2005-04-28(Mode Structure, Changing Special Permissions):Paul Eggert
(Conditional Executability, Numeric Modes): These days the sticky bit is more often uses as the restricted deletion flag, so modernize the discussion about this. (Mode Structure): Linux/GNU -> GNU/Linux. (Symbolic Modes): Don't imply that "+ur" or "u" is valid. (Setting Permissions): Don't imply that "+t" is invalid. Use "rwx" rather than the less-common "rxw" in an example. (Copying Permissions): Say that ugo is a replacement for a string of the other letters. Add spaces around examples. Use "set-user-ID" rather than "set user ID" to avoid ambiguity. Use "+t" rather than "o+t", since POSIX doesn't specify the latter. Mention which combinations are portable and which are GNU. (Numeric Modes): Don't imply they aren't portable; they are nowadays.

(fold invocation): -WIDTH works even when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001. (head invocation, tail invocation): Likewise for -NUM. (split invocation): Likewise for -LINES. (uniq invocation): Likewise for -N. (expand invocation, unexpand invocation): Likewise for -TAB. (nice invocation): Likewise for -ADJUSTMENT. (sort invocation): Clarify explanation of +N option. (uniq invocation): Likewise. (join invocation): Remove special case for --help, --version. (touch invocation): Clarify explanation of date options. (Options for date): -I timespec -> -I[timespec].
2005-04-24* coreutils.texi (install invocation): Use a= instead of 0 forPaul Eggert
the point of departure for -m, and explain what it meeams. (mkdir invocation, mkfifo invocation, mknod invocation): The umask does not affect the point of departure.
2005-04-12For consistency, standardize on "user ID" rather than "uid".Paul Eggert
