Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-22 02:51:35] a at b dot c dot de Description: ------------ The comment at the bottom of Table 1 on the stat() manual page reads "* - only valid on systems supporting the st_blksize type--other systems (i.e. Windows) return -1." As written it says that Windows is the _only_ system that doesn't have st_blksize. If Windows was only supposed to be an example of such a system, the abbreviation should be "e.g." (exempli gratia - offered as an example), not "i.e." (id est - that is). So, _is_ Windows the only system that doesn't have a blk_size type, or was that only intended as an EGsample? Okay, so it's a pet peeve of mine, but it does change the meaning of what is written. Ranks up there with confusion between "its" and "it's". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36120&edit=1
