The reason that "get -l" is not implemented at in CSSC the moment is
simply that no specification exists for the format of the output and
the Unix documentation doesn't state how the -l and -lp options
interact with the other possible options to the "get" command. For
example, what's the precise effect of "-l -e", and how does "-lp"
interact with the "-g" and "-p" options? There are likely to be
other cases where the behaviour needs to be specified, too.
So, if you would like to document that in sufficient detail to make it
possible to implement the feature, I'm happy to write the code
implementing the options you need. Be advised though that your
documentation enhancement to CSSC is likely to be significant enough
for it to be necessary for you to assign copyright in your change to
the Free Software Foundation. I hope that's OK.
Thanks,
James.
