2016-11-22tests: fix false fails due to passing env vars to returns_Pádraig Brady
On BSD /bin/sh it was seen that unexported env vars passed to returns_() would not be propagated to the wrapped command. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_env_returns): Add a syntax check to disallow. * tests/misc/csplit-io-err.sh: Rearrange to export vars in a subshell. * tests/rm/rm-readdir-fail.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/nohup.sh: Export and unset vars around returns_. * tests/misc/printenv.sh: Likewise. Reported by Assaf Gordon
2016-11-22tests: fix recent tail-2 test regressionsPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/pipe-f.sh: Avoid issue with readable directories on BSD systems. * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Likewise. Reported by Assaf Gordon
2016-11-22ls: improve alignment of quoted namesPádraig Brady
This provides better alignment when some names are quoted, which also provides better indication that quotes are not part of the name. * src/ls.c (align_variable_outer_quotes): A new variable set when ls is aligning columns (not using -m, non-zero -w), and has a variable quoting style (shell, shell-escape, c-maybe). (quote_name_buf): Writes to buffer rather than FILE, taking care to avoid data copying if possible. Refactored from... (quote_name): ...here. This now manages the buffer passed to quote_name_buf() and outputs the padding, colors and name in the appropriate order, while managing the --dired offsets. (get_color_indicator): A new function to return the color sequence, refactored from... (print_color_indicator): ...here. This now simply outputs. (print_dir): Refactor common parts to quote_name(). (clear_files): Reset the flag indicating at least one file is quoted in the current directory. (needs_quoting): A new function to indicate at the scan stage whether a name needs quoting. Called from... (gobble_file): ...here, until we find the first quoted file. (print_name_with_quoting): Mostly refactored to quote_name(). * tests/ls/quote-align.sh: A new test for various output formats. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2016-11-22b2sum: a new checksum utility with md5sum like interfacePádraig Brady
Note we don't support the --algorithm option of the b2sum command in the external BLAKE2 project, as that was deemed too confusing for users. "BLAKE2b" was chosen as the default algorithm to use, which is single threaded but performs well on 64 bit. * src/blake2: CC0 source copied from external project. * cfg.mk[VC_LIST_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE_REGEX]: Exclude blake2/ from syntax checks, make update-copyright, etc. * src/local.mk: Reference the sources for b2sum, and set the compilation flags. * doc/coreutils.texi (b2sum invocation): Reference the md5sum invocation node, and add descriptions of -l. * tests/misc/b2sum.sh: Add new test. * tests/local.mk: Reference new test. * AUTHORS: Add new binary. * README: Likewise. * build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: Likewise. * man/.gitignore: Likewise. * scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Likewise. * man/b2sum.x: New man page template. * man/local.mk: Reference new template. * src/.gitignore: Ignore new binaries. * src/blake2/.gitignore: Ignore new build atrifacts. * src/md5sum.c (usage): Describe the new -l option. * NEWS: Mention the new program.
2016-11-22maint: avoid "make distcheck" failure due to excess .deps directoriesJim Meyering
* Makefile.am (my-distcheck): Remove all .deps directories before the recursive diff that searches for left-behind files. Otherwise, with automake master (some time after v1.15), "make distcheck" would fail due to those directories being left behind after "make distclean".
2016-11-19cp: improve status message when omitting directoriesPádraig Brady
* src/copy.h (cp_options): Add a new flag for install(1). * src/copy.c (copy_internal): For cp, also output remediation advice which also indicates why directories aren't copied by default. The message is unchanged for install(1). * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Init install_mode to false. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Init install_mode to true. * tests/install/basic-1.sh: Add a test case. * tests/cp/link-deref.sh: Adjust test case. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24958
2016-11-16tests: fix non portable date in recent testPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/date.pl: Years < 1900 fail on solaris at least. Reported by Assaf Gordon
2016-11-15tests: fix false failure on OS XPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/sort-h-thousands-sep.sh: The sv_SE locale may be available while sv_SE.utf8 is not. Therefore test and use the same locale, now definfed in a variable. Reported by Jim Meyering.
2016-11-15dircolors: highlight Motion JPEG multimedia filesAntonio Ospite
* src/dircolors.hin: Add .mjpg and .mjpeg multimedia files. This resolves http://bugs.gnu.org/24436.
2016-11-13tests: use "returns_" rather than explicit comparison with "$?"Jim Meyering
The previous "returns_"-using change failed to convert many uses of "$?". Convert all but two of the remaining ones. * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/head-write-error.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/nice.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/nohup.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/stdbuf.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/sync.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/pid.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait.sh: Likewise. Thanks to Bernhard Volker for spotting this.
2016-11-14all: reduce usage of proper_name_utf8()Pádraig Brady
This reduces a standard coreutils install size by about 160K. * src/cat.c: Change to proper_name() which removes about 18K text. * src/cp.c: Likewise. * src/df.c: Likewise. * src/du.c: Likewise. * src/getlimits.c: Likewise. * src/realpath.c: Likewise. * src/split.c: Likewise. * src/stdbuf.c: Likewise. * src/timeout.c: Likewise. * src/truncate.c: Likewise. * src/local.mk: Remove -llibiconv from the above programs. * cfg.mk (sc_check-AUTHORS): Adjust to use factor(1). * AUTHORS: Adjust to use ASCII to satisfy sc_check-AUTHORS.
2016-11-13maint: add 'returns_' to exclude list in sc_prohibit_and_fail_1Bernhard Voelker
The previous commit v8.25-96-g22063c8 lets 'make syntax-check' fail, because the above check falsely detects a case where 'returns_' is already in use. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_and_fail_1): Add 'returns_' to exclude list.
2016-11-13tests: use "returns_" rather than explicit comparison with "$?"Jim Meyering
* tests/chmod/no-x.sh: Likewise. * tests/cp/no-deref-link1.sh: Likewise. * tests/cp/no-deref-link2.sh: Likewise. * tests/cp/no-deref-link3.sh: Likewise. * tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing.sh: Likewise. * tests/ls/infloop.sh: Likewise. * tests/ls/stat-failed.sh: Likewise. * tests/ls/time-style-diag.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/env-null.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/env.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/nice-fail.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/printenv.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/timeout.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/follow-name.sh: Likewise.
2016-11-10tail: only retry file open if --retry specifedPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (tail_file): On failure to open a file, set ignore=true when --retry is not specified. * tests/tail-2/assert-2.sh: Adjust to the new behavior. * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add a test case. Also change from `tail ... && fail=1` to the more robust `returns_ 1 ...` construct which detects segfaults etc. * NEWS: Document the fix.
2016-11-09tail: ensure -f --retry 'missing' handles truncationPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (tail_forever): The BLOCKING optimization is only enabled for non regular files (which can't be truncated), so ensure we don't enable that unless we've a valid file descriptor. * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2016-11-09tail: avoid outputting repeated data with remote filesPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (tail_forever): Only read up to st_size on network file systems to avoid the issue with a stale attribute cache returning a smaller st_size than we have already read(). The was seen with glusterfs at least and caused the complete file to be repeatedly output due to assuming the file was truncated in this case. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2016-11-08tail: terminate when following pipes and untailable non pipesPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (ignore_pipe_or_fifo): Mark the descriptor as -1 for pipes so that any_live_files() detects correctly that the entry is no longer live. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24903 which was detected using Symbolic Execution techniques developed in the course of the SYMBIOSYS research project at COMSYS, RWTH Aachen University.

* doc/coreutils.texi(cut invocation): Give a more accurate description of cut field handling limitations. * tests/misc/stat-fmt.sh: Fix the test header to be more general. * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Spellings.
2016-11-07maint: refactor printing of backup suffix --helpPádraig Brady
* src/system.h (emit_backup_suffix_note): A new function to output the backup suffix info. The strings are unchanged, so translations are not impacted. * src/cp.c (usage): Use the new function. * src/ln.c (usage): Likewise. * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise. * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
2016-11-07maint: simplify handling of backup --suffix in various toolsRishabh Dave
* src/cp.c (main): Avoid the getenv("SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX") call, which is now done if needed in the gnulib backupfile module. Also avoid the redundant strdup, as we don't modify this suffix. * src/install.c (main): Likewise. * src/ln.c (main): Likewise. * src/mv.c (main): Likewise. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/23153
2016-11-07date: add %q to output the quarter of the yearPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (date invocation): Document %q. * src/date.c (usage): Likewise. * tests/misc/date.pl: Add a test case. * cfg.mk (sc_strftime_check): Adjust to allow %q. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2016-11-07all: update gnulib submodule to latestPádraig Brady
Incorporating these coreutils specific changes: backupfile: initialize default suffix within the implementation strftime,strptime: support %q to represent the quarter Also sync these copies with gnulib: * bootstrap: Now supports AIX. * gnulib: Update to the latest. * tests/init.sh: dash(1) is now disabled.
2016-11-05doc: clarify in texinfo that cut doesn't reorder fieldsPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Clarify the more sophisticated field processing supported by awk(1). Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24881
2016-11-05stat: make --format=%N honor the QUOTING_STYLE env varPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Describe the QUOTING_STYLE values now supported. * src/stat.c (getenv_quoting_style): A new function called from main, that sets the default quoting style for quotearg. (main): Call getenv_quoting_style() when %N specified. * tests/misc/stat-fmt.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/23422
2016-11-05doc: improve the --help description of ls -NPádraig Brady
* src/ls.c (usage): The existing description was inaccurate as -N does not directly impact whether control characters are displayed or not.
2016-11-04dd: warn about counts specified with confusing 0x prefixPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (parse_integer): Suggest to use "00x" instead of "0x", which is significant for the "count", "seek", and "skip" operands. * tests/dd/misc.sh: Add a test case. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24874
2016-10-26md5sum,sha*sum: fix --ignore-missing with checksums starting with 00Pádraig Brady
* NEWS: Mention the fix. * src/md5sum.c (digest_file): Add a new MISSING parameter to return whether the file was missing, separately from the digest. * tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Add a test case. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24795
2016-10-21doc: fix typo in stdbuf man pageBishop Bettini
* man/stdbuf.x: Correct spelling of immediately. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24763
2016-10-16maint: we use die; remove now-unnecessary uses of abortJim Meyering
* src/expr.c (integer_overflow): Remove an abort-after-die. * src/paste.c (write_error): Likewise. * src/sort.c (badfieldspec): Likewise. * src/tr.c (string2_extend): Likewise. Also remove a few break statements, each after an abort.
2016-10-16all: use die() rather than error(EXIT_FAILURE)Pádraig Brady
die() has the advantage of being apparent to the compiler that it doesn't return, which will avoid warnings in some cases, and possibly generate better code. * cfg.mk (sc_die_EXIT_FAILURE): A new syntax check rule to catch any new uses of error (CONSTANT, ...);
2016-10-15build: also distribute new file, src/die.hJim Meyering
* src/local.mk (noinst_HEADERS): Add die.h.
2016-10-15build: add die.h; avoid new warnings from GCC 7Jim Meyering
* src/die.h (die): New file/function from grep. Note: we expect this file to migrate to gnulib. * src/csplit.c: Include die.h. (check_format_conv_type): Use die in place of error-nonzero;break; * src/install.c (strip): Likewise. * src/nl.c (proc_text): Likewise. This also suppresses a new warning from GCC 7's -Werror=strict-overflow. * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise. * src/basename.c (main): Adjust "fall through" comment so that GCC 7's -Wimplicit-fallthrough honors it. * src/cp.c (main): Add a "fall through" comment. * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Likewise. (get_funky_string): Adjust a "fall through" comment so it is recognized. * cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_system_h_headers): Add die.h to this list of exempt src/*.h files.
2016-10-15maint: pr: avoid new GCC 7 warningJim Meyering
* src/pr.c (main): Avoid this warning from GCC 7: src/pr.c:1119:6: error: assuming signed overflow does not occur when \ simplifying conditional to constant [-Werror=strict-overflow] if (n_files == 0)
2016-10-15gnulib: update to latest and adapt printf-quote.sh testJim Meyering
* .gitignore: Add /lib/limits.h. * tests/misc/printf-quote.sh: Reflect that a single quote is now rendered as "'", rather than as ''\'''.
2016-10-04rm: disallow --n alias for --no-preserve-rootPádraig Brady
* src/rm.c (main): Ensure the full --no-preserve-root option is specified, rather than allowing --n etc. * tests/rm/r-root.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. Improved by Jim Meyering. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24604
2016-09-28tail: -F now always processes initially untailable filesPádraig Brady
which was not the case when inotify was not available. * src/tail.c (any_live_files): Simplify, since the IGNORE flag is now only set when a file should be ignored indefinitely. (recheck): Only output the "giving up on name" message when that's actually the case. Only set the IGNORE flag when ignoring a file indefinitely. (tail_file): Likewise. * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add a test case. Also run all existing test cases with and without inotify. NEWS: Mention the fix. THANKS.in: Add the reporter. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24495 which was detected using Symbolic Execution techniques developed in the course of the SYMBIOSYS research project at COMSYS, RWTH Aachen University.
2016-09-22who: avoid new warning from upcoming gcc-7Jim Meyering
* src/who.c (idle_string): This function would fail to compile with -Werror and today's built-from-git gcc due to this warning: src/who.c: In function 'print_user': src/who.c:201:36: error: may write format character ':' at offset 4 \ past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-length=] sprintf (idle_hhmm, "%02d:%02d", ^~~~~ The fix is to use an assertion to inform gcc of the existing invariant that guarantees the number of hours is less than 24.
2016-09-19ls: fix %%b format and precompute morePaul Eggert
The old code mishandled --time-spec='+%%b', as it misinterpreted the '%b' as being the month abbreviation. Also, it mishandled the extremely unlikely case of a month abbreviation containing '%'. The performance part of this patch sped up 'ls' by about 1% on my little benchmark of 'ls -lR' on the source directory in the en_US.UTF-8 locale (Fedora 24 x86-64). * NEWS: Document the bug fix. * src/ls.c (first_percent_b, abformat_init): New static functions. (ABFORMAT_SIZE): New constant. (use_abformat): New static var. (abmon, required_mon_width): Remove these static vars. (abmon_init): Now accepts a pointer to abmon, and returns a boolean. All callers changed. Reject month abbrs containing '%', as these would mess up strftime. Simplify mbsalign result checking, since (size_t) -1 exceeds ABFORMAT_SIZE. (abformat_init, align_nstrftime): Precompute all 24 formats at startup, rather than computing a format for each time stamp. (decode_switches): Call abformat_init instead of abmon_init. (align_nstrftime): Accept recentness bool instead of format. All callers changed. * tests/misc/time-style.sh: Test for format with '%%b'.
2016-09-11pinky,who: remove redeclarations of ttynameGeorge Burgess IV
Given that `ttyname` is already conditionally declared in src/system.h, other declarations are redundant and problematic for example in ChromeOS which has a new FORTIFY implementation that, as an artifact of how it's implemented, causes the compiler to complain if certain standard library functions are redeclared without special compiler-specific attributes. * src/pinky.c: Remove declaration (which was unused anyway). * src/who.c: Remove declaration. * src/system.h (getlogin, getuid, geteuid, getgrgid, getpwuid, ttyname): Add the parameter type to the declarations to avoid warnings when these backup declarations are used.
2016-09-09gnulib: update to latest, for getprogname fixesJim Meyering
Compiling in gnulib-tests/ would fail on some platforms due to a missing lib/assert.h. Reported by Assaf Gordon in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2016-09/msg00016.html
2016-09-09cp: use FICLONE instead of BTRFS_IOC_CLONEPaul Eggert
This doesn't affect the generated code on my system; it's merely a cleaner way to use the recently-introduced Linux-specific API. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Check for linux/fs.h. * src/copy.c: Include <linux.fs.h> if available. (FICLONE) [__linux__]: Define if not already defined. (clone_file): Use FICLONE instead of the older BTRFS_IOC_CLONE, as this ioctl is no longer btrfs-specific.
2016-09-08date: add '--debug' optionAssaf Gordon
Usage example: date --debug -d 'now + 3 days' Print parsing and debugging information to stderr when using date's -d/--date option. See: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2016-01/msg00076.html * src/date.c (main): Add '--debug' option, enable debugging in gnulib's parse-datetime.y module. * tests/misc/date.pl: Repeat tests with '--debug' enable, ensure no regression. * tests/misc/date-debug.sh: Test output of '--debug' option. * tests/local.mk: Add above test. * NEWS: Mention new option. * doc/coreutils.texi: Likewise.
2016-09-07sort: port to strict C + valgrindPaul Eggert
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add flexmember. * src/sort.c: Include flexmember.h. (struct tempnode): Make the last member flexible. (create_temp_file): Port to strict C11/C99 rules for allocation alignment with flexible array members.
2016-09-07build: update gnulib submodule to latestPaul Eggert
2016-09-07factor: reinstate immediate output with interactive usePádraig Brady
* src/factor.c (lbuf_putc): Only buffer more than a line when not using the tool interactively. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Fixes http://pad.lv/1620139
2016-09-07ls: allow interruption when reading slow directoriesKamil Dudka
Postpone installation of signal handlers until they're needed. That is right before the first escape sequence is printed. * src/ls.c (signal_setup): A new function refactored from main() to set and restore signal handlers. (main): Move signal handler setup to put_indicator() so that the default signal handling is untouched as long as possible. Adjusted condition for restoring signal handlers to reflect the change. (put_indicator): Install signal handlers if called for the very first time. It uses the same code that was in main() prior to this commit. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1365933 Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24232
2016-09-01doc: fix typo in date examplePádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (date invocation): Add a missing quotation mark. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24349
2016-08-31dircolors: recognize .zst and .tzst suffixesJim Meyering
* src/dircolors.hin: Add .zst and .tzst suffixes for the Zstandard/zstd compression tools. See http://zStd.net and https://code.facebook.com/posts/1658392934479273/
2016-08-30maint: tr: tweak/make-consistent a pair of loop indicesJim Meyering
* src/tr.c (unquote): Use indices of type "unsigned int", rather than a mix or "size_t" and "int", presuming that no command-line- specified string will have length longer than UINT_MAX.
2016-08-30tr: move decls "down"Jim Meyering
