Full Discussion: Permissions for Renaming a File vs Directory
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Permissions for Renaming a File vs Directory Post 302387014 by zaxxon on Thursday 14th of January 2010 09:13:05 AM

Just tested this out of curiosity on my Debian Linux box and it works even for the directory. Same on AIX 5.3. Maybe it is special on your type of Unix derivative or Linux distribution.
Maybe tell us your OS type so some user with access to the same can confirm this.

BLAS-TEST(1)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						      BLAS-TEST(1)

NAME

       x{s,d,c,z}c?blat{1,2,3} - testing programs for blas

SYNOPSIS

       x{s,d,c,z}c?blat1
       x{s,d,c,z}c?blat{2,3} < parameter file

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page documents briefly the blas testing programs.	This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because
       the original programs do not have manual pages.

       blas is a library of Basic Linear Algebra routines, accessed through either a Fortran and/or a C interface.  These routines are categorized
       into  three  levels:  level1  referring to vecotr-vector operations, level2 to matrix-vector operations, and level3 to matrix-matrix opera-
       tions.	In addition, all routines are written in four "precisions", single precision real (s), double precision real (d), cingle precision
       complex (c), and double precision complex (z).
       The  testing  binaries  examine routines in the level indicated by the last character in the program name and in the precision indicated by
       the second character in the program name.  The stem "blat" in the program name refers to a Fortran interface tester, whereas a "cblat" stem
       refers to a C interface tester.
       The  test  programs  for  levels 2 and 3 read a set of parameters specifying the problem ranges to examine on standard input.  Sample input
       files are found in /usr/share/doc/blas-test/examples.  Files of the form {s,d,c,z}in{2,3} are input files for the C interface testing  pro-
       grams, while files or the form {s,d,c,z}blat{2,3}d are input files to the Fortran testing programs.
       On  Debian  systems,  these  programs are dynamically linked against the blas library.  This enables the user to test and compare alternate
       versions of the library, such as those provided by atlas, through the use of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD environment variables.  One
       can confirm the versions of the libraries being tested in a given environment with the aid of the ldd program.

OPTIONS

       These programs take no command line options.
