2010-07-22fadvise: new module providing a simpler interface to posix_fadvisePádraig Brady
* bootstrap.conf: Include the new module * gl/lib/fadvise.c: Provide a simpler interface to posix_fadvise. (fadvise): Provide hint to the whole file associated with a stream. (fdadvise): Provide hint to the specific portion of a file associated with a file descriptor. * gl/lib/fadvise.h: Redefine POSIX_FADV_* to FADVISE_* enums. * gl/modules/fadvise: New file. * m4/jm-macros.m4: Remove the no longer needed posix_fadvise check. * .x-sc_program_name: Exclude test-fadvise.c from this check. * gl/tests/test-fadvise (main): New test program. * gl/modules/fadvise-testss: A new index to reference the tests. * src/sort.c (stream_open): Use the new interface. * src/dd.c (iwrite): Likewise.
2010-07-12dd: also spell out size on memory exhaustionPaul R. Eggert
* src/dd.c (dd_copy): Use requested blocksize (not adjusted) in diagnostic, to forestall user complaints that the numbers don't match exactly. Report both exact and human-readable sizes, using a message format that is consistent with both "BBBB bytes (N XB) copied" in dd.c and "memory exhausted" in lib/xmalloc.c.
2010-06-14dd: print a better diagnostic for an invalid block sizeJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (dd_copy): Give a better diagnostic than "dd: memory exhausted" for an over-large bs= block size setting. Same for ibs= and obs=. Reported by Imre Péntek in http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/591969
2010-05-31maint: replace each "for (;;)" with "while (true)"Jim Meyering
Run this command: git ls-files | grep '\.[ch]$' \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/for \(;;\)/while (true)/g' ...except for randint.c, which does not include stdbool.h. In that case, use "while (1)". * gl/lib/randint.c (randint_genmax): Use "while (1)" for infloops. * src/cat.c (simple_cat, cat): Use "while (true)" for infloops. * gl/lib/randread.c (readsource, readisaac): Likewise. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Likewise. * src/csplit.c (record_line_starts, process_regexp): Likewise. * src/cut.c (set_fields): Likewise. * src/dd.c (iread, parse_symbols): Likewise. * src/df.c (find_mount_point, main): Likewise. * src/du.c (main): Likewise. * src/expand.c (expand): Likewise. * src/factor.c (factor_using_division, do_stdin): Likewise. * src/fmt.c (get_space): Likewise. * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Likewise. * src/od.c (main): Likewise. * src/pr.c (main, read_line): Likewise. * src/shred.c (dopass, genpattern): Likewise. * src/sort.c (initbuf, fillbuf, getmonth, keycompare): Likewise. * src/split.c (bytes_split, lines_split): Likewise. * src/tac.c (tac_seekable): Likewise. * src/test.c (and, or): Likewise. * src/tr.c (squeeze_filter, main): Likewise. * src/tsort.c (search_item): Likewise. * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise. * src/uniq.c (main): Likewise. * src/yes.c (main): Likewise.

2010-01-01maint: update all FSF copyright year lists to include 2010Jim Meyering
Use this command: git ls-files | grep -v COPYING \ | xargs env UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=1 \ build-aux/update-copyright
2009-09-23maint: Use logical rather than bitwise operators on boolsPádraig Brady
This is because bitwise operators are: - confusing and inconsistent in a boolean context - non short circuiting - brittle in C89 where bool can be an int (so > 1)
2009-09-21doc: mention the texinfo documentation in --helpPádraig Brady
* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C' (and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page. Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command. Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it. * man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the --help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man. Suggestion from C de-Avillez
2009-09-10dd conv=unblock: print final newline consistentlyJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (dd_copy) [C_UNBLOCK]: Always print the final newline for non-empty output, not just when output size is a multiple of cbs. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation) [conv=unblock]: Mention that dd prints a newline after each output record, not just when replacing trailing spaces. Reported by Ulrich Drepper. * tests/dd/unblock: New file. Test for this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-09-01maint: dd: remove unnecessary initializationJim Meyering

2009-08-28dd: detect closed stderrEric Blake
* src/dd.c (maybe_close_stdout): Always flush stderr; regression introduced in commit 381e69ea. * tests/misc/close-stdout (p): Use consistent style. * tests/dd/stderr: New test, borrowing from misc/close-stdout. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it. * NEWS: Mention this.
2009-08-25global: convert indentation-TABs to spacesJim Meyering
Transformed via this shell code: t=$'\t' git ls-files \ | grep -vE '(^|/)((GNU)?[Mm]akefile|ChangeLog)|\.(am|mk)$' \ | grep -vE 'tests/pr/|help2man' \ | xargs grep -lE "^ *$t" \ | xargs perl -MText::Tabs -ni -le \ '$m=/^( *\t[ \t]*)(.*)/; print $m ? expand($1) . $2 : $_'
2009-08-13dd: fix a signal handling racePádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (main): Install the signal handlers at startup rather than just before the copy starts. In this way signals received before the copy (like during a slow truncate for e.g.) will be deferred and handled consistently. * THANKS: Add Bernhard's email address. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
2009-08-07dd: preserve semantics of O_DIRECT even for final blockJim Meyering
* src/dd.c: Include "ignore-value.h" (iwrite): When disabling O_DIRECT, try to compensate via POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED and fsync. Suggested by Eric Sandeen.
2009-08-06dd: work around buffer length restrictions with oflag=direct (O_DIRECT)Jim Meyering
dd oflag=direct would fail to copy a file with size that is not a multiple of 512 (destination file system specific) * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * src/dd.c (iwrite): Turn off O_DIRECT for any smaller-than-obs-sized write. Don't bother to restore it. * tests/dd/direct: New test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dd/direct. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Mention oflag=direct buffer size restriction. Details in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/17586 Reported by Eric Sandeen.
2009-08-04dd: remove unnecessary #if HAVE_FTRUNCATEJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (main): Remove unnecessary cpp directives. Gnulib guarantees that ftruncate is usable.
2009-04-07maint: Clarify ambiguous refs to Linux kernels or GNU/Linux systemsPádraig Brady

2009-03-20dd: use a more portable definition of O_FULLBLOCKEric Blake
* src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Compute its value without using a 180KB macro. This avoids triggering a compilation failure with HP-UX's cc. Reported by Matthew Woehlke.

2009-02-19doc: dd: document that the default block size is 512 bytesJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (usage): Document the default block size. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Document that the default block size (bs, ibs, obs) is 512 bytes. Reported by Petr Uzel.

2009-01-28dd: Better handle user specified offsets that are too bigPádraig Brady
Following are the before and after operations for seekable files, for the various erroneous offsets handled by this patch: skip beyond end of file before: immediately exit(0); after : immediately printf("cannot skip to specified offset"); exit(0); skip > max file size before: read whole file and exit(0); after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1); seek > max file size before: immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1); after : immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1); skip > OFF_T_MAX before: read whole device/file and exit(0); after : immediately printf("cannot skip:"); exit(1); seek > OFF_T_MAX before: immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1); after : immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1); skip > device size before: read whole device and exit(0); after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1); seek > device size before: read whole device and printf("write error: ENOSPC"); exit(1); after : immediately printf("cannot seek: Invalid argument"); exit(1); * NEWS: Summarize this change in behavior. * src/dd.c (skip): Add error checking for large seek/skip offsets on seekable files, rather than deferring to using read() to advance offset. (dd_copy): Print a warning if skip past EOF, as per FIXME comment. * test/Makefile.am: Add 2 new tests. * tests/dd/seek-skip-past-file: Add tests for first 3 cases above. * tests/dd/seek-skip-past-dev: Add root only test for last case above.
2008-12-26maint: ensure dd's computation of O_FULLBLOCK uses all O_ symbol namesJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Use a more uniform initializer, that makes it easier to extract all O_ symbol names. * maint.mk (syntax-check-rules): Also search for sc_ rules in cfg.mk. (sc_root_tests): Ensure that this rule sets $diff. * cfg.mk (sc_dd_O_FLAGS): New rule.
2008-12-26dd: add support for opening files in Concurrent I/O (CIO) modeMatt Harden

2008-11-22Revert part of "dd: avoid unnecessary memory copies"Pádraig Brady
This reverts part of commit fbd87029cfc494a72bb73ade27ef46382c5bc832. Paul Eggert noticed the problem in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-11/msg00153.html * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Clarify.
2008-11-21dd: avoid unnecessary memory copiesPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (scanargs): When not otherwise required (e.g. for conversion), use two-buffer mode only when the input and output buffer sizes differ. Before, some of the most basic invocations of dd, e.g., dd < in > out, would unnecessarily use separate buffers and perform memory copies between them.
2008-08-26use new global, "Version", rather than macro, VERSIONJim Meyering
With this change, a version-string update no longer forces recompilation of 100+ src/*.o files. * src/version.c (Version): New global.

2008-08-09dd.c: reduce duplication in new O_FULLBLOCK-defining codeJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (MULTIPLE_BITS_SET): New macro, extracted from... (multiple_bits_set): ...this function. Use a single-line, and far simpler expression (no need to list all O_* symbols again) to validate the derived O_FULLBLOCK value.
2008-07-23dd: minor fullblock changesJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Define using an enum, not #define. Derive the value, rather than hard-coding to one that might conflict. (usage): Mention iflag=fullblock in --help output. (scanargs): Reset the O_FULLBLOCK bit, so that we don't try to set an undefined attribute via fcntl (fd, F_SETFL, ... * tests/dd/misc: Signal framework_failure when necessary. Use "compare actual expected", so any diffs look "right". * NEWS (dd): Alphabetize and reword. * coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Adjust wording.
2008-07-23dd: new option: iflag=fullblock to accumulate full input blocksKamil Dudka
* src/dd.c (iread_fullblock): New function for reading full blocks. (scanargs): Check for new parameter iflag=fullblock. (skip): Use iread_fnc pointer instead of iread function. (dd_copy): Use iread_fnc pointer instead of iread function. * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd - read full blocks. * doc/coretuils.texi: Mention new parameter iflag=fullblock. * NEWS: Mentioned the change.
2008-07-23dd: adjust --help output so help2man formats the man page properlyJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate "directory" from its description, so help2man formats the derived man page properly.

2007-02-22Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fsPaul Eggert
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be reliable. * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in bug-coreutils. * tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime exists but fails.
2007-02-10Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.Jim Meyering

Reported by Thomas Huriaux in <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
2007-01-26* src/dd.c (advance_input_after_read_error): Change diagnostic toJim Meyering
say "invalid file offset" rather than "screwy file offset".
2006-12-22* NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,Paul Eggert
as POSIX requires. * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it. * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
