[cs631apue] Question about the project

[Tejas Nadkarni]

Thanks for this, do we have to override what a user selects based on
stdout?

i.e. ls -x | cat should it override and do single line or honor the -x flag?

I can set the defaults but trying to decide whether to do them after
processing user flags or before.
