2012-03-08build: update gnulib submodule to latestPaul Eggert
2012-03-08du: fix -x: don't ignore non-directory argumentsJim Meyering
Surprise! "du -x non-DIR" would print nothing. Note that the problem arises only when processing a non-directory specified on the command line. Not surprisingly, "du -x" still works as expected for any directory argument. When performing its same-file-system check, du may skip an entry only if it is at fts_level 1 or greater. Command-line arguments are at fts_level == 0 (FTS_ROOTLEVEL). * src/du.c (process_file): Don't use the top-level FTS->fts_dev when testing for --one-file-system (-x). It happens to be valid for directories, but it is always 0 for a non-directory. * tests/du/one-file-system: Add tests for this. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Daniel Stavrovski in http://bugs.gnu.org/10967. Introduced by commit v8.14-95-gcfe1040.
2012-03-07maint: use an optimal-for-coreutils xz compression settingJim Meyering
* cfg.mk: Set XZ_OPT = -8e (determined empirically). This sacrifices 8 KiB of compressed tarball size for a 32-MiB decrease in the memory required during decompression. I.e., using -9e would shave off only 8 KiB from the tar.xz file, yet would force every decompression process to use 32 MiB more memory.
2012-03-07basename: support more than one argumentJérémy Compostella
* src/basename.c (perform_basename): New function refactored from main() that performs the basename work on a STRING, optionally removes a trailing SUFFIX and outputs the result. (main): Handle new options. * doc/coreutils.texi (basename invocation): Mention new options. * test/misc/basename: Add new options test cases. * NEWS (New features): Mention it.
2012-03-06maint: refactor copy to use is_nul()Pádraig Brady
* src/dd.c: Move is_nul() from here to ... * src/system.h: ... here * src/copy.c (sparse_copy): Adjust to use the refactored is_nul()
2012-03-02tests: work around a block alignment issue in dd/sparsePádraig Brady
Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2188210 (which uses XFS). * tests/dd/sparse (alloc_equal): Add a block allocation comparison function that accounts for variations due to alignment.
2012-02-29doc: timeout: document the exit status when run with "-s KILL"Rodrigo Campos
* src/timeout.c (usage): Document the exit status for this case, in --help and thus in the man page. Word so that it covers both the -s9 and -k options. * doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Document the exit status for this case.
2012-02-29tests: compile and link shared object with $CC to make LD_PRELOAD workBernhard Voelker
* tests/ls/getxattr-speedup: Compile and link in one step with $CC. If the shared object file is created by ld (binutils), then the destructor print_call_count() may not run (seen on OpenSuSE 12.1). See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2012-02/msg01342.html Thanks to Cristian Rodríguez.
2012-02-29dd: add support for the conv=sparse optionRoman Rybalko
Notes: Small seeks are not coalesced to larger ones, like is done in cache_round() for example. conv= is used rather then oflag= for FreeBSD compatibility. * src/dd.c (final_op_was_seek): A new global boolean to flag whether the final "write" was converted to a seek. (usage): Describe the new conf=sparse option. (iwrite): Convert a write of a NUL block to a seek if requested. (do_copy): Initialize the output buffer to have a sentinel, to allow for efficient testing for NUL output blocks. If the last block in the file was converted to a seek, then convert back to a write so the size is updated. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. * tests/dd/sparse: A new test for the feature. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
2012-02-27doc: fix a wrong option reference in split invocationJérémy Compostella
* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): replace `-r' reference with `-nr/n'.
2012-02-26tests: fix help-version on cygwin, where $EXEEXT is nonemptyJim Meyering
* tests/misc/help-version: Remove the $EXEEXT suffix from each program name before comparing with a literal.
2012-02-26tests: remove unnecessary use of -lcBernhard Voelker
* tests/ls/getxattr-speedup: Remove unneeded use of -lc.
2012-02-25sort: default to physmem/8, not physmem/16Paul Eggert
* src/sort.c (default_sort_size): Don't divide advice by 2. Just divide the hard limits by 2. This matches the comments. Reported by Rogier Wolff in http://bugs.gnu.org/10877
2012-02-24doc: clarify a comment in system.hJim Meyering
* src/system.h (STRNCMP_LIT): Clarify comment. Suggested by Bruno Haible.
2012-02-20split: add the --additional-suffix optionJérémy Compostella
Add the --additional-suffix option, to append an additional static suffix to output file names. * src/split.c (next_file_name): Append suffix to output file names. (main): Handle new --additional-suffix option. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Mention it. * tests/split/additional-suffix: New file. Test --additional-suffix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. Requested by Peng Yu, in bug 6554
2012-02-20ls: adjust errnos indicating device non support for xattrsPádraig Brady
* src/ls.c (errno_unsupported): Remove EBUSY, as this caters for the case where ACLs can't be accessed because the _file_ is locked. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-06/msg00191.html Also ENOENT is not safe to include as you get that if the _file_ is removed between the stat() and subsequent querying of xattrs.
2012-02-19tests: ls/getxattr-speedup: include <sys/types.h> for older headersJérémy Compostella
Modern <stdio.h> provides ssize_t, but the one from Debian's libc6-dev 2.11.2-10 apparently does not. * tests/ls/getxattr-speedup: Also include <sys/types.h>.
2012-02-18doc: fix file names in split --filter=command exampleJérémy Compostella
* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Output file names should be prefixed with `big-' not `big-x'.
2012-02-18tests: test for ls speed-upJim Meyering
* tests/ls/getxattr-speedup: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. Improved-by: Bernhard Voelker
2012-02-18ls: cache ACL- and CAP-querying syscall failuresJim Meyering
Like the optimization to avoid always-failing getfilecon calls, this change avoids always-failing queries for whether a file has a nontrivial ACL and for whether a file has certain "capabilities". When such a query fails for one file (indicating no support), we know it will always fail that way for the affected device. With this change, we have thus eliminated nearly all failing-unsupported getxattr syscalls. * src/ls.c (has_capability) [!HAVE_CAP]: Set errno to ENOTSUP. (errno_unsupported): Expand the list of E* errno values to match that of lib/acl-internal.h's ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED macro. (file_has_acl_cache, has_capability_cache): New functions. (gobble_file): Use them in place of non-caching ones. * NEWS (Improvements): Mention it. Suggested by Sven Breuner in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/2187 While eliminating most getfilecon calls saved about 33%, eliminating these other calls can save almost all of the remaining ~67% cost, on some remote file systems.
2012-02-18ls: optimize for when getfilecon would often fail (~33% perf. gain)Jim Meyering
On systems or file systems without SELinux support, all getfilecon and lgetfilecon calls would fail due to lack of support. We can non- invasively cache such failure (on most recently accessed device) and avoid the vast majority of the failing underlying getxattr syscalls. * src/ls.c (errno_unsupported): New function. (selinux_challenged_device): New file-scoped global. (getfilecon_cache, lgetfilecon_cache): New error-caching wrapper functions. (gobble_file): Use the caching wrappers, for when many *getfilecon calls would fail with ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUPP. Suggested by Sven Breuner in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/2187 Improved-by: Pádraig Brady.
2012-02-18split: support optional start value for --numeric-suffixesJérémy Compostella
Allow changing the --numeric-suffixes start number from the default of 0. * src/split.c (next_file_name): Initialize the suffix index and the output filename according to start value. (main): Check that the suffix length is large enough for the numerical suffix start value. * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Mention it. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * tests/split/numeric: New file. Test --numeric-suffixes[=FROM]. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reference the new test.
2012-02-17doc: fix a typo about seek_bytes in NEWSPádraig Brady
* NEWS: s/count_bytes/seek_bytes/2
2012-02-16doc: improve 'rm -f' descriptionBernhard Voelker
* doc/coreutils.texi (rm invocation): Mention that the -f option also silences the message for missing operands, which is useful in scripts e.g., for "rm -f $file_list" when $file_list is empty. * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise. Reported by Jérémy Magrin in http://bugs.gnu.org/10819
2012-02-13dd: fix issues in the count_bytes and seek_bytes flags changePádraig Brady
These edge cases were missed in the previous commit 140eca15c. * src/dd.c (main): Include the bytes slop when truncating without further I/O. Don't invalidate the whole file cache in the case where 0 < count < ibs. * tests/dd/bytes: Change to using the independent truncate command to generate the file for comparison. Remove a redundant test case and replace with one testing the truncation only logic.
2012-02-12dd: add count_bytes, skip_bytes and seek_bytes flagsJérémy Compostella
dd now accepts the count_bytes and skip_bytes input flag and the seek_bytes output flag, to more easily allow processing portions of a file. * src/dd.c (scanargs): Compute skip_records and skip_bytes when 'skip_bytes' iflag is used. Compute max_records and max_bytes when 'count_bytes' iflag is used. Compute seek_records and seek_bytes when 'seek_bytes' oflag is used. (skip_via_lseek): Use new 'bytes' parameter and handle potential 'records' equals to zero. Update the bytes parameter when called with 'fdesc' equal to STDOUT_FILENO. Update the header comments. (dd_copy): Skip accordingly to skip_records AND skip_bytes. Count accordingly to max_records AND max_bytes. Seek on output accordingly to seek_records AND seek_bytes. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Detail new flags and behaviors. * tests/dd/bytes: New file. Tests for these new flags. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2012-02-12build: correct @@-,length values in last hunk of regcomp.c.diffJim Meyering
* gl/lib/regcomp.c.diff: Correct invalid hunk lengths (s/1/7/g) in the last hunk's @@-line.
2012-02-12build: update gnulib, bootstrap, gl/lib/regcomp.c.diffJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest. * bootstrap: Update from gnulib. * gl/lib/regcomp.c.diff: Adapt to gnulib changes.
2012-02-12mv: "mv A B" would sometimes succeed, yet A would remain, ...Jim Meyering
But only when both A and B were hard links to the same symlink. * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Handle another special case: the one in which we are moving a symlink onto a hard link to itself. In this case, we must explicitly tell the caller to unlink the source file. Otherwise, at least the linux-3.x kernel rename function would do nothing, as mandated by POSIX 2008. * tests/mv/symlink-onto-hardlink-to-self: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Bernhard Voelker in http://bugs.gnu.org/10686
2012-02-06maint: add braces as requested by HACKING coding standardJérémy Compostella
* src/dd.c (dd_copy): Braces were missing for this do/while statement.
2012-01-31doc: clarify --help output for some optional argumentsPádraig Brady
* src/pr.c (usage): Fix the -S description to indicate that the argument is optional for the short option. * doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Likewise. * src/od.c (usage): Fix the -S description to indicate that the argument is required for the short option. Clarify -w takes an argument and that it is optional.
2012-01-30maint: sort: remove the last uses of "'%s'" in diagnosticsJim Meyering
* src/sort.c (key_warnings): Use quote (quote_n, since there are two) rather than literal single quotes ('%s') in diagnostic.
2012-01-30mv: allow moving symlink onto same-inode dest with >= 2 hard linksJim Meyering
Normally, mv detects a few subtle cases in which proceeding with a same-file rename would, with very high probability, cause data loss. Here, we have found a corner case in which one of these same-inode tests makes mv refuse to perform a useful operation. Permit that corner case. * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Detect/exempt this case. * tests/mv/symlink-onto-hardlink: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Initially reported by: Matt McCutchen in http://bugs.gnu.org/6960. Raised again by Anders Kaseorg due to http://bugs.debian.org/654596. Improved-by: Paul Eggert.
2012-01-30build: update gnulib, for syntax-check vs canonicalize fixJim Meyering
2012-01-27maint: use single copyright year rangeJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright".
2012-01-27maint: make copyright statements more consistent; update gnulibJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (update-copyright-env): Add UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_FORCE=1 to rejoin some split lines, and UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2 to make update-copyright use only one year range. * gnulib: Update to latest, for newer update-copyright script.
2012-01-27maint: fix copyright in old fileutils ChangeLogJim Meyering
* old/fileutils/ChangeLog-1997: Insert omitted "Free Software" in the name of the copyright holder. Compress year range.
2012-01-26maint: remove some redundant automake _SOURCESPádraig Brady
* src/Makefile.am: Remove auto generated entries.
2012-01-25maint: cleanup an extraneous version output in a testPádraig Brady
* test/misc/stdbuf: Fixup the minor copy & paste issue introduced in commit ff7f0ff8
2012-01-25realpath: avoid the use of printfPádraig Brady
This was seen to give an 11% performance improvement. * src/realpath.c (relpath): Avoid using printf. (process_path): Likewise.
2012-01-25maint: use the standard require_perl_ functionPádraig Brady
* tests/cp/sparse-fiemap: Don't use a separate check.
2012-01-25realpath: remove extraneous '/' for --relative-to edge casesPádraig Brady
* src/realpath.c (path_common_prefix): Be consistent and always include a leading '/' in the count returned. (relpath): Account for the change in path_common_prefix() and avoid outputting extra '/' chars in relative paths that span the root dir. * tests/misc/realpath: Add the two reported cases. Reported by Mike Frysinger
2012-01-23build: update gnulib to latest, for test warning fixesJim Meyering
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/29810 for details.
2012-01-23tests: remove crufty test=test_name code from old testsJim Meyering
Before init.sh and similar, we would set test=test_name, and then construct temporary file names using $test. Now that each init.sh-using test is in its own directory, that practice is unwelcome. Remove bad examples. * tests/rm/f-1: Per above. * tests/rm/i-1: Likewise. * tests/rm/interactive-always: Likewise. * tests/rm/interactive-once: Likewise. * tests/rm/ir-1: Likewise. * tests/rm/r-1: Likewise.
2012-01-22maint: quote 'like this' or "like this", not `like this'Paul Eggert
* doc/coreutils.texi (Formatting the file names): coreutils now quotes 'like this'. * man/help2man: * src/timeout.c (usage): Quote 'like this' in diagnostics. * HACKING, Makefile.am, NEWS, README, README-hacking, TODO, cfg.mk: * doc/Makefile.am, doc/coreutils.texi, m4/jm-macros.m4: * man/Makefile.am, man/help2man, src/Makefile.am, src/copy.h: * src/extract-magic, src/ls.c, src/pinky.c, src/pr.c, src/sort.c: * src/split.c, src/timeout.c, src/who.c, tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: * tests/pr/pr-tests: Quote 'like this' in commentary. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update due to changed old NEWS.
2012-01-20stat: clarify the description of the %o stat formatPádraig Brady
* src/stat.c (usage): Indicate this is a transfer size suggestion, rather than some persistent block size. * doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Likewise.
2012-01-14doc: tweak an @uref so its alt reference text renders in infoJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (Opening the software toolbox): Remove commas from @uref argument, so the alternate text renders properly in info. Reported by Reuben Thomas.
2012-01-11maint: fix minor whitespace issuesPádraig Brady
The previous commit introduced a couple of spacing issues, luckily one of which caused a test to fail. * src/stat.c (default_format): Add a space so times are aligned. * src/tr.c (string2_extentd): Remove an extraneous space.
2012-01-11maint: adjust formatting of certain continued stringsJim Meyering
Add a rule to ding any source file that has a continued string with a word in the first column of the following line. Those tend to trigger malfunction in tools that try to map an arbitrary line number to an enclosing function name. Of course, very many strings do precisely this, *when they are part of the usage function*. So we exempt the body of each usage function. * src/dircolors.c (main): Separate a long, continued string into two separately-quoted parts. * src/od.c (decode_one_format): Likewise. (decode_one_format, main): Move a space from end of preceding line to the beginning of the continued line. * src/tr.c (unquote, string2_extend, validate): Likewise. * src/seq.c (main): Split in two and use string concatenation. * src/stat.c (default_format): Use a mix of techniques. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_continued_string_alpha_in_column_1): New rule. Exempt three files in src: system.h, od.c, printf.c.
2012-01-09maint: straggler *.[ch] files: convert more `...' to '...'Jim Meyering
The preceding commands ignored .[ch] files in lib/ and gl/. This is what I should have been doing from the start: git grep -l '`.*'\' $(g ls-files |grep '\.[ch]$') \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/`(.+?'\'')/'\''$1/'
