-
-2005-10-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-

- no longer confident that the m4/stdbool.m4 patch suffices.
-
-2005-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Undo previous change, since
- today's change to m4/stdbool.m4 should catch it.
-
-2005-10-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * TODO: rm: add support for a -I option, like that from FreeBSD's.
-
-2005-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-2005-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/touch.c (touch): Handle "touch -c - >&-" by checking for EBADF
- and ENOSYS.
- Do not pass "-" to futimens; pass NULL instead.
- If close (STDIN_FILENO) fails, report the error separately instead
- of letting the 'close' pollute errno.
- * tests/touch/empty-file: Test "touch -" too.
- * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.

-
-2005-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- iteration. Otherwise, with a touch program that fails on unwritable
- files, (this happens at least on linux-2.2.20) a -w file left behind
- from a previous iteration could cause a spurious test failure.
-
-2005-09-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * tests/chmod/usage: Undo the s/files/file/ change, but add
- comments about why the old version was desired.
-
-2005-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/ls-2/tests (setuid-etc): Work around output mismatch when
- a just-created test file cannot be made set-group-ID.
-
- Avoid test failures on alpha-linux-1.sf.net.
- * tests/chmod/usage: Use newer trap and tmpdir-creation framework.
- Fix apparent typos (s/files/file/) in inner loop.
-
-2005-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: "touch -" now touches standard output.
- * src/touch.c (touch): Implement this.
- (usage): Document this.
-
- * src/copy.c (HAVE_FCHMOD, HAVE_FCHOWN): Define to 0 if not defined.

- previous patch.
- (copy_reg) [HAVE_FCHOWN]: Prefer fchown to chown.
- (copy_reg) [HAVE_FCHMOD]: Prefer fchmod to chmod.
- (copy_internal): Don't invoke chown if fchown worked,
- and likewise for chmod and fchmod.
-
-2005-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-

-
- * Makefile.maint (sc_no_if_have_config_h): New rule.

- * tests/seq/basic (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Disable these tests for now.
- They fail with non-gcc compilers and some combinations
- of options and libraries on Solaris systems.
-
- * tests/misc/date (uninit-64): Restore this test.
- Add start-up code to detect, and work around, the cases in
- which the test might fail.
-
-2005-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * tests/misc/date (uninit-64): Remove this test. It wasn't
- portable in theory (it doesn't work on hosts where 'int' is 64
- bits, example) or in practice (Solaris 8 localtime returns garbage
- in tm_year for the specified date, but that's not coreutils's
- fault).
-
-2005-09-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Preserve time stamps if
- x->preserve_timestamps is set, using futimens so that
- we needn't resolve the path again.
- (copy_internal): Don't preserve time stamps if copy_reg did it
- already.
- * src/install.c (change_timestamps): First arg is source
- struct stat, not file name. All uses changed.
- (install_file_in_file): Stat the source file.
- Don't try to change time stamps if copy_file did it.
- * src/system.h: Don't include utime.h; not needed.
- (struct utimbuf) [!defined HAVE_STRUCT_UTIMBUF]: Remove; not needed.
-
-2005-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/od.c: Use `verify' to ensure that our hard-coded
- bytes_to_*_digits arrays are long enough. Of course, 17+-byte
- integral types aren't on the near horizon, but just in case...
- (MAX_INTEGRAL_TYPE_SIZE): Move definition to precede new first use.
- (bytes_to_oct_digits, bytes_to_signed_dec_digits):
- (bytes_to_unsigned_dec_digits, bytes_to_hex_digits): Change base
- type from `char' to the clearer `unsigned int'.

-2005-09-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/rmdir.c (EEXIST, ENOTEMPTY): Remove unused macros.
-

- ../lib/xalloc.h, with args properly parenthesized, and using
- verify_expr rather than the old VERIFY_EXPR.
-
-2005-09-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/install/basic-1: Require that this test be run as non-root.
- Otherwise, it fails due to the fact that the chmod 0 . doesn't
- affect root.
-
-2005-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Change comment to
- agree with the code.
-
-2005-09-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Return RM_ERROR, not `1',
- when attempting to remove `/' with --preserve-root.
-
- * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Syntactic tweak: move an
- assignment out of an if-expression.
-
-2005-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/extract-magic (usage): Request that additions be sent to
- bug-coreutils@gnu.org, too.
-
-2005-09-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/misc/date (rfc822-1): Compensate for Solaris 5.9's /bin/sh,
- which emits a diagnostic to stderr when this test's LC_ALL=de_DE
- setting cannot be honored.
-
- * tests/misc/date (subfmt-up1): Put quotes around format string
- to protect `^' from interpretation by some shells.
- Add a use of OUT_SUBST to compensate for Solaris strftime's slightly
- different formatting of %c.
-
- * src/dd.c (main): When failing to truncate, mention both the seek
- block count and the block size, in case the block size is very large.
- Now `make distcheck' should pass, once again.
-
-2005-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/copy.c: Include stat-time.h.
- (copy_internal): Use its functions instead of the obsolete
- TIMESPEC_NS macro.
- * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
- * src/date.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/du.c (struct duinfo, duinfo_init, duinfo_set, duinfo_add):

- * src/tail.c (record_open_fd, tail_forever): Likewise.
- * src/test.c (get_mtime, binary_operator): Likewise.
- * src/touch.c (touch, main): Likewise.
- * src/test.c (get_mtime): Renamed from age_of. All uses changed.
-
-2005-09-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Date no longer needs to allocate virtual memory to do its job,
- so it can no longer fail due to an out-of-memory condition.
-
- * src/date.c: Include fprintftime.h.
- Don't include strftime.h or xanstrftime.h -- no longer needed.
- (show_date): Use new fprintftime function rather than xanstrftime.
- Correct comment: this function no longer handles a NULL format string.
- * src/du.c: Likewise.
- * NEWS: Mention this.
-
- * tests/misc/date (subfmt-up1): Test the combination of the
- to-upper-case modifier (^) and a conversion specifier that
- expands to a string containing lower case characters.
-
-2005-09-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: uname -a no longer generates the -p and -i outputs if they

- a field width.
-
-2005-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/dd.c: Detect some very unlikely buffer overflows.
- (INPUT_BLOCK_SLOP, OUTPUT_BLOCK_SLOP): New macros.
- (MAX_BLOCKSIZE): Now accepts an arg. All uses changed.
- (page_size): New var.
- (scanargs, skip, main): Use more-straightforward way to detect overflow.
- (dd_copy): Use page_size rather than invoking getpagesize.
- Use INPUT_BLOCK_SLOP, OUTPUT_BLOCK_SLOP.
- (main): Set page_size.
- Avoid a call to stat in the usual case where ftruncate succeeds.
-
- * src/expr.c (docolon): Add IF_LINT check to avoid GCC warning.
-
- * configure.ac: Don't invoke AC_CONFIGURE_HOST directly; AB_INIT
- does it for us, and our invocation evokes a diagnostic from
- Autoconf 2.59.
-
- * NEWS: date has a new --rfc-3339 option, and the old --iso-8601
- option is deprecated. date, du, ls, and pr also have new time format
- specifiers %:z, %::z, %:::z.
- * src/date.c (TIME_SPEC_DATE): No longer needs to be nonzero, so
- remove the "=1".
- (TIME_SPEC_HOURS, TIME_SPEC_MINUTES): Must be at end now, so put
- them there.
- (time_spec_string, time_spec): Hours and minutes must be at
- start now, so put them there.
- (rfc_2822_format): Now a string constant, not a boolean. All uses
- changed.
- (iso_8601_format, rfc_format): Remove.
- (RFC_3339_OPTION): New constant.
- (long_options): Add --rfc-3339.
- (usage): Add --rfc-3339. Don't mention --iso-8601.
- Mention %:z, %::z, %:::z.
- (main): Simplify calculation of 'format'; it was getting too hairy
- to follow. Add --rfc-3339.
- (show_date): Assume format arg is not NULL, which is the case
- now. The default code is moved to 'main'. This simplifies things
- and allows the default to be calculated just once.
- * tests/misc/date: Add tests for --rfc-3339, %:z, %::z, %:::z.
-
-2005-09-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- size calculations for very long lines.
-
-2005-09-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Support regular expressions in 64-bit code correctly, by
- importing the latest gnulib regexp code, and not assuming
- that sizes fit in 32 bits.
- * src/csplit.c (process_regexp): Store match length in regoff_t,
- not int. Assume that negative return values less than -2
- represent regoff_t overflow.
- * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise.
- * src/nl.c (proc_text): Likewise.
- * src/ptx.c (SKIP_SOMETHING, find_occurs_in_text): Likewise.
- * src/tac.c (tac_seekable): Likewise.

- int versus size_t mismatch.
-
- * NEWS: Document "niceness" vs "nice value".
- * configure.ac (utils_cv_func_setpriority): Simplify the tests.
- Define HAVE_NICE rather than NICE_PRIORITY (since a niceness is
- not a priority); all uses changed.
- * src/nice.c (main): Hoist errno=0 outside the ifdef.
-
-2005-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/misc/date (neg-secs2, fill-1, fill-2): Add new tests.
-
-2005-09-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Use the phrase "niceness" instead of "nice value" to describe
- the biased nice value that can go negative. This corrects
- a discrepancy with POSIX, which states that nice values are
- nonnegative.
- * src/nice.c (GET_NICENESS): Renamed from GET_NICE_VALUE.
- All uses changed.
- (usage): Say "niceness" rather than "nice value".

-2005-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/du.c (time_args): Use NULL in place of 0.
-
-2005-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/dcgen: Don't omit comments until there is better documentation.

-
-2005-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: "rm -FOO" now suggests "rm ./-FOO" if the file "-FOO"
- exists and "-FOO" is not a valid option.
- * src/rm.c: Include lstat.h, quotearg.h.
- (diagnose_leading_hyphen): New function.
- (main): Use it.
-
-2005-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/du.c: Go ahead and leave the patch in (i.e., revert
- today's change). It doesn't cause a problem after all, since
- --exclude-from=- is always handled before --files0-from=F.
-
- * src/du.c: Revert the du.c part of the change from 2005-07-02:
- That change (to reopen stdin on F for --files0-from=F) made it so
- --exclude-from=- and --files0-from=F would not work together.
-
-2005-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- equal-to-STDOUT_FILENO parameter and associated assertion.
- Adjust all callers.
-
-2005-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ln.c (do_link): If ln is invoked with --interactive (-i),
- encounters an existing destination file, and gets an affirmative
- response, then first try to unlink the destination file rather
- than simply failing. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
- FIXME: add test for this
-
- * src/ln.c (main): Declare `target_directory' with const attribute.
- * src/du.c (time_style): Add `const' attribute.
- (tot_dui): Remove unnecessary (and too-short) initializer list.
-
-2005-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/sort.c (usage) [-b,-t]: Ensure that there are at least two
- spaces between each option and the corresponding description -- this
- lets help2man format entries properly. Reported by Edward Welbourne.
-
-2005-08-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/sort.c (usage): Fix typo s/POS 2/POS2/.

- This sometimes gives better results on networked file systems
- that do not respect POSIX semantics. Problem reported by
- Bruno Haible.
-
-2005-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-

-
- * configure.ac: Remove check for AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ.
- * src/cat.c, src/ls.c, src/stty.c: Include stropts.h if available,

- * src/cat.c: Use HAVE_SYS_IOCTL_H instead of _POSIX_SOURCE
- to decide whether to include <sys/ioctl.h>.

- (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE): Change last arg from T's maximum value
- to T itself. All callers changed. Check that T is unsigned, and

-
-2005-06-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Address the following "du" issues:
-
- - The option name "--last-time=TYPE" is different from the ls's option
- "--time=TYPE" with a similar meaning. I assume this wasn't intended.
-
- - --time-style implies --time, but this is not true for "ls". It's
- better to be consistent.
-
- - Since we don't have POSIX compatibility concerns, there's no need
- for the "posix-" styles, or for support of styles with newlines, or
- for the "locale" style, except for parsing the TIME_STYLE
- environment variable.
-
- - It's cleaner (and these days, no less efficient) to use functions
- rather than macros when possible.
-
- - struct duinfo doesn't need a 'valid' flag; you can simply use a time
- stamp that is less than all valid time stamps.
-
- - The code needs a bit of reformatting to fit the usual GNU style.
-
- * NEWS: du's --last-time option is now --time.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Fix typo: --time=use is
- equivalent to --time=atime, not --time=ctime.
- (ls invocation, du invocation): Fix typo: --time-style=long-iso
- is equivalent to a time style with a leading "+".
- (du invocation): --last-time is now --time.
- --time-style no longer implies --time.
- The locale and posix- stuff now works only for TIME_STYLE, not
- for --time-style. Give equivalent format for --time-style=iso.
- * src/du.c: Do not include hard-locale.h.
- (struct duinfo): Remove 'valid' member. All uses changed to use
- negative nsec instead.
- (DUIINFO_INI, DUINFO_SET, DUINFO_ADD): Remove.
- (duinfo_init, duinfo_set, duinfo_add): New functions, taking the
- role of the removed macros.
- (opt_time): Renamed from opt_last_time. All uses changed.
- (TIME_OPTION): Renamed from LAST_TIME_OPTION. All uses changed.
- (long_options, usage): Rename --last-time to --time.
- (locale_time_style): Remove.
- (time_style_args, time_style_types, usage): Remove support for
- --time-style=locale.
- (show_date): Now returns void, since nobody looked at the result.
- Assume FORMAT is not null. An empty FORMAT now outputs an empty time.
- Simplify nstrftime invocation.
- (main): Put in ls compatibility workarounds only for TIME_STYLE,
- not for --time-style. Omit unnecessary space in iso time style.

-
- * NEWS: `rm -r' now removes all of the files it should, even on
- systems with a buggy readdir affecting file systems inaccessible
- at configure time.
-
- In some unusual circumstances `rm -r' would fail to remove --
- or even consider -- all entries in a directory with more than 254
- (SunOS) or 338 (Darwin) entries. This could cause trouble even on
- other types of systems when using an affected file system via e.g.,
- NFS. The underlying cause was a bug in readdir on those systems.
- Coreutils-5.2.1 and earlier used a configure-time test designed
- to detect precisely those problem systems, but it would detect
- the problem and enable remove.c's work-around code only when its
- configure-time test was run on a losing file system. Obviously,
- it couldn't detect a problem if the offending file system wasn't
- tested or even mounted at coreutils configure time. Now, rm itself
- performs a minimal-cost run-time test to detect the problem.

- than the (incorrect) test -f and the (inadequate) ls. ls is
- inadequate because on some hosts a buggy mv will create a file of
- the wrong type (problem reported by Eric Blake). Skip this test
- if test -p doesn't work.
-
- * tests/chmod/setgid: Use numeric group ids, not symbolic group names,
- since the latter can have shell metacharacters in them (e.g., spaces).
- This follows up to the 2005-01-17 patch, which missed this occurrence.

-
- * NEWS: Describe user-visible change to dd.
- * src/Makefile.am (dd_LDADD, shred_LDADD, nanosec_libs):
- Remove $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME). These functions now use
- gethrxtime instead.
- * src/dd.c: Include gethrxtime.h, xtime.h.
- (start_time): Now of type xtime_t, not struct timespec.
- (print_stats, main): Use gethrxtime rather than gettime.
- * src/ls.c (time): Remove obsolete decl.
- (get_current_time): gettimeofday always returns 0, so don't
- check its result.
- * src/shred.c: Include gethrxtime.h.
- (isaac_seed): Use gethrxtime rather than a mishmash.
- * src/touch.c (time): Remove obsolete decl.

- supports integers wider than 32 bits. Fix comment typo.
- * tests/od/x8: Likewise.
-
- * src/chown-core.c (enum RCH_status): Remove trailing comma,
- as it's not valid in standard C89.
-
-2005-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add case/definition for S_MAGIC_XFS
- so that file systems of type `xfs' are recognized as such.
- * src/fs.h: Regenerate.
- Reported by Bernd Eckenfels.
- * src/stat.c (human_fstype): Likewise for S_MAGIC_JFS/jfs.
- * src/fs.h: Regenerate.
- Reported by Andreas Schwab.
-
- * src/nice.c (NZERO) [NZERO == 0]: Undefine and define to 20,

- Test failure reported by Sébastien Maret.
-
-2005-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/sort.c (mergefps): Use binary search rather than linear one
- when comparing new line to lines already in main memory.
- Idea suggested by James Lemley.
-
-2005-02-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/copy.c (valid_options): Add an assertion that
- not both hard_link and symbolic_link are set.

-
-2005-02-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/8gb: Also adjust the test (s/64/128/) to detect
- systems that don't support sparse files.
- Check for $2 -ge 128, rather than $2 = 128, in case
- there is a file system type that doesn't support sparse files,
- yet for which metadata takes up additional space.
- Both reported by Andreas Schwab.
-
-2005-02-01 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny change)
-
- * tests/du/8gb: Create a larger test file, so we properly
- detect that sparse files can be created on NTFS under cygwin.
-
-2005-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_pipe): Correct wording in diagnostic.
-
- * src/stty.c: Remove unnecessary parentheses in all #if directives.
-
-2005-01-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny change)

- instead of VSWTCH, for use with CSWTCH.
-
-2005-01-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> (tiny change)
-
- * tests/Makefile.am (.PHONY): Add check-root and root-hint.

- duplicates.
- * man/Makefile.am (all_programs): Revert previous patch; updated
- all_programs.list fixes this.
- (.x.1): No need to add $(EXEEXT).
-
-2005-01-03 Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de> (tiny change)
-
- * src/system.h: Use S_BLKSIZE value for ST_NBLOCKSIZE where
- available.
-
-2005-01-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (v_etc_file): The version string has moved to
- version-etc-fsf.c, search that new file, not version-etc.c.
-
-2005-01-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * tests/group-names: Use numeric group ids, not symbolic group names,
- since the latter can have shell metacharacters in them (e.g., spaces).
- Problem reported by Eric Blake.
- * tests/chgrp/basic: Assume groups are numeric, not symbolic.
- * tests/chgrp/deref: Likewise.
- * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Likewise.
- * tests/chgrp/recurse: Likewise.
-
-2005-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/shred.c (isaac_seed) [HAVE_GETHRTIME]: #if-0 this block,
- because just calling gethrtime evokes an `illegal instruction'
- failure when compiled with Sun's c89 on Solaris 8 and 9.
- Reported by Nelson Beebe.
-
- * src/shred.c (isaac_seed) [HAVE_GETHRTIME]: Don't call ISAAC_SEED
- twice with the same value of `t'.
- Replace nested #if-#else blocks with #if-#elif-#elif chain.
-
-2005-01-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- The test, tests/tail/f-1, failed on powerpc-apple-darwin7.7.0.
- * src/tail.c (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Adjust definition also to include
- sockets, since that's what you get when reading from a command-line-
- supplied pipe on Darwin 7.7.
- (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Define.
- (main): Use new IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE rather than simply S_ISFIFO.
- Reported by Nelson Beebe.
- This same change is also required on NetBSD/sparc-1.5.
- Reported by Adrian Bunk.
-
- * src/expr.c (toarith): Rewrite to detect/diagnose integer overflow,
- rather than suffering silently.
- Before, expr would silently overflow and wrap around:
- $ expr 9223372036854775808 = 0 # $(echo 2^63|bc)
- 1
- Now it detects the problem and exits nonzero:
- $ ./expr $(echo 2^63|bc) = 0
- ./expr: 9223372036854775808: integer is too large
-
- * tests/chown/separator (id_gn): Exit 77, not 1, for a test-framework
- failure, so that doesn't cause `make check' to stop. Nelson Beebe
- reported that this test would fail with the diagnostic,
- `cannot find name for group ID 10', on one of his systems.
-
-2005-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/test.c (is_int): Don't overflow when evaluating integer
- constants. Before, ./test $(echo 2^64|bc) -eq 0 && echo FAIL
- would print `FAIL'.
-
- * tests/Fetish.pm (run_tests): Add code (if-0'd out) to detect
- names of temporary files that would clash on 8.3 file systems.
- * tests/mk-script (validate): Likewise.
-
-2005-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/dd/skip-seek: Shorten test names to accommodate 8.3 systems.
-
- * tests/tr/Test.pm (repeat-xC): Change test name from
- `repeat-Compl', to avoid 8.3 conflict with `repeat-compl'.
- Reported by Eric Blake.
- (repeat-000): Rename to `repeat-zeros' for the same reason.
-
-2005-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * configure.ac: Update version to 5.3.1.
-
-2005-01-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

-
-2005-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/unexpand.c (add_tab_stop): Properly diagnose a tabstop list
- with decreasing values.
-
- * src/expand.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/unexpand.c (main): Check for overflow in tabstop values
- specified via the obsolete form. E.g., now this command fails:
- _POSIX2_VERSION=1 ./unexpand -$(echo '2^64+1'|bc)
- Before it would act like `_POSIX2_VERSION=1 ./unexpand -1'.
- * tests/unexpand/basic-1 (obs-ovflo): New test for this.
-
-2005-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Respond to POSIX interpretations about pathchk -p dated 2005-01-06.
- * NEWS: Document the changes.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (pathchk invocation): Likewise.
- * src/pathchk.c (PORTABILITY_OPTION): New constant.
- (longopts, usage, main, validate_file_name):
- Add support for new -P option.
- Reject empty file names (unless -p is not specified and the
- current system allows empty file names).
- Change --portability so that is now equivalent to -p -P.
- Don't test whether file name is too long, if it is known to exist.
- (no_leading_hyphen): New function.
- * tests/misc/pathchk1: Add tests for empty file names and
- pathchk -P.
-
-2005-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Version 5.3.0.
-
- `pr --columns=N' was not equivalent to `pr -N' when also using
- either -s or -w.
-
- * src/pr.c (main): Set `explicit_columns' for --columns=N,
- not just for -N. This bug has existed since the introduction
- of the --columns=N option on 1998-08-15.
- * NEWS: Document this.
- * tests/pr/Test.pm (test_vector): For each -N test, automatically
- create a new test vector using --columns=N.
-
-2005-01-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * src/pr.c (main): Check for column count overflow with
- usages like "pr -2147483648".
-
-2005-01-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/pr.c (init_fps): Use xnmalloc, rather than xmalloc.
-
-2005-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * README: List the precise HP-UX version numbers that are affected.
- Suggestion from Bob Proulx.
-
- * Makefile.maint (sc_changelog): Specify find's `-maxdepth 2'
- predicate before `-name ChangeLog' to avoid a harmless warning
- from find-4.2.10.
-
-2005-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/help-version: Punt on the uptime test, since it fails when
- it can't get boot time, and I don't want that to stop `make check'.
-
- * src/du.c (process_file): Evaluate exclusion rules against
- the entire file name, not just the last component.
- Reported by Robert Lindgren.
- * tests/du/exclude: Test for this.
- * NEWS: Document this.
-
- Ensure that tests/Makefile.am's check-root actions stay up to date.
- * Makefile.maint (sc_root_tests): New rule.
- (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
-
-2005-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * man/shred.x: Change one-line summary to reflect that shred does
- not remove files by default. Suggestion from Helen Faulkner in
- http://bugs.debian.org/288552
-
- * README: Request VERBOSE=yes output when reporting test failures.
- Other minor changes.
-
- * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Update.
-
-2005-01-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/system.h: Undo previous change; we now use Autoconf.
-
-2005-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/stty/row-col-1: Don't set rows or columns to zero, to avoid
- a bug in the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl on at least Solaris5.9 systems. Setting
- either (or both) to zero would succeed, but subsequent `stty size'
- would say `no size information for this device' due to the ioctl
- failing with EINVAL.
-
- * src/system.h: If PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, and PRIxMAX are
- not all defined and either ULONG_MAX or ULLONG_MAX is not defined,
- then fail at compile-time rather than let tools like od produce
- invalid results at run time.
-
-2004-12-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/csplit.c (usage): Say the default names are `xx00, xx01, ...',
- not `xx01, xx02, ...'.
- Reported by Matt Kraai in http://bugs.debian.org/286605
-
- * tests/misc/split-fail: Avoid spurious failure on x86 Solaris5.9
- when using c89.
-
-2004-12-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/split.c (usage): Mention default size. Suggested by Dan Jacobson.
-
-2004-12-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: Mention that one should eval "`dircolors`" rather than
- `dircolors`.
-
-2004-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/mv/hard-link-1: Rearrange to use newer trap-handling code,
- so temporary directories aren't left behind upon e.g., interrupt.
-
-2004-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/ls.c (print_dir): Use "%s: not listing already-listed
- directory", not "not listing already-listed directory: %s", to
- format already-listed directories, to be consistent with other
- diagnostics involving file names and colons.
-
-2004-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/Makefile.am (__LDADD): Define, so that building `[' on
- Solaris still uses the -lgen library that it requires in order
- to get a definition of eaccess.
-
-2004-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- tac would exit immediately upon I/O or temp-file creation failure.
- Now it continues on, processing any remaining command line arguments.
-
- * src/tac.c: Include quotearg.h.
- Use quotearg_colon in most diagnostics.
- (copy_to_temp): Rewrite not to exit upon I/O or temp-file-creation
- failure. Before, this command (with /full/tmp being a full partition)
- TMPDIR=/full/tmp ./tac /proc/modules tac.c
- would exit immediately upon the write error while trying to copy
- non-seekable /proc/modules to the full partition. Now it still
- reports the failure but continues on with the remaining file.
- (tac_nonseekable): Return false also if copy_to_temp fails.
- [DONT_UNLINK_WHILE_OPEN]: Add a FIXME comment explaining that
- using atexit like this is wrong.
- * NEWS: Document this.
- * tests/misc/tac-continue: New test for this.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tac-continue.
-
- * tests/chown/basic: Add a few more tests.
-
-2004-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Change arg name to be command_line_arg
- rather than explicit_arg, for consistency with copy.c.
- (extract_dirs_from_files): Remove ignore_dot_and_dot_dot arg, since
- it is deducible from dirname arg. All callers changed.
- (extract_dirs_from_files, print_dir, queue_directory):
- Add command_line_arg arg. All callers changed.
- (struct pending): Add command_line_arg member.
- (main): Use NULL rather than 0 when appropriate.
- (set_exit_status, file_failure): New functions.
- (queue_directory): Store command_line_arg into new structure.
- (print_dir, gobble_file, get_link_name):
- Use file_failure to report problems in accessing files,
- so that the exit status is set consistently.
- (print_dir): Simplify readdir failure code yet again.
- If closedir fails, report "closing directory" rather than "reading
- directory" failure.
- (xstrcoll): Use set_exit_status to set status on failure.
- * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): This now exits with status 2,
- not status 1.
-
-2004-12-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Avoid a race condition vulnerability in chown, when used with
- --from=O:G and without the (-h) --no-dereference option.

- (change_file_owner): Call it.
- Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
- * NEWS: Mention this.
-
-2004-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * ls now exits with status 1 on minor problems, 2 if serious trouble.
- * NEWS: Document this.
- * src/ls.c (LS_MINOR_PROBLEM, LS_FAILURE): New constants.
- All uses of EXIT_FAILURE replaced with LS_FAILURE, unless
- specified below.
- (main): Initialize exit failure to LS_FAILURE.
- (print_dir, gobble_file, get_link_name, xstrcoll):
- Set exit status to LS_MINOR_PROBLEM if the failure is minor.
- (print_dir): Do not give up on entire directory merely because readdir
- returns EOVERFLOW.
- (usage): Explain exit status.
- * tests/help-version: ls and variants now exit with status 2
- on serious trouble.
-
-2004-12-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: Document new UTC+HH:MM date syntax, and put date changes
- together.
-
-2004-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/factor.c (factor): Don't list 1 as a factor of 1.
- Problem reported by Thomas Folz-Donahue.
-
-2004-12-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/files0-from: Sanitize environment.
- Otherwise, e.g., BLOCKSIZE=k would cause a failure, and that
- setting is the default (exported from /etc/profile) on at least one
- NetBSD 1.6 system.
- * tests/du/no-deref: Likewise.
- * tests/cp/symlink-slash: Likewise.
- * tests/ls/symlink-slash: Likewise
-
-2004-12-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/tail/Test.pm (err-6) ["tail -c"]: Avoid test failure when
- _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 is in the environment, or when building on
- e.g., OpenBSD 3.2.
-
-2004-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * NEWS: Mention cut's new --complement option.
-
-2004-10-01 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
-
- * cut.c (complement, COMPLEMENT_OPTION): New.
- (longopts): Add --complement.
- (usage): Say not that -b, -c, and -f `print' fields,
- but rather that they `select' fields for printing.
- Describe the new --complement option.
- (mark_range_start): Extracted from set_fields.
- (print_kth): Support --complement.
- (compare_ranges): New function.
- (set_fields): Rewrite the part that populates range_start_ht,
- merging it with the part that populates printable_field.
- (main): Handle --complement.
-
-2004-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/tail.c (tail_file): Set errnum to -1 if the initial "tail"
- failed. This works around an assertion failure reported by
- Roberto Nibali in:
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-12/msg00012.html
-
-2004-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- With using --color and with LS_COLORS saying not to color
- executables, don't stat every file.
- * src/ls.c (is_colored): New function.
- (gobble_file): Use it.
- (main): Use it here, in place of too-strict tests against NULL:
- if either ORPHAN or MISSING was set to 0 from LS_COLORS, the
- old test would fail.
-
-2004-12-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/comm.c (compare_files): Assume setlocale exists.
- * src/join.c (keycmp): Likewise.
- * src/seq.c (decimal_point): Treat like sort. Now char.

- * src/sort.c (C_DECIMAL_POINT): Remove. Use changed to '.'.
- Assume setlocale exists.
- (thousands_sep): Renamed from th_sep.
- (IS_THOUSANDS_SEP): Remove. All uses replaced by comparisons.
- (NONZERO): Parenthesize use of arg.
- (numcompare): Avoid duplicate loads. Use ISDIGIT as boolean, for
- consistency. Avoid unnecessary negation by reversing
- fraccompare args.
- (main): Rewrite localeconv call to match seq.c.
- * src/system.h: Assume locale.h exists.
- (HAVE_SETLOCALE): Remove.
- * src/uniq.c (different): Assume setlocale exists.
-
- * src/ls.c (sort_files): Minor cleanup. Remove an unnecessary
- 'volatile' on a local variable. Rewrite to avoid unnecessary
- double-assignment to 'func' in the usual case where strcoll does
- not fail.
-
-2004-11-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/pinky.c (gethostname): Remove decl.
- (scan_entries): Use IS_USER_PROCESS instead of by-hand code.
- * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Use IS_USER_PROCESS and

-2004-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Fix problem reported by Scott S. Tinsley for HP-UX 11.11 using

- ones.
- * src/copy.h (stat, lstat, rename): Remove decls.
- * src/install.c (stat): Remove decl.
- * src/ln.c (link, symlink): Remove decls.

-
- * man/help2man: Import help2man-1.35.1.
- * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Remove now-unnecessary use of
- locally-added --program-name=NAME option. Now, help2man gets
- the name from the [NAME] section (i.e. from our .x file).
- * man/install.x: Use `install', not `ginstall' in the one-line
- description. Reported by Brendan O'Dea.
- * man/sha1sum.x: Use `sha1sum', not `shasum'.

-
- Since the changes of 2004-05-22, the u.saved_cwd member at
- the bottom of the active-directory stack was no longer
- strictly necessary. This change removes that member and uses
- the newer cwd_state parameter for the final restore_cwd.
-
- * src/remove.c (struct AD_ent) [u]: Remove now-unnecessary union.
- [dev_ino]: Rename from `a'.
- (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a parameter to play the role of just-removed
- bottom-of-stack cwd-state member.
- (AD_pop_and_chdir): No longer return boolean. Adjust caller.
- (AD_push_initial): Remove CWD parameter. Adjust caller.
-
-2004-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Minor performance improvements and cleanups for "touch".
- * src/touch.c (posix_date): Remove; not needed as a static var.
- All uses rewritten.
- (touch): Use new futimens function to operate more efficiently
- in some cases. Don't stat/fstat existing file when
- (!amtime_now && change_times == (CH_ATIME | CH_MTIME)); the
- old time stamps aren't needed in that case.
- (main): change_times is int, not bool. Simplify test for
- change_times.

-
-2004-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/stat.c (STATFS): New macro, for portability to Solaris 9.

- (usage): Update status output to match new behavior.
- (print_stats): Always output complete byte count.
- Put space between numbers and units, as SI requires.
- Use ngettext so that i18n can use plurals for "byte" and "second".
- Don't multiply by 1e-9 (inexact); divide by 1e9 (which is exact).
- (iflag_error_msgid, oflag_error_msgid): Remove; replace uses by
- the string.

-
- * src/test.c (usage): Put the description of `[-n] STRING'
- on two lines, one for `-n STRING' and one for `STRING' so that

- rendered inappropriately in UTF-8 locales.
- Reported by Uwe Zeisberger in http://bugs.debian.org/281069.
-
-2004-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: Document the following changes.
-
- * src/sort.c: Avoid O(N**2) behavior when there are many temporary
- files.
- (temptail): New variable, so that we can easily append to list.
- (create_temp_file): Create new files at end of list, so that
- searching the list has O(N*NMERGE) behavior instead of O(N**2).
- (zaptemp): Update temptail if needed.
- (mergefps, merge): Accept new arg that counts temp files, and keep it
- up to date as we create and remove temporaries. This is for
- efficiency, so that we don't call zaptemp so often.
- All callers changed.
- (sort): Don't create array in reverse order, since the list of
- temporaries is now in the correct order.
-
- (zaptemp): Protect against race condition: if 'sort' is
- interrupted in the middle of zaptemp, it might unlink the
- temporary file twice, and the second time this happens the file
- might already have been created by some other process.
-
- (zaptemp): Warn if a temporary file is not removed.
-
- (create_temp_file): Use offsetof for clarity.
- (die): Move it up earlier, to clean up the code a bit.
-
- * src/pr.c (strtoumax): Declare if not declared.
- (skip_to_page, first_page_number, last_page_number, page_number,
- first_last_page, print_header):
- Use uintmax_t for page numbers.
- (first_last_page): Remove unnecessary forward declaration.
- Do not modify arg (it is now a const pointer).
- Return a true if successful, false (without print a diagnostic)
- otherwise.
- (main): If +XXX does not specify a valid page range, treat it
- as a file name. This follows the response to Open Group XCU ERN 41
- <http://www.opengroup.org/sophocles/show_mail.tpl?source=L&listname=austin-group-l&id=7717>,
- which says the behavior is allowed.
- (skip_to_page): When starting page number exceeds page count,
- print both numbers in the diagnostic.
- (print_header): Detect page number overflow.
-
-2004-11-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/uname.c [__APPLE__]: Include <mach/machine.h> and <mach-o/arch.h>.
- (main) [__APPLE__]: Get the processor type via syscall rather than
- hard-coding "powerpc". From Toby Peterson.
-
- * src/sort.c (merge): Remove declarations of now-unused variables.
-
-2004-11-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/sort.c (first_same_file): Remove. Move most of the code to....
- (avoid_trashing_input): New function.
- (merge): Avoid some silly merges, e.g., copying a single file to
- a temporary file when there are exactly 17 input files to merge.
- Take a count of temporary files rather than a max_merge arg.
- All uses changed.
-
-2004-11-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/sort.c (xfclose): Don't close stdout here (just flush it),
- since close_stdout now closes stdout unconditionally.
-
-2004-11-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/sort.c (inittables, sort_buffer_size, getmonth, mergefps,
- first_same_file, merge, sort, main): Use size_t for indexes to arrays.
- This fixes some unlikely havoc-wreaking bugs (e.g., more than INT_MAX
- temporary files).
- (getmonth, keycompare, compare): Rewrite to avoid need for alloca,
- thus avoiding unchecked stack overflow in some cases. As a side
- effect this improve the performance of "sort -M" by a factor of 4
- on my benchmarks.
-
-2004-11-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/stty.c: Include "vasprintf.h" since we use vasprintf now.
-
- * src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): Don't assume \? works in a sed
- expression; it's not portable. Problem reported by Albert Chin.
- Don't invoke a program more than once.
- * src/groups.sh (version): New variable, containing author info,
- for benefit of AUTHORS check. Use it when acting on --version option.
- * AUTHORS: Remove duplicate lines. Remove bogus "chroot:"
- in groups line.
-
- * src/system.h: Don't #define and #undef getopt around <stdlib.h>,
- as this breaks the new regime that does "#define getopt rpl_getopt".
- Problem reported by Albert Chin for Solaris 9 with Sun cc in:
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2004-11/msg00019.html
- I suppose this may cause problems on ancient hosts with
- incompatible getopt declarations, but we'll cross that bridge if
- the problem gets reported to us by someone who can test the fix.
-
-2004-11-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/tac.c: quote(...) file names in diagnostics.
-
-2004-10-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: Document getdate changes.
-
-2004-10-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/tac.c (tac_file): Remove temporary prototype and move this
- function `down' so that it precedes definition of tac_nonseekable.
-
- `tac /proc/modules' would print nothing
- Reported by Harald Dunkel in http://bugs.debian.org/278604.
-
- * src/tac.c (copy_to_temp): Renamed from save_stdin, since
- now it copies a general file descriptor, not just stdin.
- (tac_nonseekable): Renamed/adapted from tac_stdin.
- (tac_file): Get fd via `open' directly rather than via fopen/fileno,
- since we never used the stream. Perform "-" to stdin mapping here
- rather than in main. Determine whether a file is seekable,
- by trying to `lseek' to its end, and dispatch to tac_seekable or
- tac_nonseekable accordingly.
- (main): Rewrite argument handling now that it uses only tac_file.
- * NEWS: Mention it here.
-
-2004-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/mv/leak-fd: New file.
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
- * tests/rm/dot-rel: New file.
- * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
-
- Correct my patch of 2004-10-18.
- * src/remove.c (rm): Destroy the saved_cwd here (via cwd_state),
- if necessary, not in remove_dir. Otherwise, removing multiple
- `.'-relative nonempty directories no longer worked.
-
-2004-10-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/fmt.c (usage): Improve description of --prefix.
- Problem reported by Edward Welbourne.
-
- * man/uniq.x: Change summary so that it doesn't imply that
- uniq writes to its input file. Problem reported by
- Dan Jacobson.
-
-2004-10-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Plug a leak that would cause a cross-device mv to fail when
- operating on too many command-line-specified nonempty directories.
- * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Destroy the `struct saved_cwd' on the
- top of the stack before returning. This usually closes the file
- descriptor that was used to return to the original working directory.
- Reported by Cyril Bouthors in
- http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/3048
- * NEWS: Mention it here.
-
- * src/pathchk.c (validate_file_name): Give a more descriptive
- diagnostic when pathconf fails. This also avoids an unwarranted
- warning from gcc-3.3.5 about a format not being a string literal.
-
- * src/sleep.c (main): Remove declaration of unused local, c.
- * src/printenv.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/logname.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/uptime.c (main): Likewise, for optc.
- * src/tsort.c (main): Likewise, for opt.
-
-2004-10-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * AUTHORS: Add self to pathchk.
- * src/pathchk.c (AUTHORS): Add self.
- Change "path" to "file name" whenever possible.
- Remove usage comment, as it was a duplication of the code or doc.
- Include <wchar.h> if available.
- (mbrlen, mbstate_t) [! (HAVE_MBRLEN && HAVE_MBSTATE_T)]: Define.
- (NEED_PATHCONF_WRAPPER, PATH_MAX, PATH_MAX_FOR, NAME_MAX,
- pathconf_wrapper, portable_chars, dir_ok): Remove.
- (NAME_MAX_MINIMUM, PATH_MAX_MINIMUM): New macros.
- (pathconf, _PC_NAME_MAX, _PC_PATH_MAX): Define if nonexistent.
- (portable_chars_only): New arg FILELEN.
- Don't assume ASCII; we might be on an EBCDIC host.
- Don't assume unibyte locale in diagnostic.
- (component_start, component_len): New functions.
- (validate_file_name): Renamed from validate_path. All uses changed.
- Pretty much a complete rewrite.
- Don't make copy of file arg. Always append trailing slash to
- pathconf arg, just in case it's a symlink (this is pure paranoia;
- we don't know of any hosts where the trailing slash is required).
- Use size_t instead of long int when possible.
- Avoid need to call pathconf in most practical cases.
- Don't use euidaccess several times to test searchability;
- just use lstat once. Reword diagnostic to put the (often very long)
- file names last.
-
-2004-10-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

-
-2004-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Add an exclusion for config/texinfo.tex,
- since Karl says its trailing blanks are there to stay :-)
-
-2004-10-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/expr.c (NEW, OLD): Remove, partly to avoid

-
-2004-09-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-

- it if it's '\0'.
-
-2004-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Add support for ls --hide. Idea suggested by Bardur Arantsson.
- * NEWS: Document this.
- * src/ls.c (file_ignored): Renamed from file_interesting, with
- inverted return value. Accept the file name, not a struct dirent *.
- All uses changed. Avoid the expense of calling fnmatch if the
- file is ignorable due to leading '.'.
- (all_files, really_all_files): Removed; replaced by:
- (ignore): New variable. All uses changed.
- (IGNORE_DEFAULT, IGNORE_DOT_AND_DOTDOT, IGNORE_MINIMAL, HIDE_OPTION):
- New constants.
- (hide_patterns): New variable.
- (long_options, decode_switches, file_ignored, usage):
- Add support for --hide.
- (patterns_match): New function.
- (usage): Replace "hide" with "ignore" in explanation, to avoid
- confusion.
-
-2004-09-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file, print_long_format): Don't assume that
- human-readable output has a byte count equal to its column width;
- this isn't always true in locales where the radix character is not
- '.' or ','.
- (format_user_or_group): Revamp code to match the above fix;
- this avoids the (very faint) possibility of integer overflow.
-
-2004-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: Mention that "chmod -r -w x" now works as expected.
- * src/chmod.c (main): Revamp option processing to support this.
- * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add 'usage'.
- * tests/chmod/usage: New set of tests for usage like that.
-
-2004-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use --types=AFGM option so that
- it lists only cvs-controlled regular files.

-
- * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): New macro.
- (sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system,
- sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4, sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names,
- sc_trailing_blank, po-check): Use it instead of the
- nonstandard "cvsu --list".
-
- * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Bring back support
- for obsolete option followed by non-obsolete, or by more
- than one file. When obsolete, conform to SUSv2 rather than
- original POSIX 1003.2-1992, as SUSv2 corrected the case of
- "tail -c". Add support for the SUSv2 "b" modifier.
- * NEWS: Mention the above.
- * tests/tail/Test.pm: New test case obs-b to check the above.
- err-[134] no longer need _POSIX2_VERSION=199209.

- * src/od.c (FMT_BYTES_ALLOCATED): Now an enum, not a decimal
- constant. Do not assume PRIdMAX etc. are strings of length 3 or
- less.
- (struct tspec): Use it. fmt_string is now an array, not
- a pointer, as there's little point to the indirection here.

- (struct tspec): Use void *, not char *, for generic pointers.
- (bytes_to_oct_digits, bytes_to_signed_dec_digits,
- bytes_to_unsigned_dec_digits, bytes_to_hex_digits):

- (print_s_char, print_char, print_s_short, print_short,
- print_int, print_long, print_long_long, print_float,
- print_double, print_long_double): Rewrite to avoid casts.
- These now take void * arguments, instead of char *.
- Use the same body for all functions, except for the choice
- of type. Assume C89 to simplify handling of signed char.
- (dump_hexl_mode_trailer, print_named_ascii, print_ascii):
- Rewrite to avoid casts.
- (print_named_ascii, print_ascii): Now takes void *, not char *.
- (decode_one_format): Use int for printf field widths, not
- unsigned int. Pass void * to subsidiary printers,
- not char *. Simplify handling of floating-point formats
- by factoring out common code dealing with precision and field width.
- (decode_format_string): Avoid need for temporary copy of
- each decoded struct tspec.
- (get_lcm): Remove unnecessary cast.
- (main): Fix bug where more than INT_MAX failed decodes were ignored.

- parse_obsolescent_option, parse_options, main): Likewise.

- Hence we no longer need to call isdir.
- Free dest_dir immediately when it's no longer needed, rather than
- waiting until the end of the function.
- (copy_file): Don't bother calling isdir, as copy will do the

- print_grand_total, opt_separate_dirs, hash_ins, process_file, main):

- of INT_MAX on depth.
- (G_fail): Remove: no longer needed, now that the relevant
- functions return bool.
- (process_file): Use return value to signal success rather than
- setting a global. Remove first_call static var; not needed, since
- we can look at n_alloc. Use size_t for depths. Remove FIXME
- about size_t casts, as it's now fixed. Use xnrealloc rather
- than the obsolescent XREALLOC. Don't bother to check whether
- reallocation is needed unless level > prev_level.

- (word32): Remove. All uses changed to uint32_t.
- (isaac_seed_data): Remove unnecessary cast.
- * src/system.h (ptr_align): Use size_t; in practice, this is just as
- good as uintptr_t in checking for alignments, and has fewer
- configuration hassles.
-
- * src/Makefile.am (localedir.h): Make it readonly; this
- undoes part of the 2004-07-27 patch.

- * src/system.h (errno, CHAR_BIT): Remove decls;
- no longer needed now we assume C89 or better.
- Include <inttypes.h> before <stdint.h>, as it's the

- * src/cat.c (exit_status): Remove. Now done by passing a boolean
- 'ok' flag around.
- (simple_cat, cat): Return true if successful. All callers changed.
- (simple_cat, cat, main): Use bool for booleans.
- (simple_cat): Use size_t for sizes.
- (cat, main): Use the same names for parameters that we use for
- long options, to avoid confusion. This inverts the sense of the
- show_tabs (formerly output_tabs) and number_nonblank
- (formerly numbers_at_empty_lines) variables.
- (main): Don't mess up (due to integer overflow) if we are given
- INT_MAX - INT_MIN + 1 options.
- [O_BINARY]: Don't invoke isatty unless the other options require it.
- (main): When deciding whether to use simple_cat, don't worry
- about binary option; it's irrelevant.
-
- * src/dcgen: Remove comments, trailing white space, and empty
- lines from the output strings, to save space.
- Use a narrower type like 'unsigned char' for line lengths, if
- that will do.
- Make the output variables static, not extern.

- (gid_to_name, uid_to_name): Use imaxtostr/umaxtostr
- instead of uint_to_string).
- (describe_change): Instead of an int flag, use a char *
- auxiliary; this avoids the need for casts.
- Assume free (NULL) works.
- (change_file_owner): Return true/false, not 0/-1, since
- we don't set errno. All callers changed.
- Use bool when appropriate.
- (chown_files): Likewise.
- * src/chown-core.h (chown_files): Likewise.
-
- * tests/chown/basic: Test for proper handling of uids like

-
- * tests/misc/pwd: Don't assume that Perl's getpwd agrees with our
- pwd when there are multiple names for the working directory
- (which can happen with an automounter, sigh).
-
- * src/Makefile.am ($(SCRIPTS)): Don't depend on Makefile;
- this causes Solaris 8 'make' to refuse to build "groups".
- (localedir.h): Don't depend on Makefile: this causes Solaris
- 8 'make' to build localedir.h unnecessarily. The dependence
- on Makefile is ineffective anyway, since $(localedir) might
- change even if Makefile hasn't.
-
- * src/remove.c (remove_dir): If we can't save the state of the
- working directory, pretend we started from "/", not ".".
- This avoids a bug on hosts like Solaris that don't let you
- remove the working directory.
-
-2004-07-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/printf.c (strtiomax, strtoumax): Declare if not already
- declared: this fixes a portability bug with Solaris 8 + GCC.
- (STRTOX): Parenthesize use of macro arg as expression.
- (vstrtoimax, vstrtoumax, vstrtold): Remove now-unnecessary
- parentheses.
- * configure.ac: Check for declaration of strtoumax, for
- src/printf.c.
-
- * src/Makefile.am (cp_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD, mv_LDADD,
- pathchk_LDADD, rm_LDADD, test_LDADD): New vars, for eaccess.
-
- * tests/readlink/can-e: Don't assume that we can remove the
- working directory: this isn't possible under Solaris 8, say.
- * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
- * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): find_backup_file_name no longer

-2004-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

- * src/nice.c (GET_NICE_VALUE): Renamed from GET_PRIORITY.
- All uses changed.
- (NZERO): New macro, if system doesn't define it already.
- (usage): Distinguish priorities from nice values.
- Don't assume NZERO is 20.
- (main): Use bool instead of int where appropriate.
- If user specifies an adjustment out of range, always truncate it
- to an inrange value instead of sometimes giving an error message
- and sometimes not.
- Do not assume that -1 is an error return from "nice" or
- "getpriority", as it might be the current nice value minus NZERO.
- If nice/setpriority fails with errno == EPERM, go ahead and run
- the command anyway; POSIX requires this.
-
- * src/pathchk.c: Include euidaccess.h.
- (dir_ok): Use euidaccess, not access.
- * src/test.c (R_OK, W_OK, X_OK, FOK): Remove; system.h defines them.

-
- * src/uptime.c (print_uptime) [defined BOOT_MSG]:
- Don't assume ut_line is null-terminated.
- * src/who.c (print_line): New arguments USERLEN and LINELEN,
- since USER and LINE might not be null terminated. All callers
- changed.
-
-2004-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Fix bug with "tail -f" reported by Rob Holland in
- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-07/msg00054.html>.
- Also, remove the undocumented and unsupported-since-2000
- --max-consecutive-size-changes options. Fix another related bug:
- "tail" got confused if stdin, stdout, or stderr were closed.
- Also, use output buffering even with "tail -f".
-
- * NEWS: Document this, plus yesterday's patch.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): "size has remained the same"
- -> "file has not changed", which is more accurate for fifos.
- * src/tail.c: Include fcntl-safer.h.
- (COPY_TO_EOF): Set to UINTMAX_MAX, not OFF_T_MAX (which was wrong).
- (COPY_A_BUFFER): New macro.
- (struct File_spec): New members mtime, mode, blocking.
- Remove member n_consecutive_size_changes.
- (DEFAULT_MAX_N_CONSECUTIVE_SIZE_CHANGES,

- (long_options, tail_forever, parse_options):
- Remove (non-)support for --max-consecutive-size-changes.
- (record_open_fd): New function.
- (recheck, tail_file): Use it. Don't assume that stdin is open.
- (dump_remainder): Add support for new COPY_A_BUFFER special value.
- Treat errno==EAGAIN like EOF, since it might be a nonblocking read.
- (recheck): New arg BLOCKING, specifying whether to use blocking reads.
- All uses changed.
- (n_live_files): Remove, replacing with...
- (any_live_files): New function. All uses changed.
- (tail_forever): Use nonblocking I/O unless we know that blocking I/O
- is safe; this avoids some hangs when reading from a fifo.
- Avoid invoking fstat or sleep when using blocking I/O.
- Do not check for changes to size if the file is not a regular file,
- as the size is undefined in that case.
- Check for changes to mtime or mode, too; this works for non-regular
- files.
- (tail_forever, main): Redo fflush strategy to work even when input
- is nonblocking. Don't use unbuffered output; just flush when needed.
-
-2004-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/tail.c (main): Ignore -f if no file operand is specified
- and standard input is a pipe.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Do not ignore -f for
- all pipes, just for when standard input is a pipe and no
- file operand is specified.
- * tests/tail/Test.pm: Reinstate f-1 test, since we now pass.
- Add a new commented-out f-2 test, which we still fail.
- (test_vector): All f-* tests are special cases, not just f-1.
-
-2004-07-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/uptime.c: Include c-strtod.h.
- (print_uptime): Use c_strtod instead of setlocale and sscanf.
- Use long int rather than int to count days (for 64-bit hosts),

-2004-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/printf.c (vstrtold): Renamed from vstrtod.
- Now returns long double. All uses changed.
- (print_direc): Use "L" length modifier when printing floating point
- numbers, since we're now printing long double.
-
-2004-07-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- printf cleanup, to avoid undefined behavior, to add support for
- formats that Bash supports, and to support wide integers like
- Bash does.
-
- * NEWS: Document this.
- * src/printf.c (UNSPECIFIED): Remove. All uses now replaced by
- booleans, so that we don't reserve any values for precision or
- width (like Bash).
- (STRTOX): Use prototype, not K&R-style definition.
- (vstrtoimax): Renamed from xstrtol (to avoid confusion with xstrtol
- in ../lib), with type change to intmax_t.
- All uses changed.
- (vstrtoumax): Renamed from xstrtoul, with type change to uintmax_t.
- All uses changed.
- (vstrtod): Renamed from xstrtod. All uses changed.
- (print_direc): Use boolean arg instead of special value to indicate
- a missing precision or width. LENGTH no longer includes
- length modifiers or conversion character. New arg CONVERSION
- now specifies conversion character.
- Use intmax_t-width formatting for integers (like Bash).
- Add support for C99 %a, %A, %F (like Bash).
- Add support for field width with %c (POSIX requires this).
- Add a FIXME for lack of support for field width and precision
- for %b.
- Add support for '\'', '0' flags.
- Check for invalid combinations of flags, field width, precision,
- and conversion, to prevent use of undefined behavior.
- Allow multiple length modifiers, for formats like "%lld" (like Bash).
- Add support for C99 'j', 't', 'z' length modifiers (like Bash).
- In error message, output entire invalid conversion specification,
- instead of merely outputting % followed by the conversion char.
- * tests/misc/printf: Add tests for the above.

- * src/cp.c (do_copy): Likewise.
- * src/mv.c (movefile): Likewise.
-
- * src/cp.c (make_path_private): 2nd arg is now size_t, not int,
- to avoid problem when path_concat dir name is longer than 2 GiB (!).
-
- * src/nohup.c (main): Don't pass NULL first argument to path_concat.
- This cleans up the semantics a bit, as we no longer try to open the
- same file twice.

- link invocation.
-
- * src/cp.c (NO_TARGET_DIRECTORY_OPTION): New constant.

-
-2004-06-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Don't let verbose-mode output from a subshell obscure actual differences.

- invoking subshell, then turn it back on if VERBOSE=yes afterward.
-
-2004-06-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Add support for 'install --target-directory', an option
- that has been documented for years but not implemented (!).

- --target-directory in synopsis, too.
- * src/install.c (TARGET_DIRECTORY_OPTION): New var.
- (long_options, main, usage): Add --target-directory.

- (main): Use it. Check for -d and --target-directory.
- Alter wording of diagnostics to match other programs.
-
-2004-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/cp.c (usage): Fix copy+paste error in description of
- --target-directory: s/move/copy/. From Paul Jarc.
-
-2004-06-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Use more-consistent rules among cp, ln, and mv when dealing with
- last operands that are (or look like) directories.
-
- * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): New, nearly-common function,
- It reports an error if the destination appears to be a directory
- (e.g., because it has a trailing slash) but is not.
- * src/ln.c, src/mv.c: Likewise.
- * src/cp.c (do_copy): Use it.
- * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/mv.c (main): Likewise.
-
- * src/cp.c (do_copy): Don't assume argc is positive.
- Don't bother to lstat dest, since copy() will do that for us.
- Use "const" to avoid the need for cast.
-
- * src/cp.c (do_copy): Don't output a usage message because of file
- problems (e.g., an operand is not a directory). Use it only for
- syntax. Standardize on "target %s is not a directory" for the
- diagnostic.
- * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/mv.c (main): Likewise.
-
- * src/cp.c (do_copy): Remove test for trailing slash, since
- target_directory_operand now does this.
- * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/mv.c (movefile): Likewise.
-
- * src/cp.c (main): Reject multiple target directories.
- Check whether a specified target is a directory when parsing the
- options, using stat. This gives more-accurate diagnostics.
- * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
-
- * src/ln.c (isdir): Remove decl; no longer needed.
- * src/mv.c (isdir, lstat): Likewise.
-
- * src/ln.c (do_link): New arg dest_is_dir. All uses changed.
- Don't check the destination ourself; rely on dest_is_dir.
- This way we can avoid lstatting the destination in the
- usual case, and in the worst case we lstat 1, not 3 times.
- Don't bother to unlink unless link failed; this saves a syscall.
- Remove unnecessary backup_succeeded flag;
- it was identical to "dest_backup != NULL".
-
- * src/ln.c (main): Use int to count to argc, not unsigned int.
- This handles negative operand counts.
- * src/mv.c (main): Likewise.
-
- * src/mv.c (do_move): Don't call hash_init; expect the caller to
- do it, for consistency with cp.c and ln.c. All callers changed.
- (movefile): dest_is_dir parameter is now bool, not int.
- (main): Standardize on "missing destination file operand after %s"
- for the diagnostic, for consistency with cp.c.
-
- * tests/mv/diag: Don't assume "mv --target=nonexistentdir"
- will complain about the arg count.
- Adjust to new (briefer) diagnostics.
- * tests/cp/fail-perm: Add a test to verify that we get the new
- diagnostic when failing to copy through a symlink-to-inaccessible-dir.
-
-2004-06-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Fix a bug: formerly, if d/x was a directory and x a file, "ln x
- d/" incorrectly created a link d/x/x. It also saves some system
- calls.
-
- * NEWS: Document the fix.
-
- * src/ln.c (main): Don't append basename to dest if this
- results in an existing directory name.
- * tests/ln/misc: See whether a trailing slash is followed too far.
-
-2004-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/printf.c (main): When given no arguments, print the standard
- "missing operand\nTry printf --help..." message -- to be consistent.
-
-2004-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/mknod.c (main): Add \n at the end of message output via fprintf.
-
-2004-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/ln/misc: Add test for ln subscript error.
-
-2004-06-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/ln.c (do_link): Remove unnecessary call to lstat.
- (main): Avoid subscript error when the destination is "".
-
-2004-06-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/*: Replace all occurrences of `(exit N); exit' with
- `(exit N); exit N'. Otherwise, those many tests could exit with
- improper exit status when exiting via e.g., a trapped interrupt.
- Thanks to a report from Bob Proulx.
-
-2004-06-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/who.c (idle_string, print_user): New arg boottime,
- specifying the most recent boot time. All uses changed.
- (idle_string) Consider a line to be "old" if it hasn't been used
- since the last boot time. Watch out for overflow when computing
- times, and for times in the future.
- (idle_string): Record latest boot time.
-
-2004-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/test.c (usage): Correct description of `-t FD'. The file
- descriptor, FD, is no longer optional. Reported by Ton Nijkes.
-
-2004-06-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- The 2004-06-19 fix for who and pinky was incomplete, as ctime
- has undefined behavior if the year precedes -999 or follows 9999.
- Since we have to stop using ctime anyway, we might as well use
- strftime and fix the FIXME, and support internationalized dates.
-
- * NEWS: Document the new behavior.
- * src/who.c: Include "hard-locale.h".
- (time_format, time_format_width): New vars.
- (time_string, print_line): Use them.
- (main): Set them.
- (time_string): Use localtime + strftime instead of
- ctime, to avoid problems with years before -999 or after 9999.
- * src/pinky.c: Likewise.
-
-2004-06-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Fix bug: GNU 'ls' didn't count columns correctly if user or group
- names contained multibyte characters where the column count
- differed from the byte count. This patch also corrects
- some comments.
-
- * src/ls.c (format_user_or_group): New function, which counts
- columns correctly.
- (format_user, format_group): Use it.
- (format_user_or_group_width): New function, which counts columns
- correctly.
- (format_user_width, format_group_width): Use it.
-
-2004-06-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-
- * tests/priv-check: When running as root, be sure to propagate
- PATH through to the process we exec as non-root.
- Reported by michael@aplatform.com.

-2004-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/system.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Switch back to

- `GNU' to the parenthesized package name in --version output.
- Before, the first argument from AC_INIT, `GNU coreutils', would
- be propagated to the PACKAGE variable. Now, `GNU ' is trimmed.
- Reported by Richard Stallman.

-
- * NEWS: Remove special cases for POSIXLY_CORRECT when POSIX allows
- the GNU behavior.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation, unlink invocation): Document this.
- * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Pay attention to TABSIZE even if
- POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. POSIX reserves upper-case environment
- variables to the implementation, so it's OK for ls to depend on
- TABSIZE.
- * src/pr.c: Include "hard-locale.h".
- (main): When in a non-POSIX locale, ignore POSIXLY_CORRECT, since
- POSIX specifies the behavior only in the POSIX locale.
- * src/printf.c (print_esc): Support \x, \u, \U even if POSIXLY_CORRECT,
- since POSIX says the behavior is unspecified here.
- * src/tail.c (parse_obsolescent_option): Support multiple file operands
- even if POSIXLY_CORRECT, since POSIX does not require a diagnostic.
- * src/printf.c (main): Recognize --help, --version even if
- POSIXLY_CORRECT. POSIX does not specify any options, but it
- does not prohibit options either, so "printf" is like "expr" here.
- * src/unlink.c (main): Likewise.
- * tests/misc/printf: Adjust to the new semantics for \x if

- * src/who.c (PIDSTR_DECL_AND_INIT): Don't assume pid_t fits in int.
- (UT_ID) [!HAVE_STRUCT_XTMP_UT_ID]: Remove bogus comment,
- as (sizeof "??") reliably returns 3.
- (print_line): Guard against idle and pid being too long
- (which is possible when printing headers).
- (print_user): Allocate enough bytes for idlestr. Use IDLESTR_LEN.
- Avoid unnecessary cast of sizeof to int.
- (make_id_equals_comment): Do not assume that UT_ID returns
- a string; it might return a non-null-terminated array.
- Use strncat instead. It's not very often where strncat is
- exactly what you want, but this is one of those rare cases.
-

-
- * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Change names of parameters
- old_uid and old_gid to required_uid and required_gid respectively.
-
- * src/chmod.c (mode_changed): Return false, not 0, now that the
- function returns `bool'.
-
-2004-06-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Adjust chmod and chown to be similar if -c or -v are given. In
- particular, a no-op chown is no longer reported as a change; this
- reverts to previous behavior. Also, fix both commands so that -v
- report failures even if the failure is not due to the chmod or
- chown syscalls.
-
- * src/chmod.c (CH_NOT_APPLIED): New constant.
- (describe_change): Handle it.
- (process_file): Use it, if a symlink wasn't changed.
- (mode_changed): Return bool, not int. Accept new argument
- NEW_MODE; all callers changed. This lets us avoid statting the
- file unless the new mode has unusual bits.
- (process_file): Return -1 on error. With -v, report all errors
- verbosely, not just some.
-
- * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Return -1 on error, not
- 1 sometimes and -1 on others. Our caller ORs together our results,
- and (-1 | 1) == 0 on ones-complement hosts.
- With -v report all errors verbosely, not just some.
- Fix bug when chopt->root_dev_ino && !chopt->affect_symlink_referent:
- file_stats wasn't set properly in that case.
-
- * tests/chgrp/basic: Adjust to above changes.
-
-2004-05-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * tests/chgrp/basic: Test that chgrp -h does not fail on
- symlinks, even on hosts where that's not supported.
- Test that if -R is specified without -H or L, -h is assumed.
- Test that chown() is not optimized away.
-
-2004-05-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Several fixes to chgrp and chown for compatibility with POSIX and BSD:
-
- Check for incompatible options. When -R and --dereference are
- both used, then either -H or -L must also be used. When -R and -h
- are both used, then -P must be in effect.
-
- -H, -L, and -P have no effect unless -R is also specified.
- If -P and -R are both specified, -h is assumed.
-
- Do not optimize away the chown() system call when the file's owner
- and group already have the desired value. This optimization was
- incorrect, as it failed to updated the last-changed time and reset
- special permission bits, as POSIX requires.
-
- Do not report an error if the owner or group of a
- recursively-encountered symbolic link cannot be updated because
- the file system does not support it.
-
- * NEWS: Document the above.
-
- * src/chgrp.c (main): Check for incompatible options. -R --dereference
- requires either -H or -L, and -R -h requires -P. If -H, specify
- FTS_PHYSICAL as well as FTS_COMFOLLOW; this is faster. Make this
- file as much like chown.c as possible.
- * src/chown.c (main): Likewise.

- * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use ent->fts_statp only if
- needed. Chown a directory only after chowning its children; this
- avoids problems if the new directory ownership doesn't permit
- access to the children. Dereference symlinks before doing
- ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK, not after, so that we catch symlinks to /.
- Do not optimize away the chown() system call when the file's owner
- and group already have the desired value. POSIX does not permit
- this optimization. Rely on chown and lchown to do the right
- thing with symlinks and/or -1 arguments, now that we have wrappers
- to do this. Use ENOTSUPP not ENOSYS, and ignore all ENOTSUPP
- errors, not just command-line errors.
- (chown_files): Pass FTS_NOSTAT to xfts_open if we don't need file status.
-
- * src/system.h (ENOTSUP): Remove.
-
- * tests/chgrp/basic: Use chown --from to discover whether the
- group changed, since chgrp now changes unconditionally. This
- complicates the sed script a bit. Do not specify --dereference,
- since it's the default (and we want to test this). Adjust output
- to match the fact that chgrp no longer optimizes the case of
- changing a file's group to the same value as before.
- * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Do not attempt to combine -h and -H; these
- options are incompatible, and their behavior is undefined with POSIX.
- (changed, not_changed): Adjust to match the fact that -h is no longer
- specified. Sort names.
- * tests/chown/deref: Adjust error-diagnostic spelling to match new
- behavior.

-
-2004-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/shred.c (direct_mode): Turn it on/off with directio, too.
-
-2004-06-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Enable direct-mode I/O (bypassing the buffer cache), if possible.
- Prompted by a suggestion from Kalle Olavi Niemitalo
- in http://bugs.debian.org/207035.
- * src/shred.c (direct_mode): New function.
- (do_wipefd): Turn on direct-mode I/O.
- (dopass): If a file's first write fails with EINVAL,
- turn off direct-mode I/O and retry the write.
-
-2004-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/tr.c (main): "tr -d a b" is now a fatal error even if
- POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. The POSIX SYNOPSIS does not allow this
- option combination.
-
-2004-06-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/shred.c (dopass): Don't subtract 1 from the offset after
- a write error. Problem reported by Jon Peatfield in:
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-06/msg00020.html
-
-2004-06-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Fix bug reported by Buciuman Adrian in
- <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-08/msg00105.html>
- where 'dd' created a file that was too large. The bug was that dd
- assumed that the input file offset does not advance after a failed
- read; but POSIX says that the input file offset is undefined after
- a failed read.
-
- * src/dd.c (MAX_BLOCKSIZE): New macro.
- (input_seekable, input_seek_errno, input_offset,
- input_offset_overflow): New vars.
- (scanargs): Reject block sizes greater than MAX_BLOCKSIZE.
- (advance_input_offset): New function.
- (skip_via_lseek): Set errno to zero when reporting our failure,
- so that we don't report based on garbage errno.
- (skip): If fdesc is standard input, advance the input offset.
- Do not quit if reading, and if noerror was specified;
- POSIX seems to require this.
- If read fails on output file, report the earlier lseek failure
- instead; this fixes a FIXME in dd_copy.
- (advance_input_after_read_error): New function.
- (dd_copy): Use it, instead of assuming that failed reads
- do not advance the file pointer. Advance input offset
- after nonfailed reads. Advance only a partial block if
- the previous read (before the failed read) succeeded, and
- do not generate an output block of zeros in this case.
- (main): Determine initial input offset, seekability of input,
- and error if it wasn't seekable.

-
- rm (without -f) could hang unnecessarily when attempting to
- remove a symlink to a file on an off-line NFS-mounted partition.
- Reported by David Howells in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/124699.
- * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): New function.
- Don't invoke euidaccess on symlinks.
- (prompt): Use write_protected_non_symlink rather than using
- euidaccess directly, being careful not to call lstat twice for a file.
-
- Fix a bug in how the --output-delimiter=D option works with
- abutting byte or character ranges. Reported by David Krider in
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-05/msg00132.html
- * src/cut.c (print_kth): Remove special case for open-ended range.
- (set_fields): Record the range start index for an interval even
- when it abuts another interval on its low side.
- Also record the range start index of the longest right-open-interval.
- * tests/cut/Test.pm: Add tests of --output-delimiter=S with
- abutting and overlapping byte ranges.
-
-2004-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Some POSIX-conformance cleanups for tr.
-
- * src/tr.c (posix_pedantic): Remove; no longer needed since
- we need to test this in just one place now.
- (usage): Mention -C.
- (unquote): Note that \055, \n, etc are escaped.
- Do not worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT when warning about ambiguous
- escape sequences.
- \ at end of string stands for itself.
- Do not diagnose invalid backslash escapes: POSIX says the behavior
- is unspecified in this case, so we don't need to diagnose it.
- (main): Add support for -C (currently an alias for -c).
- Do not diagnose 'tr [:upper:] [:upper:], as POSIX does not require
- a diagnostic here.
- * tests/tr/Test.pm: New tests bs-055, bs-at-end, repeat-Compl.
- Fix comment for range-a-a.
-
-2004-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Improve the efficiency (and in one case, correctness) of code
- that reads symlinks.
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't use alloca, as it can mess up
- royally if the link length is long (e.g., GNU/Hurd). Use
- xreadlink instead, it's safer. Don't bother to read the link if
- it's the wrong size. Add a FIXME because this area is a bit murky
- and undocumented.
- * src/ls.c (get_link_name): Update use of xreadlink.
- * src/readlink.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/stat.c (print_stat): Likewise.
-
-2004-06-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: echo compatibility cleanup.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (echo invocation): Document the changes.
- * src/echo.c (V9_ECHO): Remove; always enabled.
- (DEFAULT_ECHO_TO_XPG): Renamed from V9_DEFAULT, so that
- we use the same naming convention as bash. Now an enum,
- not a macro.
- (usage): Reword to mention -e/-E more accurately.
- Mention \0NNN (the POSIX syntax) rather than \NNN (nonstandard).
- (hextobin): New function.
- (main): Use bool rather than int for local vars when appropriate.
- Do not allow options if POSIXLY_CORRECT, unless we are using
- BSD semantics and the first argument is "-n".
- Don't pass unnecessary extra arg to parse_long_options.
- do_v9 now defaults to DEFAULT_ECHO_TO_XPG, not to allow_options.
- Do not look for options if !allow_options.
- Use size_t rather than int when appropriate.
- Open-code option test rather than using strrchr.
- Use faster test for "-".
- Avoid redundant argc test.
- Add support for \x, for Bash compatibility.
- Use e.g. '\a' rather than '\007', for portability to EBCDIC hosts.
- When '\c' is encountered, stop printing immediately, as POSIX
- requires.
- Add support for \xhh syntax.
- Add support for \0ooo syntax; POSIX requires this.

- * Use automake-1.8b. Regenerate dependent files.
-
-2004-05-31 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/Makefile.am.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define PATH to include
- the build src/ directory -- at the front.
- ($(srcdir)/$x-tests): Depend on Makefile.am.
- Use $x as the program name, except when it would be `test' (test is
- the sole program tested via mk-script that is also a shell built-in).
- In that case, use the old ../../src/$x.
-
-2004-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Work around HPUX /bin/cc compiler bug that is exposed, now that
- sets are arrays of type `bool'. More details here:
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2004-05/msg00094.html
- FIXME: verify that the above URL points to the right message
-
- * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Use cleaner `sizeof in_set'
- rather than `N_CHARS * sizeof(in_set[0])'. Using HPUX's /bin/cc
- (aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]) on an ia64-hp-hpux11.22
- system, those two expressions are not the same (256 vs. 1024).
- The effect of this problem was that `tr -c x y' would fail:
- tr: when not truncating set1, string2 must be non-empty
- (set_initialize): Remove unnecessary initialization of the `in_set'
- buffer; that initialization triggered the same compiler bug as above.
-
-2004-05-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- tr cleanup, mostly having to do with integer type ranges.
- Remove all casts.
-
- * tests/tr/Test.pm: Add a few tests for the below. Alas, most of
- the test cases wouldn't be portable, or would take too much CPU
- time, or both.
-
- * src/tr.c (N_CHARS, N_CHAR_CLASSES): Now an enum, not a macro.
- This is safe since the code already assumes N_CHARS fits in int.
- (Filter): Remove: we want to prototype everything.
- (ORD, CHR): Remove. All uses removed. Some replaced with:
- (uchar): New function. All places where a char must be converted
- to an unsigned char are now done this way, not by ad-hoc methods.
- (count): New type. Use it whenever counts or states are needed.
- (BEGIN_STATE): Increase from INT_MAX - 1 (which was bogus, anyway,
- since we used it in an unsigned int context) to UINTMAX_MAX - 1.
- (REPEAT_COUNT_MAXIMUM): New macro. Use it in place of BEGIN_STATE
- whenever appropriate.
- (NOT_A_CHAR): Remove global macro; now a local enum.
- (UL_LOWER, UL_UPPER, UL_NONE): No longer specify values, since
- the rest of the code no longer depends on them.
- (class_ok): Remove; all uses changed to use inline comparisons.
- (RE_NO_TYPE): Remove; wasn't used or needed.
- (struct List_element): normal_char and equiv_code are now unsigned
- char, not int.
- first_char, last_char, and the_repeated_char are now unsigned char,
- not unsigned int. repeat_count is now count, not size_t.
- All uses changed.
- (struct Spec_list): state is now count, not unsigned int.
- lengthis now count, not size_t.
- n_indefinite_repeats is now size_t, not int.
- has_equiv_class, has_char_class, and has_restricted_char_class
- are now bool, not int. All uses changed.
- (struct E_string): s is now char *, not unsigned char *.
- escaped is now bool *, not int *. All uses changed.
- (ES_MATCH): Remove macro, replacing with:
- (es_match): New inline function. All uses changed.
- (squeeze_repeats, complement, posix_pedantic, truncate_set1,
- translating): Now bool, not int.
- (io_buf): Now char array, not unsigned char.
- (SET_TYPE): Remove. All uses replaced with bool.
- (is_equiv_class_member, unquote, append_range, append_char_class,
- append_equiv_class, find_closing_delim, star_digits_closebracket,
- build_spec_list, parse_str, homogeneous_spec_list):
- Now returns bool, not int. All uses changed.
- (is_equiv_class_member): Now inline.
- (is_equiv_class_member, is_char_class_member, make_printable_str,
- append_normal_char, append_range, append_repeated_char,
- get_s2_spec_stats):
- Args are now of proper integer type.
- (unquote, look_up_char_class, make_printable_str,
- append_equiv_class, build_spec_list, squeeze_filter):
- Avoid unsigned char *p; gently convert *p to unsigned char instead.
- (unquote, get_spec_stats): Do not jump past declarations and then
- use them; C doesn't allow this in portable programs.
- (make_printable_str): Check for overflow in size calculations.
- (xmemdup): Remove. All uses rewritten.
- (find_bracketed_repeat): Args are now of proper pointer-to-integer
- type. Do not reject [c*0]. Use xstrtoumax, not xstrtoul.
- (find_bracketed_repeat, star_digits_closebracket): Check that the
- digits are not escaped.
- (build_spec_list): Don't bother to copy opnd_str; not needed.
- (build_spec_list, get_next): Simplify internal logic a bit.
- (card_of_complement): Fix bug due to char overflow.
- (get_spec_stats): Don't assume len fits into int.
- Check for integer overflow. Use abort() rather than assert(0).
- (string2_extend): Fix subscript error: is_char_class_member (..., 255)
- was being invoked.
- (squeeze_filter): READER is never null now; simplify code.
- READER arg now has a simpler type. Remove unnecessary casts.
- (squeeze_filter, main): Calls to fwrite improperly checked result
- against zero, rather than against requested size.
- (plain_read): New function.
- (read_and_delete, read_and_xlate):
- Remove unused filter arg, and don't worry about hit_eof.
- Simplify by using plain_read.
- (set_initialize): Args are bool and bool *, not int and SET_TYPE *.
- (main): Always pass a non-null procedure to squeeze_filter.
- Rewrite so that class_ok isn't needed.

- * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Eliminate an unnecessary comparison.
-
-2004-05-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- rm -r would get a failed assertion when run from an inaccessible
- directory and with two or more command line arguments including an
- absolute-named directory followed by a relative-named directory.
-
- * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [require_restore_cwd]: New member.
- * src/remove.c (struct cwd_state): Define.
- (AD_pop_and_chdir): Redesign interface so that a restore_cwd failure
- can be detected by the caller. Instead of returning a malloc'd
- directory name, communicate it to caller via a new parameter, and
- return an indication of whether restore_cwd failed. Update caller.
- Eliminate an unnecessary call to AC_stack_top.
- (remove_dir): Change type of cwd_state parameter to `struct cwd_state'
- so we can now communicate to caller whether/how functions like
- restore_cwd have failed. Update caller.
- (rm_1): Fail if we've failed to restore the working directory
- and the name of the next file to remove is `.'-relative.
- (rm): Fail if the require_restore_cwd flag is true and we've
- failed to restore the working directory.
- * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize new member,
- x->require_restore_cwd.
- * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.

-
- * Makefile.maint (sc_unmarked_diagnostics): Now that the unmarked
- diagnostics in shred.c have been fixed, don't exempt shred.c from
- this check.
-
- * src/shred.c: Use translatable diagnostics, e.g.
- change "%s: remove" to _("%s: failed to remove") and
- change "%s: close" to _("%s: failed to close").
-
-2004-05-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/shred.c (names): Bring back lower-case letters, "_", and

- shell metacharacters (for some shells) or are not in some
- character sets, or (in the case of '%') must be a

- Adapt tests accordingly.
- * tests/chgrp/basic: Use -h where necessary to retain semantics.

- * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Likewise.
-
-2004-05-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- In shred, check for errors from fdatasync more carefully. If
- fdatasync fails with errno==EINVAL, it means this implementation
- does not support synchronized I/O for this file. Do not report
- this as an error, as (for example) AIX 5.2 fdatasync reports it
- for raw disk devices. Problem reported by Albert Chin in
- <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2004-05/msg00028.html>.
-
- Check for write errors, though: the old code ignored them.
- Improve error checking in a few other cases, too (e.g., close of a
- directory).
-
- Also, change several 'int' values to 'bool', so that the error
- checking is a bit clearer. Similarly, change unsigned values
- to size_t where appropriate.
-
- * src/shred.c: Include "dirname.h".
- (datasync) [!HAVE_FDATASYNC]: Remove.
- (dosync): New function.
- (dopass): Use it. Return 1 on write error, -1 on other error.
- All callers changed. Report write error if dosync does.
- (do_wipefd, wipefd, wipename, wipefile): Return bool (true/false),
- not int (0/-1). All callers changed. Return false if there's a
- write error.
- (incname): Return bool (true/false), not int (0/1). Accept
- size_t length, not unsigned. All callers changed. Do not
- bother checking for non-digits; it can't happen. Replace
- recursion with iteration.
- (wipename): Use dir_name, base_name, etc. instead of assuming
- Unix file names. Use size_t for length, not unsigned.
- Report error if unlink or close fails.
- (wipename, main): Use bool for booleans.
-
- (names): Use only digits and uppercase letters, for greater
- portability.

-
- Fix bug where "rm" gave up too easily, reported by Dan Jacobsen in
- <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-05/msg00013.html>.
-
- * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Check for errno values like ENOENT
- that show the file cannot be directory, instead of for errno
- values like EPERM that show the file might be a directory. This
- is necessary because, when a single unlink() call has multiple
- reasons to fail, it can set errno to any of those reasons; it's
- only the rare errno value like ENOENT that excludes all the other
- possible reasons to fail even when the file is a directory.
- (remove_cwd_entries): Don't attempt chdir if the file is known
- to not be a directory.
- (remove_dir): Use the same method that remove_cwd_entries uses
- (for some reason they differed). Don't assert that saved_errno
- must be EPERM; it might be just about anything.
-
-2004-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/id.c (xgetgroups): Use xnmalloc, rather than xmalloc.
- Don't add `1' to the buffer size (it was to protect against malloc
- implementations that fail to allocate a buffer of size zero).
- That is no longer necessary, since we use a malloc wrapper
- on such systems.
-
- * src/wc.c (get_input_fstatus): Use xnmalloc, rather than xmalloc.
- * src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_pipe): Likewise.
- * src/df.c (main): Likewise.

-2004-04-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/df.c (show_disk, show_point): If several filesystems are
- mounted on the same mount point, prefer the last one, not the first.
- Problem reported by Christian Jones in
- <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-04/msg00200.html>.
- (show_disk): Remove unused statp arg. Return bool, not int.
- (show_point): Rewrite to avoid gotos. Use the same algorithm
- for lofs and dummies for each pass through the mount table,
- rather than subtly different algorithms (which are probably
- inadvertent).
-
-2004-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add m4/ChangeLog, now that we no longer
- have m4/Makefile*.
-
-2004-05-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- When chown or chgrp is modifying the referent of a symlink,
- use the chown(2) function, if possible.
- * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't hard-code the
- open/fchown/close kludge here. Use `chown' instead.
- The chown function works just fine on conforming systems.
- Other systems now go through the new chown wrapper that
- resorts to the old kludge.
-
- * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add a comment.
-
-2004-04-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ptx.c: Make over 40 global extern variables `static'.

-
-2004-04-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Use automake-1.8.4. Regenerate dependent files.
-
- * src/sort.c (limfield): Make a comment clearer.
-
-2004-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- Fix POSIX-conformance bug: "sort -k 3,3.5b" is supposed to skip
- leading blanks when computing the location of the field end;
- it is not supposed to skip trailing blanks. Solaris 8 "sort"
- does conform to POSIX. Also fix the documentation to clarify
- this and related issues.
-
- * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Mention -k earlier, so
- that the options are in alphabetical order. Describe how -b works
- more-accurately; this involves fixing some examples, too. Mention
- what happens if the start field falls after an end field or after
- a line end. Warn about using -k without -b, -g, -M, -n, or -t.
- Add an example of how to sort IPv4 addresses and Apache Common
- Log Format dates. Remove a duplicate example.
- (Putting the tools together): Use separate options rather
- than agglomerating them.
- * src/sort.c (limfield): Use skipeblanks, not skipsblanks, to
- decode whether to skip leading blanks.
- (trailing_blanks): Remove.
- (fillbuf, getmonth, keycompare): Don't trim trailing blanks.
-
- * tests/pr/Test.pm: Fix typo in env_default comment.
- * tests/sort/Test.pm: Likewise.
- (18c, 18d): Reverse the order of output lines, so that the
- test cases conform to POSIX.
-
-2004-04-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- More signal-handling cleanup for ls.c. Do not allow signals to
- happen between arbitrary output bytes, as the
- restore-default-color sequence can bollix up multibyte chars or
- color-change sequences in the ordinary output. Instead, process
- signals only between printing a file name and changing the color
- back to non_filename_text color. That way, if the signal handler
- changes the color (to the default), 'ls' will change it back when
- 'ls' continues (after being suspended).
-
- Also, do not bother with signal-handling unless stdout is a
- controlling terminal; this lets stdio buffer better when "ls
- --color" is piped or sent to a file.
-
- * src/ls.c (sigprocmask, sigset_t) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: New macros.
- Do not include "full-write.h"; no longer needed.
- (tcgetpgrp) [! HAVE_TCGETPGRP]: New macro.
- (put_indicator_direct): Remove. All callers changed to use
- put_indicator.
- (caught_signals, interrupt_signal, stop_signal_count): New vars.
- (restore_default_color): Don't bother checking for put_indicator
- failure.
- (sighandler): Don't handle SIGTSTP; that's another handler now.
- Simply set interrupt_signal to the signal, then exit.
- (stophandler, process_signals): New functions.
- (main): Don't output any color changes until _after_ the signal
- handlers are set up. This fixes a race condition where 'ls'
- could be interrupted while initializing colors, and leaving the
- terminal in an undesirable state.
- Don't mess with signal-handling if standard output is not a
- controlling terminal.
- When exiting, restore the default color, then restore the
- default signal handling, then act on any signals that weren't
- acted on yet.
- Do not print //DIRED// etc. in colors; this avoids the need
- to catch signals when printing them.
- (print_name_with_quoting): Process signals just before switching
- color back to non_filename_text.
-
-2004-04-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Avoid segfault on systems for which SIZE_MAX != (size_t) -1.
- * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use SIZE_MAX, not -1, in calls
- of quotearg_buffer. Patch by Mikulas Patocka.
-
-2004-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- tee ignored SIGPIPE, but POSIX doesn't allow this.
-
- * src/tee.c (main): Do not ignore SIGPIPE, as POSIX 1003.1-2001
- does not allow this. This undoes the 1996-10-24 patch.
-
-2004-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- Signal-handling cleanup for coreutils. Here are the highlights:
-
- - csplit sometimes failed to remove files when interrupted.
- - csplit didn't clean up if two signals arrived nearly simultaneously.
- - install -s would infloop on System V if SIGCHLD was ignored.
- - ls could incorrectly restore color if multiple signals
- arrived nearly simultaneously.
-
- * src/csplit.c (sigprocmask, sigset_t) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]:
- Define.
- (filename_space, prefix, suffix, digits, files_created, remove_files):
- Now volatile.
- (caught_signals): New var.
- (cleanup): Block signals while deleting all files.
- (cleanup_fatal, handle_line_error, regexp_error):
- Mark with ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
- (create_output_file, close_output_file, interrupt_handler):
- Block signals while changing the number of output files,
- to fix some race conditions.
- (delete_all_files): Do nothing if remove_files is zero.
- Clear files_created.
- (main): Don't mess with signals until after argument processing
- is done.
-
- * src/csplit.c (main): Rewrite signal-catching code to make it
- similar to other coreutils programs. When processing signals,
- block all signals that we catch, but do not block signals that we
- don't catch. Avoid problems with unsigned int warnings.
- * src/ls.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/sort.c (main): Likewise.
-
- * src/csplit.c (interrupt_handler):
- Use void, not (obsolete) RETSIGTYPE.
- * src/shred.c (sigill_handler, isaac_seed_machdep): Likewise.
-
- * src/csplit.c (interrupt_handler) [defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]:
- Use simpler "signal (sig, SIG_DFL)" rather than sigaction equivalent.
- * src/ls.c (sighandler) [defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Likewise.
- * src/sort.c (sighandler) [defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Likewise.
- * src/nohup.c (main) [!defined _POSIX_SOURCE]: Likewise, except
- for SIG_IGN.
- * src/tee.c (main) [!defined _POSIX_SOURCE]: Likewise.
-
- * src/install.c: Include <signal.h>.
- (main) [defined SIGCHLD]: Set SIGCHLD handler to the default, if -s is
- given, since System V fork+wait does not work if SIGCHLD is ignored.
-
- * src/ls.c (sighandler) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Reset signal
- handler to self, not to SIG_IGN, since SIGTSTP can be received
- more than once.
- (main): Use SA_RESTART, as that is simpler than checking for EINTR
- failures all over the place.
-
-2004-04-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Clarify comment.
-
- * man/help2man: Accept new option: --program-name=NAME, so that we
- can override the one in --version output. This is needed solely
- so that test.1 doesn't refer to `[' as the program name.
- Reported by Benjamin Cutler as http://bugs.debian.org/205251.
- * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use help2man's new --program-name option.
-
- * src/pwd.c: Don't include pathmax.h; system.h already does it.
-
- * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Free buffer upon getndelim2 failure.
-
-2004-04-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-

- * src/pwd.c: (path_free, path_init, path_prepend): New functions.
- (nth_parent, find_dir_entry, robust_getcwd): New functions.
- (main): First try getcwd, then, upon failure, robust_getcwd.
-
-2004-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/who.c (print_user): Use xrealloc here, rather than

-
- * Makefile.maint (.re-list): New rule/file, to replace
- hard-coded list of header file names.
- (sc_system_h_headers): Use the new file.

- (touch, main): Adjust to above changes.
- (main): Work even if tm_year == INT_MAX (so long as long int is wider).
- Use gettime instead of gettimeofday, for new get_date signature.
-
- * tests/date/Test.pm (test_vector): New tests epoch, ns-10, ns-max32,
- ns-relative.
-
-2004-03-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): `Make' the emit_upload_commands
- target before updating $(prev_version_file).
-
- * tests/misc/date-sec: New file, to test for just-fixed bug in date.
- See today's change in lib/getdate.y.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add date-sec.
-
-2004-03-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): Use `.sig' suffix for
- signature files, not `.asc'. Reported by angico@yahoo.com.
-
-2004-03-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/cp.c (do_copy): Tweak wording in a diagnostic.
- Suggestion from Karl Berry.
- Include "quoatearg.h".
- (do_copy): Use quotearg_colon (not quote) for diagnostics
- that begin with `"%s:'.
-
- * src/nl.c (usage): Specify that nl uses _basic_ regular expressions.
- Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
-
-2004-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Version 5.2.1.
-
- Sometimes, when source and destination partition are different,
- mv mistakenly fails to preserve a hard link. Reported by IIDA Yosiaki.
-
- * src/copy.c: When moving a set of N hard-linked files between
- partitions, via two or more command line arguments where the
- command line argument containing the Nth link contains no other
- link to that same file, mv would mistakenly copy the file, rather
- than hard-linking it to the other(s). That happens because when the
- final link is processed, its link count has been reduced to 1 since
- the other links have been `copied' to the destination partition
- and the source links have been removed.
- (copy_internal): When in move mode, use the source dev/inode
- pair to look up destination name even when st_nlink == 1.
- * src/cp-hash.c (src_to_dest_lookup): New function.
- * src/cp-hash.h (src_to_dest_lookup): Add prototype.
- * tests/mv/part-hardlink: New file. Test for the above fix.
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add part-hardlink.
-
- * announce-gen: Sync with autoconf.
-
- * tests/ls/time-1: Exit 77 (not 1) if we can't set up for the test.
- This was triggered on a Linux-2.2.19 system using a file system
- NFS-mounted from some sort of Sun.
-
-2004-03-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Use automake-1.8.3. Regenerate dependent files.
-
-2004-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/deref-args: Also convert sizes in the 70-79 kB range,
- so that this test works with SELinux-enabled systems.
- Based on a patch from Tim Waugh.
-
- `join -1 x' would give a misleading diagnostic
- * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Report that a non-numeric field
- number is invalid, rather than `so large that it is not representable'.
- * tests/join/Test.pm (invalid-j): New partial test for the above fix.
-
-2004-03-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- cp --sparse=always sparse-image-file.img /dev/hda1 could
- produce an invalid copy on the destination device.
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Even with --sparse=always, try to
- make `holes' only if the destination is a regular file.
- Reported by Szakacsits Szabolcs.
-
-2004-03-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * src/nohup.c (main): Don't invoke set_cloexec_flag with
- a file descriptor of -1.
-
-2004-03-02 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
-
- * src/nohup.c: Include "cloexec.h".
- (main): Set the copy of stderr to close on exec.
-
-2004-03-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * configure.ac: Include <signal.h> when checking for strsignal,
- sys_siglist, and friends. Problem reported by Tony Leneis in
- <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-02/msg00136.html>.

- etc. are set.
-
-2004-02-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * NEWS: Document how chown's USER.GROUP argument is now parsed.
-
-2004-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/seq.c (usage): Remove stray space after \n in --help output.
-
-2004-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/du.c (usage): Separate -H and --si. Say that the meaning
- of -H will soon change to that of --dereference-args (-D).
-
-2004-02-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/comm.c (usage): Tell what comm does when there are no options.
- Reword in terms of FILE1 and FILE2 rather than `left file' and
- `right file'. Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
-
-2004-02-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- Fix some POSIX-conformance bugs in expr.
-
- * NEWS: document the following changes to src/expr.c.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (expr invocation): Likewise.
- Document what forms integers may take, and say "integer"
- consistently instead of "number". Warn about operands
- that "expr" can misinterpret, and how to work around the
- problem.
- * src/expr.c (eval, eval7, eval6, eval5, eval4, eval3, eval2, eval1):
- Accept a bool argument specifying whether to evaluate the
- expression. This is to allow short-circuit evaluation. All
- callers changed.
- (null): Report that a string is zero even if it has
- a form like "-0" or "00".
- (eval1, eval): Use short-circuit evaluation for | and &.
- (eval): Return 0 if both arguments are null or zero, instead
- of returning the first argument.
- * tests/expr/basic: Add some tests for the above.
-
-2004-02-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Version 5.2.0.
-
- `make check' from a build inside a chroot environment would fail
- * tests/help-version: Specify an argument (`/') for df, in the
- unusual event that there is no valid entry in /etc/mtab.
- Likewise for id: add the -u option, so we don't get spurious
- failures when there are no user or group names.
- Patch by Tim Waugh.
-
- * src/sort.c (usage) [-u]: Add punctuation so that the description in
- the help2man-generated (line-joined) man page is more readable.
- Reported by Tim Waugh.
- [-T]: Add a semicolon, for the same reason.
-
-2004-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.am (dist-hook): Qualify target with $(srcdir)/ prefix.
-
-2004-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/Makefile.am.in ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Use more portable
- $(srcdir)/../Makefile.am.in, rather than $<.
- Suggestion from Michael Elizabeth Chastain.
-
-2004-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * config/install-sh: Make this script executable.
- * Makefile.am (dist-hook): New target, to ensure that config/install-sh
- is executable. Otherwise, on systems that lack a suitable install
- binary, `make install' would fail, because of the way this script
- is invoked (without `$SHELL ' prefix).
- Reported by Bob Proulx.
-
-2004-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Version 5.1.3.
-
- * tests/rm/rm5: Avoid triggering a bug in OSF/Tru64's sed
- that would cause an unwarranted test failure.
- * tests/rm/rm3: Likewise.
-
-2004-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Remove xstat function pointer member. The way it was used was not
- portable, since some systems (OSF V5.1, Solaris 2.5.1) provide static
- inline `stat' and `lstat' functions, thus making the tests of
- `xstat == lstat' in copy.c always fail.
- * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [xstat]: Remove member.
- (XSTAT): New macro.
- * src/copy.c (copy_dir): Set `.dereference' member, not .xstat.
- (copy_internal): Use `XSTAT (x, ...)' in place of `*(x->xstat) (...)'.
- Use `x->dereference == DEREF_NEVER' in place of `x->xstat == lstat'.
- (valid_options): Remove now-obsolete FIXME comments.
-
- * src/cp.c (re_protect): Use `XSTAT (x, ...)' in place of
- `*(x->xstat) (...)'.
- (do_copy): Declare/use local xstat rather than x->xstat.
- (main): Remove code that set x.xstat.
- * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Don't initialize xstat member.
- * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
-
- * Makefile.cfg (gnu_ftp_host-alpha, etc.): Un-factor .gnu.org suffix,
- so that emit_upload_commands can use these variables, too.
-
-2004-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/rm/deep-1: Remove `du' stack space test.
- Apparently, `ulimit -s N' isn't portable enough.
- This test will be restored (with a guard against losing ulimit)
- in its own file later.
-
- * tests/rm/deep-1 (deep): Remove progress-style diagnostics,
- since this test doesn't take long enough to merit them.
- Run du on $tmp (the containing dir), not $deep, the full path to leaf.
-
- * Makefile.maint (signatures): Remove definition.
- Now, automake's gnupload handles this.
- (%.sig: %): Remove now-unused rule.
- (rel-files): Use automake's $(DIST_ARCHIVES), rather than
- `$(distdir).tar.bz2 $(distdir).tar.gz'.
- (emit-upload-commands): Adjust to use gnupload.
-
-2004-02-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/system.h (ST_TIME_CMP_NS, ST_TIME_CMP): Remove definitions.
- (ATIME_CMP, CTIME_CMP, MTIME_CMP, TIMESPEC_NS): Likewise.
- Now, those are all defined in timespec.h.
- Include timespec.h.
-
- * src/date.c: Don't include timespec.h, now that system.h does it.
-
-2004-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- Don't dump core if localtime returns NULL (possible on
- hosts with 64-bit time_t and 32-bit int).
- * src/date.c: Include "inttostr.h".
- (batch_convert, main):
- If time conversion fails, exit with nonzero status.
- (show_date): Return int to report conversion failure.
- Print the time as an int if localtime fails.
- * src/uptime.c: Print "??" if the current clock can't
- be converted by localtime. This won't happen until the year
- 2*31 + 1900, but we don't want to dump core even if the current
- clock has the wrong value.
-
- * src/stat.c: Include "inttostr.h".
- (human_time): Print the date/time as a number of seconds since the
- epoch if it can't be converted by localtime. This is better than
- just saying "invalid", and is consistent with what "ls" does.
- Don't dump core if the year has more than 48 digits; this isn't
- possible on any contemporary host, but we might as well do it right.
-
-2004-01-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * src/stat.c (human_time): Accept time rather than
- pointer-to-const-time parameter, for clarity. All callers changed.
-
-2004-02-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/stat.c (do_stat): Remove extra trailing newline from
- default formats. Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
-
- Print actual fractional seconds in time stamps, not just `.00000000'.
- * src/stat.c (human_time): Add and use new parameter, t_ns.
- (print_stat): Update callers.
- * src/ls.c (TIMESPEC_NS): Remove definition.
- * src/system.h (TIMESPEC_NS): Define here, instead, now that stat.c
- also uses this macro.
- Nelson H. F. Beebe noticed that ls --full-time printed nonzero
- fractional seconds for files on an XFS file system, but that stat's
- fractional seconds were always zero.
-
-2004-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Use 'double' for loop index, not
- 'int', to avoid problems with integer overflow. On almost all
- machines 'double' works in every case where 'int' works, and
- it works on other cases besides.
-
-2004-01-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/seq.c (usage): Mention that if INCREMENT is omitted,
- it defaults to 1, even when FIRST is larger than LAST.
- Reword so as not to exclude the possibility that INCREMENT be zero.
-
-2004-01-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Version 5.1.2.
-
- * Makefile.maint (signatures): Comment out definition.
-
-2004-01-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (header_regexp): Add exitfail.
-
- * man/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add help2man.
- Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
-
- * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Prefix help2man invocation with `$(PERL) --'
- so it works on systems with Perl installed somewhere other than in
- /usr/bin.
-
- * src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Declare local, chr, to be of type
- `int', not `char', since it must hold EOF. This bug would make
- paste infloop on some systems. Test failures reported by
- Nelson H. F. Beebe and Christian Krackowizer.
-
-2004-01-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/rmdir/fail-perm: New file. Test for just-fixed rmdir bug.
- * tests/rmdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-perm.
-
- * man/help2man: Fix it so using --info-page='coreutils PROG' works.
- * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Invoke our own (tweaked) copy of help2man.
- Use --info-page='coreutils PROG' option.
- Now, readlink.1 refers the user to `info coreutils readlink'
- rather than to `info readlink'. Reported by Matt Swift.
-
-2004-01-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- Exit status cleanup.
-
- * src/basename.c (usage): Use EXIT_SUCCESS, not 0, for clarity.

-
- * src/chroot.c (CHROOT_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE, CHROOT_FAILURE):
- Remove.
-
- * src/chroot.c (main): Initialize exit_failure to EXIT_FAIL.
- * src/env.c, src/nice.c, src/su.c: Likewise.
- * src/nohup.c (main): Likewise, to NOHUP_FAILURE.
- * src/setuidgid.c (main): Likewise, to SETUIDGID_FAILURE.
- * src/expr.c (main): Use initialize_exit_failure rather than
- setting exit_failure directly; this optimizes away redundant
- assignments.
- * src/printenv.c, src/sort.c, src/test.c, src/tty.c: Likewise.
-
- * src/chroot.c (main): Exit with status 1 rather than 127
- if chroot itself fails, as per documentation.
-
- * src/chroot.c (main): Use EXIT_ENOENT and EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE
- rather than roll-your-own symbols or integers.
- * src/env.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/nohup.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/su.c (run_shell): Likewise.
-
- * src/cp.c (exit_status): Remove static var....
- (main): Making it local here instead. Use =, not |=, to set it.
-
- * src/cut.c (FATAL_ERROR, main): Exit with status EXIT_FAILURE,
- not 2, on errors.
- * src/date.c (batch_convert, main): Likewise.
- * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Likewise.
- * src/pr.c (first_last_page, main, getoptarg): Likewise.
- * src/tr.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/date.c (main): Don't assume EXIT_FAILURE == 1, as

- All uses changed.
-
- * src/factor.c (main): Do not report a usage error simply
- because stdin has bad numbers.
-
- * src/id.c (problems): Now a boolean int, not a counter,
- so that we don't have to worry about int overflow. All uses changed.
- * src/touch.c (err): Likewise.
-
- * src/md5sum.c (main): Use int, not size_t, to store boolean int.
-
- * src/mkfifo.c (main): Exit with status 1, not 4, if not implemented.
- * src/mknod.c: Likewise.
-
- * src/nice.c (main): Exit with status EXIT_FAIL, not EXIT_FAILURE,
- on error; this is in case EXIT_FAILURE is unusual.
- * src/su.c (main): Likewise.
-
- * src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE): Remove; all uses
- changed to EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE.
-
- * src/printenv.c (PRINTENV_FAILURE): New constant.
- (main): Exit with status PRINTENV_FAILURE, not EXIT_FAILURE, on
- command-line syntax problems.
-
- * src/rmdir.c (remove_parents): Don't set 'fail' to a negative number.
- (main): Avoid integer overflow when seeing whether errors occurred.
-
- * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Now returns void, not (zero) int.
- All callers changed.
- (main): Remove unused local variable 'errs'. Always exit successfully
- if we reach the end.
-
- * src/setuidgid.c (SETUIDGID_FAILURE): Renamed from FAIL_STATUS,
- for consistency with other programs here. All uses changed.
- (main): Use 'error' to exit rather than invoking 'exit' here.
-
- * src/sort.c: Don't include <assert.h>.
- (SORT_OUT_OF_ORDER, SORT_FAILURE): Now enums, not macros.
- (usage): Don't use 'assert'.
- (main): Remove redundant assignment to exit_failure.
-
- * src/system.h (EXIT_FAIL, EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE, EXIT_ENOENT):
- New enum values.
- (initialize_exit_failure): New inline function.
- Include exitfail.h here, since we refer to exit_failure.
- All callers changed to not include exitfail.h.
-
- * src/tty.c (TTY_FAILURE, TTY_WRITE_ERROR): New enum values;
- substitute them for the corresponding integer constants.
-
- * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_date): Remove, as
- 'date' is now normal.
- (expected_failure_status_nohup): New var.
-
-2004-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/touch/relative: Remove `command' syntax.
- Thanks to Nelson H. F. Beebe and Paul Eggert.
-
- * tests/touch/relative: Test only year/month/day, not hours/min/sec,
- so as to avoid problems with systems using TAI clocks.
- Although it's no longer necessary, set TZ=UTC0 also for the
- initial touch command. Reported by Paul Jarc here:
- http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/1504
-
-2004-01-20 Diego Biurrun <diego@biurrun.de>
-
- * src/dircolors.hin: Add .mov to the list of media files.
-
-2004-01-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * tests/touch/relative: Use TZ=UTC0, not TZ=utc (which isn't
- portable). Problem reported by Christian Krackowizer. Also, use
- +0000 rather than +0 to specify a time zone, as the documentation
- requires four digits.
-
-2004-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-
- chown and chgrp now accept POSIX-mandated -H, -L, -P options and
- use fts to perform a directory traversal when -R is specified.
- Before, they operated on full path names, and as such would
- encounter the PATH_MAX (often 4096) limit.
- They are more efficient. For example, before, chgrp -R would
- take almost 5 seconds to change about 2000 directories and fail
- (with `File name too long'), while now it succeeds on a hierarchy
- of depth 20,000 in 1/10 the time.

-
- * src/ls.c (decode_switches) [TIOCGWINSZ]: Comment out the
- warning-inducing test, ws.ws_col <= SIZE_MAX, since it was always
- true on Linux.
-
-2003-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- Fix to avoid a denial-of-service attack if the display width is
- enormous. Also, clean up the code a bit by removing duplicate code.
-
- * src/ls.c (init_column_info): Remove forward decl; no longer needed.
- (calculate_columns): New function, that contains code that used
- to be common to print_many_per_line and print_horizontal.
- (print_many_per_line, print_horizontal): Use it.
- (decode_switches): Set max_idx here, not in calculate_columns.
- (print_current_files): Don't call init_column_info; calculate_columns
- now does that.
- (init_column_info): Don't allocate a lot more space than is needed
- to represent the current set of files. Allocate all the new
- size_t cells in one call to xnmalloc, rather than a row at a time.
-
-2003-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ls.c (init_column_info): Add another FIXME comment.
-
-2003-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- Fix address-arithmetic bug in 'ls', reported by Georgi Guninski.
- Remove several arbitrary limits on hosts where int cannot represent
- all size_t values.
-
- * src/ls.c (struct bin_str.len, length_of_file_name_and_frills, indent,
- nfiles, files_index, tabsize, line_length, struct column_info.line_len,
- struct column_info.col_arr[0], max_idx):
- Now size_t, not int.
- (get_funky_string): Return bool indicating success, instead of
- a negative count to indicate failure. Store number of columns
- through new parameter OUTPUT_COUNT; that way, they can never
- go negative. Change equals_end from int to bool. All uses
- changed.
- (struct column_info.valid_len): Now bool, not int. All uses changed.
- (dired_dump_obstack, get_funky_string, clear_files,

- print_with_commas): Use size_t, not int, for local variables
- that count sizes.
- (decode_switches): Decode sizes using xstrtoul, not xstrtol.
- Check for TIOCGWINSZ returing negative values (or values greater
- than SIZE_MAX!).

- init_column_info):
- Use xmalloc and xnmalloc, not XMALLOC.
- (gobble_file): Use xnrealloc, not XREALLOC.
- (print_color_indicator): Remove now-unnecessary cast to size_t.
-
-2003-10-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * tests/du/no-x: Change wording of diagnostic to match latest du.c.
- * tests/sort/sort-tests: Remove from CVS; assume that people

-
-2003-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- New options: --preserve-root and --no-preserve-root.

-
- * src/csplit.c (main): Remove obsolete FIXME.
-
-2003-10-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Use automake-1.7.8. Regenerate dependent files.
-
-2003-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- csplit cleanup.
-
- * doc/coreutils.texi (csplit invocation):
- The regexp offset need not have a sign; POSIX requires support
- for signless offets.
-
- Be more careful about int widths. For example, remove some
- arbitrary limits by replacing 'unsigned' with 'size_t',
- 'uintmax_t', etc. Use standard bool rather than a homegrown type.
- * lib/Makefile.am (libfetish_a_SOURCES): Add xstrtoimax.c.
- * src/csplit.c (FALSE, TRUE, boolean): Remove. All uses changed
- to <stdbool.h> usage.
- (struct control): offset is now intmax_t, not int.
- repeat_forever is now bool, not int.
- (struct cstring): len is now size_t, not unsigned int.
- (struct buffer_record): bytes_alloc, bytes_used, num_lines are now
- size_t, not unsigned. start_line, first_available are now
- uintmax_t, not unsigned.
- (hold_count, control_used): Now size_t, not unsigned.
- (last_line_number, current_line, bytes_written):
- Now uintmax_t, not unsigned.
- (save_to_hold_area, red_input, keep_new_line, record_line_starts,
- create_new_buffer, get_new_buffer, load_buffer, find_line,
- process_regexp, split_file, new_control_record, extract_regexp,
- get_format_width, get_format_prec, max_out):
- size args, locals, and returned values are now size_t, not unsigned
- or int.
- (get_first_line_in_buffer, find_line, write_to_file,
- handle_line_error, process_line_count, regexp_error, process_regexp,
- split_file):
- File line, byte, and repetition counts are now uintmax_t, not unsigned.
- (check_for_offset): Don't require a sign before the offset.
- Use xstrtoimax to do the real work.
- (extract_regexp): Remove harmful cast of size to unsigned.
- 256 -> 1<<CHAR_BIT, for clarity.
- (get_format_flags): Return at most 3, to avoid worries about overflow.
-
- (bytes_to_octal_digits): Remove.
-
- (cleanup): Don't check whether output_stream is NULL, since
- close_output_file does that for us.
-
- (new_line_control, create_new_buffer): Use "foo *p = xmalloc
- (sizeof *p);" instead of the more long-winded alternatives.
-
- (get_new_buffer): Use O(1) algorithm for resizing a buffer
- to a much larger size, instead of an O(N) algorithm.
-
- (process_regexp): Use plain NULL rather than casted 0.
-
- (make_filename): Use %u, not %d, to format unsigned file number.
-
- (new_control_record): Use xrealloc exclusively, since it handles
- NULL reliably.
-
- (extract_regexp): Change misspelled word in diagnostic.
-
- (get_format_width): Even if a minimum field width is specified,
- allow room for enough octal digits to represent the value of
- the maximum representible integer. This fixes a potential
- buffer overrun. Calculate this room at compile-time, not
- at run-time; this removes the need for bytes_to_octal_digits.
- Check for overflow; this removes a FIXME.
-
- (get_format_prec): Don't allow precision to be signed; it's
- not ANSI. Check for overflow. Remove hardcoded "11" as
- default precision; this fixes a potential buffer overrun
- on hosts with wider size_t.
-
- (get_format_conv_type): Change local variable to be of type
- unsigned char, not int; this removes a potential subscript
- violation on hosts where char is signed.
-
- (max_out): Replace "for (;*p;)" with more-standard "while (*p)".
- Allow "%%" in format. Don't overflow when
- counting lots of percents.
-
- (usage): Default sprintf format is %02u, not %d.

- POSIX compliant.
-
-2003-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- directories elsewhere.
- * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible-cwd.
-
- * tests/rm/deep-1: Ensure that du can process a hierarchy
- of depth 400 while using no more than 50KB of stack space.

- Before there were a couple of portability problems.
-
-2003-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): New rule.
- (syntax-check-rules): Add it.

-2003-09-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Don't exhaust virtual memory when processing large inputs.
- Fix this by removing csplit's internal free-list management;
- instead rely on malloc for that.
-
- * src/csplit.c (free_list): Remove global.
- (clear_all_line_control): Remove function.
- (get_new_buffer): Always use create_new_buffer to obtain a
- new buffer, rather than searching free_list.
- (free_buffer): Just call free.
- Reported by Nikola Milutinovic.
-
-2003-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * man/rm.x: Also list `chattr' in SEE ALSO section.
- Suggestion from Mark Hubbart.
-
-2003-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * configure.ac: Don't invoke AC_AIX or AC_MINIX explicitly, now
- that we use gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, since it AC_REQUIREs them.
-
- * Use autoconf-2.57d. Regenerate dependent files.
-
-2003-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Minor efficiency tweak.

- value is the number of bytes written.
-
-2003-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

- * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
-
- * src/csplit.c (close_output_file): Don't report bogus errno value
- after ferror discovers an output error. We don't know the proper
- errno value, since it might have been caused by any of a whole
- bunch of calls, and it might have been trashed in the meantime.
- Fixing this problem will require much more extensive changes;
- in the meantime just say "write error".
- * src/od.c (check_and_close, dump, dump_strings): Likewise.
- * src/uniq.c (check_file): Likewise.
-
- * src/join.c (get_line): Report error right away if I/O fails,

- * src/tee.c (tee): Once a write failure has occurred, don't bother
- writing anything more to that stream.
-
- * src/uniq.c (check_file): Check for ferror (stdout) even if
- ostream == stdout.
-
- * src/yes.c (UNROLL): Remove.

-
- * src/sort.c (sort_buffer_size): Omit SIZE_BOUND arg. Compute the
- size_bound ourselves. if an input file is a pipe and the user
- specified a size, use that size instead of trying to guess the

-
- * NEWS: sort -t '\0' now uses a NUL tab.
- sort option order no longer matters, unless POSIX requires it.
- * src/sort.c (usage): Say "blanks" instead of "whitespace",
- Similar fixes for many comments.
- (TAB_DEFAULT): New constant, so that we can support NUL as
- the field separator.
- (tab): Now int, not char. Initialize to TAB_DEFAULT.
- (specify_sort_size): If multiple sizes are specified, use the largest.
- (begfield, limfield): Support NUL tab char.
- (set_ordering): Do not let -i override -d.
- (main): Report an error if incompatible -o or -t options are given.
- Report an error for "-t ''". Allow "-t '\0'" to specify a NUL tab.

-
- Bug report and patch here:
- <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-09/msg00009.html>
- * src/tail.c (pipe_lines): Don't truncate return value from safe_read.
- * src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe): Likewise.
-
-2003-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/du.c (AUTHORS): Remove Larry McVoy's name, since the relatively
- small amount of code from him was first moved to lib/human.c, and was
- subsequently rewritten entirely.
- * src/df.c (AUTHORS): Likewise.
-
-2003-08-22 Lawrence Teo <lcteo@uncc.edu>
-
- * src/md5sum.c (split_3): Accept the BSD format for generic
- message digest modes. Currently works with BSD's MD5 and SHA1
- formats since these are the two algorithms presently used in
- coreutils. Updated comments to reflect this change.
- (bsd_split_3): Updated comments.
-
- * tests/md5sum/basic-1: New test to make sure that
- `md5sum --check' doesn't accept the BSD SHA1 format (adapted
- from `check-bsd' test in tests/sha1sum/basic-1).
-
- * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (check-bsd2, check-bsd3): New tests for
- --check exit status and BSD SHA1 format (adapted from tests
- in tests/md5sum/basic-1).
-

-
- * src/ln.c (do_link): Use SAME_INODE rather than open-coding it.
-
- When source and destination arguments refer to the same file, reside
- on a partition (e.g. VFAT) on which distinct names may refer to the
- same directory entry (often due to variations in case), and when the
- link count for the file is 1, mv no longer unlinks the file. Instead,
- it gives the expected diagnostic that the source and destination are
- the same. WARNING: this is an incomplete fix. If the file happens
- to have a link count of 2 or greater, such an erroneous mv command
- will still unlink it.
- Although that is not possible on vfat or umsdos, it is possible on
- other file system types, e.g., ntfs, and hpfs.
- * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Invoke same_name (which might still
- return false for names that refer to the same directory entry)
- only if the link count is 2 or more.
- * tests/mv/vfat: Show how to demonstrate the above problem.
- This test is not run.
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add vfat.
-
-2003-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/who.c: Change meaning of -l from --lookup to --login, per POSIX.
- who's -l option has been eliciting an unconditional warning about
- this impending change since sh-utils-2.0.12 (April 2002).
-
- * src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Don't output `EOF' (aka -1) as a `char'.
- This would happen for nonempty files not ending with a newline.
- Reported by Dan Jacobson.
- * tests/misc/paste-no-nl: New file. Test for above-fixed bug.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add paste-no-nl.
-
- * src/stat.c (print_it): Avoid buffer overrun that would
- occur when the user-specified format string ends with `%'.
- Patch by Tommi Kyntola.
- * tests/misc/stat-fmt: New file. Test for above-fixed bug.

- * src/stat.c (main): Warn about use of deprecated `-l' option.
-
-2003-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/stat.c (do_stat): For link count at end of line, use %h format,
- instead of %-5h. The latter would make stat emit trailing spaces.
- Reported by Dan Jacobson.

-2003-08-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Avoid unnecessary and sometimes time-consuming hostname lookups.
- * src/who.c (print_user): Use strchr, not strrchr.

- * src/sys2.h (strtoull): Remove unused declaration.
-
-2003-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Ensure that generated PROGRAM.1 files
- are read-only.
-
- * src/tail.c (tail_lines): Fix a potential (but very hard to exercise)
- race condition bug. The bug would be triggered when tailing a file
- with file pointer not at beginning of file, and where the file was
- truncated to have a length of less than the initial offset at just
- the right moment (between the two lseek calls in this function).
-
- An invalid initial value for *read_pos would result in
- `tail -n0 -f FILE' and `tail -c0 -f FILE' doing what amounted to a
- busy-wait rather than sleeping between iterations. The bug manifests
- itself only when tailing regular files that are initially nonempty.
- * src/tail.c (tail_bytes): Set *read_pos to new file offset after
- each xlseek call.
- (tail_lines): Likewise, after lseek calls.
- Reported by Nick Estes. See http://bugs.debian.org/205251 for details.
- * tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: New file. Test for above fix.
- * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tail-n0f.

-
-2003-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- fold -s -wN would infloop for N < 8 with TABs in the input.
- E.g., this would not terminate: printf 'a\tb' | fold -w2 -s
- * src/fold.c (fold_file): Move contents of `else'-block
- out of conditional so it's used also for --spaces (-s).
- * tests/misc/fold: Test for the above fix.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fold.
-
-2003-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/nice.c [!NICE_PRIORITY]: Include <sys/resource.h> after
- system.h so the types from time.h and sys/time.h are available.
- It appears that this is necessary for OpenBSD, NetBSD, and
- Darwin 6.5 (MacOS 10.2.5). Reported by Nelson Beebe.
-
-2003-08-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * NEWS: Add support for setting file timestamps to microsecond
- resolution, on hosts that support this.

-
-2003-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

- For tests of obsolete behavior, don't presume that unsetting
- _POSIX2_VERSION is equivalent to _POSIX2_VERSION=199209.
-
-2003-08-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation):
- Add -d or --numeric-suffixes option to 'split'.
- From a suggestion by Jesse Kornblum.
- * src/split.c (suffix_alphabet): New var.
- (longopts, usage, next_file_name, main): Support -d.
- (next_file_name, main): Allow -a0, as POSIX requires.
- (next_file_name): Don't assume ASCII-like encoding;
- 'a' through 'z' are not contiguous in EBCDIC.
-
-2003-08-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- Merge getline from gnulib.
- * lib/getline.h, lib/getline.c, m4/getline.m4: Merge from gnulib.

- than rolling our own.
- * src/cut.c: Include getndelim2.h rather than getdelim2.h.
- (cut_fields): Invoke getndelim2 rather than getdelim2.
-
-2003-08-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/sort.c (main): Use unsigned int instead of int for `nsigs'
- and for the indices to iterate through nsigs.
-
-2003-08-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * src/sort.c: Minor code cleanups, mostly to use more accurate
- types and to remove unnecessary casts.
- (min, max): Remove. All uses changed to MIN and MAX.
- (hard_lc_collate, hard_LC_TIME, struct buffer.eof, struct
- keyfield.skipsblanks, struct keyfield.skipeblanks, struct
- keyfield.numeric, struct keyfield.general_numeric, struct
- keyfield.month, struct keyfield.reverse, reverse, unique,
- have_read_stdin): Now bool, not int. All uses changed.

- Return the number of blanks to trim. All uses changed.
- (getmonth): Use trailing_blanks rather than open code.
- (keycompare): Do not cast char * to unsigned char *; not needed.
- CMP_WITH_IGNORE converts args to UCHAR, so no need to convert it
- ourselves.
- (compare, main): Use | rather than || to avoid jumps.
- Replace "diff = NONZERO (alen)" with "diff = 1", since alen must
- be nonzero there.
- (check, first_same_file, sort, main):
- Use bool instead of int local vars when possible.
- (check): Merge the old 'checkfp' and 'check' into a single function,
- that returns a boolean (true if the file was ordered).

- (main): Use int instead of unsigned for iterating through nsigs.
- Rename local var "posix_pedantic" to "posixly_correct".
-
-2003-08-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/nice.c [!NICE_PRIORITY]: Include <time.h> before <sys/resource.h>
- to avoid compilation error on Ultrix. Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
-
- * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Don't read again after encountering an
- initial EOF. E.g., `cut -f2' would do so.
- * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add a test for the above fix.
-

- it's now %d not %_d. Add URLs.
-
-2003-08-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/shred/remove: Ensure that $? is 0 for the final `exit 0'.
- Otherwise, with at least the /bin/sh from HPUX 10.20,
- the trap code would end up converting that to exit 1 and thus an
- unexpected test failure. Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
-
-2003-07-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * src/ptx.c: Do not include bumpalloc.h.
- (WORD_TABLE): New member alloc.
- (ALLOC_NEW_WORD): Remove.

-
- * Version 5.0.90.
-
- * README: When running tests as root, suggest using

- $(srcdir)/../src.
-
-2003-07-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (GZIP_ENV): Try Debian/gzip's new --rsyncable option.
-
-2003-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * lib/stdbool.hin (_Bool): Make it signed char, instead of
- an enum type, so that it's guaranteed to promote to int.
- * src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Undo previous change.
-
-2003-07-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Declare local `swap' to be `int', not
- `bool'. Otherwise, at least one buggy compiler (alpha gcc-2.95.4)
- would cause lines[-1 - swap] (with swap = false) to evaluate to
- lines[4294967295].
-
-2003-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/priv-check (my_uid): Use `!', not `^' in case pattern `[!0-9]',
- since /bin/sh of at least NetBSD 1.6 and OpenBSD 3.2 don't accept `^'.

- directories, as required by POSIX. Reported by Karl Berry.
- * tests/rm/dir-no-w: New file. Test for the above fix.
- * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-no-w.
-
- * tests/mk-script: Emit `$xx', not its expansion.
-
-2003-07-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- This change was inspired by a similar proposal by Stepan Kasal.
- * src/sort.c (mergelines, sortlines_temp): New functions.
- (sortlines): Use them, to reduce the number of times that
- we need to copy 'struct line' values. This improved CPU
- performance by about 30% on one 18 MB test.
- (sort): Don't invoke sortlines unless we have 2 or more lines.
-
-2003-07-26 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
-
- * src/sort.c (sort): Don't require two `struct line's per text line,
- the new sort algorithm requires just 1.5.
-
-2003-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/pathchk.c (validate_path): Use %lu, not %ld.
- From Paul Eggert.

- * src/ls.c (sort_files): Put `volatile' in the right place.
- From Paul Eggert.
-
-2003-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Use only one bit per field/offset in array, not one `int'.
- * src/cut.c (printable_field): Change type to `unsigned char'.
- (mark_printable_field, is_printable_field): New functions.
- Use them in place of all direct accesses of `printable_field'.
-
- * src/expand.c (parse_tabstops): Detect overflow properly.
- * src/cut.c (set_fields): Likewise.
-
- * src/rm.c: Include "dirname.h".
- (usage): Use base_name (program_name) in body of --help output.
- This lets me...
- * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): ...back out the kludge of 2003-07-22.
- Idea from Brendan O'Dea, who suggested using
- `program_name = basename (argv[0]);' everywhere --
- can't do that, but using base_name works just fine here.
-
- * src/Makefile.am (AM_INSTALLCHECK_STD_OPTIONS_EXEMPT): Exempt test.
-
-2003-07-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- Fix some POSIX-compliance problems with 'test'. This makes
- 'test' more compatible with Bash.
-
- * NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi: Document the following.
- * src/test.c: Include exitfail.h.
- (TEST_FAILURE): New constant, used for exit status if 'test' fails.
- (test-syntax_error): Use it.
- (binary_operator): Now takes bool arg specifying whether left operand
- is -l ARG, so that caller determines this rather than us.
- All uses changed.
- (term): Use posixtest to evaluate parenthesized subexpressions.
- (unary_operator, one_argument): Remove support for -t without operand.
- (one_argument): Take argument from argv[pos].
- (one_argument, two_arguments, three_arguments): Advance pos.
- All callers changed.
- (three_arguments): Look for binary ops before "!". Then look
- for parenthesized one_argument expressions, instead of trusting
- expr () to do the right thing.
- (posixtest): Now takes number of args. All callers changed.
- Treat "( A B )" like "A B".
- (main): Set exit_failure to TEST_FAILURE. Don't depend on
- POSIXLY_CORRECT, as we now conform to POSIX by default.
- (main) [!LBRACKET]: Do not recognize "--help" or "--verbose" unless.
- * tests/test/Test.pm (test_vector): Add several tests to check
- the above. Syntax errors now exit with status 2, not 1.
- * man/Makefile.am (mapped_name): Use `../src/[' binary to create test.1.
-
-2003-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/help-version: Adjust for above change in test behavior:
- `[' exits with 2, not 1, and test doesn't accept --help or --version.
-
- * Makefile.maint (ME): Don't use trick suggested in Make manual.
- It doesn't work for make-3.79.1. Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
-
- * Makefile.maint (sc_system_h_headers): Another syntax check.
- (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
-
- * src/pathchk.c (validate_path): Cast strlen value to `unsigned long'
- so it matches `%ld' format even on 32-bit systems.
-
- * src/fmt.c (flush_paragraph): Cast field width to `int' to
- avoid warning on 64-bit systems.
-
- * src/ls.c (sort_files): Make `func' volatile, so it can't be
- clobbered by a `longjmp' into this function.
-
-2003-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/pathchk.c (validate_path): Use %ld format (not %d) for size_t
- value.
-
- * tests/misc/split-fail: Disable the --line-bytes=$_4gb test,
- because it'd evoke spurious failure on 64-bit systems.
-
-2003-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/dd.c (usage): Document the fact that SIGUSR1 makes dd
- output its current record counts. Reported by Jurriaan.
-
- * tests/wc/Test.pm (test_vector): Disable the `PIPE' tests when running
- `wc' with no options. This goes along with the change of 2003-07-20.

- * src/wc.c (wc): Fix typo in computation of file from file_x,
- which caused the former to be used uninitialized if file_x was
- nonzero.
-
-2003-07-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/cut.c (set_fields): Use xcalloc in place of xmalloc+memset.
-
- * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Substitute 's,$t/$*,$*,' on output of
- help2man, to avoid having `rm.td/rm' appear in rm.1. Reported by
- Thomas Luzat. See http://bugs.debian.org/202413 for details.
-
- * src/cut.c (main) [lint]: Initialize spec_list_string to avoid warning.
-
- * src/hostid.c: Don't include <unistd.h>. system.h already does that.
-
- * src/cut.c (set_fields): Mark all selected indices before trying to
- determine range endpoints.
- * tests/cut/Test.pm: New test for the above fix.
-
- Begin to address this comment: What if someone wants to
- extract the 1,000,000-th field of some huge input file?
- The first step is to rearrange things so that the values
- in the printable_field array are all 0/1 rather than 0/1/2.
- * src/cut.c (RANGE_START_SENTINEL): Remove.
- Store range-start indices in a hash table, rather than
- overloading the `printable_field' array.
- (range_start_ht): New global.
- (hash_int, hash_compare_ints, is_range_start_index): New functions.
- (print_kth): Use is_range_start_index; don't test printable_field.
- (set_fields): Detect overflow.
- (set_fields): Insert each range-start index into range_start_ht.
- (main): Call set_fields only once, and only after
- output_delimiter_specified and (if required) range_start_ht have
- been defined.
-
-2003-07-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * src/wc.c (get_input_fstatus): Fix typo: `stat' was being
- invoked with a null pointer when there were no file arguments.
-
-2003-07-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (sc_changelog): Add another nit-picky check.
-
- * src/wc.c (write_counts): Add a comment.
- (wc): Rename `file' parameter.
- Set new local, `file', to be the file name, or (when it's NULL)
- _("standard output") so that all uses of `file' use the proper value.
- Use STREQ, not strcmp.
-
-2003-07-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- wc count field widths now are heuristically adjusted depending
- on the input size, if known. If only one count is printed, it
- is guaranteed to be printed without leading spaces.
-
- Previously, wc did not align the count fields if
- POSIXLY_CORRECT was set, but POSIX did not actually require
- this undesirable behavior, so it has been removed.
-
- * NEWS: Document this.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Likewise.
-
- * src/wc.c (number_width): New var.
- (posixly_correct): Remove.
- (struct fstatus): New struct.
- (write_counts): Output fields of width number_width.
- Do not worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT.
- Use null file, not empty-string file, to denote stdin,
- since "" is a valid file name on some hosts.
- (wc, wc_file): New arg fstatus. Use it to avoid invoking fstat
- if possible.
- (wc): Avoid problems if end_pos - current_pos overflows.
- Do not print odd message if stdin has a read error.
- (get_input_fstatus, compute_number_width): New functions.
- (main): Use them to implement the new behavior.
- Ignore POSIXLY_CORRECT.
-
- * tests/wc/Test.pm: Adjust to the new output widths.
-
-2003-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Don't create temporary directory --
- we don't use it.
-
- * tests/shred/remove: Don't open-code test for UID != 0.
- Use priv-check's require-non-root instead.
- Update to use newer framework.
-
- * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_expr): Record that
- expr exits with status of 3 for e.g., a write error.
-
- * tests/priv-check: Use `id -u' to see if we're running as root,
- rather than trying go write to an write-protected file.
- When running as root, ensure $NON_ROOT_USERNAME is valid.
- When running as root with `require-non-root', ensure that `.'
- is writable by $NON_ROOT_USERNAME, then reinvoke $0 set-user-ID
- to $NON_ROOT_USERNAME. If `.' is not writable, then skip the test.
-
- * src/printenv.c: Include "exitfail.h".
- (main): Set exit_failure rather than calling close_stdout_set_status.
- * src/date.c: Likewise.
- * src/sort.c: Likewise.
- * src/tty.c: Likewise.
-
-2003-07-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/touch/not-owner: Update to use newer framework.
-
- * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use $srcdir/../priv-check, create a temporary
- directory, and remove Perl-coded `you may not run as root' test.
- * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use $srcdir/../priv-check, rather than
- hard-coding something not quite equivalent.
- Paul Jarc reported the inconsistent diagnostics.
-
- * src/sort.c (main): Use close_stdout via atexit.
- Now `sort --version' and `sort --help' fail, as they should
- when their output is redirected to /dev/full.
-
- * src/su.c (usage): Don't call close_stdout here.
- (main): Use close_stdout via atexit.
- Now `su --version > /dev/full' fails, as it should.
- Somehow, the change of 2000-05-07 that purports to fix this
- was not checked in.
-
- * tests/help-version (--help/--version vs. /dev/full): Special-case
- `[' to protect it from expected_failure_status-`eval'.
-
- * src/uniq.c (writeline): Use a SPACE, not a TAB between the
- count and the corresponding line, as required by POSIX.
- Reported by Clement Wang.
- * tests/uniq/Test.pm (101, 102): Update tests of -c accordingly.
-
- * tests/expr/basic: Add tests for when exit status is 2.
-
- * src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE, NOHUP_FAILURE):
- Use an anonymous `enum', rather than #define.
-
-2003-07-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * src/expr.c: Include "exitfail.h", "quotearg.h".
- (EXPR_INVALID, EXPR_ERROR): New constants.
- (nomoreargs, null, toarith, nextarg): Return bool, not int.
- (syntax_error): New function, exiting with status 2. Use it
- insteading of printing "syntax error" ourselves.
- (main): Initialize exit_failure to EXPR_ERROR.
- Exit with EXPR_INVALID on syntax error (too few arguments).
- (nextarg): Use strcmp, not strcoll; strcoll might return
- an undesirable 0, or might fail.
- (docolon, eval4, eval3): Exit with status 3 on invalid argument type
- or other such error.
- (eval2): Report an error if strcoll fails in a string comparison.
- * src/sort.c: Include "exitfail.h".
- (main): Set exit_failure, not xalloc_exit_failure and
- xmemcoll_exit_failure.
- * tests/expr/basic: Invalid value exits with status 3, not 2.
-
-2003-07-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Use 5.0.90 as the version, rather than 5.0.2,
- per GNU maintainer guidelines. The next non-beta release will be 5.1.
-
- This script would have caught at least two recent bugs:
- those in [ and kill.
- * tests/help-version: Revive this script.
- It wasn't doing anything useful, since $all_programs wasn't being
- defined by the invoking Makefile.am.
- Reflect that nohup is no longer a script, so don't exclude it.
- Add framework to handle the programs added since it was last run:
- kill, stat, unlink, [, link, readlink.
- Fix path-related problems deriving from the move of this script
- from src/ to its present location.
- * tests/Makefile.am (all_programs): Define.
- (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use it.
-
- * src/kill.c (main): Fix bug introduced on 2003-05-10 (for 5.0.1)
- whereby kill would always attempt to operate on argv[0] and fail.
-
- * src/test.c (integer_expected_error): Improve diagnostic -- now,
- it also matches the one from bash's builtin test.
- (binary_operator): Add \n at end of diagnostic.
-
- * tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Remove setuidgid-related code. Move it to ...
- * tests/priv-check: Move setuidgid-related and
- NON_ROOT_USERNAME-checking code to this file.
-
- * README: Update section on testing as `root'.
- Suggestion from Paul Jarc.
-
- * src/test.c (AUTHORS): Replace 3-letter usernames with the actual
- names of authors that I just found in bash's builtins/test.def.
-
- Running `[' with no arguments would evoke a segfault.
- * src/test.c (main) [LBRACKET]: Move initialization of argv to
- precede potential use via test_syntax_error.
-
- * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Rename from `INCLUDES', to avoid
- warning from automake -Wall.
-
-2003-07-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Version 5.0.1.
-
- * Makefile.maint (%.asc): Remove target first, so gpg doesn't
- prompt us about it.
-
- * announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): Relax tests for matching
- version-number line in NEWS.
- Change the .sig suffix to .asc here, too.
-
-2003-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (%.asc): Renamed from %.sig.
- Generate and use ascii-armored signatures.
- Use gpg's -o option.
-
-2003-07-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FAILURE, NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE): Define.
- (main): Use them.
-
- * Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Move each individual check into
- its own target.
- (syntax-check-rules): This is the list of syntax-check targets.
- (sc_unmarked_diagnostics, sc_cast_of_argument_to_free):
- (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value, sc_space_tab):
- (sc_error_exit_success, sc_xalloc_h_in_src): New targets.
-
-2003-07-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * configure.ac: Remove uses of OPTIONAL_BIN_ZCRIPTS and last
- traces of the nohup script.
-
- * src/Makefile.am (bin_SCRIPTS): Remove use of just-removed
- $(OPTIONAL_BIN_ZCRIPTS).
-
- * src/Makefile.am (localedir.h): Put the `2>&1' after the redirect
- target, not before the `>'.
-
- * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Give a diagnostic upon failed save_cwd,
- now that that function no longer calls `error'.
-
- * src/df.c (find_mount_point): Emit a diagnostic for each
- failed syscall, rather than relying on caller to do that.
- The caller couldn't do a good job, anyhow -- too many different
- ways to fail (each with a different referent).
- Give a diagnostic upon failed save_cwd, now that that function
- no longer calls `error'.
- (show_point): Don't diagnose find_mount_point's errors, now that
- it handles them itself.
-
- * src/df.c (find_mount_point): Don't let free clobber errno upon
- failed chdir.
-
- * src/sys2.h: Remove alloca-related block.
- * src/system.h: Include <alloca.h> here, instead.
-
- It appears that the `#pragma alloca' included via "system.h" is
- adequate, since join.c uses alloca, yet lacked an in-file #pragma.
- * src/copy.c, src/cp.c, src/df.c, src/install.c, src/ln.c:
- * src/ls.c, src/mv.c, src/remove.c: Remove `#pragma alloca'.
-
- * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Do not restore any special
- permission bits (e.g., set-user-ID, set-group-ID) that are reset
- by chown(2) on some systems. Suggestion and insistence :-) from
- Michael Stone.
-
- * tests/input-tty: Also check `test -t 1'.
- This is necessary on linux-2.4.21. Otherwise, the stty/basic-1
- test would block when run in the background.
-
-2003-07-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/sample-test: Also fail if cat-to-create-expected-output
- fails. Otherwise, if both `exp' and `out' were to end up empty
- because of e.g., a full disk, they would mistakenly compare equal.
-
- * src/nohup.c: New file. Rewrite of nohup.sh in C.
- This solves a portability problem: on at least Solaris systems,
- when nohup.sh used the vendor /bin/sh, it would exit with status
- of `1' rather than the required 126 or 127 upon failure to exec
- the specified program.
-
- * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_SCRIPTS): Remove definition.
- (bin_PROGRAMS): Add nohup.
- (EXTRA_DIST): Remove nohup.sh.
- (all_programs): Remove use of $(EXTRA_SCRIPTS).
- * src/nohup.sh: Remove file.
- * man/Makefile.am (nohup.1): Depend on nohup.c, rather than nohup.sh.
-
- * tests/misc/nohup: Tests for the above.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nohup.
-
- * src/head.c (diagnose_copy_fd_failure): New function, renamed from
- the macro, COPY_FD_DIAGNOSE.
- (diagnose_copy_fd_failure): Enclose diagnostic in _(...).
- (head_file): Likewise.
-
- * src/date.c: Include "quote.h".
- (batch_convert): Use the quote function rather than using literal `...'
- in a diagnostic.
-
- * src/setuidgid.c (main): Enclose diagnostic in _(...).
- * src/fmt.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/tac.c (tac_seekable): Likewise.
- * src/yes.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/od.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/install.c (change_attributes): Likewise.
-
-2003-07-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/head.c (usage): Use 1024*1024 in place of 1048576.
- * src/tail.c (usage): Likewise.
-
- * tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Now that we have setuidgid, use it in
- place of the kludge in this test. Suggestion from Paul Jarc.
-
- * src/Makefile.am (noinst_PROGRAMS): Define to setuidgid.
- * src/setuidgid.c: New program, solely for testing (not installed).
-
- * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't leak file descriptors
- when dereferencing symlinks.
-
-2003-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/slash: New file/test for today's lib/ftw.c fix.
- * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add slash
-
- * src/tail.c (xlseek): Avoid warning about ``return without value
- from function returning non-void''.
-
-2003-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * man/help2man: Update to version 1.29.
-
- * man/help2man: Add END handler to close STDOUT and check for errors.
-
-2003-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- Add support for a "[" that conforms to the GNU coding standards,
- i.e., that does not depend on its name.
- * src/lbracket.c: New file.
- * README: Add "[".
- * man/Makefile.am (programs): Ignore "[", since it doesn't have
- a separate man page.
- * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add "[".
- (__SOURCES): New var.
- * src/test.c (LBRACKET): Define to 0 if not defined.
- (main): Use LBRACKET rather than argv[0].
-
- * src/test.c (one_argument): Do not check for -t if POSIXLY_CORRECT.
- Reported by Paul Jarc and Dan Jacobson.
-
- * src/test.c (main): Do not recognize --help or --version if
- POSIXLY_CORRECT, when invoked as "test". Handle "[ ]" correctly.
- Do not bother testing that margv[margc] is non-null.
-
-2003-07-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/who.c (print_line): Rewrite to use asprintf, in order to be
- able to avoid emitting trailing spaces. Reported by Dan Jacobson.
-
- * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Add tests of head's new --lines=-N
- option, and perform the +1600 invocations of head IFF the envvar
- RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS is set.
-
-2003-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/cp.c (do_copy): Give a better diagnostic when failing due
- to nonexistent destination directory. Reported by Dmitry Rutsky.
- See http://bugs.debian.org/199730 for details.
-
-2003-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- split's --verbose option did nothing [broken in 4.5.10 and 5.0]
- * src/split.c (longopts): Use `1', not `0' as the value for
- for &verbose. Reported by Keith Thompson.
-
- Test for the above fix.
- * tests/misc/split-a: Also use --verbose and compare stderr
- output with what we'd expect.
-
-2003-06-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
- Use `error_t' (rather than int) as type for local `err'.
- From Alfred M. Szmidt.

-2003-06-19 Marcus Brinkmann <marcus@gnu.org>
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:

- (do_link): Don't warn about hard link to symlink.
-
-2003-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/cut.c: Include "getdelim2.h", not "getstr.h".
- Reflect renaming: getstr -> getdelim2.
-
- * src/comm.c, src/join.c, src/nl.c, src/uniq.c: Reflect renaming:
- readline -> readlinebuffer.
-
-2003-06-09 John David Anglin <dave.anglin@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca>
-
- * src/readlink.c: Include <sys/types.h> before system.h (because
- the latter includes <sys/stat.h>). Required on Ultrix 4.3.
-
-2003-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/system.h (initialize_main): Define.
- Use it in every `main'. Applied via this:
- p='initialize_main (&argc, &argv);'
- perl -ni -e '/program_name.=.argv.0/ and print " '"$p"'\n"; print' \
- $(grep -l program_name.=.argv.0 *.c)
- test.c uses margc/margv, so I made the change manually for that file.
- Based on a patch from Bernard Giroud.
-
-2003-06-09 John David Anglin <dave.anglin@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca>
-
- Fix for build failure on Ultrix 4.3.

- them here instead, but with one change: define EISDIR to -1, not 0.
-
- * src/cat.c (cat): Remove `#ifndef ENOSYS', now that it's
- guaranteed to be defined.
- * src/system.h (ENOSYS, ENOTSUP): Define to -1 if not defined.

-
- * src/touch.c (touch): Call close only if necessary.
- From Bruno Haible.
-
- * src/wc.c (usage): Correct wording: wc prints counts in the order
- `newline, word, byte'. Reported by Keith M. Briggs.
- * man/wc.x: Fix it here, too. And change `lines' to `newlines'.
-
-2003-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/date/Test.pm: Add a test for the new format, e.g., May-23-2003.

- rule.
-
-2003-06-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-2003-06-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * src/system.h: Include <stdbool.h> unconditionally.
-
-2003-06-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- from check-programs-vs-1. Adjust rule to check for the
- primary (.x) file, not the generated one (.1).
-
-2003-06-03 Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>
-
- * man/kill.x: New file.
- * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add kill.1.

-2003-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Avoid unnecessary copying of environment.
- * src/env.c (main): Rather than clearing the environment and --
- unless told to ignore environment -- copying all settings from

- that is requested. Suggested by Jens Elkner.
-
-2003-06-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/system.h: Always include <string.h>, since we assume C89.

- accept the BSD format.
-
-2003-03-28 Joe Orton <jorton@redhat.com>

- BSD-style checksum files.
-
-2003-05-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe): Fix a thinko.

- out the common code used here and in tail.c.
-
-2003-05-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/head.c (usage): Document new feature: --bytes=-N and --lines=-N.
-
- * tests/du/slink: Skip this test if `.' is on an XFS file system.
-
- * tests/du/fd-leak: New file. Test for the bug in du that

- * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fd-leak.
-
- * src/head.c (AUTHORS): Enclose string in N_(...), now that it
- includes a translatable word, `and'.
-
- * src/dd.c (usage): Don't use `,' as the thousands separator
- in e.g. 1,000,000 and 1,048,576. Instead, do this:

-
- Fix uniq to conform to POSIX, which requires that "uniq -d -u"
- must output nothing. Problem reported by Josh Hyman.
-
- * src/uniq.c (enum output_mode, mode): Remove, replacing with:
- (output_unique, output_first_repeated, output_later_repeated):
- New vars. All uses of "mode" changed to use these variables,
- which are not mutually exclusive as "mode" was.
- (writeline): New arg "match", used to control whether to
- obey output_first_repeated or output_later_repeated.
- All callers changed.
- (check_file, main): Adjust to above changes.
-
- * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Test that 'uniq -d -u' outputs nothing.

- * src/readlink.c (main): Set program_name before first use.
- Remove that (redundant) first use.
- Don't exit successfully just because --verbose was specified.
- Pass 0, not EXIT_SUCCESS, as first argument to error; when that

-
- * src/uname.c (main): When failing due to too many arguments, also say
- that, rather than just "Try `uname --help' for more information.".

-
-2003-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-
-2003-05-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * src/remove.c (HAVE_WORKING_READDIR): Define to 0 if not defined.
- (IF_READDIR_NEEDS_REWINDDIR): Remove.
- (remove_cwd_entries): Rewrite to avoid IF_READDIR_NEEDS_REWINDDIR,
- which was a bit weird because it couldn't be emulated by a function.
-
-2003-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Extend head to accept --lines=-N (--bytes=-N) and to print all
- but the N lines (bytes) at the end of the file.
- * src/head.c: Include full-write.h, full-read.h, inttostr.h, quote.h.
- Use quote() in diagnostics, rather than literal `' marks.

- Handle negative line and byte counts.
- * tests/head/Test.pm: Add lots of tests to exercise --bytes=-N.
-
- * tests/du/8gb: Skip test if the file system of `.' doesn't support
- sparse files -- otherwise it'd create a file of size 8GB.
-
-2003-05-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/fmt.c (usage): Don't mention obsolescent -WIDTH option.

- [! HAVE_WORKING_READDIR] (remove_cwd_entries): If readdir has just
- returned NULL and there has been at least one successful unlink or

- rewinddir and reiterate the loop.
-
- Factor out common code.
- * src/remove.c (readdir_ignoring_dotdirs): New function.
- (is_empty_dir): Use it here.
- (remove_cwd_entries): Use it here.
-
-2003-05-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/rm/r-3: Create 500 rather than just 300 files.
- There's a bug in Darwin6.5's readdir that shows up only with
- 338 or more files.
- Fix a bug in this test: `cd $pwd' (not to `..'), now that $tmp
- has two components.
-
- * src/tail.c:
- Change type of n_units, n_bytes, n_lines to be `uintmax_t'.
- (dump_remainder): Move two declarations `down' into the scope
- where they are used.
- (xlseek): Return the resulting offset.
- (file_lines): Rename parameter, file_length, to end_pos.
- (pipe_lines): Don't coerce safe_read return value to `int'.
- Adapt tests accordingly.
- (pipe_bytes) [struct charbuffer] (nbytes): Change type from `int'
- to `unsigned int'.
- Change type of `total_bytes' from `int' to `size_t',
- since the former wouldn't always be wide enough.
- Don't coerce safe_read return value to `int',
- and adapt tests accordingly.
- Now that testing for a read error no longer involves
- using `tmp', handle that case *after* freeing `tmp'.

- (tail_bytes): Now that `n_bytes' may be larger than
- OFF_T_MAX, test for that condition and, if it's true, don't
- use lseek optimizations.
- (parse_options): Don't fail just because N_UNITS is larger than
- the maximum size of a file -- tail may be applied to an input
- stream (e.g., a pipe) with more data than that.
-
- * Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Rename from alloc-check.
- Also check for SPACE-TAB sequences.
- Also check for malloc/calloc/realloc casts.

-
-2003-04-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- make the now-more-picky tsort fail.
-
-2003-04-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/tsort.c (tsort): Remove unnecessary test of have_read_stdin.
- (main): Minor syntactic clean-up.

- \0NNN in the %b operand.
- * src/printf.c (usage): Likewise.
- (print_esc): New arg OCTAL0 to specify whether \0NNN or \NNN
- is desired. All uses changed. Behave like Bash printf if %b

-2003-04-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Giving nl an invalid STYLE argument (in --header-numbering=STYLE (-h),
- --body-numbering=STYLE (-b), or --footer-numbering=STYLE (-f)) or
- FORMAT (--number-format=FORMAT (-n)) would not give a useful diagnostic.
- * src/nl.c (main): Fix those problems and remove literal quote marks
- (e.g., "`%s'") from format string; instead use "%s" in each format
- string and `quote (optarg)' as the corresponding argument.
- Also, diagnose all invalid command line options before failing.
-
- * src/nl.c (proc_text): Fix a bug that would make nl output extra
- newlines in some cases. Details here: http://bugs.debian.org/177256.
- This bug was introduced on 2001-11-10 for textutils-2.0.17.
- * tests/misc/nl: Add test for the above-fixed bug.

- retain alignment) each sequence of spaces before a TAB character.
-
- * src/ls.c: Include <stdlib.h> unconditionally.
-
- * Makefile.maint (xalloc-check): Rename from header-check.

- * src/tr.c: * src/unexpand.c, src/users.c:
- Remove anachronistic casts of xmalloc, xrealloc, and xcalloc
- return values and of xrealloc's first argument.
- Fix the former with this:
- perl -pi -e 's/\([^(]*?\*\) *(x(m|c|re)alloc)\b/$1/'
-
-2003-04-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/stty.c (wrapf): Declare with format attribute.
-
- The S_MAGIC_... names shouldn't be maintained in two places (prior
- to this change, one would have to keep stat.c and fs.h in sync).
- This change makes it so those names and the corresponding
- hexadecimal constants all reside in stat.c. fs.h is now generated.
- * src/Makefile.am (fs.h): New rule to generate fs.h from stat.c.
- (BUILT_SOURCES): Add fs.h, now that it's generated.
- (EXTRA_DIST): Add extract-magic.
- * src/extract-magic: New script to extract fs.h definitions from stat.c.
- * src/stat.c (human_fstype) [__linux__]: Append each hex constant from
- fs.h in a comment after the corresponding `case S_MAGIC_...:' statement.
-
- * tests/tail-2/big-4gb: Skip this test (don't fail) if creating a
- file with nominal length > 4GB fails. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
-
- * man/unexpand.x: Add `SEE ALSO' reference to expand.
- * man/expand.x: Add `SEE ALSO' reference to unexpand.
- Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.

-
-2003-04-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- * src/split.c (line_bytes_split): Arg is of type size_t, since
- that's all that is supported for now.
- (main): Check for overflow in obsolescent line count option.
-
-2003-04-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/misc/split-fail: Add a new test for the above fix.
-
- * src/split.c (bytes_split): Use size_t temporary (rather than
- uintmax_t original) in remaining computations. From Paul Eggert.
-
- Handle command line option arguments larger than 2^31.
- This allows e.g., splitting into files of size 2GB and larger,
- and running split --lines=N with N=2^31 or more.
- But for --line-bytes=N, the restriction that N <= SIZE_MAX
- remains (for now), due to the way it is implemented.
-
- * src/split.c: Include "inttostr.h".
- (bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split, main):
- Use uintmax_t, not size_t, for file sizes.
- (main): Give a better diagnostic for option arguments == 0.
- Use umaxtostr to print file sizes.
- Reported by Luke Hassell.
-
-2003-04-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/rm.c (usage): Mention that --directory (-d) works only
- on some systems. Suggestion from Samuel Tardieu.

-
-2003-04-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-
- * tests/rm/rm5: Add a comment explaining why this test fails when
- using Tru64's broken sed.
- * tests/rm/rm3: Likewise.

- * src/kill.c (sys_siglist): Also check for __sys_siglist.
- Patch by Tony Leneis.
- * configure.ac: Also check for declaration of __sys_siglist.
- Required for Tru64 4.0D, 4.0F, and 5.1.
- Reported by Tony Leneis.
-
-2003-04-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/Makefile.am (PERL): Remove unnecessary definition.
-
- Because of inappropriate (but POSIX-mandated) behavior of rename,
- `mv a b' would not remove `a' in some unusual cases. Work around
- this by unlinking `a' when necessary.
-
- * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Add an output parameter.
- Set it in the offending case.
- (copy_internal): When necessary, unlink SRC_PATH and inform caller.

- This happens when connecting to sparc-solaris5.7 via ssh from within
- emacs. Reported by Karl Berry.
-
- * tests/du/basic: Use seq, not `yes' to generate 4KB of data.
- Otherwise, on systems (DJGPP) that emulate pipes using files,

-2003-03-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- Fix buffer overrun problem reported by TAKAI Kousuke, along
- with some other POSIX incompatibilities.
-
- * src/printf.c (print_esc): Do not treat \x specially if
- POSIXLY_CORRECT. Avoid buffer overrun if the format ends
- in backslash. Treat incomplete escape sequences as strings

-
- * src/stat.c: Don't include <sys/sysmacros.h>.
- That is already done via system.h. Otherwise, the multiple
- inclusion would evoke redefinition warnings from Cray's /bin/cc,
- aka Cray Standard C Version 4.0.3 (057126) Mar 22 2003 22:02:28.
- (human_fstype): Factor some directives `up', out of this function.
- Cast away `const' to avoid error from Cray's /bin/cc.

- Do not require that a field width be specified.
- Do not fail when given a field width of `0'.
- Reported by Dan Jacobson.
- * tests/seq/basic: Add new tests for the above-fixed bug.
-
- * src/Makefile.am (all-local): Append $(EXEEXT) to use of `su'
- (install-root): Likewise.
- (install-exec-local): Likewise.
- Based on a patch from Richard Dawe.
-
-2003-03-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use $(LN_S) instead of 'ln -s',
- because the DJGPP 2.03 port of 'ln -s' doesn't work.
- Include $(EXEEXT) in program names.
- Since $(LN_S) may degenerate to `cp -p', be careful
- to invoke it from the destination directory.
- Mostly from Richard Dawe.
- * configure.ac: Use AC_PROG_LN_S.
-
- * tests/mv/part-symlink: Unset CDPATH. Otherwise, having the
- CDPATH shell variable set could cause this test to fail.
- Reported by Karl Berry.
-
-2003-03-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/fmt.c [struct Word] (paren, period, punct, final): Change the
- type of each member from bool <MEMBER>:1 to unsigned int <MEMBER>:1.
- AIX 5.1's xlc could not compile the former.
- Patch by Petter Reinholdtsen. Also reported by Mike Jetzer.
-
-2003-03-17 Richard Dawe <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>
-
- * configure.ac: Include $(EXEEXT) in OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS'
- program names, since automake only adds $(EXEEXT) to programs
- in its *_PROGRAMS.
-
-2003-03-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/remove.c (rm): Put two local variables in static storage,
- so they can't be clobbered by the potential longjmp.
-
-2003-03-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.cfg (gnu_rel_host): Fix code to match the comment
- so that a version number with a two-digit component can still count
- as an alpha release. Reported by Richard A Downing.
- (gnu_rel_host): Define in terms of $(RELEASE_TYPE) instead.
-
-2003-03-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ansi2knr.c: Remove no-longer-used file.
- * src/ansi2knr.1: Likewise.
-
- * Makefile.maint (prev_version_file): Don't use ?= for this particular
- assignment, since it causes trouble with old versions of GNU make
- (e.g. 3.76.1). The other uses of `?=' are inoffensive. Details here.
- http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-03/msg00028.html
- Patch from Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
-
- * Use patched automake-1.7.3. Regenerate Makefile.in files in
- subdirectories so that each includes a definition of ACLOCAL_M4.
-
- * announce-gen (main): Label the compressed source URLs.
-
- * Version 4.5.10.
-
- * tests/du/slink: Relax the test for the `local'ness of a file system,
- so that now it works also for tmpfs.
-
- * tests/du/hard-link: Transform output from first du, so that this
- test doesn't fail on file systems like tmpfs that order directory
- entries differently.
-
-2003-03-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/8gb: Work around what appears to be an NFS failure that
- would make this test fail on some systems.
-
-2003-03-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/basic: Make the test file exactly 4k bytes long.
-
- * src/split.c (longopts): Don't hard-code `2' here.
- Instead, just specify `&verbose', and ...
- (main): ... remove the `case 2:' block for --verbose.
-
- * tests/du/basic: Make the test file larger than 64 bytes, so that
- we don't immediately disqualify file systems (e.g., NetApp) on which
- smaller files take up zero disk blocks. Reported by Vin Shelton.
-
-2003-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Don't segfault for a negative field width or precision in format string.
- Note that this is just a stopgap fix. The longer term solution may
- involve adapting bash's builtins/printf.def.
-
- * src/printf.c: (UNSPECIFIED): Define.
- (print_direc): Use the special value, UNSPECIFIED, to indicate
- that field_width or precision has not been specified.
- (print_formatted): Fail if field_width or precision is the
- special value, UNSPECIFIED.
- Reported by Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
-
- * src/sys2.h (INT_MIN): Define, if necessary.
- * tests/misc/printf: Add a test for the above-fixed bug.
-
-2003-03-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/remove.c (AD_stack_pop): Cast sizeof... to int before
- changing its sign. This avoids a warning from gcc on 64-bit systems.
- Reported by Bob Proulx.
- (pop_dir): Reverse order of sign change and cast, to be consistent
- with the above.
-
-2003-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Check for POSIXLY_CORRECT not as a
- shell variable, but only in the environment. With /bin/sh->bash, the
- shell variable is set to `y', and that would cause a spurious warning.
- Reported by Bob Proulx.
-
- * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Remove touch/fifo.
- It doesn't appear to have to be run as root.
-
- * tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Rather than simply using the first non-root
- user name, make sure that the selected user name has a usable shell.
- Reported by Paul Jarc.
-
- Before, when using shred on a device, one had to specify --exact,
- or be careful to choose a size that would not be rounded up and
- exceed the maximum value; that could result in a failure of
- the final write.
- * src/shred.c (do_wipefd): --exact is now the default for non-regular
- files. Suggestion from Ben Elliston.
- (usage): Say it.
-
- * tests/misc/tty-eof: Require at least version 1.11 of Expect.pm.
- Old versions of Expect.pm (e.g., 1.07) lack the log_user function.
- Patch by Bob Proulx.
-
- * src/Makefile.am (check-misc): Check for use of `defined' in
- #define directives.
- Change to $(srcdir) before running grep.
-
- * src/sleep.c: Remove now-unused #include and #define directives.
-
- * src/du.c (process_file): If a file's size is not being counted
- e.g., because it's a hard link to a file we've already counted,
- then don't print a line for it.
-
- * tests/du/hard-link: New test for the above-fixed bug.
- * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-link.
-
- `du -S' didn't work
- * src/du.c: Revert most of the `reorganization' change of 2003-02-20,
- and make the two-array approach work.
-
- * tests/du/basic: Correct/add tests for the above fix.
- Set LC_ALL, etc., now that we use sort.
- Check the block/size of a small file, too.
- Correct expected results for simple dir1/dir2/file case.
- Add another test of du -S.
-
-2003-03-07 John David Anglin <dave.anglin@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca>
-
- Avoid build failure with gcc on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 (see GCC PR
- middle-end/9986). As one of GCC's optimizations, it transforms a
- fputs_unlocked call to a fputc_unlocked call when the string is
- one character long. However, hpux doesn't have fputc_unlocked.
-
- * expr.c (usage): Use putchar, not fputs, to output a single character.
- * ls.c (dired_dump_obstack): Likewise.
- * ptx.c (output_one_tex_line, output_one_dumb_line): Likewise.
- * stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
-
-2003-03-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/cp.c: Remove everything associated with mmap-stack.c.
- This reverts the two changes of 2003-02-21.
- * src/du.c: Remove everything associated with mmap-stack.c.
- This reverts the change of 2003-02-19.
-
-2003-03-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/cp/same-file: Unset CDPATH. Otherwise, having the
- CDPATH shell variable set could cause this test to fail.
- Reported by Karl Berry.
-
-2003-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Version 4.5.9.
-
- * src/printf.c (print_esc): Remove pointless comparison of unsigned
- integer with zero, to avoid a warning from Intel's ecc.
- Reported by Nelson Beebe.
-
- * src/du.c (process_file): Sizes must all be of type uintmax_t.
- Otherwise, for files or totals that are too big, numbers would
- be truncated. Patch mostly by Michael Stone.
- Reported by Ingo Saitz as Debian bug #183210.
-
- * tests/du/8gb: New test for the above-fixed bug.
- * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add 8gb.
-
- * src/du.c (MAX_N_DESCRIPTORS): Use 3 * UTILS_OPEN_MAX / 4
- rather than UTILS_OPEN_MAX - 10.
-
-2003-03-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * README: Refer new feature discussion to bug-coreutils@gnu.org,
- rather than bug-gnu-utils, now that the former is better known.
- Suggestion from Göran Uddeborg.
-
- * src/stat.c (usage): Capitalize consistently.
- Reported by Göran Uddeborg.
-
- * Makefile.maint (rel-files): Include $(signatures), so that
- those files are also copied into $(release_archive_dir).
-
- * src/df.c (find_mount_point): Call error here, now that restore_cwd
- no longer does it.
- * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Likewise.
-
- * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add fail-2eperm.
-
-2003-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Include the full filename of
- the offending file, not just the basename.
-
- * tests/misc/tty-eof: Set $ME properly.
-
- * Makefile.maint (THIS_VERSION_REGEXP, PREV_VERSION_REGEXP):
- Remove now-unused variables.
- (tag-prev-version, prev-cvs-tag): Likewise.
-
- * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries) [!ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS]: Give an
- accurate diagnostic when failing to remove a file owned by some other
- user. Reported by Ivo Timmermans via Michael Stone.
- This fixes Debian bug# 178471.
-
- * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-2eperm.
- * tests/rm/fail-2eperm: New test, for the above-fixed bug.
- Based on a report from Ivo Timmermans.
-
-2003-03-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [un_backup]: When recovering from a
- failure to create a hard link, do not remove the entry associating
- the source dev/ino with the destination file name.
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-3.
- * tests/mv/hard-3: New test, for the above-fixed bug.
- Inspired by a report from Iida Yosiaki.
-
-2003-03-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/df.c (print_header): Don't embed spaces in a separate `Type'
- header string. Instead, put `Filesystem' and `Type' headers in the
- same string, so translators can use horizontal space as needed.
- Reported by Jean Charles Delepine.
-
-2003-02-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): When link fails because of an
- existing destination file, unlink that file and try again.
- Reported by Iida Yosiaki.
-
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-2.
- * tests/mv/hard-2: New test for the above-fixed bug.
- Based on a test case from Iida Yosiaki.
-
-2003-02-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/basic: Don't test du's -b option here. Directory byte
- counts are smaller (512 rather than 4096) on at least OSF/1 5.1
- and IBM AIX 4.2. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
-
-2003-02-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (announcement): Now that ChangeLog entries
- are output by announce-gen, don't do it here.
- * announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): New function.
- (main): Use it.
-
-2003-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * announce-gen: New option: --release-type=TYPE
- * Makefile.maint (beta, major): New targets. Remove `release'.
- Put them all together on a line.
- Pass the release type (via RELEASE_TYPE envvar) to the MAKE
- invocation of `announcement'.
- (announcement): Invoke announce-gen with --release-type=$RELEASE_TYPE.
-
- * announce-gen: New option: --news=NEWS_FILE.
- Extract NEWS entries here, not via rules in Makefile.maint.
- * Makefile.maint (announcement): Now that NEWS entries are
- extracted by announce-gen, don't do it here.
- (news-r1, news-r2): Remove now-unused definitions.
-
-2003-02-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Version 4.5.8.
-
- Merge in changes from autoconf's version of this file.
- * Makefile.maint (www-gnu): Define.
- (standards.texi-url_prefix): Use $(www-gnu).
- (make-stds.texi-url_prefix): Likewise.
-
- * src/cp.c: Include "mmap-stack.h".
- (main): Invoke `run' through a macro that (when possible) runs it
- with a large, mmap'd stack.
-
- * src/cp.c (run): New function, preparing for the above.
- Exit from this function, not from main
- (main): Call run.
-
- * src/du.c: New option: --apparent-size.
- (enum) [APPARENT_SIZE_OPTION]: New member.
- (long_options): Add it.
- (usage): Describe it.
- (main): Handle it.
- ['b']: Set apparent_size.
- David Eisner reported that the behavior of --bytes had changed.
- Paul Eggert proposed the use of a new option, --apparent-size.
-
- * src/du.c (apparent_size): New global.
- (print_only_size): Reflect the fact that we're printing byte counts,
- not ST_NBLOCKSIZE-byte-block counts.
- (print_size): Call print_only_size rather than duplicating its code.
- (process_file): Accumulate byte counts, rather than block counts.
-
- * src/du.c (process_file): Always reset size_to_propagate_to_parent
- for --separate-dirs (-S).
-
-2003-02-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Use automake-1.7.3. Regenerate dependent files.
-
- * src/stat.c (print_stat): New format: %B (to print ST_NBLOCKSIZE).
- This makes %b (number of ST_NBLOCKSIZE-byte blocks) more useful.
- (usage) [%B]: Describe it.
- [%b]: Refer to %B.
-
- * src/du.c (process_file): Reorganize the code to use only
- one `sum' array, and change how -S works back to the way it was
- before 2003-01-31. Patch by Bruno Haible.
-
- * tests/du/basic: New test.
- * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add basic.
-
- * tests/envvar-check: Add checks for the following:
- BLOCK_SIZE, DU_BLOCK_SIZE, DF_BLOCK_SIZE, LS_BLOCK_SIZE.
-
- * tests/Makefile.am: Rename phony target envvar-check to evar-check
- so as not to conflict with the distributed file by the same name.
-
- * src/du.c (process_file): Set info->skip before any possible return.
-
- Report correct usage for directories, not 0.
- * src/du.c (process_file): Return for `file_type == FTW_DPRE'
- _before_ recording the dev/ino of a directory.
- Reported by Bruno Haible.
-
- Now, df always displays the device file name corresponding to the
- listed mount point under `Filesystem'. Before, for an unmounted
- block- or character-special file argument, it would display the
- command-line argument instead.
- * src/df.c (show_disk): Return a value indicating whether
- there was a match. Don't try to find a mount point here.
- (show_entry): If show_disk doesn't find a match, call show_point.
-
-2003-02-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/du.c: Include "mmap-stack.h".
- (du_files): Add prototype with ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
- Exit from this function, not from...
- (main): ...here.
- Instead, if possible, invoke du_files through a macro that
- runs it with a large, mmap'd stack.
-
- * src/join.c (usage): Change wording in --help output:
- use FILENUM instead of `SIDE' and say what FILENUM means.
- Reported by Bernhard Gabler.
-
- * src/df.c (print_header): Rather than using a hard-coded literal
- string of spaces matching the length of the English `...Type' header,
- output the right number of spaces to match the selected translation.
- Reported by Yann Dirson and Jean Charles Delepine as Debian bug 131113.
-
- * src/split.c (bytes_split): Remove unnecessary `else' after break.
- (lines_split): Likewise. and correct misleading indentation.
-
- * src/split.c: Include "full-read.h".
- (bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split): Use full_read,
- not safe_read. The way split was using the latter, a short read
- could cause split to terminate before EOF.
-
- * tests/misc/tty-eof: Test all programs that can read stdin,
- requiring no arguments and that write to standard output.
-
- * tests/misc/tty-eof: New file. Renamed from ...
- * tests/misc/cat-tty-eof: Remove file. Rename to tty-eof.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reflect renaming.
-
-2003-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- cksum would perform an extra read after encountering EOF
- * src/cksum.c (cksum): Exit the loop upon EOF, too.
- Patch by Michael Bacarella.
-
- Test for the bug fixed today in cksum, md5sum, and sha1sum.
- * tests/misc/cat-tty-eof: Generalize, clean-up, and test for
- cat, cksum, md5sum, and sha1sum all in the same loop.

-
-2003-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Remove unnecessary `const'
- in cast to avoid warning from icc. Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
-
-2003-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/test.c: Don't include group-member.h.
- Include euidaccess.h.
- (eaccess): Rewrite function to set the real uid and gid temporarily
- to the effective uid and gid, then invoke 'access', and then set the
- real uid and gid back. On systems that lack setreuid or setregid,
- fall back on the kludges in euidaccess. Before, it would not work
- for e.g., files with ACLs, files that were marked immutable,
- or on file systems mounted read-only. Nelson Beebe raised the issue.
- Paul Eggert suggested the new implementation.
-
-2003-02-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/test.c (test_stat): Remove function. It's job is done (only
- when necessary) by the wrapper in lib/stat.c. Adjust all uses.
-
-2003-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Version 4.5.7.

-
- `df /dev/block-or-char-device-file--not-mounted' now reports
- the name of the file system on which the file resides, usually `/'.
- Before, it would leave the `Mounted on' field blank.
- * src/df.c (show_disk): Move function to precede find_mount_point.
- (show_disk): Add parameter: STATP.
- If we don't find a matching device name, then resort to calling
- find_mount_point. Reported by Bob Proulx.

-
-2003-01-31 Richard Dawe <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>
-
- * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@ instead of

- (print_human_type): Remove function.
- (human_access): Rename from print_human_access. Return a string.
- (human_time): Rename from print_human_time. Return a string.
- (print_stat): Arrange so that field width and an alignment specifier
- are honored for the %A, %F, %x, %y, and %z formats.
- [%F]: Use file_type; this gives slightly different file type strings,
- e.g., `directory' instead of `Directory' and `regular file' or
- `regular empty file' instead of `Regular file'.
- Prompted by a report from Richard Dawe that the uses of
- S_IFSOCK and S_IFIFO in print_human_time were not portable
- to systems using e.g., DJGPP.
-
-2003-01-31 Richard Dawe <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>
-
- * src/stat.c (print_stat): Use S_ISLNK rather than an explicit
- test using S_IFMT and S_IFLNK. S_IFLNK may not be defined.
-
-2003-01-31 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/du.c (main): Upon processing an invalid option or an invalid
- --exclude-from or --max-depth option argument, don't exit right away,
- in case there are others. Rather record the failure and exit after
- processing other options.
-
- * GNUmakefile (TAR_OPTIONS): Set and export, in order to make
- tar archive easier to reproduce.
-
- Rewrite to perform directory traversal using nftw.
-
- * src/du.c: Include "dirname.h", "ftw.h", and "quotearg.h".

-2003-01-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ls.c (decode_switches): If `dired' is set without
- `format == long_format', then silently reset dired. This doesn't
- change the behavior of ls (all prior uses of dired were protected
- by `&& format == long_format'), and lets us...
- (DIRED_INDENT): ... remove the `format == long_format' conjunct.
- (PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS): Likewise.
- (main): Likewise.

-2003-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/remove.c (remove_entry) [ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS
- && HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: If a file has d_type == DT_UNKNOWN
- it may still be a directory -- or not (e.g., with FreeBSD on an
- NFS-mounted file system), so resort to calling lstat to find out.
- Based on a patch by Michael van Elst.
-
- * tests/cp/same-file: Don't assume that the file owner username
- length is less than 9 in ls output: instead, omit that field
- altogether. Reported by, and suggested fix from, Ferdinand.
-
-2003-01-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- * src/ls.c (Dereference_symlink) [DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR]:
- New member.
- (enum) [DEREFERENCE_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR_OPTION]: New member.
- (long_options): Add option --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
- (main): Make DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR be the default,
- rather than DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS, when none of the
- -d, -F, -l options is specified.
- (decode_switches): Handle --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
- (gobble_file): Honor DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR.
- Change --dereference-command-line (-H) to dereference *all*
- command line arguments, including broken symlinks.
-
-2003-01-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
-
- Change ls -H back to the way it was yesterday, since this is
- compatible with FreeBSD and the POSIX spec is confusing
- and somewhat contradictory.
-
- * src/ls.c (DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS): Change name back
- from DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR, updating all uses.
- (long_options): Change the long option name back.
- (usage): Change the usage back.
- (gobble_file): When -H is specified, dereference a top-level
- arg even if it points to a non-directory.
-
-2003-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fall back on using lstat when required:
- when --dereference (-L) is not specified, and
- - when operating on a dangling symlink
- - when operating on command-line-symlink-to-directories
- This fixes numerous problems. Here are examples:
- - `ls dangling-symlink' would fail with `no such file...'
- Now it prints `dangling-symlink'.
- - `ls -i symlink' would mistakenly print the inode of the referent.
- Now it prints the inode of the symlink. Likewise for --size (-s).
- Based on a patch from Michael Stone.
- Reported by Deepak Goel as Debian bug #173793.
-
- Rename ls's --dereference-command-line (-H)
- option to --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
- * src/ls.c [enum Dereference_symlink]
- (DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR): Rename from
- DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS. Update all uses.
- (long_options): Rename the long option.
- (usage): Say that --dereference-... changes how ls treats
- only symlinks to directories specified on the command line.

- thousands-separators) and for explicit size suffixes on output.
-
- * doc/coreutils.texi (Block size): Say that:
- This affects display format as well as block size.
- Fractional block counts are rounded up.
- ls file size blocksize defaults to 1.
- A block size spec preceded by ' generates thousands separators.
- A suffix without a preceding integer generates suffixes.
- (tail invocation): 32k -> 32 KiB.
- (What information is listed): ls -h is now equivalent to
- ls --block-size=human, and ls -H is now equivalent to
- ls --block-size=si. Displayed file size is now always affected by
- --block-size.

- that allows block sizes up to UINTMAX_MAX. All callers changed.
-
- * m4/prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_HUMAN): Check for locale.h, localeconv,
- AC_HEADER_STDBOOL. No need to check for limits.h since it's in
- freestanding C89. No need to check for stdlib.h or string.h since
- autoconf does this now.

- * src/du.c: Likewise.
- * src/ls.c: Likewise.
-
- * src/df.c (print_header): In the header line, prefer SI to human
- representation if it's shorter; if neither is shorter, try to
- intuit what the user would prefer.
-
- * src/expr.c (inttostr): Remove; use new imaxtostr library
- function instead.

- file sizes from other sizes.
- (decode_switches): Set it.
-
- * src/shred.c (OUTPUT_BLOCK_SIZE): remove.
- (dopass): When printing progress, use floor for what has been done

- Reported by Petter Reinholdtsen.
-
-2002-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- * tests/du/slink: New test for system.h change of 2002-08-31.
-
- In move mode, always first try to rename. Before, upon failure to
- rename a directory, this code would never attempt to rename any
- other file in that directory, but would thenceforth always copy.
- On some systems (e.g., NetApp's OnTap-6.4), renaming a directory
- may fail with EXDEV, yet renaming files within that directory to
- a newly-created destination directory succeeds.
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove local, move_mode;

- mkdir -p $(perl -e 'print "a/" x 40000') now works.
- * src/mkdir.c (main): For --parents (-p), call make_path with the
- entire directory name, so we don't ever require that file operations
- like stat or chmod be performed on the entire command line argument.
- * makepath.c (make_path): Restore umask *before* creating the final

-
- * src/Makefile.am (PERL): Remove duplicate definition.
-
- fmt's -s, -t, -c options didn't work properly for long lines.
- Since get_line may end up calling put_paragraph (for long lines),
- be sure to set global, `other_indent', before it is used there.
-
- * src/fmt.c (set_other_indent): New function, factored out of...
- (get_paragraph): ... here. Call it.
- (get_line): Call set_other_indent before calling flush_paragraph,
- which calls fmt_paragraph, which in turn calls put_paragraph,
- which uses other_indent.

- Some valid time stamps were being rejected (notably -1, and
- time stamps before 1900 on 64-bit hosts). And some invalid
- time stamps were being accepted, e.g. September 31.
-
- * src/date.c (main): Adjust to posixtime signature change.
- * src/touch.c (main): Likewise. Remove unnecessary initialization.
- Use localtime, not posixtm, to warn about obsolete "touch".

-
- * src/Makefile.am (check-README): New target/rule.
- (check): Depend on it.
-
- * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add old/Makefile and old/*/Makefile.

-
- * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add old.

-
- * NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi: uniq now obeys LC_COLLATE.
-
- * src/uniq.c: Include hard-locale.h, xmemcoll.h.
- (hard_LC_COLLATE): New var.
- (different): Args are now char *, not const char *.
- Use xmemcoll instead of memcmp to compare lines, so that
- LC_COLLATE has effect. However, use memcmp if it is an
- easy locale.
- (check_file): Do not include newline in comparison, so that
- xmemcoll has a byte to stomp on temporarily.
- (main): Set hard_LC_COLLATE.

-
- * Makefile.am (false.c): Convert only the final EXIT_SUCCESS
- into EXIT_FAILURE. Otherwise, false --help and false --version
- would fail.

-
- * src/Makefile.am (uninstall-local): Search for @GNU_PACKAGE@,
- rather than the hard-coded `sh-utils'.

- * configure.ac: Merge the three files from fileutils,
- textutils, and sh-utils.
