* src/numfmt.c: Replace field handling code with logic that understands
field range specifiers. Instead of processing a single field and
printing line prefix/suffix around it, process each field in the line
checking whether it has been included for conversion. If so convert and
print, otherwise just print the unaltered field.
(extract_fields): Removed.
(skip_fields): Removed.

a line.
(process_field): New function that wraps the field conversion logic
(include_field): New function that checks whether a field should be
converted

New global variable all_fields indicates whether all fields should be
processed.
New global variable all_fields_after stores the first field of a N-
style range.

style range.
New global variable field_list stores explicitly specified fields to
process (N N,M or N-M style specifiers).
(usage): Document newly supported field range specifiers.
* bootstrap.conf: Include xlist and linked-list modules. numfmt now
uses the gl_linked_list implementation to store the field ranges.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Add tests for 'cut style' field ranges.
Adjust existing tests as partial output can occur before an error
Remove test for the 'invalid' field -5.. this is now a valid range.

* src/numfmt.c (unit_to_umax): Support SI (power of 10) suffixes
with the --from-unit and --to-unit options. Treat suffixes like
is done with --from=auto, which for example will change the meaning
of --to-unit=G to that of --to-unit=Gi. The suffix support was
previously undocumented and it's better to avoid the traditional
coreutils suffix handling in numfmt by default.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document the new behavior. Also fix a typo
mentioning {from,to}=units=.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
|
|
* src/timeout.c (cleanup): Don't send SIGCONT to the monitored program
when --foreground is specified, as it's generally not needed for
foreground programs, and can cause intermittent signal delivery
issues with monitors like GDB for example.
* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Mention that SIGCONT
is not sent with --foreground.
* NEWS: Mention the behavior change.

Supporting `split --numeric-suffixes=1 -n100` for example.
* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Mention the two
use cases for the FROM parameter, and the consequences on
the suffix length determination.
* src/split.c (set_suffix_length): Use the --numeric-suffixes
FROM parameter in the suffix width calculation, when it's
less than the number of files specified in --number.
* tests/split/suffix-auto-length.sh: Add test cases.

* src/wc.c (usage): State that it calculates display width.
* doc/coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Detail the distinct
items used to determine the display width.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (truncate invocation): The word 'their' is
incorrect; 'each file' is the antecedent, and is singular,
so 'its' is the correct pronoun.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention that when copying files
without preserving permissions, the umask or a default ACL affect
the mode of new files.
* THANKS.in: Remove committer.

* doc/coreutils.texi: `mkfifo' and `mknod' use the optContext macro
which adds a description for the SELinux security context in addition to
the single option already described in each case. The result in both
cases is two options being introduced as `option' (singular). Fix this
by introducing them as `options' (plural).
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi: Move numfmt info to this section,
as numfmt functionality aligns more with seq and factor,
than fmt and pr etc.

tee is very often used with pipes and this gives better control
when writing to them. There are 3 classes of file descriptors
that tee can write to: files(1), pipes(2), and early close pipes(3).
Handling write errors to 1 & 2 is supported at present with the caveat
that failure writing to any pipe will terminate tee immediately.
Handling write errors to type 3 is not currently supported.
To improve the supported combinations we add these options:
--write-error=warn
Warn if error writing any output including pipes.
Allows continued writing to still open files/pipes.
Exit status is failure if any output had error.
--write-error=warn-nopipe, -p
Warn if error writing any output except pipes.
Allows continued writing to still open files/pipes.
Exit status is failure if any non pipe output had error.
--write-error=exit
Exit if error writing any output including pipes.
--write-error=exit-nopipe
Exit if error writing any output except pipes.
Use the "nopipe" variants when files are of types 1 and 3, otherwise
use the standard variants with types 1 and 2. A caveat with the above
scheme is that a combination of pipe types (2 & 3) is not supported
robustly. I.e. if you use the "nopipe" variants when using both type
2 and 3 pipes, then any "real" errors on type 2 pipes will not be
diagnosed.
Note also a general issue with type 3 pipes that are not on tee's
stdout, is that shell constructs don't allow to distinguish early
close from real failures. For example `tee >(head -n1) | grep -m1 ..`
can't distinguish between an error or an early close in "head" pipe,
while the fail on the grep part of the pipe is distinguished
independently from the resulting pipe errors. This is a general
issue with the >() construct, rather than with tee itself.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Describe the new option.
* src/tee.c (usage): Likewise.
(main): With --write-error ignore SIGPIPE, and handle
the various exit, diagnostics combinations.
* tests/misc/tee.sh: Tess all the new options.

Since v5.2.1-1247-g8dafbe5, tee(1) treated '-' as stdout while POSIX
explicitly requires to treat this as a file name. Revert this change,
as the interleaved output - due to sending another copy of input to
stdout - is not considered to be useful. Discussed in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2015-02/msg00085.html
* src/tee.c (tee_files): Remove the special handling for "-" operands.
(usage): Remove the corresponding sentence.
* doc/coreutils.texi (common options): Remove the "tee -" example.
(tee invocation): Document that tee(1) now treats "-" as a file name.
* tests/misc/tee.sh: Add a test case for "tee -".
While at it, re-indent the above multi-argument processing case and
extend that to 13 operands, as POSIX mandates that, too.
* tests/misc/tee-dash.sh: Remove now-obsolete test.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Remove the above test.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention the change.

To align with all other places (and correct grammar), change all
upper-case "I.E." to "I.e.". Furthermore, ensure that "i.e." is
followed by a comma. Finally, ensure to use a double-space before
"I.e.," at the beginning of a sentence.
The following was used to change all offending uses (apart from
old ChangeLog files):
$ git grep -liF 'i.e.' \

The equivalent of this is 'flush', but that was never documented
as an option (though was output with stty -a). Therefore use
the more descriptive name, also generally used on BSD systems.
Note even though this setting seems ineffective on Linux, supporting
the setting is useful to allow terminal programs to receive
the default ^O character code.

Since commit v8.22-94-g99960ee, chroot(1) skips the chroot(2) syscall
for "/" arguments (and synonyms). The problem is that it also skips
the following chdir("/") call in that case. The latter breaks existing
scripts which expect "/" to be the working directory inside the chroot.
While the first part of the change - i.e., skipping chroot("/") - is
okay for consistency with systems where it might succeed for a non-root
user, the second part might be malicious, e.g.
cd /home/user && chroot '/' bin/foo
In the "best" case, chroot(1) could not execute 'bin/foo' with ENOENT,
but in the worst case, chroot(1) would execute '/home/user/bin/foo' in
the case that exists - instead of '/bin/foo'.
Revert that second part of the patch, i.e., perform the chdir("/)
in the common case again - unless the new --skip-chdir option is
specified. Restrict this new option to the case of "/" arguments.
* src/chroot.c (SKIP_CHDIR): Add enum.
(long_opts): Add entry for the new --skip-chdir option.
(usage): Add --skip-chdir option, and while at it, move the other
to options into alphabetical order.
(main): Accept the above new option, allowing it only in the case
when NEWROOT is the old "/".
Move down the chdir() call after the if-clause to ensure it is
run in any case - unless --skip-chdir is specified.
Add a 'newroot' variable for the new root directory as it is used
in a couple of places now.
* tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Invert the last tests which check the
working directory of the execvp()ed program when a "/"-like
argument was passed: now expect it to be "/" - unless --skip-chdir
is given.

Add the --enable-single-binary option to the configure file.
When enabled, this option builds a single binary file containing
the selected tools. Which tool gets executed depends on the value
of argv[0] which can be set implicitly through symlinks to the
single program.
This setup reduces significantly the size of a complete coreutils
install, since code from lib/libcoreutils.a is not duplicated in
every one of the more than 100 binaries. Runtime overhead is
increased due to more dynamic libraries being loaded, and extra
initialization being performed for all utils. Also initially
a larger binary is loaded from storage, though this is usually
alleviated due to caching and lazy mmaping of unused blocks,
and in fact the single binary should have better caching
characteristics.
Comparing the size of the individual versus single binary on x86_64:
$ cd src
$ size coreutils
$ size -t $(../build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh --list-progs |
grep -Ev '(coreutils|libstdbuf)') | tail -n1
text data bss dec hex filename
1097416 5388 88432 1191236 122d44 src/coreutils
4901010 124964 163768 5189742 4f306e (TOTALS)
Storage requirements are reduced similarly:
$ cd src
$ du -h coreutils
$ du -ch $(../build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh --list-progs |
grep -Ev '(coreutils|libstdbuf)') | tail -n1
1.2M coreutils
5.3M total
When installing, the makefile will create either symlinks or
shebangs based on the --enable-single-binary setting, for
each configured tool. In this way, all the tools are still
callable individually, but they are all implemented by the same
"coreutils" binary installed on the same directory.
