2002-07-02(usage): Use the PACKAGE_BUGREPORT e-mail address, rather than hard-coding it.Jim Meyering
2002-02-23(simple_cat, cat, main): Used char * rather thanJim Meyering
unsigned char *, to avoid some technical violations of the C standard, and to avoid the need for casts. I guess the unsigned char * was probably there for improved performance with ancient compilers, but the code wasn't using the unsignedness any more. Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. (cat): int -> size_t for full_write arg. This doesn't fix any bugs since the buffer size is small, but it makes the code a bit clearer.
2001-12-01Reflect renaming to, and new usage of these macros:Jim Meyering
HELP_OPTION_DESCRIPTION and VERSION_OPTION_DESCRIPTION.
2001-12-01(usage): Use new macros, EMIT_HELP_DESCRIPTION and EMIT_VERSION_DESCRIPTIONJim Meyering
instead of hard-coding --help and --version descriptions.
2001-11-26(cat): Don't test whether the full_write return value (of type size_t)Jim Meyering
is less than 0. Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe, as a warning from Irix 6.5's C compiler.
2001-11-23Factor out some common strings to make translation easier.Jim Meyering
Split usage strings so that --help and --version descriptions are alone in their own string. Likewise for the one that says: Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
2001-11-11(usage): Split --help output into smaller pieces.Jim Meyering
Use fputs, not printf.

2001-08-31Include full-write.h.Jim Meyering
(full_write): Remove decl; not needed. (simple_cat, cat): Don't assume read and write size fits in int.
2001-08-13(AUTHORS): Mark string for translation, since it contains the English word ↵Jim Meyering
`and'.
2000-10-21The command, `yes ''|./cat -n' would stop printing after INT_MAX lines.Jim Meyering
(cat): Never let `newlines' exceed 3.
2000-10-21Prevent a counter buffer overrun when numbering lines and whenJim Meyering
processing 100 billion lines (or more) of input. (LINE_COUNTER_BUF_LEN): Define to allow numbering as many as 10^18 - 1 lines (the old limit was 10^11 - 1, and could be exceeded without too much trouble). Use this symbol rather than hard-coding the constant everywhere. Rather than overruning for input with more lines, mark the line number by putting a `>' in the leftmost slot. (next_line_num): Fixed (now academic) possible line buffer overrun. Patch by Jan Nieuwenhuizen.
2000-08-07(closeout_func): Remove variable.Jim Meyering
(close_stdout_wrapper): Remove unused function. (main): Remove assignment to closeout_func.
2000-06-22(main): Correct a comment.Jim Meyering
2000-05-27Arrange to call close_stdout upon exit.Jim Meyering
Don't close stdout explicitly. Replace uses of global constant, output_desc, with uses of STDOUT_FILENO.
1999-05-18(main): When stdout is in binary mode, make sure allJim Meyering
input files are also read in binary mode.
1999-04-13(main): Declare out_dev to be of type dev_t, not `int'.Jim Meyering
Declare out_ino to be of type ino_t, not `int'.

1999-03-04Include long-options.hJim Meyering
[long_options]: Remove the "help" and "version" entries. Remove declarations of show_help and show_version. (main): Use parse_long_options, including author name(s). Remove the show_version and show_help blocks.

1999-01-14Don't prototype usage as static.Jim Meyering
1999-01-01(usage) [O_BINARY]: Describe -B,--binary option.Jim Meyering
(main) [O_BINARY]: binary_files, binary_output, file_open_mode: new variables. Add --binary to long_options[]. Switch stdin and stdout to binary mode unless file contents are not important anyway. Open files in binary mode when required.
