Description
An old pet peeve of mine:
There's lsindex, mkindex, reindex, rmindex
, all named according to the standard commands ls, mk*, rm
. Nice.
But then there's addattr, catattr, copyattr, listattr, rmattr
.
Here it's more a mix and match. Not so nice.
How about adding
alias cpattr="copyattr" alias lsattr="listattr"
to data/etc/profile? That wouldn't break old scripts and still increases consistency.
Or would it be possible/even cleaner to reverse these lines in profile
and rename the binaries themselves?

I think renaming the binaries would be the way to go, at least from an aesthetic view. Not sure how that would affect the system and existing scripts.
