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.
2001-08-31copyrightJim Meyering
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

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'.

[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.

the same and the file descriptors correspond to stdin and stdout. This is necessary on at least Digital UNIX (aka OSF1) 3.2C. Otherwise, running `cat << X > $$' would fail with `cat: -: input file is output file'. From Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@epsilon.hut.fi>.
1995-10-31(usage, next_line_num, main): Protoize.Jim Meyering
