2004-07-30(make_path, make_dir): Use bool, not int, since we're not setting errno.Paul Eggert
Use mode_t for modes, not int. All uses changed. (errno): Remove decl; no longer needed since we assume C89.
2004-06-19Remove all S_IS* and S_IF* definitions.Jim Meyering
Instead, just include "stat-macros.h".
2003-09-10Include makepath.h first, to test interface.Jim Meyering
Include <stdlib.h> and <string.h> unconditionally.
2003-07-12(make_path): Enclose diagnostic in _(...).Jim Meyering
2003-06-18Merge in change from gnulib.Jim Meyering
Remove block of alloca-related code in favor of an unconditional `#include <alloca.h>'.
2003-06-18remove bogus commentJim Meyering
2003-03-04(CLEANUP_CWD): Call error here, now that restore_cwd no longer does it.Jim Meyering
2003-01-11Don't test HAVE_ERRNO_H. It's not necessary.Jim Meyering
2002-11-23Include gettext.h instead of <libintl.h>.Jim Meyering
2002-09-28(make_path): Restore umask *before* creating the final component.Jim Meyering
2002-09-22(make_path): Minor reformatting.Jim Meyering
2002-03-10(make_path): Remove a comma from a diagnostic.Jim Meyering
2001-05-12Include dirname.h.Jim Meyering
(strip_trailing_slashes): Remove decl; now in dirname.h.
2000-11-05(make_dir): Remove `static' attribute.Jim Meyering
Tweak a comment.
2000-07-30(make_path): Quote the other instance, too.Jim Meyering
2000-07-15Include quote.h.Jim Meyering
(make_path): Convert "`%s'" in format strings to "%s", and wrap each corresponding argument in a `quote (...)' call. Give better diagnostics.
2000-05-22Remove old, now-unnecessary `#ifdef __MSDOS__' block.Jim Meyering
2000-04-27tweak commentJim Meyering
2000-04-26(S_IRWXUGO): Define.Jim Meyering
(make_path): Always perform explicit chmod if MODE specifies any of the `special' permission bits.
1999-12-13(make_path): Consistently use error to outputJim Meyering
the verbose, `created directory ...' messages. Reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer.
1999-11-11(make_path): Fix long-latent bug (note othersJim Meyering
just like it were fixed in 1998-01-02). A user (FIXME, who?) reported that using `install -d -g foo 1/2` only sets the group on the intermediate directory, not the final component. From Michael Stone.
1999-05-06(make_dir): When reporting a mkdir failure and theJim Meyering
target cannot be `stat'ed, use the errno from the failed mkdir call, not the one from the stat call. Before this change, running `mkdir -p /no-dir/no-dir' as an unprivileged user would wrongly elicit `No such file or directory' instead of `Permission denied'.
1999-05-05Include makepath.h libintl.h, not after it.Jim Meyering
Otherwise, we'd get the wrong definition of PARAMS from libintl.h. (The method of defining PARAMS in libintl.h doesn't check PROTOTYPES, which is necessary on Irix4 since cc doesn't define __STDC__.) From Kaveh Ghazi.
1999-04-26(make_path): Use proper mode_t types and macros.Jim Meyering
Don't assume the traditional Unix values for mode bits. (S_ISUID, S_ISGID, S_ISVTX, S_IRUSR, S_IRWXU): Define if not defined.
1999-01-02Include locale.h and libintl.h, and define `_()'.Jim Meyering
Mark translatable strings.
1999-01-02(make_dir): New function, factored out of make_path.Jim Meyering
(make_path): Use make_dir rather than open-coding it twice. This effectively reverses the order of the latter pair of stat/mkdir calls and fixes a race condition bug whereby one of two concurrent `mkdir -p' processes could fail with EEXIST.
1998-02-11Add my comment from ChangeLog entry for gkm's change.Jim Meyering
1998-01-10(make_path): Reformat 3 if-stmts to test `if (newly_created_dir)' only once.Jim Meyering
Suggestion from Andreas Schwab.
1998-01-10(make_path): Put only newly created directories on the LEADING_DIRS list.Jim Meyering
1998-01-02(make_path): Try to change ownership only if we've just created theJim Meyering
directory. Fix latent bug (s/&&/||/ in two places -- also, note that it could not be exercised via install or mkdir) whereby chown would not be invoked when only one of owner/group is not -1.
1997-12-28(make_path) [!__STDC__]: Remove K&R-style definition.Jim Meyering
1997-10-06(make_path): Print verbose message using fprintf, not error.Jim Meyering
1997-10-06(make_path): Print message IFF the directory wasJim Meyering
just created and the format string is non-NULL.
1997-07-09(make_path): Chdir to `/' before starting if necessary.Jim Meyering
Call save_cwd before while loop rather than from first iteration inside it.
1997-07-09Add comments.Jim Meyering
1997-07-01(make_path): Reorder stat-then-mkdir-if-missingJim Meyering
calls so that mkdir is called first. Before make_path would first `stat' a directory, then call mkdir if it didn't exist. But if some other process created the directory between the stat & mkdir, the mkdir would fail with EEXIST. Diagnosis and suggestion from Greg McGary.
1997-06-15Rewrite using save-cwd.c and chdir to remove quadratic component of complexity.Jim Meyering
Before, it processed O(n^2) directory name components via stat and mkdir. Now it's O(n). This makes mkdir -p a lot more efficient when creating directories with very many components. On a Linux 2.0.30 ext2fs filesystem this command: mkdir -p `perl -e 'print "a/" x 500'` now runs in 0.77 seconds (user+sys). Contrast that with the 9.5(!) seconds it took before.
