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.

2014-05-10shred: don't infloop upon negative sizeJim Meyering
* src/shred.c (main): With the preceding change, shred -s-2 FILE would write 64KB blocks forever -- or until disk full. This change makes shred reject a negative size. * tests/misc/shred-negative.sh: New file. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it.
2014-05-10shred: fix overflow checking of command-line optionsPaul Eggert
* src/shred.c (main): Limit -n (number of passes) value to ULONG_MAX, not to UINT32_MAX, since the vars are unsigned long. Limit the -s (file size) value to OFF_T_MAX.
2014-04-05shred: overwrite inode storage used by some file systemsPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Mention some reasons why clearing slack space might be useful. * src/shred.c (do_wipefd): Add initial writes for each pass for small regular files in case the storage for those is in the inode, and thus a larger write up to a block size would bypass that. Move the direct I/O control to... (dopass): ... here so we can avoid enabling it for these small initial writes. It's better to retry direct I/O for each pass anyway to handle the case where direct I/O is disabled for only the last portion of a file when the size is not a multiple of the block size. Note we don't avoid the sync for the initial write as it will be small but more importantly could be on a different part of the disk and so worth doing independently to ensure the write is not discarded. * tests/misc/shred-exact.sh: Check some more direct I/O cases. * NEWS: Mention the improvements. The inode storage issue was mentioned by Paul Eggert.
2014-04-04shred: avoid a data pass on empty filesPádraig Brady
* src/shred.c (do_wipefd): Don't increase the size written for an empty file up to a full block. Also increase the size to OFF_T_MAX in the edge case where we do overflow. * NEWS: Mention the shred improvements from recent changes. * tests/misc/shred-passes.sh: Adjust as we no longer write a BLKSIZE of data for empty files.
2014-04-03shred: shred one block even for empty filesPaul Eggert
* src/shred.c (do_wipefd): Shred one block of empty regular files. This reverts an unintended part of the previous change.
2014-04-02shred: port to GNU/Linux behavior with tape drivesPaul Eggert
See: http://bugs.gnu.org/17149 * src/shred.c [__linux__]: Include <sys/mtio.h>. (dorewind): New function, which works around the lseek problem with tape drives on GNU/Linux, the same way that dd does. (dopass): Use it. New arg ST, needed for dorewind. All uses changed. (do_wipefd): Don't rely on undefined behavior on integer overflow of file sizes. Use INT_ADD_OVERFLOW instead.
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.
2013-11-27shred: provide --remove methods to avoid excessive syncingPádraig Brady
A sync operation is very often expensive. For illustration I timed the following python script which indicated that each ext4 dir sync was taking about 2ms and 12ms, on an SSD and traditional disk respectively. import os d=os.open(".", os.O_DIRECTORY|os.O_RDONLY) for i in range(1000): os.fdatasync(d) So syncing for each character for each file can result in significant delays. Often this overhead is redundant, as only the data is sensitive and not the file name. Even if the names are sensitive, your file system may employ synchronous metadata updates, which also makes explicit syncing redundant. * tests/misc/shred-remove.sh: Ensure all the new parameters actually unlink the file. * doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Describe the new parameters to the --remove option. * src/shred.c (Usage): Likewise. (main): Parse the new options. (wipename): Inspect the new enum to see which of the now optional tasks to perform. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. * THANKS.in: Add reporter Joseph D. Wagner
2013-11-08shred: avoid data write pass with --size=0Pádraig Brady
* src/shred.c (dopass): Exit early to avoid redundant heap allocation, and more importantly avoiding a file sync when we're writting no data, as this can have side effects. Also with --verbose, this avoids printing of "pass status" which could be confusing as to whether data was actually written. * tests/misc/shred-passes.sh: Ensure the status for data passes are not written when not doing any data writes.
2013-11-08shred: increase I/O block size for periodic pattern casePádraig Brady
* src/shred.c (dopass): In the periodic pattern case increase the I/O block size from 12KiB to 60KiB (also a multiple of 3 and 4096). * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
2013-11-08shred: fix direct I/O failures for last write to filePádraig Brady
Since direct I/O is now enabled with commit v8.21-139-gebaf961 we must handle the case where we write an odd size at the end of a file (with --exact), or we specify an odd --size that is larger than 64KiB, or in the very unlikely case of a device with an odd size. This issue was present since direct I/O support was first added in v5.3.0, but latent since v6.0. Theoretically this could have also been an issue after that on systems which didn't have alignment constraints, but did have size constraints for direct I/O. * src/shred.c (dopass): On the first pass for a file, always retry a write that fails with EINVAL, so we handle direct I/O failure at either the start or end of the file. Adjust the comment as the original case is out of date and implicitly handled by this more general fix. * tests/misc/shred-exact.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Add a "bug fix" entry for shred since there are two related issues now fixed.
2013-11-06shred: write larger chunks when possiblePádraig Brady
* src/shred.c (dopass): When not needing to write periodic patterns, use a 64KiB block size to reduce the number of write system calls.
2013-11-05shred: enable direct I/O when possiblePádraig Brady
Commit v5.92-1057-g43d487b introduced a regression in coreutils 6.0 where it removed the page alignment of the buffer to write, thus disabling direct I/O. We want to use direct I/O when possible to avoid impacting the page cache at least, as we know we don't want to cache the data we're writing. * src/shred.c (dopass): Allocate the buffer on the heap, while using a more general calculation to allow to have the output size independent from the fillpattern() size constraint of a multiple of 3. Also we dispense with the union as it's no longer needed given we're aligning on a page boundary and thus don't need to explicitly handle uint32_t alignment.
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.

2011-12-09maint: remove a misleading comment from shred.cJim Meyering
* src/shred.c: Remove obsolete TODO comment. The first two and the last item were done, adding --recursive (-r) is neither necessary nor appropriate, and I don't want to add --interactive. I don't see a need for the others. Prompted by comments from Amr Ali.
2011-06-13maint: use stat-size module from gnulibJames Youngman

* 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.
