using the same behavior that is documented in ksh93.

order that it is read, and is written exactly once.

for people who want to emulate the traditional (and rarely desirable)
cp -r behavior.
(cp invocation): Document this.
Fix some related minor bugs: --no-dereference is no longer
equivalent to -d, and --archive (-a) can override the other
symlink options. Warn that cp -R is not portable on symbolic
links unless you also specify -P.

preserves symlinks. Emphasize non-portability of cp -r.

This documents the recent change to 'ls'.

--suffix-length option, and refuses to generate more files

Document this.

for support of obsolete "-DIGITS" option syntax in nice, and
which prohibits options with optional arguments like date's
-I option.
Document this.
|
|
support of obsolete "-N" option syntax in expand, head, fold,
split, tail, unexpand, uniq, and which prohibits options with
optional arguments in od and pr.
|

and clean up a few others based on suggestions from Bob Proulx.
|
|
support of obsolete "+" option syntax in sort, tail, and uniq.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document this. (Also, document a similar
change to "touch", for fileutils).

For example, --block-size=1MB now means --block-size=1000000,
whereas --block-size=1MiB now means --block-size=1048576.
A trailing `B' now means decimal, not binary; this is a silent change.
-H or --si now outputs the trailing 'B', for consistency with this.
Programs now output trailing 'K' (not 'k') to mean 1024.
New df, du short option -B is short for --block-size.
You can omit an integer `1' before a block size suffix,
e.g. `df -BG' is equivalent to `df -B 1G' and to `df --block-size=1G'.
Document the above. Remove documentation
for obsolescent constructs MD, --kilobytes, -m or --megabytes.

Thanks to Dan Jacobson for suggesting the examples.

Based on a message from Paul Eggert.
(ls invocation): Recommend setting LC_ALL=C, not LC_COLLATE=C.

no longer equivalent to `cp -d'.
`cp -d' is equivalent to `--no-dereference --preserve=links'.
cp's -P option means --no-dereference, not --parents.
Describe new optional argument to --preserve.
Describe new option: --no-preserve=ATTRIBUTE_LIST.

'uname -a' now outputs -i and -o information at the end.
New uname option --kernel-version is an alias for -v.
Uname option --release has been renamed to --kernel-release,
and --sysname has been renamed to --kernel-name;
the old options will work for a while, but are no longer documented.
