then doesnt it sound like an error in UNIX system. that we actually have to change file names to make them visible.

like suppose one installed program reads from the file /home/vik/impdata

then one day i find that i have confidential data in impdata and want to make it hidden. in that case. in that case that program too will stop working as the file name has changed.

some of you might think am dragging this issue a little too further but i really believe that this is not the correct way( rename) to make a file hidden

raddepend

RADDEPEND(1)						      General Commands Manual						      RADDEPEND(1)

NAME

       raddepend - find RADIANCE scene dependencies

SYNOPSIS

       raddepend file ..

DESCRIPTION

       Raddepend  uses	getbbox(1)  to	expand scene file arguments and find file dependencies for make(1) or rad(1).  Raddepend looks only in the
       current directory, so dependencies hidden elsewhere in the filesystem will not be found or named.

       The output is the name of files, one per line, that were accessed during the expansion of the input file arguments.  The file arguments are
       excluded from the list.	If no input files are given, the standard input is read.

AUTHOR

       Greg Ward

BUGS

       On  some  older NFS systems, the file access dates are not updated promptly.  As a result, raddepend may not be 100% reliable on these sys-
       tems.  If the output seems to be missing essential files, this is no doubt why.	The only fix is to put in a longer sleep time between  the
       getbbox call and the final ls(1).
