Command line buffer limit?
Is there a limit (255 chars?) on the command line??
I'm trying to copy some generated java & class files from one dir to another and ID the old & new versions by:
find . -name FFSFIXADminCallbackBean.java
I then do a copy and paste of the source and target -
$ cp -p source target
It looks like my command gets truncated when it's executed...
(The directory structure is monstrous!!)
I'm running HPUX 11. Does this behave the same under Solaris 2.8?
Thanks,
John

dtprintcopysetupdata
DtPrintCopySetupData(library call) DtPrintCopySetupData(library call)
NAME
DtPrintCopySetupData -- copies one DtPrintSetupData structure to another
SYNOPSIS
#include <Print.h>
DtPrintSetupData* DtPrintCopySetupData(
DtPrintSetupData* target,
const DtPrintSetupData* source);
DESCRIPTION
The DtPrintCopySetupData function copies the DtPrintSetupData structure pointed to by source to the DtPrintSetupData structure pointed to
by target. Elements in target are updated only if different than the corresponding elements in source.
For elements that point to allocated memory, DtPrintCopySetupData allocates new memory for those elements updated in target. Existing ele-
ments in target are freed using XtFree. All elements in a DtPrintSetupData structure can be freed by calling DtPrintFreeSetupData.
If source or target is NULL, the copy will not be performed.
ARGUMENTS
target A pointer to the DtPrintSetupData structure to copy to.
source A pointer to the DtPrintSetupData structure to copy from.
RETURN VALUE
If DtPrintCopySetupData completes successfully, it returns a pointer to the target structure. If it fails, it returns a NULL pointer.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
None.
RESOURCES
None.
ACTIONS
/MESSAGES
None.
ERRORS
