2004-06-30(usage, main): Output "file system" rather than "filesystem".Jim Meyering
(long_options, usage): Rename "--filesystem" to "--file-system". But keep the old name around, for compatibility reasons.

2004-06-30Standardize on "file system" ratherJim Meyering
than "filesystem", as POSIX prefers it with a space.

2004-06-30 Add support for --no-target-directory option.Jim Meyering
2004-06-30(Common options, Target directory, cpJim Meyering
invocation, install invocation, mv invocation, ln invocation): Likewise. (link invocation): Explain how to rewrite link using ln now that we have --no-target-directory. (ln invocation): Explain that --no-target-directory subsumes --no-dereference. (unlink invocation): Modify wording to match new wording in link invocation.

2004-06-29Add support for 'install --target-directory', an optionJim Meyering
that has been documented for years but not implemented (!). (TARGET_DIRECTORY_OPTION): New var. (long_options, main, usage): Add --target-directory. (target_directory_operand): New function, stolen from mv.c. (main): Use it. Check for -d and --target-directory. Alter wording of diagnostics to match other programs.

2004-06-29Don't let verbose-mode output from a subshell obscure actual differences.Jim Meyering
Turn off command-echoing just before invoking subshell, then turn it back on if VERBOSE=yes afterward.
2004-06-28Add a test to verify that we get the newJim Meyering
diagnostic when failing to copy through a symlink-to-inaccessible-dir.

2004-06-28Don't assume "mv --target=nonexistentdir" will complain about the arg count.Jim Meyering
Adjust to new (briefer) diagnostics.
2004-06-28 Use more-consistent rules among cp, ln, and mv when dealing withJim Meyering
last operands that are (or look like) directories. * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): New, nearly-common function, It reports an error if the destination appears to be a directory (e.g., because it has a trailing slash) but is not. * src/ln.c, src/mv.c: Likewise. * src/cp.c (do_copy): Use it. * src/ln.c (main): Likewise. * src/mv.c (main): Likewise. * src/cp.c (do_copy): Don't output a usage message because of file problems (e.g., an operand is not a directory). Use it only for syntax. Standardize on "target %s is not a directory" for the diagnostic. * src/ln.c (main): Likewise. * src/mv.c (main): Likewise. * src/cp.c (do_copy): Remove test for trailing slash, since target_directory_operand now does this. * src/ln.c (main): Likewise. * src/mv.c (movefile): Likewise. * src/ln.c (isdir): Remove decl; no longer needed. * src/mv.c (isdir, lstat): Likewise. * src/ln.c (main): Use int to count to argc, not unsigned int. This handles negative operand counts. * src/mv.c (main): Likewise. * src/mv.c (do_move): Don't call hash_init; expect the caller to do it, for consistency with cp.c and ln.c. All callers changed. (movefile): dest_is_dir parameter is now bool, not int. (main): Standardize on "missing destination file operand after %s" for the diagnostic, for consistency with cp.c.

Check whether a specified target is a directory when parsing the options, using stat. This gives more-accurate diagnostics. * src/ln.c (main): Likewise. * src/ln.c (isdir): Remove decl; no longer needed. * src/mv.c (isdir, lstat): Likewise. * src/ln.c (do_link): New arg dest_is_dir. All uses changed. Don't check the destination ourself; rely on dest_is_dir. This way we can avoid lstatting the destination in the usual case, and in the worst case we lstat 1, not 3 times. Don't bother to unlink unless link failed; this saves a syscall. Remove unnecessary backup_succeeded flag; it was identical to "dest_backup != NULL". * src/ln.c (main): Use int to count to argc, not unsigned int. This handles negative operand counts. * src/mv.c (main): Likewise.

2004-06-27 Fix a bug: formerly, if d/x was a directory and x a file, "ln xJim Meyering
d/" incorrectly created a link d/x/x. It also saves some system calls. Document the fix.
