* src/df.c (struct devlist): Add new struct for storing already-
examined device numbers.
(devlist_head): Add new store of the above type.
(show_rootfs): Add new global boolean to not skip rootfs.
(dev_examined): Add new function to check if the device has
already been traversed.
(get_dev): Filter out rootfs unless "-t rootfs" or the -a
option is specified. Filter out duplicate entries by calling
the above new dev_examined unless the -a option is specified.
(main): Set the show_rootfs variable appropriately when the -t
option is specified for rootfs. Free device list (guarded by
IF_LINT).
* tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Add test to exercise the skipping
of duplicate entries.
* tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh: Add test to exercise the skipping
of the rootfs pseudo file system.
* tests/local.mk: Add the above new tests.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention the changes.
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Document df's behavior about
skipping rootfs and duplicate entries.
Co-authored-by: Bernhard Voelker.

* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Enhance documentation
of the --preserve=xattr option regarding the preservation
of ACLs, SELinux contexts and capabilities: the user may
notice this only when not specifying --preserve=mode
and --preserve=context, too, i.e., otherwise, these attributes
are preserved anyway.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Reference
the bash manual rather than bashref, as the latter
is more likely to work on newer systems.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (nice invocation): Ensure there is no
ambiguity in the summary in relation to nice being able
to adjust the niceness of an existing process.
Reference the renice command.
* man/nice.x: Reference renice (1)

As the inodes information is usually not so much of interest,
and some file systems including btrfs do not even provide it,
reading of the full df --output is easier when the block
statistic fields come just left of the last field, the mount
point.
* src/df.c (all_args_string): Move the inodes fields before
the block fields.
(usage): Likewise.
* tests/df/df-output.sh: Likewise.
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Likewise. Additionally,
explicitly mention the default order of the --output option.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Mention JCL.
|
|
These were missed in this related change v8.14-104-g44e20cd
* src/chcon.c (usage): Mention the two --preserve-root options.
* doc/coreutils.texi (chcon invocation): Plus the --dereferece option.
|
|
* src/cp.c (usage): Replace "redundant" with "ignored".
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Likewise.
|
|
* src/df.c (usage): Add a short description of --output and its
available field names for use in the optional argument.
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Add the new option with more
details and a few examples.
* NEWS (New features): Mention the new option.
(Changes in behvaior): Mention the new placeholder for fields
in the "total" line.

It's useful for commands that support running for an indeterminite
amount of time, to not return a specific timeout exit status (124),
and instead let the command handle the timeout signal and return
a status for the work done so far.
* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Describe the new option.
* src/timeout.c (preserve_status): A new global boolean to
enable the --preserve-status behavior.
(usage): Describe the new option.
(main): Don't return EXIT_TIMEOUT of preserve_status is set.
* tests/misc/timeout.sh: Add a test for the new option.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Remove Cheshire Cat.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (nice invocation): s/nicenesses/niceness values/
|
|
* src/dd.c (STATUS_NONE): A new bitmask combining all STATUS_
options, thus used to suppress all informational output.
(struct symbol_value statuses): Expose the "none" option,
corresponding to the STATUS_NONE bitmask above.
(print_stats): Return early if STATUS_NONE is specified.
Also move the call to gethrxtime() down so that it's only
called when needed.
(usage): Describe the new options.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* tests/dd/misc.sh: Ensure the new option works.

The renaming from BLOCKS to N was done in v8.15-38-g140eca1,
and documentation for N was added again in v8.17-26-g4f2e9d5
without noticing that. Now, finally remove the word BLOCKS
from the documentation.
* src/dd.c (usage): Remove the word BLOCKS.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Likewise.
Improved by: Bernhard Voelker <mail@bernhard-voelker.de>
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (seq invocation): Update an example and mention
that with the new constraints, seq can print arbitrarily large numbers.
|
|
* doc/.gitinore: Here, adding the '.dirstamp' file generated by
the Texinfo rules.
|
|
We may well want to switch from checking all *.texi to
checking only version-controlled .texi files, so encapsulate
this concept in one place.
* doc/local.mk (doc_srcdir): Delete. Use this instead:
(texi_files): Define. All usages adjusted.
|
|
* doc/Makefile.am: Rename ...
* doc/local.mk: ... like this. With further adjustments ...
(info_TEXINFOS): Prepend 'doc/' to all '*.texi' files listed in
here.
(coreutils_TEXINFOS): Likewise, and rename ...
(doc_coreutils_TEXINFOS): ... like this.
(constants.texi): Rename ...
(doc/constants.texi): ... like this. Adjust the recipe to avoid
spurious errors.
(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Adjust, and extend with '+=' rather than
setting it with '='.
(ME): Delete.
(find_upper_case_var): Use '$@', not '$(ME)', in error messages.
* Makefile.am: Include 'doc/local.mk'.
(SUBDIRS): Remove 'doc'.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove 'doc/Makefile'.
|
|
* doc/Makefile.am (check-local): Here, by making this depend
on 'check-texinfo' ...
(check): ... rather than this. While the old usage worked, it
did so for an implementation detail rather than a documented
behaviour, so relying on that was riskier a "unclean".
|
|
This is just a preparatory refactoring that will become useful in
a future change (in which the doc/Makefile.am makefile will be merged
with the top-level one).
* doc/Makefile.am (doc_srcdir): New, define to '$(top_srcdir)/doc'.
Use it throughout instead of "bare" '$(srcdir)'.
|
|
* doc/Makefile.am (coreutils_TEXINFO): List them here, instead of ...
(EXTRA_DIST): ... listing them here. This ensures the rebuild rules
will be more faithful.
($(DVIS), $(INFO_DEPS)): No need to depend on $(EXTRA_DIST) now.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi: Remove all uses of @acronym{...},
per recommendation by Karl Berry.
* doc/perm.texi: Likewise.
* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove exemption, enabling
the @acronym{-prohibiting syntax-check rule.
|
|
* doc/Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Remove POSIX-checking part.
|

The format used is the BSD traditional format which looks like:
MD5 (/dev/null) = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

Add new option to rm (-d/--dir), which allows removal of
empty directories, while still safely disallowing removal
of non-empty ones.
This improves compatibility with Mac OS X and BSD systems,
which honor the -d option.
* src/remove.c (rm_fts): Remove empty directories when requested.
* src/remove.h (rm_options) [remove_empty_directories]: New member.
* src/rm.c (long_opts, usage, main): Update usage and option parsing.
(rm_option_init): Initialize the new member.
* src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize the new member.
* tests/rm/d-1: New test case - successfully delete empty dir.
* tests/rm/d-2: New test case - refuse to delete nonempty dir.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
|
|
* src/df.c (main): Add conditions to fail when the mount list cannot
be read: this includes the cases when a file name argument is given
and any of -a, -l, -t or -x is used.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document the additional error conditions.
* tests/df/no-mtab-status: Add a new test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

Or rather, with the development version 4.13.90, which will eventually
become Texinfo 5.0.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Use '@item' instead of '@itemx' in several places,
as Texinfo 5 refuses to process an '@itemx' that is not preceded by an
'@item'. Ensure that node extended names in menus and sectioning are
consistent, and that ordering and presence of nodes in menus and in the
actual text are consistent as well.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/11828
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (touch invocation, Time conversion specifiers)
(Options for date, Examples of date): Index "leap seconds" and
improve their documentation a bit.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi: Use right amount of spacing after punctuation.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Make the backup script exit
with an accurate reflection of any failure.
Also, add --preserve=all.

With the "--relative --symbolic" options, ln computes the relative
symbolic link for the user.
So, ln works just as cp, but creates relative symbolic links instead
of copying the file.
I miss this feature since the beginning of using ln.

For compatibility with MacOS relpath(1), as seen here:
http://opensource.apple.com/source/bootstrap_cmds/\
bootstrap_cmds-79/relpath.tproj/relpath.c
we implemented 'realpath --relative-base=dir1 --relative-to=dir2 file'
in the same way as 'relpath -d dir1 dir2 file'. This can result
in --relative-base rendering --relative-to as a no-op if dir1 is a
child of dir2. Document this.
* doc/coreutils.texi (realpath invocation): Mention restriction.
|
|
Most of the time, if someone wants to filter which paths are
relative while leaving all others absolute, they also want to
to the filtering based on the same --relative-to directory.
Make this easier to specify.
* src/realpath.c (main): Convert error to default.
* doc/coreutils.texi (realpath invocation): Document this.
* tests/misc/realpath: Adjust test to match.

|
|
* src/split.c (next_file_name): If `suffix_auto' is true and the first
suffix character is 'z', generate a new file file name adding `z' to
the prefix and increasing the suffix length by one.
(set_suffix_length): Disable auto suffix width in various cases.
* tests/split/suffix-auto-length: Test it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Mention it.
* NEWS (Improvements): Likewise.
|
|
doc/coreutils.texi (basename invocation): Add -z option documentation.

main() that performs the basename work on a STRING, optionally
removes a trailing SUFFIX and outputs the result.

* test/misc/basename: Add new options test cases.
* NEWS (New features): Mention it.
