* doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): @itemx -> @item.
|
|
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.

main(): Process new option. Replace input_numbers_option_used()
with a local variable. Re-organize argument processing.
usage(): Describe the new option.
(write_random_numbers): A new function to generate a
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.
* tests/misc/shuf.sh: Add tests for --repetitions option.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Mention --repetitions, add examples.
* TODO: Mention an optimization to avoid needing to
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.
* doc/coreutils.texi (truncate invocation): Likewise. Also cross
reference the --io-blocks option.
Reported in http://bugs.gnu.org/14686

|
* src/du.c (usage): Clarify that --separate-dirs doesn't exclude
all directories.
* doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Avoid implying that -S
excludes the size of any non directory entries for a directory.
Also don't mention st_size as it's dependent on --apparent-size.

* doc/coreutils.texi (Putting the tools together): Adjust the
textutils-1.22 URL, and add a URL for newer sources.

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.
* NEWS: Mention new feature.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (ln invocation): Describe how symlinks are
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.
Reported in http://bugs.gnu.org/13947
|
|
* src/stat.c (usage): Mention that the values are only
defined for character and block special files.
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Likewise.
Also mention st_rdev.
Reported in http://bugs.gnu.org/13927

|
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Mention that numfmt
can achieve the same results with a possibly more accurate sort.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (detailmenu): Remove the redundant numfmt heading.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* NEWS: Mention join's new option: --zero-terminated (-z).
* src/join.c: Add new option, --zero-terminated (-z), to make
join use the NUL byte as separator/delimiter rather than newline.
(get_line): Use readlinebuffer_delim in place of readlinebuffer.
(main): Handle the new option.
(usage): Describe new option the same way sort does.
* doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Describe the new option.
* tests/misc/join.pl: add tests for -z option.
|
|
* src/numfmt.c (usage): Correct synopsis and make command description
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.
This addresses http://bugs.gnu.org/13681.

* doc/coreutils.texi (tac invocation): Document how to reverse a
file character by character. Break out MS-DOS into a separate
section, like 'cat' does.

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.
|
|
* src/du.c (usage): Bring options into alphabetical order.
* doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Likewise.
Furthermore, use the @itemx macro for the long options
--max-depth and --threshold instead of @item.
|
|
* src/du.c (opt_threshold): Add variable to hold the value of
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.
* doc/coreutils.texi (readlink invocation): Document the
new --zero option, adjust the --no-newline description, and
tweak the general info to indicate multiple files are supported.
* tests/readlink/multi.sh: A new test for the new functionality.

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

the block fields.
(usage): Likewise.
