zgrep might be shorter than gunzip | cat | grep but I've always liked |
| 20 |
how the UNIX shell was extremely modular. You have lots of utilities |
| 21 |
that do one thing, but do it extremely well. Adding things all back into |
| 22 |
one command seems to me would lead to larger packages since everything |
| 23 |
needs zlib support directly now. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Anyway, not relevant to the actual thread, but I've always wondered what |
| 26 |
price is being paid for having features of multiple utilities rolled |
| 27 |
into one. It may barely be quantifiable, but it's not 0. More code |
| 28 |
rolled into one package, more chances for bugs, etc, etc. |
