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.
2014-09-19doc: 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.

2014-01-02maint: 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.
2013-01-23maint: 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.

2010-03-26nice,chroot: use more standard option parsingPádraig Brady
Related to the 2010-03-25 commit, 88d4b346, "timeout: use more standard option parsing". * src/nice.c (main): Don't use parse_long_options() which is a helper for commands that don't have any long options specific to them. * src/chroot.c (main): Likewise. * tests/misc/nice-fail: Remove a case that now passes due to us accepting multiple instances of the --help and --version options. * tests/misc/chroot-fail: Likewise.

2009-10-28nice, nohup, su: detect write failure to stderrEric Blake
These programs can print non-fatal diagnostics to stderr prior to exec'ing a subsidiary program. However, if we thought the situation warranted a diagnostic, we insist that the diagnostic be printed without error, rather than blindly exec, as it may be a security risk. For an example, try 'nice -n -1 nice 2>/dev/full'. Failure to raise priority (by lowering niceness) is not fatal, but failure to inform the user about failure to change priority is dangerous. * src/nice.c (main): Declare failure if writing advisory message to stderr fails. * src/nohup.c (main): Likewise. * src/su.c (main): Likewise. * tests/misc/nice: Test this. * tests/misc/nohup: Likewise. * NEWS: Document this.
2009-10-26nice: execute program even when setpriority fails due to EACCESJim Meyering
* src/nice.c (perm_related_errno): New function. (main): Use it, rather than testing only errno == EPERM. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-10-23chroot, env, nice, su: use EXIT_CANCELED for internal failureEric Blake
* src/chroot.c (main): Use EXIT_CANCELED, not EXIT_FAILURE. * src/env.c (main): Likewise. * src/nice.c (main): Likewise. * src/su.c (change_identity, main): Likewise. * doc/coreutils.texi (chroot invocation, env invocation) (nice invocation, su invocation): Document this. * NEWS: Likewise. * tests/misc/invalid-opt (exit_status): Adjust expected results. * tests/misc/help-version (expected_failure_status): Likewise.
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

2008-08-26use new global, "Version", rather than macro, VERSIONJim Meyering

New file. * src/version.h: Declare it. * src/Makefile.am: Put it in a library that everyone links to. (noinst_LIBRARIES, libver_a_SOURCES): Define. (LDADD): Add libver.a.

(case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Use Version rather than VERSION. * src/basename.c (main): Use Version rather than VERSION. * src/chroot.c (main): Likewise. * src/cksum.c (main): Likewise. * src/dd.c (main): Likewise. * src/dirname.c (main): Likewise. * src/echo.c (main): Likewise. * src/hostid.c (main): Likewise. * src/hostname.c (main): Likewise. * src/link.c (main): Likewise. * src/logname.c (main): Likewise. * src/nice.c (main): Likewise. * src/nohup.c (main): Likewise. * src/printenv.c (main): Likewise. * src/printf.c (main): Likewise. * src/pwd.c (main): Likewise. * src/setuidgid.c (main): Likewise. * src/sleep.c (main): Likewise. * src/sync.c (main): Likewise. * src/test.c (main): Likewise. * src/timeout.c (main): Likewise. * src/true.c (main): Likewise. * src/tsort.c (main): Likewise. * src/unlink.c (main): Likewise. * src/uptime.c (main): Likewise. * src/users.c (main): Likewise. * src/whoami.c (main): Likewise. * src/yes.c (main): Likewise.

2005-12-28Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.Jim Meyering
2005-09-09(main): Hoist errno=0 outside the ifdef.Paul Eggert
2005-09-08Use the phrase "niceness" instead of "nice value" to describePaul Eggert
the biased nice value that can go negative. This corrects a discrepancy with POSIX, which states that nice values are nonnegative.
2005-06-16Don't embed `this'-style quotes in format strings.Jim Meyering
Include "quote.h". Rather than this: error (..., "...`%s'...", arg); do this: error (..., "...%s...", quote (arg));

2005-02-15(NZERO) [NZERO == 0]: Undefine and define to 20,Jim Meyering
to work around the invalid definition from Darwin 7.7.0.
2004-07-26(GET_NICE_VALUE): Renamed from GET_PRIORITY.Paul Eggert
All uses changed. (NZERO): New macro, if system doesn't define it already. (usage): Distinguish priorities from nice values. Don't assume NZERO is 20. (main): Use bool instead of int where appropriate. If user specifies an adjustment out of range, always truncate it to an inrange value instead of sometimes giving an error message and sometimes not. Do not assume that -1 is an error return from "nice" or "getpriority", as it might be the current nice value minus NZERO. If nice/setpriority fails with errno == EPERM, go ahead and run the command anyway; POSIX requires this.
2004-01-21(usage): Use EXIT_SUCCESS, not 0, for clarity.Jim Meyering
(main): Initialize exit_failure to EXIT_FAIL. (main): Exit with status EXIT_FAIL, not EXIT_FAILURE, on error; this is in case EXIT_FAILURE is unusual.

parse_long_options, so that it works even on systems for which sizeof char* != sizeof int.
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.
2003-09-18(WRITTEN_BY): Rename from AUTHORS.Jim Meyering
Begin each WRITTEN_BY string with `Written by ' and end it with `.'. Mark each WRITTEN_BY string as translatable.
