Hi Ralph,
You're right. As you might expect, the code just
just iterates up from 1 until stat(2) finds the first
opening.
I'll update the man page.
Thanks!
David

Hi David,
With auto and suffix, n is one beyond the existing file with the
highest number in the same form.
I think it's more that n is the first number from 1 that isn't already
used? So with foo.{1,2,3,9} it's foo.4.
Cheers, Ralph.
