2006-07-17 | chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits | Paul Eggert | |
of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly. install and mkdir now implement X correctly. install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without changing their owner or group. | |||
2006-07-17 | (Mode Structure): Modernize the explanation of the | Paul Eggert | |
setuid and setgid bits on directories. (Changing Special Mode Bits): Mention that a implies both u and g for s. Cross reference to new node. (Numeric Modes): Don't claim that 0055 is the same as 55; this isn't true any more. Mention new node. 4755 is now like u=rwxs,go=rx,g-s, not like u=rwxs,go=rx. (Directory Setuid and Setgid): New node. | |||
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 | * Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Enforce the zeros vs. zeroes consistency. | Jim Meyering | |
2006-07-08 | * coreutils.texi: Fix some typos. Use `zeros' consistently (both | Jim Meyering | |
`zeros' and `zeroes' are correct). | |||
2006-07-01 | With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f' | Paul Eggert | |
only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. | |||
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 defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not lose | Paul Eggert | |
information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers. You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623', for example, since the default format now has the same effect. seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats. seq now uses long double internally rather than double. | |||
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 | * coreutils.texi (sort invocation): 'sort +1 -2' is now supported | Paul Eggert | |
even when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001. | |||
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. | |||
2006-06-12 | (check-texinfo): Use $(_W) and $(W_) instead of | Paul Eggert | |
assuming grep -w (which is not portable). | |||
2006-05-27 | *** empty log message *** | Jim Meyering | |
2006-05-27 | Use `AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS' rather than | Jim Meyering | |
overwriting `MAKEINFO', so that `missing' can do its job. | |||
2006-05-27 | *** empty log message *** | Jim Meyering | |
2006-05-27 | (check-texinfo): Use literal `{' only in brackets, i.e., [{] or [}], | Jim Meyering | |
to avoid triggering an error from Solaris 2.6's grep. | |||
2006-05-27 | *** empty log message *** | Jim Meyering | |
2006-05-27 | Use `$(EGREP)' instead of `grep -E'. | Jim Meyering | |
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. | |||

2006-04-17 | Document filemode changes. | Paul Eggert | |
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 | *** empty log message *** | Jim Meyering | |
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 | Add 'hostid' to System context menu line. | Paul Eggert | |
2006-04-09 | (Top): Fix typo in System context menu entry: hostid wasn't mentioned. | Paul Eggert | |
