| 2006-07-23 | (Mode Structure, Symbolic Modes, Numeric Modes): Be more careful | Paul Eggert | |
| about distinguishing file mode bits from permissions bits, and about execute versus search permission. The FreeBSD command is chflags, not chrflags. | |||
| 2006-07-22 | (What information is listed): Clarify that the restricted deletion | Paul Eggert | |
| flag is another name for the sticky bit. | |||
| 2006-07-17 | Change GNU to @acronym{GNU} in a few places. | Paul Eggert | |
| Use "set-user-ID" and "set-group-ID" a bit more consistently. Use "appropriate privileges" rather than "super-user" a bit more consistently. (install invocation): Parent directories are now 755 without uid or gid changing. The default mode is now 0755, not 755. (mkdir invocation): Rewrite the top-level usage description, since I couldn't easily follow the old one. It's now 3 lines not 8. For -m, describe file permission bits versus other bits, and note that mkdir is atomic if you don't mention special bits. (chmod invocation): Mention what chmod does to setgid and setuid bits. | |||
| 2006-07-08 | * coreutils.texi (Squeezing): Separate doubled "the", so typo-checkers | Jim Meyering | |
| don't complain. | |||
| 2006-07-08 | * coreutils.texi: Fix some typos. Use `zeros' consistently (both | Jim Meyering | |
| `zeros' and `zeroes' are correct). | |||
| 2006-07-01 | (tail invocation): With no operand, 'tail -f' now | Paul Eggert | |
| silently ignores the '-f' only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. | |||
| 2006-07-01 | (seq invocation): seq now uses long double | Paul Eggert | |
| internally rather than double. It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible. It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G. Don't assume printf doesn't work for numbers that fit in 64 but not 32 bits; typically they work these days. Improve discussion of large integers and update the rounding-error numbers. | |||
| 2006-06-28 | (sort invocation): 'sort +1 -2' is now supported | Paul Eggert | |
| even when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to POSIX. | |||
| 2006-06-27 | * coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Remove ./ prefix from example. | Jim Meyering | |
| From Padraig Brady. | |||
| 2006-06-26 | * coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Spell out `--files0-from' in | Jim Meyering | |
| the example. Suggestion from Bob Proulx. | |||
| 2006-06-26 | * coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Document new --files0-from option. | Jim Meyering | |
| 2006-06-25 | (sleep invocation): Document that accepting | Jim Meyering | |
| multiple arguments and suffixes are extensions. Reported by Dan Jacobson. | |||
| 2006-05-25 | Remove mention of --seed. | Paul Eggert | |
| 2006-05-04 | (Examples of date): Give example of @seconds. | Jim Meyering | |
| 2006-05-03 | (head invocation, tail invocation, sort invocation): | Paul Eggert | |
| Give advice about porting to hosts that support only obsolete syntax. | |||
| 2006-04-23 | (Which files are listed): Describe new option: --group-directories-first. | Jim Meyering | |
| 2006-04-17 | (What information is listed): Add P for Solaris | Paul Eggert | |
| 10 ports. Add commented-out entries for other types that POSIX says are possible, or that I observed in FreeBSD documentation. | |||
| 2006-04-17 | (Input processing in ptx): Remove mention of the | Jim Meyering | |
| default --ignore file, /usr/local/lib/eign. That file has never been used. Reported by Eric Blake. | |||
| 2006-04-13 | (What information is listed): Document 'ls' type letters. | Paul Eggert | |
| 2006-04-12 | (expr invocation): expr exit status is 3 only for | Paul Eggert | |
| internal errors now; 2 is also for invalid values in expressions. | |||
| 2006-04-09 | (Top): Fix typo in System context menu entry: hostid wasn't mentioned. | Paul Eggert | |
| 2006-03-28 | (General options in ptx): Undocument --copyright. | Jim Meyering | |
| 2006-03-27 | (dirname invocation): Macro in previous patch was too broad. | Jim Meyering | |
| 2006-03-26 | (basename invocation, dirname invocation): | Jim Meyering | |
| Improve documentation to match recent // patches. | |||
| 2006-03-23 | (nohup invocation): nohup now redirects stderr to | Paul Eggert | |
| nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty. | |||
| 2006-03-06 | (dd invocation): New flags directory, nolinks. | Paul Eggert | |
| Alphabetize nofollow. | |||
| 2006-02-27 | Add base64 section. | Jim Meyering | |
| 2006-02-21 | (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'. | Paul Eggert | |
| 2006-02-20 | (rm invocation): Fix typo in last patch. | Jim Meyering | |
| (paste invocation): Fix whitespace. | |||
| 2006-02-20 | (rm invocation): Document new -I option, and new --interactive behavior. | Jim Meyering | |
| 2006-02-12 | (Character sets): Don't say that an unknown | Jim Meyering | |
| backslash-escape causes an error message -- it doesn't. Mention that `\' also removes any special significance, so is useful for [, ], *, -. Prompted by Richard Neill in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=14937 | |||
| 2006-02-12 | (Character sets): Don't say that an unknown | Jim Meyering | |
| backslash-escape causes an error message -- it doesn't. | |||
| 2006-02-02 | (od invocation): Warn that -t a ignores the high order bit. | Paul Eggert | |
| 2006-01-31 | (tail invocation): In the obsolete usage, the | Paul Eggert | |
| count is optional, so put square brackets around it. | |||
| 2006-01-03 | Use @acronym around "ISO" uniformly. | Paul Eggert | |
| (Date conversion specifiers): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better. | |||
| 2006-01-02 | (tail invocation): Say that --retry | Jim Meyering | |
| is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name. | |||
| 2006-01-02 | Update copyright year. | Paul Eggert | |
| 2006-01-02 | Clarify file mode bits versus file permission bits. | Paul Eggert | |
| (mkfifo invocation, mknod invocation): -m affects only file permission bits. | |||
| 2005-12-29 | (sort invocation): Clarify that by default a blank is a space or a tab. | Paul Eggert | |
| 2005-12-17 | (stat invocation) [--printf]: Describe new option. | Jim Meyering | |
| [--format]: Add example. Distinguish from --printf. Sort option descriptions. | |||
| 2005-12-17 | (ls): Clarify the Alternate Access Method description. | Jim Meyering | |
| (cp): Clarify that --preserve=mode also preserves acls. | |||
| 2005-12-12 | (sort invocation): Clarify explanation of | Paul Eggert | |
| --random-sort, and use a simpler example. | |||
| 2005-12-10 | (sort invocation): Add --random-sort (-R) and --seed. | Paul Eggert | |
| 2005-12-07 | (dd invocation): New noatime flag. | Paul Eggert | |
| 2005-11-26 | (df invocation): Document treatment of dummy file | Paul Eggert | |
| systems better. | |||
| 2005-11-16 | (tail invocation): Say that the obsolete form uses exactly one | Paul Eggert | |
| option and at most one file. | |||
| 2005-11-16 | (ln invocation): ln -v now outputs lines only for successful links. | Paul Eggert | |
| 2005-11-08 | (Formatting file timestamps): ls now defaults to | Paul Eggert | |
| --time-style='locale', which in turn acts like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up. | |||
| 2005-11-02 | (rm invocation): Don't mention --directory (-d). | Paul Eggert | |
| 2005-11-01 | (touch invocation): The old usage works only for 1969-1999 now. | Paul Eggert | |
