2009-02-10ls: clean up after wrapped+colored file names with clear-to-EOLJim Meyering
This change addresses a relatively unusual case: ls --color, with a highlighted name being printed initially in the last row of a terminal emulator (possibly followed by other lines of output) such that it is wrapped onto the following line, as the terminal emulator scrolls the output. That would cause the entire following line to be highlighted, even if the name happened to use only one position. The least-invasive patch would have made colorized output larger for all uses. The approach taken below is more invasive, but limits the increase in overhead to only those lines that are expected to wrap. * src/ls.c (enum indicator_no): Add C_CLR_TO_EOL. (indicator_name): Add "cl". (color_indicator): Add default escape codes for "cl". (print_long_format): Propagate width to print_name_with_quoting. (print_name_with_quoting): Print new C_CLR_TO_EOL string if needed. Return the width of what we're printing. (print_file_name_and_frills): Propagate width. (print_type_indicator): Return bool (aka width). (print_many_per_line): Pass column position to print_* function. (print_current_files): Likewise. (print_horizontal): Likewise. (print_with_commas): Likewise. * src/dircolors.c (slack_codes): Add "CLRTOEOL". (ls_codes): Add "cl". * tests/ls/color-clear-to-eol: New file. Test for this fix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add ls/color-clear-to-eol. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov. See thread for details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/740021/focus=14824 Thanks to Jan Engelhardt for helping me reproduce the problem.

2009-02-06tests: fix dd skip=greater_max_file_size test on Solaris 10Pádraig Brady

2009-01-28dd: Better handle user specified offsets that are too bigPádraig Brady
Following are the before and after operations for seekable files, for the various erroneous offsets handled by this patch: skip beyond end of file before: immediately exit(0); after : immediately printf("cannot skip to specified offset"); exit(0); skip > max file size before: read whole file and exit(0); after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1); seek > max file size before: immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1); after : immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1); skip > OFF_T_MAX before: read whole device/file and exit(0); after : immediately printf("cannot skip:"); exit(1); seek > OFF_T_MAX before: immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1); after : immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1); skip > device size before: read whole device and exit(0); after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1); seek > device size before: read whole device and printf("write error: ENOSPC"); exit(1); after : immediately printf("cannot seek: Invalid argument"); exit(1); * NEWS: Summarize this change in behavior. * src/dd.c (skip): Add error checking for large seek/skip offsets on seekable files, rather than deferring to using read() to advance offset.
