2015-05-09build: avoid a warning form gcc's new -Wlogical-opJim Meyering
Without this change, very recent gcc (e.g., version 6.0.0 20150509) would print the following when configured with --enable-gcc-warnings: src/copy.c:165:30: error: logical 'or' of equal expressions \ [-Werror=logical-op] && (errno == EOPNOTSUPP || errno == ENOTSUP || errno == ENOSYS)) ^ * src/system.h (is_ENOTSUP): New function. * src/copy.c (punch_hole): Use it. * src/ls.c (errno_unsupported, gobble_file): Use it.
2015-04-01doc: clarify that ls --sort=time is newest firstPádraig Brady
* src/ls.c (usage): Add punctuation to avoid ambiguity in the description of the --time option. Mention that both the -u and --sort=time default order is newest first.
2015-03-26doc: disambiguate the ls --color descriptionChristoph Anton Mitterer
* src/ls.c (usage): Avoid the implication that the default ls behavior is to --color=always. Reported in http://bugs.debian.org/781208
2015-03-23doc: clarify default order for ls --sort=sizeDan Jacobson
* src/ls.c (usage): Mention that default order is largest first. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/20172

* src/ls.c (color_indicator[C_END]): Comment with the correct sequence, which was used since commit v6.10-61-g483297d Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/19992
2015-02-11maint: avoid arbitrary memory access with buggy localtime()Pádraig Brady
* src/ls.c (align_nstrftime): Be defensive and validate the tm_mon index before using to access the abmon array. This was _not_ seen to be an issue any system. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1190454
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.

2014-12-30build: update to latest gnulibPádraig Brady
Included in this are gnulib changes 3ea43e02 2768ceb7 which make the device IDs from /proc/self/mountinfo available to df. This can be leveraged by a subsequent change to df to present a more accurate list of file systems. * bootstrap: Merge from gnulib. * src/ls.c (dev_ino_pop): s/obstack_blank/obstack_blank_fast/ as this API/ABI has changed, giving memory exhausted errors if negative (large positive) numbers are passed to obstack_blank(). * tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Adjust as the new gnulib code requires a non NULL mnt_opts even when mnt_type is not "none".
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.

2014-07-01maint: fix const correctness warnings with security_context_tPádraig Brady
The security_context_t type was always an artificial separation from a standard char* string, and various libselinux using code assumed both were synonymous. In addition, prior to libselinux 2.3 function declarations were incorrect wrt constness of this type. Here we replace security_context_t with char*, and also provide a wrapper function to cater for the const issue on older libselinux. * src/system.h (se_const): A new function to avoid and identify the const issue on older libselinux. * src/copy.c: s/security_context_t/char */. * src/cp.c: Likewise. * src/id.c: Likewise. * src/install.c: Likewise. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/mkdir.c: Likewise. * src/mkfifo.c: Likewise. * src/mknod.c: Likewise. * src/runcon.c: Likewise. * src/selinux.c: Likewise. * tests/cp/no-ctx.sh: Likewise. * src/chcon.c: Likesize.

2014-04-17ls: don't output colors with unknown TERM env variableGuilherme de Almeida Suckevicz
--colors controls whether to output colors depending on whether we're connected to a terminal or not, while this change gives control over which terminals we output colors to. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. * src/ls.c (known_term_type): A new function to search the static list from dircolors.h (parse_ls_colors): Honor the TERM when both LS_COLORS and COLORTERM are non empty. * tests/ls/color-term.sh: A new test. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15992
2014-01-17doc: clarify SMACK related --help and documentationChengwei Yang
* src/ls.c: Remove all mention of SELinux since ls should treat all security context labels equally. * doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Likewise. (id invocation): Clarify that -Z outputs the context inherited by the process, rather than one specific to a user. Note for SMACK this can be set instead by the SMACK64EXEC label, in the unusual case where this is set on the id executable. * src/id.c (usage): Likewise. * src/mkdir.c (usage): Clarify that -Z is specific to SELinux, while --context=CTX is also supported for SMACK. * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise. * src/mknod.c (usage): Likewise.
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.
2013-11-26doc: clarify the operation of ls -kPádraig Brady
* src/ls.c (usage): Mention -k only changes the display for disk usage (directory total, and ls -s), and imply that it can be overridden (by --block-size, and -h). * doc/coreutils.texi (block size): Mention that ls -k handling is different to other utilities. Addresses http://bugs.gnu.org/14525
2013-09-05ls: fix possible incorrect exit status when recursing directoriesFUJIWARA Katsunori
If there is an error reading a directory that was referenced through recursion, rather than directly on the command line, then exit with the "less serious" exit code, rather than the "serious" exit code reserved for command line arguments. This issue was introduced in commit v5.2.1-1908-gb58dea5 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Ensure that the command_line_arg param is false for directories being recursed into. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15249
2013-08-05doc: more semicolons instead of periods in option descriptionsBenno Schulenberg
Also slightly rephrase some descriptions for extra clarity, and add more consistent indentation. * src/df.c (usage): Semicolon, no final period. * src/du.c (usage): Likewise, plus indentation and clarifying words. * src/ls.c (usage): Semicolon, rephrasings, added parentheses for clarity, indentation. * src/rm.c (usage): Semicolons. * src/tail.c (usage): Adjust -f description to prefer explanatory language instead of option syntax.
2013-08-01doc: use semicolon instead of period in option descriptionsBenno Schulenberg
Also do not end option descriptions with a period, properly indent continuation lines, and make some tiny clarifications. * src/du.c (usage): Lowercase after semicolon. * src/ls.c (usage): Semicolons instead of periods, small rephrasing and two hyphens for clarity, proper indentation. * src/mktemp.c (usage): Semicolons and lowercase. * src/od.c (usage): Semicolons. * src/ptx.c (usage): Use the standard phrase, clarify default option. * src/setuidgid.c (usage): Properly indent continuation line. * src/split.c (usage): Semicolons, lowercase, no final period. * src/stat.c (usage): Semicolons, lowercase. * src/tail.c (usage): Proper indentation, one shorter rephrasing, semicolons, no final periods. * src/timeout.c (usage): Properly indent, semicolons, no final periods. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/14976
2013-07-02maint: refactor SMACK interface to a separate modulePádraig Brady
Consolidate all smack routines and checks in a module. We replace and wrap the most commonly used smack routines, which allows removing ifdefs throughout the code. * gl/lib/smack.h: A new header containing the implementation of the wrapped and replacement routines. Note the is_smack_enabled() routine should be optimized out at compile time when compiled on a system without libsmack. * gl/modules/smack: Describe the new module and move the configure time code here from ... * m4/jm-macros.m4: ... here. * bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module. * src/id.c: Use the routines without ifdefs where possible. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/mkdir.c: Likewise. * src/mkfifo.c: Likewise. * src/mknod.c: Likewise.
2013-06-24ls: with -Z, show SMACK security contextJarkko Sakkinen
Enable showing of file SMACK security with '-Z' command-line switch if SMACK is enabled. Showing SMACK context of a file does not strictly require SMACK to be enabled but this required to make choice whether to show SELinux or SMACK security context. * src/ls.c (getfilecon_cache): Retrieve SMACK context if available. (gobble_file): Handle SMACK context similarly to SELinux context. * src/local.mk: Link lsl with libsmack. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. * .mailmap: Merge the Author's 2 email addresses.
2013-05-18maint: port --enable-gcc-warnings to clangPaul Eggert

It's good to avoid casts anyway. * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): Declare only if it exists. (die): Remove; unused. * src/ls.c (dev_ino_push): New function, replacing ... (DEV_INO_PUSH): ... this removed macro. All uses changed. (decode_switches): Rewrite "str"+i to &str[i].
2013-02-20maint: cleanup up various uses of __attribute__Pádraig Brady
* src/cfg.mk (sc_prohibit-gl-attributes): Disallow the __attribute() form without trailing underscores as that is not elided where required.

2013-01-23maint: define usage note about mandatory args centrallyBernhard Voelker
Each program with at least one long option which is marked as 'required_argument' and which has also a short option for that option, should print a note about mandatory arguments. Define that well-known note centrally and use it rather than literal printf/fputs, and add it where it was missing. * src/system.h (emit_mandatory_arg_note): Add new function. * src/cp.c (usage): Use it rather than literal printf/fputs. * src/csplit.c, src/cut.c, src/date.c, src/df.c, src/du.c: * src/expand.c, src/fmt.c, src/fold.c, src/head.c, src/install.c: * src/kill.c, src/ln.c, src/ls.c, src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c: * src/mknod.c, src/mv.c, src/nl.c, src/od.c, src/paste.c: * src/pr.c, src/ptx.c, src/shred.c, src/shuf.c, src/sort.c: * src/split.c, src/stdbuf.c, src/tac.c, src/tail.c, src/timeout.c: * src/touch.c, src/truncate.c, src/unexpand.c, src/uniq.c: Likewise. * src/base64.c (usage): Add call of the above new function because at least one long option has a required argument. * src/basename.c, src/chcon.c, src/date.c, src/env.c: * src/nice.c, src/runcon.c, src/seq.c, src/stat.c, src/stty.c: Likewise.

2012-09-16ls: fix coloring of dangling symlinks in default listing modePádraig Brady
When listing a directory containing dangling symlinks, and not outputting a long format listing, and orphaned links are set to no coloring in LS_COLORS, then the symlinks would get no color rather than reverting to the standard symlink color. The issue was introduced in v8.13-19-g84457c4 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Use the standard method to check if coloring is specified for orphaned symlinks. The existing method would consider 'or=00' or 'or=0' as significant in LS_COLORS. Even 'or=' was significant as in that case the string='or=' and the length=0. Also apply the same change for missing symlinks for consistency. (gobble_file): Remove the simulation of linkok, which is only tested in print_color_indicator() which now handles this directly by keying on the LS_COLORS values correctly. * tests/misc/ls-misc.pl: Add a test case. * THANKS: Add the reporter. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported-by: David Matei
2012-05-12ls: color each symlink-to-relative-name in / properlyJim Meyering
In order for ls --color to color each symlink, it must form the name of each referent and then stat it to see if the link is dangling, to a directory, to a file, etc. When the symlink is to a relative name, ls must concatenate the starting directory name and that relative name. When, in addition, the starting directory was "/" or "/some-name", the result was ill-formed, and the subsequent stat would usually fail, making the caller color it as a dangling symlink. * src/ls.c (make_link_name): Don't botch the case in which dir_name(NAME) == "/" and LINKNAME is relative. * tests/ls/root-rel-symlink-color: New file. Test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Mike Frysinger in http://bugs.gnu.org/11453 Bug introduced by commit v8.16-23-gbcb9078.
2012-05-02maint: adjust comments to avoid FP match on binary-operator-at-EOLJim Meyering

2012-04-19maint: ls: use stpncpy/stpcpy, not strncpy/strcpyJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Move a decl "down". (make_link_name): Do not hard-code '/'. Use IS_ABSOLUTE_FILE_NAME and dir_len instead. Use stpcpy/stpncpy in place of strncpy/strcpy.
2012-04-19maint: modernize/clean-up a small function in ls.cJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (make_link_name): Adjust comment style to refer to VARIABLE names, not 'variable'. Move each of two declarations "down" to first use. Compare pointer to NULL, not to 0. Don't reuse local, "linkbuf" for a different purpose.
2012-02-20ls: adjust errnos indicating device non support for xattrsPádraig Brady
* src/ls.c (errno_unsupported): Remove EBUSY, as this caters for the case where ACLs can't be accessed because the _file_ is locked. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-06/msg00191.html Also ENOENT is not safe to include as you get that if the _file_ is removed between the stat() and subsequent querying of xattrs.
2012-02-18ls: cache ACL- and CAP-querying syscall failuresJim Meyering
Like the optimization to avoid always-failing getfilecon calls, this change avoids always-failing queries for whether a file has a nontrivial ACL and for whether a file has certain "capabilities". When such a query fails for one file (indicating no support), we know it will always fail that way for the affected device. With this change, we have thus eliminated nearly all failing-unsupported getxattr syscalls. * src/ls.c (has_capability) [!HAVE_CAP]: Set errno to ENOTSUP. (errno_unsupported): Expand the list of E* errno values to match that of lib/acl-internal.h's ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED macro. (file_has_acl_cache, has_capability_cache): New functions. (gobble_file): Use them in place of non-caching ones. * NEWS (Improvements): Mention it. Suggested by Sven Breuner in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/2187 While eliminating most getfilecon calls saved about 33%, eliminating these other calls can save almost all of the remaining ~67% cost, on some remote file systems.
2012-02-18ls: optimize for when getfilecon would often fail (~33% perf. gain)Jim Meyering
On systems or file systems without SELinux support, all getfilecon and lgetfilecon calls would fail due to lack of support. We can non- invasively cache such failure (on most recently accessed device) and avoid the vast majority of the failing underlying getxattr syscalls. * src/ls.c (errno_unsupported): New function. (selinux_challenged_device): New file-scoped global. (getfilecon_cache, lgetfilecon_cache): New error-caching wrapper functions. (gobble_file): Use the caching wrappers, for when many *getfilecon calls would fail with ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUPP. Suggested by Sven Breuner in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/2187 Improved-by: Pádraig Brady.

2011-12-12ls: give a more useful diagnostic for a bogus --time-style argJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (decode_switches): Replace our use of XARGMATCH with open-coded version so that we can give a better diagnostic. * tests/ls/time-style-diag: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. Reported by Dan Jacobson in http://bugs.gnu.org/10253 with suggestions from Eric Blake and Paul Eggert.
2011-12-08ls: be responsive to interrupts when color-listing large directoriesJim Meyering
Starting with commit adc30a83, when using --color, ls inhibited interrupts to avoid corrupting the state of an output terminal. However, for very large directories, that inhibition rendered ls uninterruptible for too long, including a potentially long period even before any output is generated. * src/ls.c: Two phases of processing are time-consuming enough that they can provoke this: the readdir loop and the printing loop. The printing was supposed to be covered by a call to process_signals in (print_name_with_quoting): ... but that call was mistakenly guarded by a condition that might be false for many or even all files being processed. Call process_signals unconditionally. (print_dir): Also call process_signals in the readdir loop. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz in http://bugs.gnu.org/10243 Co-authored-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
2011-12-04maint: remove redundant usage declarations (-Wredundant-decls)Jim Meyering

2011-11-12ls: plug a per-argument leakJim Meyering
Using ls -l on an SELinux-enabled system would leak one SELinux context string per non-empty-directory command-line argument. * src/ls.c (free_ent): New function, factored out of... (clear_files): ...here. Use it. (extract_dirs_from_files): Call free_ent (f), rather than simply free (f->name). The latter failed to free the possibly-malloc'd linkname and scontext members, and thus could leak one of those strings per command-line argument. * THANKS.in: Update. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Juraj Marko in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/751974.
2011-11-11ls: -k no longer affects -l's file sizesPaul Eggert
This fixes an incompatibility with POSIX 2008 and with BSD. Problem reported by Abdallah Clark (Bug#9939) via Alan Curry (Bug#10016). * NEWS: Document this. * doc/coreutils.texi (General output formatting): Document the new -k behavior, and --kibibytes. * src/ls.c (file_human_output_opts): New static var. (long_options, usage): Add --kibibytes. (decode_switches, gobble_file, print_long_format): Implement the new -k behavior. * tests/ls/block-size: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
