2008-10-17maint: avoid warnings due to attribute warn_unused_resultJim Meyering
Now that a (void) cast no longer suffices to ignore warnings from gcc about uses of functions marked with the warn_unused_result attribute, we need an alternative. For the record, here's one of the ignorable warnings: "copy.c:233: warning: ignoring return value of 'fchown', declared with attribute warn_unused_result" * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Import ignore-value. * src/copy.c: Include "ignore-value.h". (set_owner): Use ignore_value in place of "(void)" casts, to ignore lchown and fchown failures. * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise, to ignore lchown failure. * src/remove.c (preprocess_dir): Remove unnecessary "(void)" cast.
2008-09-24cp.c: adjust a comment to make it consistent with documentationJim Meyering
'-a' is equivalent to -dpR, so s/-dpPR/-dpR/; the -P is redundant, since -d already implies -P, and both --help and "info cp" say -dpR: Corresponding doc changes: 080ac7785071c7f135711a39e57c71d9057d9bd7 b7c2db676635518c06add0dd570543ae83e21f2e.

2008-06-16remove redundant const directivesJim Meyering
In 1463824d8e7f72c31f1d803d7cfe2b608ccafc5c, I added some missing "const" directives, as well as some new, redundant ones. This removes the redundant ones. Pointed out by Eric Blake. * base64.c, cat.c, chcon.c, chgrp.c, chmod.c, chown.c, comm.c: * cp.c, csplit.c, cut.c, date.c, dd.c, df.c, dircolors.c, du.c: * env.c, expand.c, fmt.c, fold.c, groups.c, head.c, id.c: * install.c, join.c, kill.c, ln.c, ls.c, md5sum.c, mkdir.c: * mkfifo.c, mknod.c, mktemp.c, mv.c, nice.c, nl.c, od.c: * paste.c, pathchk.c, pinky.c, pr.c, ptx.c, readlink.c, rm.c: * rmdir.c, runcon.c, seq.c, shred.c, shuf.c, sort.c, split.c: * stat.c, stty.c, su.c, sum.c, tac.c, tail.c, tee.c, timeout.c: * touch.c, tr.c, truncate.c, tty.c, uname.c, unexpand.c, uniq.c: * wc.c, who.c: Remove redundant const directives. * maint.mk (sc_const_long_option): Don't require redundant "const".

Use "TRANSLATORS:" comment marker, rather than "Note to translators:". * src/system.h: Include propername.h. (proper_name): Define away. * src/Makefile.am (cat_LDADD, df_LDADD, du_LDADD, ptx_LDADD, split_LDADD): Initialize, so we can... (cat_LDADD, cp_LDADD, df_LDADD, du_LDADD, ptx_LDADD, split_LDADD): ...Use "+=" to append $(LIBICONV) for each program that uses proper_name_utf8.
2008-02-28Make copyright comments consistent.Jim Meyering
* src/mktemp.c: Update copyright to use newer form. Make first copyright lines consistent. Some did not end in ", Inc.". Due to that missing ", Inc" at end of line, emacs' copyright-updating code missed some opportunities. This corrects most of those, and adds some mistakenly omitted years. * src/chown-core.c: Adjust. * src/chown-core.h: Likewise. * src/copy.c: Likewise. * src/copy.h: Likewise. * src/cp-hash.c: Likewise. * src/cp.c: Likewise. * src/group-list.h: Likewise. * src/mktemp.c: Likewise. * src/stat.c: Likewise. * tests/chmod/equal-x: Likewise. * tests/dd/skip-seek: Likewise. * tests/envvar-check: Likewise. * tests/mv/into-self-2: Likewise.
2008-01-09Fix a minor race condition when using cp -p --parents.Paul Eggert
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): If stat fails on the parent directory, do not add it to the list of directories whose modes might need fixing later. Also, do not bother invoking 'stat' unless the stat results might be needed later.
2008-01-07cp (but not copy.c): plug a small leak.Jim Meyering
* src/cp.c (do_copy) [--parents]: Free the attribute list.
2008-01-07cp --parents: don't use uninitialized memory when restoring permissionsJan Blunck
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Always stat each source directory, in case its permissions are required in re_protect, when setting permissions of a just-created destination directory.
2007-12-01Fix a security race with "cp -p A B" when B already exists.Paul Eggert
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): New member owner_privileges. * src/copy.c (USE_ACL): Define to 0 if not defined, for convenience. (owner_failure_ok): New function. (set_owner): Avoid a security-related race by doing an extra chmod first if it looks like there might be trouble right after a chown. Accept a source struct stat rather than a uid and gid, and accept a boolean NEW_DST and destination struct stat. All callers changed. * src/copy.h (cp_options_default): New function, replacing the old chown_privileges. * src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Likewise. * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Use it. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
2007-11-24"cp -p" tries to preserve GID even if preserving the UID fails.Lasse Collin
* NEWS: Mention this new feature. * src/copy.c (set_owner): Try to preserve just the GID, when initial fchown/lchown fails. * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
2007-11-22cp: by default, refuse to copy through a dangling destination symlinkJim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention this change. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new behavior. * src/copy.c: No longer include "canonicalize.h". (copy_reg): Upon failure to open a dangling destination symlink, don't canonicalize the name, but rather fail (default) or, with POSIXLY_CORRECT, repeat the open call without O_EXCL (potentially dangerous). * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [open_dangling_dest_symlink]: New member. Reorder the others, grouping "bool" and "enum" members together. * tests/cp/thru-dangling: Test for changed and new behavior. * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Initialize new member. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2007-11-12Clarify description of cp's -a option.Benno Schulenberg
* src/cp.c (usage) [-a]: Remove unnecessary 'P'. Since option -d of 'cp' includes the function of -P, mentioning the latter in the description of option -a is redundant and therefore slightly confusing, as the reader tries to figure out what it adds.
2007-09-30cp: do not abbreviate in --help output.Jim Meyering
* src/cp.c (usage): Don't abbreviate: s/=link/=links/. Reported by Géraud Meyer in <http://bugs.debian.org/444137>. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-08-20Avoid consuming too much seekable input when yesno is used.Eric Blake
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Grab closein. * src/system.h (includes): Also include closein.h. * src/mv.c (main): Use close_stdin, not close_stdout. * src/cp.c (main): Likewise. * src/ln.c (main): Likewise. * src/rm.c (main): Likewise. * src/install.c (main): Likewise. * NEWS: Document the fix.
2007-07-23Update all copyright notices to use the newer form.Jim Meyering
2007-07-10Change "version 2" to "version 3" in all copyright notices.Jim Meyering
2007-06-18A few more symlink-related fixes. Fix a bug triggered by cpPaul Eggert
--parents and symlinks. Close some race conditions possible when the destination replaces a newly-created file with a symlink. * NEWS: Document that 'cp --parents' no longer mishandles symlinks in file name components of source. * src/copy.c (HAVE_LCHOWN): Default to false. (lchown) [!defined HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience. * src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise. * src/install.c (lchown [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise. * src/copy.c (set_owner): Use lchown instead of chown, for safety in case the file got replaced by a symlink in the meantime. * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise. * src/install.c (change_attributes): Likewise. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use ordinary C rather than an #if. * src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience. (struct dir_attr): Cache the entire struct stat of the directory, rather than just its mode, so that we needn't stat the directory twice (which can lead to races). (re_protect): Don't use XSTAT as that's not appropriate in this context (symlinks should be followed here). Instead, use the cached stat value. (make_dir_parents_private): Save dir's entire struct stat, not just its mode. * tests/cp/cp-parents: Add test to check against bug with cp --parents and symlinks.
2007-06-15Correct cp's handling of destination symlinks in some cases.Paul Eggert
* NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created file is affected, rather than the symlink. Use O_NOFOLLOW on source when not dereferencing symlinks; this avoids a race. Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the destination. (copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the destination first, regardless of whether following source symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g., FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if the system calls would ordinarily do so. * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference' is only for source files. * src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for source files. (make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether --dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks. * tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior. Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host. Use sed alone instead of also using echo. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the behavior better when the destination is a symlink. Clarify source versus destination symlinks. Describe the new behavior for destination symlinks. 2007-06-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> * src/copy.c: Include "canonicalize.h". (copy_reg): Use canonicalize_filename_mode to follow the symlink, so that we can always open with O_EXCL and avoid a race.
2007-06-13Don't include "quotearg.h" when it is not used.Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_quotearg_without_use): New rule. * src/cp.c: Don't include "quotearg.h". It wasn't used.
2007-03-29* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: New file. Test for the bug reported inJim Meyering
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-a-selinux. * tests/selinux: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add selinux. * tests/misc/selinux: Source the new script, rather than open coding it. Change how "cp -a" and "cp --preserve=context" work with SELinux. Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does not change cp's exit status. However "cp --preserve=context" is similar, but failure *does* cause cp to exit with nonzero status. * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [require_preserve_context]: New member. * src/copy.c (copy_reg, copy_internal): Implement the above. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Initialize the new member. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. (decode_preserve_arg): Set it or reset it. FIXME: add an on-writable-NFS-only test
2007-03-29cp, mv, install: add SELinux support, but unlike with the Red HatJim Meyering
patch, mv and cp do not provide the "-Z context" option. * src/copy.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>. (restore_default_fscreatecon): New function. (copy_reg): Make cp --preserve=context work for existing destination. (copy_internal): Likewise for new destinations. * src/copy.h (cp_options) [preserve_security_context]: New member. * src/cp.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>. (selinux_enabled): New global. (usage): Mention new --preserve=context option. (PRESERVE_CONTEXT): Define/use. (decode_preserve_arg): Handle PRESERVE_CONTEXT. (main): Remove an obsolete comment. If --preserve=context is specified on a system without SELinux enabled, give a diagnostic and fail. * src/mv.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>. Set x->preserve_security_context if SELinux is enabled. * src/install.c: Accept new "-Z, --context=C" option. Accept --preserve-context option (but not -P option). Accept alternate spelling: --preserve_context, for now. Include <selinux/selinux.h> and "quotearg.h". (selinux_enabled, use_default_selinux_context): New globals. (PRESERVE_CONTEXT_OPTION): Define. (cp_option_init): Default: do not preserve security context. (setdefaultfilecon): New function. (main): Honor new options. * src/Makefile.am (mv_LDADD, cp_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): Add $(LIB_SELINUX).
2007-03-28Help translators include translation team's web or email address.Jim Meyering
* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): New function. * src/base64.c: Use it rather than a literal printf. * src/basename.c, src/cat.c, src/chgrp.c, src/chmod.c: * src/chown.c, src/chroot.c, src/cksum.c, src/comm.c, src/cp.c: * src/csplit.c, src/cut.c, src/date.c, src/dd.c, src/df.c: * src/dircolors.c, src/dirname.c, src/du.c, src/echo.c, src/env.c: * src/expand.c, src/expr.c, src/factor.c, src/fmt.c, src/fold.c: * src/head.c, src/hostid.c, src/hostname.c, src/id.c, src/install.c: * src/join.c, src/kill.c, src/link.c, src/ln.c, src/logname.c: * src/ls.c, src/md5sum.c, src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: * src/mv.c, src/nice.c, src/nl.c, src/nohup.c, src/od.c: * src/paste.c, src/pathchk.c, src/pinky.c, src/pr.c, src/printenv.c: * src/printf.c, src/ptx.c, src/pwd.c, src/readlink.c, src/rm.c: * src/rmdir.c, src/seq.c, src/setuidgid.c, src/shred.c, src/shuf.c: * src/sleep.c, src/sort.c, src/split.c, src/stat.c, src/stty.c: * src/su.c, src/sum.c, src/sync.c, src/system.h, src/tac.c: * src/tail.c, src/tee.c, src/test.c, src/touch.c, src/tr.c: * src/true.c, src/tsort.c, src/tty.c, src/uname.c, src/unexpand.c: * src/uniq.c, src/unlink.c, src/uptime.c, src/users.c, src/wc.c: * src/who.c, src/whoami.c, src/yes.c: Likewise.
2007-02-03* NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.Paul Eggert
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is created. * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise. * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode" race fix in copy.c.
2007-02-03* NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.Paul Eggert
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with "cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not creating the directory, DEST/DIR. * tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed by the above change.
2006-12-06* NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.Paul Eggert
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod. * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function. (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed. Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT. When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions were omitted, chmod them back in. (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions at first, then restore them after chowning the file. * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise. * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function. * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
2006-10-18* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater thanPaul Eggert
7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir. * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
2006-09-08mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two argumentsJim Meyering
where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B, now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27 change for 5.3.0. * NEWS: Say the above. * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here) that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument. * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp. * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes. * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
