2016-11-04dd: warn about counts specified with confusing 0x prefixPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (parse_integer): Suggest to use "00x" instead of "0x", which is significant for the "count", "seek", and "skip" operands. * tests/dd/misc.sh: Add a test case. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24874
2016-10-16all: use die() rather than error(EXIT_FAILURE)Pádraig Brady
die() has the advantage of being apparent to the compiler that it doesn't return, which will avoid warnings in some cases, and possibly generate better code. * cfg.mk (sc_die_EXIT_FAILURE): A new syntax check rule to catch any new uses of error (CONSTANT, ...);
2016-08-18doc: fix ambiguous multiplier info in dd man pagePádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (usage): Add a comma which is significant for the rewrapping done in man pages.
2016-01-13doc: suggest dd "sync" flag to maximize "nocache" effectivenessPádraig Brady
doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Add oflag=sync to the streaming example. Also reference the "direct" flag. Mention this is only a request to the system. * src/dd.c (usage): Mention the "sync" flag along with "nocache". Also mention that it's only a request to drop the cache. * THANKS.in: Add reporter Francois Rigault.
2016-01-01maint: avoid a sc_long_lines failure in recent commitPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (alloc_ibuf): Shorten line length.
2016-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesPádraig Brady
Run "make update-copyright" and then... * gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted. * tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year. * bootstrap: Likewise. * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
2015-12-31dd: append spaces to shorter status=progress linePaul Eggert
Problem noted by Pádraig Brady in: http://bugs.gnu.org/22277#8 Also, make the output a bit more precise while we're at it. * NEWS: Document this. * src/dd.c (previous_time): Remove, replacing with ... (next_time): New var. All uses changed. This avoids some rounding errors, and should be a bit faster. (newline_pending): Remove, replacing with ... (progress_len): New var. All uses changed. This lets us keep track of how many trailing spaces to append. (print_xfer_stats): Get the time first thing, so that it's closer to being correct. Count the bytes output, and append trailing spaces if needed. Add remarks to translators about translation lengths.
2015-12-31dd: summarize in --human-readable format tooPaul Eggert
Problem reported by Linda Walsh in: http://bugs.gnu.org/17505 * NEWS: Document this. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Use a simpler script. Adjust output example to match new behavior. * src/dd.c (human_size): Remove. All uses changed to use human_readable and ... (human_opts): ... this new constant. (abbreviation_lacks_prefix): New function. (print_xfer_stats): Use it. Output both --si and --human-readable summaries, but only if they have prefixes. * tests/dd/reblock.sh, tests/dd/stats.sh: Test new behavior.
2015-11-04all: avoid quoting file names when possiblePádraig Brady
Quote file names using the "shell-escape" or "shell-escape-always" methods, which quote as appropriate for most shells, and better support copy and paste of presented names. The "always" variant is used when the file name is embedded in an error message with surrounding spaces. * cfg.mk (sc_error_shell_quotes): A new syntax check rule to suggest quotef() where appropriate. (sc_error_shell_always_quotes): Likewise for quoteaf(). * src/system.h (quotef): A new define to apply shell quoting when needed. I.E. when shell character or ':' is present. (quoteaf): Likewise, but always quote. * src/*.c: Use quotef() and quoteaf() rather than quote() where appropriate. * tests/: Adjust accordingly.
2015-10-27copy,dd: simplify and optimize NUL bytes detectionPádraig Brady
* src/factor.c: Move LIKELY() definition to... * src/system.h: ...here. (is_nul): Reimplement with a version that doesn't require a sentinel after the buffer, and which calls down to (the system optimized) memcmp. Performance analyzed at http://rusty.ozlabs.org/?p=560 * src/dd.c (alloc_obuf): Simplify the is_nul() call by not needing to write the sentinel. * src/copy.c (sparse_copy): Likewise. (copy_reg): Simplify the buffer allocation by avoiding consideration of the sentinel in the buffer size calculation.
2015-10-27all: quote string arguments in error messagesPádraig Brady
These strings are often file names or other user specified parameters, which can give confusing errors in the presence of unexpected characters for example. * cfg.mk (sc_error_quotes): A new syntax check rule. * src/*.c: Wrap error() string arguments with quote(). * tests/: Adjust accordingly. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2015-05-30maint: avoid new coverity warningsPádraig Brady
* src/sync.c (sync_arg): Initialise variable to avoid unitialized access if assert is disabled. * src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_file): Support this function with ---presume-input-pipe and larger files, which regressed with commit v8.23-47-g2662702. (elide_tail_lines_file): Likewise. * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Explicitly don't try to ftruncate() upon failure to lseek() (the existing check against st_size was already protecting that). * src/factor.c (factor_using_squfof): Assert (only when linting due to performance) to avoid the implication of divide by zero. * src/od.c (read_block): Remove dead code. * src/tac.c (tac_seekable): Likewise. * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Likewise.
2015-04-27maint: fix printf format for signed integersPádraig Brady
With GCC 5 and the newly added warnings from gnulib, ensure the correct signed integer is passed for the printf format, to avoid -Werror=format= failures.
2015-04-22maint: avoid -Werror=strict-overflow warnings with GCC 5Pádraig Brady
All warnings were of the form: "assuming signed overflow does not occur when simplifying conditional to constant [-Werror=strict-overflow]" * src/dd.c (cache_round): Use an appropriately sized unsigned type, to avoid possibility of undefined signed overflow. * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise. * src/pr.c (pad_down): Likewise. * src/wc.c (main): Likewise. * src/tail.c (main): Assert that argc >= 0 thus allowing the compiler to assume without implication that argc - optind is positive.
2015-01-31doc,maint: fix use of "i.e." in documentation and commentsBernhard Voelker
To align with all other places (and correct grammar), change all upper-case "I.E." to "I.e.". Furthermore, ensure that "i.e." is followed by a comma. Finally, ensure to use a double-space before "I.e.," at the beginning of a sentence. The following was used to change all offending uses (apart from old ChangeLog files): $ git grep -liF 'i.e.' \ | xargs sed -i \ -e 's/I\.E\./I.e./g' \ -e 's/\. \(I\.e\.\)/. \1/g' \ -e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)\( \)/\1,\2/g' \ -e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)$/\1,/g' * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_uppercase_id_est): Add new rule. (sc_ensure_double_space_after_dot_before_id_est): Likewise. (sc_ensure_comma_after_id_est): Likewise.

2015-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesPádraig Brady
Run "make update-copyright" and then... * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year. * tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle-v2.sh: Fix case in copyright message, so that year is updated automatically in future.
2014-12-19diagnose too-large numbers betterPádraig Brady
Following on from commit v8.23-82-gaddae94, consistently diagnose numbers that are too large, so as to distinguish from other errors, and make the limits obvious. * gl/modules/xdectoint: A new module implementing xdecto[iu]max(), which handles the common case of parsing a bounded integer and exiting with a diagnostic on error. * gl/lib/xdectoimax.c: The signed variant. * gl/lib/xdectoint.c: The parameterized implementation. * gl/lib/xdectoint.h: The interface. * gl/lib/xdectoumax.c: The unsigned variant. * bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module. * cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_require_config_h_first): Exclude the parameterized templates. * src/csplit.c: Output EOVERFLOW or ERANGE errors if appropriate. * src/fmt.c: Likewise. * src/fold.c: Likewise. * src/head.c: Likewise. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/nl.c: Likewise. * src/nproc.c: Likewise. * src/shred.c: Likewise. * src/shuf.c: Likewise. * src/stdbuf.c: Likewise. * src/stty.c: Likewise. * src/tail.c: Likewise. * src/truncate.c: Likewise. * src/split.c: Likewise. * src/pr.c: Likewise. * tests/pr/pr-tests.pl: Adjust to avoid matching errno diagnostic. * tests/fmt/base.pl: Likewise. * tests/split/l-chunk.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/shred-negative.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/tail.pl: Likewise. Also remove the redundant existing ERR_SUBST from test err-6. * tests/ls/hex-option.sh: Check HEX/OCT options. * tests/misc/shred-size.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/stty-row-col.sh: Likewise.
2014-12-16dd: fix typo in previous changePaul Eggert
Reported by Bernhard Voelker in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2014-12/msg00191.html * src/dd.c (scanargs): s/IN/OUT/.
2014-12-15dd: diagnose too-large numbers betterPaul Eggert
Reported by Isabella Parakiss in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2014-12/msg00184.html * src/dd.c (parse_integer): Return strtol_error code, not bool. All callers changed. (scanargs): Improve quality of diagnostic when a number is too large.
2014-11-28build: fix missing casts from recent changePádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (alloc_[io]buf): I committed a stale patch that omitted the casts needed on 32 bit. Identified by http://hydra.nixos.org/build/17610188
2014-11-27rm: fix prompted number of arguments to remove on some platformsPádraig Brady
"zu" was output on solaris 8 for example rather than the number, since coreutils-8.22. * cfg.mk: Disallow %z, since we don't currently use the gnulib fprintf module, so any usage with it is non portable. Also our usage with error() currently works only through an ancillary dependency on the vfprintf gnulib module. * src/rm.c (main): Use %PRIuMAX rather than %zu for portability. * src/dd.c (alloc_[io]buf): Likewise for consistency. * src/od.c (main): Likewise. * src/split.c (set_suffix_length): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the rm bug fix. Reported in http://bugs.gnu.org/19184
2014-10-02maint: avoid double semicolon syntax check failureBernhard Voelker
A syntax-check recently added to gnulib would trigger a failure (once gnulib gets updated here) for a statement introduced with commit v8.23-43-gaf2a4ed: src/dd.c:806: char const *time_fmt = _(", %g s, %s/s\n");; maint.mk: Double semicolon detected make: *** [sc_prohibit_double_semicolon] Error 1 * src/dd.c (print_xfer_stats): s/;;/;/
2014-09-30dd: new status=progress level to print stats periodicallyFederico Simoncelli
* src/dd.c: Report the transfer progress every second when the new status=progress level is used. Adjust the handling and description of the status= option so that they're treated as mutually exclusive levels, rather than flags with implicit precedence. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Document the new progress status level. Reference the new level in the description of SIGUSR1. * tests/dd/stats.sh: Add new test for status=progress. * tests/dd/misc.sh: Change so status=none only takes precedence if it's the last level specified. * NEWS: Mention the feature.
2014-09-30dd: use more robust SIGUSR1 handlingPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (ifd_reopen): A new wrapper to ensure we don't exit upon receiving a SIGUSR1 in a blocking open() on a fifo for example. (iftruncate): Likewise for ftruncate(). (iread): Process signals also after a short read. (install_signal_handlers): Install SIGINFO/SIGUSR1 handler even if set to SIG_IGN, as this is what the parent can easily set from a shell script that can send SIGUSR1 without the possiblity of inadvertently killing the dd process. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Improve the example to show robust usage wrt signal races and short reads. * tests/dd/stats.sh: A new test for various signal races. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2014-09-19doc: output correct --help references with --program-prefixPádraig Brady
* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): Take the invariant PROGRAM_NAME as a parameter, so that consistent references are made to online docs and texinfo nodes, when a --program-prefix is in place. Note the man pages don't need this fix as they're generated before the program prefix is used. * NEWS: Mention the improvements in references to online documentation.
2014-09-08maint: prefer 'return status;' to 'exit (status);' in 'main'Paul Eggert

(quit, main): Use it. * src/getlimits.c (main): Return a proper exit status. * src/test.c (test_main_return): New macro. (main): Use it. * src/logname.c, src/nohup.c, src/whoami.c: Use 'error' to simplify exit status in 'main' function. * src/yes.c (main): Use 'return' rather than 'error' to exit, so that GCC doesn't suggest ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
2014-05-06dd: fix conv=ascii, conv=ebcdic, conv=ibm to match POSIXPaul Eggert
Problem reported by Don Baggett in <http:/bugs.gnu.org/17422>. * NEWS: * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Document this. * src/dd.c (conversions): conv=ascii implies conv=unblock. conv=ebcdic and conv=ibm imply conv=block. (ascii_to_ebcdic, ebcdic_to_ascii): Correct to match POSIX 1003.1-2013. * tests/dd/ascii.sh: New file. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it.
2014-01-02maint: update all copyright year number rangesBernhard Voelker
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.
2013-07-19dd: make status=none suppress all diagnosticsPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (STATUS_NONE): Simplify the enum so that it's more general than just suppressing transfer counts. Then test this in all locations where non fatal diagnostics are output. * tests/dd/misc.sh: Ensure the diagnostic about being unable to skip past the end of input is suppressed. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/14897
2013-04-14dd: avoid buffer allocations unless neededOndrej Oprala
* src/dd.c: Add new static global variable ibuf. (alloc_ibuf, alloc_obuf): New functions factored from dd_copy(). (dd_copy): Call the new functions to allocate memory for ibuf and obuf when necessary. (skip): Likewise. * tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: New test. * tests/local.mk: Reference the test.
2013-02-06maint: improve error messages upon failed read, write, access, closeBenno Schulenberg
Note we use "failed to {access,close}" for those single operations, and "error {read,writ}ing" for those partial operation failures. * src/copy.c: Improve error messages for failing read, write and close. * src/cp.c: Improve error messages for failing access. * src/dd.c: Improve error messages for failing read, write and open. * src/head.c: Improve error message for failing close. * src/install.c: Improve error messages for failing access. * src/ln.c: Likewise. * src/mv.c: Likewise. * src/touch.c: Improve error message for failing close. * src/truncate.c: Likewise.
2013-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering

2012-12-21dd: fix a printf format mismatch in an error messagePádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (dd_copy): To print an off_t portably we need to use PRIdMAX and cast to intmax_t, otherwise there could be a mismatch between say a 32 bit off_t and uintmax_t. This was flagged by -Wformat on a 64 bit host when compiling with CFLAGS=-m32.
2012-09-24dd: new option, status=none to suppress output statisticsPozsár Balázs
* src/dd.c (STATUS_NONE): A new bitmask combining all STATUS_ options, thus used to suppress all informational output. (struct symbol_value statuses): Expose the "none" option, corresponding to the STATUS_NONE bitmask above. (print_stats): Return early if STATUS_NONE is specified. Also move the call to gethrxtime() down so that it's only called when needed. (usage): Describe the new options. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. * tests/dd/misc.sh: Ensure the new option works.
2012-09-18dd: remove references to the word BLOCKS from help and texi docsBenno Schulenberg
The renaming from BLOCKS to N was done in v8.15-38-g140eca1, and documentation for N was added again in v8.17-26-g4f2e9d5 without noticing that. Now, finally remove the word BLOCKS from the documentation. * src/dd.c (usage): Remove the word BLOCKS. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Likewise. Improved by: Bernhard Voelker <mail@bernhard-voelker.de>
2012-06-22doc: document multiplier for dd number options like count=NBernhard Voelker
* src/dd.c (usage): Add "N" to the description of multipliers. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Likewise.
2012-06-22maint: refactor common mode bits used to create filesPádraig Brady

2012-05-10maint: handle file sizes more reliablyPaul Eggert
Problem reported by Samuel Thibault in <http://bugs.gnu.org/11424>. * NEWS: Document this. * src/dd.c (skip): Handle skipping past EOF on shared or typed memory objects the same way as with regular files. (dd_copy): It's OK to truncate shared memory objects. * src/du.c (duinfo_add): Check for overflow. (print_only_size): Report overflow. (process_file): Ignore negative file sizes in the --apparent-size case. * src/od.c (skip): Fix comment about st_size. * src/split.c (main): * src/truncate.c (do_ftruncate, main): On files where st_size is not portable, fall back on using lseek with SEEK_END to determine the size. Although strictly speaking POSIX says the behavior is implementation-defined, in practice if lseek returns a nonnegative value it's a reasonable one to use for the file size. * src/system.h (usable_st_size): Symlinks have reliable st_size too. * tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail: Don't assume that getting the size of a dir is not allowed, as it's now allowed on many platforms, e.g., GNU/Linux.
2012-03-06maint: refactor copy to use is_nul()Pádraig Brady
* src/dd.c: Move is_nul() from here to ... * src/system.h: ... here * src/copy.c (sparse_copy): Adjust to use the refactored is_nul()
2012-02-29dd: add support for the conv=sparse optionRoman Rybalko
Notes: Small seeks are not coalesced to larger ones, like is done in cache_round() for example. conv= is used rather then oflag= for FreeBSD compatibility. * src/dd.c (final_op_was_seek): A new global boolean to flag whether the final "write" was converted to a seek. (usage): Describe the new conf=sparse option. (iwrite): Convert a write of a NUL block to a seek if requested. (do_copy): Initialize the output buffer to have a sentinel, to allow for efficient testing for NUL output blocks. If the last block in the file was converted to a seek, then convert back to a write so the size is updated. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. * tests/dd/sparse: A new test for the feature. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
2012-02-13dd: fix issues in the count_bytes and seek_bytes flags changePádraig Brady
These edge cases were missed in the previous commit 140eca15c. * src/dd.c (main): Include the bytes slop when truncating without further I/O. Don't invalidate the whole file cache in the case where 0 < count < ibs. * tests/dd/bytes: Change to using the independent truncate command to generate the file for comparison. Remove a redundant test case and replace with one testing the truncation only logic.
2012-02-12dd: add count_bytes, skip_bytes and seek_bytes flagsJérémy Compostella
dd now accepts the count_bytes and skip_bytes input flag and the seek_bytes output flag, to more easily allow processing portions of a file. * src/dd.c (scanargs): Compute skip_records and skip_bytes when 'skip_bytes' iflag is used. Compute max_records and max_bytes when 'count_bytes' iflag is used. Compute seek_records and seek_bytes when 'seek_bytes' oflag is used. (skip_via_lseek): Use new 'bytes' parameter and handle potential 'records' equals to zero. Update the bytes parameter when called with 'fdesc' equal to STDOUT_FILENO. Update the header comments. (dd_copy): Skip accordingly to skip_records AND skip_bytes. Count accordingly to max_records AND max_bytes. Seek on output accordingly to seek_records AND seek_bytes. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Detail new flags and behaviors. * tests/dd/bytes: New file. Tests for these new flags. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2012-02-06maint: add braces as requested by HACKING coding standardJérémy Compostella
