2016-01-15tests: adjust memory limits in head-c.shPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/head-c.sh: Further increase the limit, to account for the fact that head(1) needs at least 1.576MB over the base test command on FreeBSD 10. 4MB should be enough headroom while still providing over allocation protection. Reported by Assaf Gordon.
2016-01-15tests: simplify invalid signal determination for kill -lPádraig Brady
* src/operand2sig.c (operand2sig): Add a detailed comment explaining why we validate even very large shell exit status values. * tests/misc/kill.sh: Add a test case for the ksh scheme. Simplify the INVALID signal number determination which also avoids a false failure on systems like FreeBSD 10 with incomplete signal list (caused by inaccurate NSIG).
2016-01-15tests: support older fallocate number formatsPádraig Brady
* tests/cp/fiemap-extents.sh: Support RHEL6 fallocate which doesn't support IEC suffixes like "MiB" on numbers. Also add some extra framework_failure_ protections. Reported by Assaf Gordon.
2016-01-15tests: avoid coredumps when determining memory limitsPádraig Brady
* init.cfg (get_min_ulimit_v_): Refactor ulimit call to... (ulimit_supported_): ...here, and add calls to avoid coredumps.
2016-01-14sort: with --debug, flag setlocale() failures on OpenBSDPádraig Brady
Locale categories are not equivalent on OpenBSD, and LC_COLLATE only supports "C" for example. Now LC_ALL is supported to set multiple other categories on OpenBSD, so setlocale(LC_ALL, "") returns a string indicating which categories were updated and which ignored. Therefore... * src/sort.c (main): ...Call setlocale(LC_COLLATE, "") to explicitly check whether a specified LC_ALL or LC_COLLATE environment variable value is supported for the LC_COLLATE category. Also use !! to explicitly convert to bool to support c89 systems where bool is an int, and thus would get values > 1. Reported by Assaf Gordon.
2016-01-13maint: remove temporary doc/constants.texi-t during buildPádraig Brady
* doc/local.mk (constants.texi): Remove temp file.
2016-01-13maint: fix old spelling mistakes in NEWSPádraig Brady

Mention this is only a request to the system. * src/dd.c (usage): Mention the "sync" flag along with "nocache". Also mention that it's only a request to drop the cache. * THANKS.in: Add reporter Francois Rigault.
2016-01-13doc: mention the '0#' printf flags with stat %aPádraig Brady
* src/stat.c (usage): Mention the '#' and '0' flags are useful with %a. * doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Likewise. Also give an example printing unambiguous octal output. Reported at http://bugs.debian.org/810539
2016-01-13mv: fix data loss with repeated source dir and same destinationPádraig Brady
commit v8.23-31-g90aa291 failed to consider this case, where the previous rename has failed, thus causing the following to remove the specified directory: mv dir dir dir * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Assume this rename attempt has succeeded, as a previous failure will already have been handled, and we don't want to remove the source directory in this case. * tests/cp/duplicate-sources.sh: Consolidate this test file to... * tests/mv/dup-source.sh: ...here. Add test cases for same source and dest. * tests/local.mk: Remove the consolidated test. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1297464
2016-01-13tests: include part of wc-files0.sh skipped by mistakePádraig Brady
* tests/misc/wc-files0.sh: $fail is always set to 0, so correct the test to include that part of the test case.
2016-01-13wc: avoid ambiguous output with '\n' in file namesPádraig Brady
* src/wc.c (write_counts): Shell escape the file name if it contains '\n' so only a single line per file is output. * tests/misc/wc-files0.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.

2016-01-13comm: support NUL --output-delimiter for consistencyPádraig Brady
* src/comm.c (main): Track the output delimiter length, so that it can be adjusted to 1 for the NUL delimiter. Also rename the global variable from "delimiter" to "col_sep" so its use is more obvious, and to distinguish from the recently added "delim" global variable. * tests/misc/comm.pl: Adjust accordingly.
2016-01-13comm: add the -z,--zero-terminated optionPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (comm invocation): Reference option description. * src/comm.c (main): Use readlinebuffer_delim() to support a parameterized delimiter. * tests/misc/comm.pl: Add test cases. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.

2016-01-10tests: fix races wrt output files of background processesBernhard Voelker
At least the false positive in tail-2/follow-stdin.sh could be seen on a 4-core i5 system with -j8. Fix similar cases. too. * tests/tail-2/follow-stdin.sh: Empty the 'out' file in each iteration. Otherwise, under heavy system load, 'check_tail_output' would see the expected output from the previous round before tail would have the chance to come up in the background. While at it, move the creation of the 'exp' file out of the loop. * tests/dd/stats.sh: Empty the output file of the background process here, too. * tests/misc/cat-buf.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/stdbuf.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait.sh: Likewise.
2016-01-06stty: support "flusho" local settingPádraig Brady
This is used to discard terminal output on FreeBSD based systems. * src/stty.c (mode_info): Add FLUSHO where supported. (usage): Document for "local" and "combination" settings. * doc/coreutils.texi (local stty settings): Document, mentioning that this option is supported but ignored on GNU/Linux.
2016-01-06stty: support [-]drain setting to control waiting for pending TxPádraig Brady
Instead of commit v8.24-132-g5171bef which only provides control to disable this behavior (with -I), provide the symmetrical "[-]drain" special setting. * src/stty.c (main): Parse the [-]drain setting instead of -I, and treat like a global option. (usage): Adjust accordingly. * tests/misc/stty.sh: Test "drain" with and without options. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2016-01-04stty: support -I, --immediate to not wait for pending transmissionPádraig Brady
In some cases an initial drain may block indefinitely as discussed at: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2016-01/msg00007.html * src/stty.c (main): Use TCSANOW rather than TCSADRAIN if -I specified. (usage): Document the new option. * doc/coreutils.texi (stty invocation): Likewise. * tests/misc/stty.sh: Ensure -I is supported. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2016-01-03doc: avoid unwanted display of the 'coreutils' command infoPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (coreutils): Remove this direntry so that `info coreutils` will display the table of contents, rather than the unlikely intended coreutils Multi-call invocation. This also supports lookups like `info coreutils readlink`, but note that only works with the standard info viewer, and not with pinfo for example.
2016-01-03doc: mention in more places that -D will create --target-directoryPádraig Brady
* src/install.c (usage): Mention this commonly required functionality in the -D option description. * doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Likewise for the --target-directory description.
2016-01-03install: only attempt to create a target dir oncePádraig Brady
* src/install.c (main): As an optimization, when calling install_file_in_dir() for each file, only attempt to create the target directory once, as this is invariant over the loop.
2016-01-03install: fix relative copies to absolute directory with -DPádraig Brady
* src/install.c (mkancesdirs_safe_wd): Unconditionally restore the current working directory when possibly called multiple times (from install_file_in_dir()). * tests/install/create-leading.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/21497
2016-01-03maint: fix sc_long_lines to warn about 100+ maximum line length againBernhard Voelker
Since commit v8.23-60-g414a8cf, the above check failed to find sources where the length of the longest line is a 3 or more digit number. * cfg.mk (sc_long_lines): Remove the '\' escape character before '{' and '}', because this would mean literal '{' and '}' characters in an extended regular expression in sed(1).
2016-01-01maint: avoid a sc_long_lines failure in recent commitPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (alloc_ibuf): Shorten line length.

Problem noted by Pádraig Brady in: http://bugs.gnu.org/22277#8 Also, make the output a bit more precise while we're at it. * NEWS: Document this. * src/dd.c (previous_time): Remove, replacing with ... (next_time): New var. All uses changed. This avoids some rounding errors, and should be a bit faster. (newline_pending): Remove, replacing with ... (progress_len): New var. All uses changed. This lets us keep track of how many trailing spaces to append. (print_xfer_stats): Get the time first thing, so that it's closer to being correct. Count the bytes output, and append trailing spaces if needed. Add remarks to translators about translation lengths.
2015-12-31dd: summarize in --human-readable format tooPaul Eggert
Problem reported by Linda Walsh in: http://bugs.gnu.org/17505 * NEWS: Document this. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Use a simpler script. Adjust output example to match new behavior. * src/dd.c (human_size): Remove. All uses changed to use human_readable and ... (human_opts): ... this new constant. (abbreviation_lacks_prefix): New function. (print_xfer_stats): Use it. Output both --si and --human-readable summaries, but only if they have prefixes. * tests/dd/reblock.sh, tests/dd/stats.sh: Test new behavior.

2015-12-17build: rely on umask for setting permissions in tarballBernhard Voelker
Commit v8.24-116-g896006b changed the file permissions for the tarball using ug+rw. Better to let the umask decide whether the file should be group-writeable or not. * Makefile.am (dist-hook): Change chmod call from 'ug+rw' to '+rw'.
2015-12-17tests: avoid intermittent ulimit -v failuresPádraig Brady
* init.cfg (get_min_ulimit_v_): Increase the determined virtual memory limit for the command by a page size to avoid alignment issues causing false failures for subsequent runs. * tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Be defensive and match the cut invocations under test, more closely with the form used to determine the VM memory limit. This was noticed on i686 linux at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/28990456
2015-12-17build: ensure all files are writable in the tarballPádraig Brady
* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Ensure all files are writable so that extracted tarballs are easy to remove, without getting prompts about removing read-only files. Reported by Benno Schulenberg.
2015-12-15maint: ensure emit_mandatory_arg_note() used if neededPádraig Brady

2015-12-14sort: fix --debug marking for -b -k1.xPádraig Brady
We were erroneously skipping blanks in the marked comparison _after_ the key start offset was applied. * src/sort.c (debug_keys): Don't skip starting blanks if already handled by begfield(). * tests/misc/sort-debug-keys.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/22155
2015-12-14stat: report file system type for "overlayfs"Pádraig Brady
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add "overlayfs", and tag it as "remote" to ensure that tail continues to use the more conservative polling mode. * README-release: Remove a stale comment about updating fremote() in tail.c. Also give a link to *_SUPER_MAGIC definitions not in the standard linux/magic.h location. * NEWS: Mention that this file system is recognized.
2015-12-14kill: add undocumented -L for compatibilityPádraig Brady
procps, bash >= 4.4, and util-linux >= 2.23 all have the -L option to output a table. * src/kill.c (main): Have -L synonymous with -t. Luckily there is no signal that begins with 'L'. * tests/misc/kill.sh: Update the test.
2015-12-14tests: add tests for the kill commandPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/kill.sh: Add first tests for kill. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
