* src/ls.c (usage): Mention -k only changes the display
for disk usage (directory total, and ls -s), and imply
that it can be overridden (by --block-size, and -h).
* doc/coreutils.texi (block size): Mention that ls -k
handling is different to other utilities.

The error diagnostic
"rm: cannot remove directory: '.'"
does not give the user a hint for the reason.
Issue a clearer error message.
* src/remove.c (rm_fts): Enhance the error diagnostic in the above
case to emphasize that skipping is done deliberately.
In the corresponding comment, mention that POSIX mandates this
behavior. Likewise in the subsequent comment for skipping "/".
* doc/coreutils.texi (rm invocation): In the paragraph describing
the above behavior, mention that POSIX mandates it.

* src/copy.c (create_hard_link): Add a bool 'dereference' parameter,
and pass AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW as 'flags' to linkat() when dereference
is true.
(should_dereference): Add new 'bool' function to determine if a
file should be dereferenced or not.
(copy_internal): Use the above new should_dereference() and remember
its return value in a new local bool 'dereference' variable. Use that
in all three calls to create_hard_link().
* src/cp.c (main): after parsing the options, if x.dereference is
still DEFEF_UNDEFINED and the x.recursive is true, then only set
x.dereference to DEREF_NEVER iff --link was not specified.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention that cp(1) does not
follow symbolic links in the source when --link is specified.
Likewise in the description of the -R option when used together with
that option.

* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Give more detail about what's
happening in the example, explicitly calling out the --no-dereference
option required to make the -H and -L options significant.
Also mention the option order significance of the -H and -L options.

* src/group-list.h (print_group_list): Add a parameter for the
delimiter of type char.
* src/group-list.c (print_group_list): Likewise, and use it instead
of a white space character to delimit the group entries.
* src/groups.c (main): Pass white space character to print_group_list().
* src/id.c (longopts): Add array element for the new long option.
(usage): Document the new option. While at it, fix the alignment
of the descriptions to match that of HELP_OPTION_DESCRIPTION.
(main): Define the bool flag opt_zero indicating the use of the
new option. In the getopt_long loop, handle it.
Output an error diagnostic in the case the --zero option has been
specified together with the default format.
In the case of -gG, pass either a NUL or a white space character to
print_group_list() - depending on the above new flag.
Likewise change the printing of the final newline character: output
a NUL instead if the --zero option has been specified.
* doc/coreutils.texi (id invocation): Document the new option.
While at it, move the @exitstatus macro down after the macro
@primaryAndSupplementaryGroups in order to be consistent with
other texinfo documents.
(groups invocation): Move @exitstatus down after the macro
@primaryAndSupplementaryGroups here, too.
* tests/misc/id-zero.sh: Add new test exercising the new option.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Reference it.

* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): In the example list of common
file system types, exchange the entries which are not so common
anymore (4.2, ufs, efs, hsfs, pcfs) by far more prominent ones
(ext2, ext3, ext4, xfs, btrfs, iso9660, ntfs, fat).

This new option can be used to find directories with a huge
amount of files. The GNU find utility has the printf format
"%h" which prints the number of entries in a directory, but
this is non-cumulative and doesn't handle hard links.
* src/du.c (struct duinfo): Add new member for counting inodes.
(duinfo_init): Initialize inodes member with Zero.
(duinfo_set): Set inodes counter to 1.
(duinfo_add): Sum up the 2 given inodes counters.
(opt_inodes): Add new boolean flag to remember if the --inodes
option has been specified.
(INODES_OPTION): Add new enum value to be used ...
(long_options): ... here.
(usage): Add description of the new option.
(print_size): Pass inodes counter or size to print_only_size,
depending on the inodes mode.
(process_file): Adapt threshold handling: with --inodes, print or
elide the entries according to the struct member inodes.
(main): Add a case for accepting the new INODES_OPTION.
Print a warning diagnostic when --inodes is used together with the
option --apparent-size or -b.
Reset the output_block_size to 1 ... and thus ignoring the
options -m and -k.
* tests/du/inodes.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Mention it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Document the new option.
* NEWS: Mention the new option.

* src/dd.c (STATUS_NONE): Simplify the enum so that
it's more general than just suppressing transfer counts.
Then test this in all locations where non fatal diagnostics
are output.
* tests/dd/misc.sh: Ensure the diagnostic about
being unable to skip past the end of input is suppressed.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

permutation of the specified input range with repetition.
(write_random_lines): Likewise for stdin and --echo.
(write_permuted_numbers): New function refactored from
write_permuted_output().
(write_permuted_lines): Likewise.

read all of the input into memory with --repetitions.
* NEWS: Mention new shuf option.

* man/df.x: Don't say that a dev node is always on the root file system.
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Likewise. Also state that the
device node to mounted file system interpretation is only done when
passed absolute paths to device nodes.
|
|
* src/truncate.c (usage): Mention that --size is in bytes which
is by far the most common usage.

The --retry option is indeed useful for both following modes
by name and by file descriptor. The difference is that in the
latter case, it is effective only during the initial open.
As a regression of the implementation of the inotify support,
tail -f --retry would immediately exit if the given file is
inaccessible.
* src/tail.c (usage): Change the description of the --retry option:
remove the note that this option would mainly be useful when
following by name.
(main): Change diagnosing dubios uses of --retry option:
when the --retry option is used without following, then issue
a warning that this option is ignored; when it is used together
with --follow=descriptor, then issue a warning that it is only
effective for the initial open.
Disable inotify also in the case when the initial open in tail_file()
failed (which is the actual bug fix).
* init.cfg (retry_delay_): Pass excess arguments to the test function.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add new tests.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Mention it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Enhance the documentation
of the --retry option. Clarify the difference in tail's behavior
regarding the --retry option when combined with the following modes
name versus descriptor.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the fix.

* doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Mention that install(1) may
not correctly determine the default user or permissions for installed
files, and so is best used with options specifying these attributes.

With --suppress-matched, the lines that match the pattern will not be
printed in the output files. I.E. the first line from the second
and subsequent splits will be suppressed.
* src/csplit.c: process_regexp(),process_line_count(): Don't output the
matched lines. Since csplit includes "up to but not including" matched
lines in each split, the first line (in the next group) is the matched
line - so just skip it.
main(): Handle new option.
usage(): Mention new option.
* doc/coreutils.texi (csplit invocation): Mention new option, examples.
* tests/misc/csplit-suppress-matched.pl: New test script.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.

resolved with --relative, and give an example showing the greater
control available through realpath(1).
* tests/ln/relative.sh: Add a test to demonstrate full symlink
resolution, in a case where it might not be wanted.
|
|
* src/od.c (usage): Mention any printable character is output,
Not just ASCII.
* doc/coreutils.texi (od invocation): Further clarify that only
single byte characters are output (due to the alignment requirement).
Also mention the fact that 3 digit octal sequences are output
for non printable characters without a corresponding C escape.

|
* doc/coreutils.texi (ambiguousGroupNote): Ensure '\' is escaped
appropriately within the macro. This was verified to generate
a single '\' in both "info" and "pdf" outputs.
|
|
* src/uniq.c (usage): Summarize the new option,
and adjust the --all-repeated option to be more consistent.
(check_file): Merge the --group functionality into
the core loop for the default uniq operation since
it's very similar and can output lines immediately upon reading.
(main): Handle the new --group option and make it
mutually exclusive with other selection options.
* tests/misc/uniq.pl: Add tests.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* doc/coreutils.texi (uniq invocation): Describe --group.

clearer. Start option descriptions with lowercase letter; use
semicolon instead of period where needed; indent continuation lines;
gettextize single options for ease of translation and maintenance;
sort options alphabetically.
* doc/coreutils.texi (numfmt invocation): Sort numfmt options
alphabetically. Enforce double-blank-after-period style.

Like any other pseudo file system, df should show rootfs only
when the -a option is specified, i.e. specifying -trootfs alone
is not sufficient. As the rootfs entry is now elided by the
general deduplication in filter_mount_list (commit v8.20-103-gbb116d3),
all other references to rootfs can be removed again.
* src/df.c (show_rootfs): Remove global variable.
(ROOTFS): Remove constant.
(filter_mount_list): Remove case to handle rootfs specially.
(main): In the case for handling the -t option, remove setting
of the show_rootfs variable.
* tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh: Adapt the test case "df -t rootfs":
the rootfs file system must not be printed (because no -a).
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Correct the documentation
about eliding mount entries: it is not the first occurrence of
the the device which wins, but now rather the entry with the
shortest mount point name. Also adapt the description about
eliding pseudo file system types like rootfs.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Adapt entry.

the --threshold option specified by the user.
(long_options): Add a required_argument entry for the new
--threshold option.
(usage): Add --threshold option.
(process_file): Elide printing the entry if its size does not
meet the value specified by the --threshold option.
(main): In the argument parsing loop, add a case for the new
-t option. Convert the given argument by permitting the
well-known suffixes for megabyte, gigabytes, etc.
Handle the special case "-0": give an error as this value is
not permitted.
* doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Add documentation for the
above new option.
* tests/du/threshold.sh: Add new test to exercise the new option.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Mention the above test.

This allows efficient processing of multiple files,
while also increasing compatibility with BSD's readlink(1).
We also add the -z, --zero option to delimit output items
with the NUL character which disambiguates output in the
presence of '\n' characters.
* src/readlink.c (usage): Add the --zero description,
and also adjust the description of --no-newline accordingly.
(main): Handle the -z option and iterate over multiple arguments.
Also as in commit v8.15-24-g9d46b25 we use fputs() and putchar()
rather than printf() for performance reasons.
