile * fileattrib * movefile And these POSIX system functions similar to the others you listed: * exec * fcntl * kill _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57830> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
