Hi Dominic.
In recutils.info line 4375 it says: "If the specified FILE does not
exist, it is created."
However, running:
$ recins -f Name -v "Mr Foo" contacts.rec
Returns the error:
"recins: error: file contacts.rec is not writable."
In utils/recutl.c line 390 the check for whether a file is writable is:
"euidaccess (file_name, W_OK) == 0", which would be false for non-existent
files.
The man pages or --help do not mention whether or not a non-existent file is
created. Perhaps the Info docs just need updating.
I just updated the manual.
Thanks!
