Extension is not all so interesting because, as you point out, most of it is C code, and .h files are mostly like .c in that they have structs and function prototype keywords. But sorting by name buys:
-rw-r--r-- 1 jengelh users 45477128 Oct 12 18:47 linux-2.6.23.1.orig.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 jengelh users 45560647 Oct 16 16:18 linux-2.6.23.1.new.tar.bz2
(actually, `find "$@" -print0 | sort -z | tar -T- --null --no-r --owner=root --group=root -cvjf "$output";` was used) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
