2004-05-17chgrp and chown now dereference symlinks by default, per POSIX.Jim Meyering
(chgrp invocation, chown invocation): Document it.
2004-05-16chown --dereference did nothing when the owner/group of aJim Meyering
symlink matched the desired owner/group. Reported by David Malone. Also reported in 1999 as http://bugs.debian.org/39642. (change_file_owner): When --dereference has been specified, and when processing a symlink, stat it to get the owner and group of the referent.

2004-05-16In shred, check for errors from fdatasync more carefully. IfJim Meyering
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.

2004-05-14Improve performance of `sort -m' on large files, at the cost ofJim Meyering
making some contrived examples unsafe. POSIX allows this optimization. Performance problem reported by Jonathan Baker in <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-05/msg00071.html>. (first_same_file): Do not treat input pipes differently from other files.

Renamed from programs, for consistency. All uses changed.
