3When I reviewed it, I felt it was a duplicate of the question I linked in my comment. So I voted to leave closed.– muruDec 18, 2017 at 2:04

It is closed as "unclear what you are asking" but it appears clear perhaps with revisions OP made . It may be a duplicate as Muru points out but in the mean time VTR now and then we can VTC as duplicate later? Could a mod step in and change the close reason?– WinEunuuchs2UnixDec 25, 2017 at 17:47
