Hello,

on a current i386 system, cap_mkdb creates an empty db if no output
filename (-f option) is specified (or if it's equal to the first input
filename):


$ cp /usr/share/misc/termcap .
$ cap_mkdb -v termcap                                                          
cap_mkdb: 0 capability records
$ rm termcap.db                                                                
$ cap_mkdb -v -f out termcap                                                   
[...]
cap_mkdb: 1032 capability records

The same commands on a netbsd-2 system:

$ cp /usr/share/misc/termcap .                                                 
$ cap_mkdb -v termcap                                                          
[...]
cap_mkdb: 1032 capability records
$ rm termcap.db                                                                
$ cap_mkdb -v -f out termcap 
[...]
cap_mkdb: 1032 capability records


Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

TIA, Jukka
