Update caller. + Perform POSIX-mandated (for cp) open-with-O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC when + the regular destination file exists; upon failure, unlink + that existing file, then open again, but with O_WRONLY|O_CREAT. + (copy_internal): `force' in not related to interactive; remove + the conjunct. + Remove the entire `else if (x->force)' block; justifying + removal of the non-directory part is easy: POSIX requires we try + to open an existing regular file, so we can't unlink it beforehand. + The part that changes the mode on a directory to allow overwriting + isn't necessary. + + * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rename two goto labels. + (copy_internal): Set `new_dst' when the move_mode rename fails, + since we then unlink the destination file. + * src/cp.c (usage): --force is independent of --interactive. 2000-08-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com> |
