2004-09-21Remove unused "case 0".Paul Eggert
2004-08-19(usage): "chown '' file" is now allowed.Paul Eggert
(main): Do not set user name to the empty string if the group name is null.
2004-07-28(main): int -> bool when appropriate.Paul Eggert
2004-06-21(main): Standardize on the diagnostics given when someone givesJim Meyering
too few operands ("missing operand after `xxx'") or too many operands ("extra operand `xxx'"). Include "quote.h" and/or "error.h" if it wasn't already being included.
2004-06-08(main): Check for incompatible options. -R --dereferenceJim Meyering
requires either -H or -L, and -R -h requires -P. If -H, specify FTS_PHYSICAL as well as FTS_COMFOLLOW; this is faster. Make this file as much like chgrp.c as possible.
2004-05-17chgrp and chown now dereference symlinks by default, per POSIX.Jim Meyering
(usage): Update to reflect this.
2004-01-21(usage): Use EXIT_SUCCESS, not 0, for clarity.Jim Meyering
(main): Removed unused local 'fail'.
2003-11-09Support new options: --preserve-root and --no-preserve-root.Jim Meyering
2003-10-18Most .c files (AUTHORS): Revert the WRITTEN_BY/AUTHORS changeJim Meyering
of 2003-09-19. Now, AUTHORS is a comma-separated list of strings. Update the call to parse_long_options so that `AUTHORS, NULL' are the last parameters. * src/true.c (main): Append NULL to version_etc argument list. * src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Likewise.
2003-10-16(main): Simply assign to bit_flags.Jim Meyering
Don't bother with bit arithmetic. Rename a couple of local variables. Remove unnecessary casts.
2003-10-15chown now accepts POSIX-mandated -H, -L, -P options and usesJim Meyering
fts to perform a directory traversal when -R is specified. Before, it used explicit recursion, and as such was limited by the user's stack size to handling hierarchies no deeper than about 30,000 levels. Include "userspec.h" and "fts_.h". (WRITTEN_BY): Add my name. (getpwnam, getgrnam, getgrgid): Remove declarations. (endpwent): Remove definition. (usage): Update (main): Handle new options. Call new function, chown_files rather than change_file_owner.

Include the word `fail' in some diagnostics to make it clearer that they indicate a failure. s/getting attributes/failed to get attributes/
2001-12-02Use new macros, HELP_OPTION_DESCRIPTION and VERSION_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONJim Meyering

2001-11-23Split usage strings so that --help and --versionJim Meyering
descriptions are alone in their own string.
2001-11-23(usage): Split --help output into smaller pieces.Jim Meyering
Use fputs, not printf.
2001-09-15(main): Don't strip trailing slashes; POSIX doesn't allow it here.Jim Meyering

2000-12-09(change_file_owner): Restore special file permissionJim Meyering
bits, since calling chown resets them on some systems. Reported by Matt Perry.
2000-07-30Convert "`%s'" in format strings to "%s", and wrap eachJim Meyering
corresponding argument in a `quote (...)' call. Add more precise diagnostics.
2000-07-25(change_file_owner): Save errno from a possibly failed chown,Jim Meyering
