2014-03-03doc: improve df --human and --si, help and man pagePádraig Brady
* src/df.c (usage): Adjust the --human and --si descriptions to not depend on each other. Also include an example that is illustrative of the rounding, suffix, width, and localized fractions. * src/system.h (emit_size_note). Adjust so that it's obvious the description is pertaining to the input SIZE argument, and not to any sizes that might be output by df for example. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/16922
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.
2013-11-27selinux: adjust utils to run restorecon with -ZPádraig Brady
cp, mv, install, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod are adjusted so that: -Z no longer accepts an argument. -Z or --context without an argument do not warn without SELinux. --context with an argument will warn without SELinux. * src/local.mk: Reference the new selinux module where required. * src/system.h: Make the argument to --context optional. * src/mkdir.c: Likewise. Also handle the SMACK case for --context. Note we currently silently ignore -Z with SMACK. * src/mkfifo.c: Likewise. * src/mknod.c: Likewise. * src/install.c: Likewise. Note install(1) by default already set the context for target files to their system default, albeit with an older method. Use the -Z option to select between the old and new context restoration behavior, and document the differences and details for how context restoration is done in new and old methods, with a view disabling the old method entirely in future. * src/cp.c: Make the argument to --context optional. Note -Z implies --no-preserve=context. I.E. -Z overrides that aspect of -a no matter what order specified. (struct cp_options): Document the context handling options. (main): Check/adjust option combinations after all options are processed, to both simplify processing and to make handling independent of order of options on the command line. Also improve the diagnostics from a failed call to setfscreatecon(). (set_process_security_ctx): A new function, refactored to set the default context from the source file, or with the type adjusted as per the system default for the destination path. (set_file_security_ctx): A new function refactored to set the security context of an existing file, either based on the process context or the default system context for a path. (copy_internal): Use the refactored functions to simplify error handling and consistently fail or warn as needed. (copy_reg): Likewise. (copy_internal): With --preserve=context, also copy context from non regular files. Note for directories this may impact the copying of subsequent files to that directory? (copy_attr): If we're handling SELinux explicitly, then exclude to avoid the redudant copy with --preserve=context, and the problematic copy with -Z. Note SELinux attribute exclusion also now honors cp -a --no-preserve=context. Note there was a very small window over 10 years ago, where attr_copy_file was available, while attr_copy_check_permissions was not, so we don't bother adding an explicit m4 check for the latter function. * src/mv.c: Support --context, but don't allow specifying an argument. * src/chcon.c: Adjust a comment to be specific to SELinux. * src/runcon.c: Likewise. * src/copy.c: Honor the context settings to "restorecon" as appropriate. * src/copy.h: Add a new setting to select "restorecon" functionality. * tests/mkdir/selinux.sh: s/-Z/--context=/ * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.sh: Augment this test with cases testing basic -Z functionality, and also test the various invalid option combinations and option precedence. * tests/mkdir/restorecon.sh: Add a new test for the more involved mkdir -Z handling, since the directory changing and non existent directories need to be specially handled. Also check the similar but simpler handling of -Z by mk{nod,fifo}. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Update as per interface changes. (mv invocation): Likewise. (install invocation): Likewise. (mkfifo invocation): Likewise. (mknod invocation): Likewise. (mkdir invocation): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the new feature and change in behavior.
2013-05-18maint: port --enable-gcc-warnings to clangPaul Eggert
* configure.ac: If clang, add -Wno-format-extra-args and -Wno-tautological-constant-out-of-range-compare. * gl/lib/rand-isaac.c (ind): * gl/lib/randread.c (readisaac): * src/ls.c (dev_ino_push, dev_ino_pop): * src/sort.c (buffer_linelim): * src/system.h (is_nul): * src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Rewrite to avoid casts that clang dislikes. 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].
2013-02-28doc: move some info from all --help messages, onlinePádraig Brady
* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): Link to the bug report email addresses and general help URLs online rather than specifying directly. This give us greater scope to present better info like describing the difference between bug-coreutils@gnu.org and coreutils@gnu.org etc. * tests/misc/help-version.sh: Remove the check for bug-coreutils@gnu.org * tests/local.mk: Remove the no longer needed PACKAGE_BUGREPORT.
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. Also ensure we use gnulib macros rather than defining our own. * src/system.h: Remove gnulib provided macros. * src/chown-core.c: Likewise. * src/chroot.c: Likewise. * src/copy.c: Likewise. * src/csplit.c: Likewise. * src/dd.c: Likewise. * src/expr.c: Likewise. * src/extent-scan.c: Likewise. * src/factor.c: Likewise. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/od.c: Likewise. * src/paste.c: Likewise. * src/ptx.c: Likewise. * src/sort.c: Likewise. * src/stat.c: Likewise. * src/stty.c: Likewise. * src/system.h: Likewise. * src/tac.c: Likewise. * src/test.c: Likewise. * src/tsort.c: Likewise.
2013-02-14build: avoid link failure in devmsg() on older linkersPádraig Brady
On linkers that don't remove unused functions, there will be a reference to a missing dev_debug symbol in the devmsg() function. So for now ... * src/system.h: ... move devmsg() from here ... * src/numfmt.c: ... to here, and document future cleanup. * src/factor.c: Likewise.
2013-02-10maint: consolidate developer debug messagesPádraig Brady
Both factor and numfmt recently introduced debug messages for developers, enabled by --verbose and ---devdebug respectively. There were a few issues though: 1. They used different mechanisms to enable these messages. 2. factor used --verbose which might be needed for something else 3. They used different methods to output the messages, and numfmt used error() which added an unwanted newline 4. numfmt marked all these messages for translation and factor marked a couple. We really don't need these translated. So we fix the above issues here while renaming the enabling option for both commands to ---debug (still undocumented). * src/factor.c (verbose): Rename to dev_debug and change from int to bool as it's just a toggle flag. (long_options): Rename --verbose to ---debug. * src/system.h (devmsg): A new inline function to output a message if enabled by a global dev_debug variable in the compilation unit. * src/numfmt.c: Use devmsg() rather than error(). Also remove the translation tags from these messages. Also change debug flag to bool from int. * tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Adjust for the ---devdebug to ---debug change. * cfg.mk (sc_marked_devdiagnostics): Add a syntax check to ensure translations are not added to devmsg calls. Reported by Göran Uddeborg in http://bugs.gnu.org/13665
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.
2013-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
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.
2012-07-21maint: stzncpy: restrict pointer parametersJim Meyering
* src/system.h (stzncpy): Add "restrict" attribute to each pointer parameter and note in the comment that the buffers must not overlap.
2012-07-15pinky,who: fix bug in latest changeJim Meyering
* src/system.h (stzncpy): New function. * src/pinky.c (print_entry): Use stzncpy, not stpncpy. The latter does not NUL-terminate. I assumed that strncpy was the only function with such a horrible API. Today I learned that stpncpy also may not NUL-terminate its result. The bugs were introduced in commit v8.17-48-gf79263d. * src/who.c (print_user): Likewise. Thanks to Erik Auerswald for spotting my error.
2012-06-22maint: refactor common mode bits used to create filesPádraig Brady
* src/system.h (MODE_RW_UGO): The new refactored define (666). * src/mkfifo.c: Use the new define. * src/mknod.c: Likewise. * src/split.c: Likewise. * src/system.h: Likewise. * src/touch.c: Likewise. * src/truncate.c: Likewise. Suggested-by: Jim Meyering
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.
2012-05-08maint: new function: usable_st_sizeJim Meyering
2012-03-22maint: ensure PATH_MAX is set correctlyPádraig Brady
This reverts part of commit v8.12-103-g54cbe6e. * src/system.h: Include gnulib's pathmax.h to honor system specific limits, and then we set PATH_MAX only if needed. Note pathmax.h no longer uses pathconf ("/", _PC_PATH_MAX). Note I didn't reinstate the comments about limits.h inclusion order, because pathmax.h includes limits.h anyway.
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()
2012-02-24doc: clarify a comment in system.hJim Meyering
* src/system.h (STRNCMP_LIT): Clarify comment. Suggested by Bruno Haible.
2012-01-27maint: use single copyright year rangeJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright".
2012-01-09maint: src/*.[ch]: convert more `...' to '...'Jim Meyering
Run this (twice): git grep -E -l '`.+'\' src/*.[ch] \ |xargs perl -pi -e 's/`(.+?'\'')/'\''$1/'
2012-01-07maint: update quoting of "Try `prog --help'" to "Try 'prog --help'"Jim Meyering
Automatically adjust both the source (now in only one place) and all tests that expect the resulting output via this: git grep -l 'Try.*--help' src/system.h tests \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/Try \\?`(\S+ --help)/Try '\''$1/'
2012-01-07maint: factor out all `Try --help'-emitting statementsJim Meyering
* src/system.h (emit_try_help): New function.
2012-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright".
2011-11-15ls: another reword of generic size noteRuediger Meier
* src/system.h (emit_size_note): Use "unit" rather than "suffix", and move multiplication to example instead of in suffix list. See additional discussion in Bug#9939.
2011-11-11* src/system.h (emit_size_note): Reword for clarity.Paul Eggert
See discussion in Bug#9939.
2011-10-25build: do not remove definition of ENODATA, after allJim Meyering
* src/system.h (ENODATA): Restore definition. gnulib defines it only on native Windows systems, so removing our definition would have provoked build failure on systems that use it, like FreeBSD. Reported by Bruno Haible in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/28739/focus=28795 * gnulib: Update to latest, to get new ENODATA-exempting maint.mk rule.
2011-10-24rm: update gnulib to get an fts fix for Cygwin+NWFS/NcFsd file systemsJim Meyering
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. As far as we know, this fix affects only Cygwin with NWFS or NcFsd file systems. See these: http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=71f13422f3e634 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/28739 http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-10/msg00365.html * src/system.h (ENODATA): Remove fall-back definition, now that gnulib provides one. Caught by the sc_prohibit_always-defined_macros syntax-check rule. Also remove now-irrelevant "Don't use bcopy..." comment.
2011-10-01build: use getgr*_nomembers functions on InterixMarkus Duft
Interix provides faster replacements for getgr{gid,nam,ent} where group member information is not fetched from domain controllers. This makes 'id' usable on domain controlled interix boxes. * m4/jm-macros.m4: Check for _nomembers functions. * src/system.h: Redefine function to _nomembers when available.
2011-09-30ls: avoid reading beyond end of color indicatorJim Meyering
At first this looked like a buffer overrun, since there was no test to ensure that the buffer length was 6. However, since the LS_COLORS string is NUL-terminated and since settings within it are separated by ":" there was neither the risk of reading beyond end of buffer nor risk of a false-positive match. * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Use color_symlink_as_referent rather than manually comparing against "target" again. * src/system.h (STRNCMP_LIT): Correct description in comment.
2011-07-02maint: use "const" and "pure" function attributes where possibleJim Meyering
* configure.ac (WARN_CFLAGS): Add -Wsuggest-attribute=const, -Wsuggest-attribute=pure and -Wsuggest-attribute=noreturn. (GNULIB_WARN_CFLAGS): But do not add them here... yet. * src/chown-core.h (chopt_free, uid_to_name): Add function attribute(s). * src/copy.c (is_ancestor, valid_options): Likewise. * src/copy.h (chown_failure_ok): Likewise. * src/dd.c (operand_matches, operand_is): Likewise. * src/df.c (selected_fstype, excluded_fstype): Likewise. * src/expr.c (null looks_like_integer): Likewise. * src/md5sum.c (hex_digits): Likewise. * src/od.c (get_lcm): Likewise. * src/pathchk.c (component_start, component_len): Likewise. * src/pinky.c (count_ampersands): Likewise. * src/pr.c (cols_ready_to_print): Likewise. * src/ptx.c (search_table): Likewise. * src/sort.c (find_unit_order): Likewise. * src/stty.c (mode_type_flag, string_to_baud, baud_to_value): Likewise. * src/system.h (gcd, lcm): Likewise. * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member, look_up_char_class): Likewise. (star_digits_closebracket): Likewise. * src/uniq.c (find_field): Likewise. * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Likewise. * lib/xfts.h (cycle_warning_required): Likewise. * gl/lib/randint.h (randint_get_source): Likewise. * gl/lib/randperm.c (ceil_lg): Likewise. * gl/lib/randperm.h (randperm_bound): Likewise. * lib/strnumcmp.h (strintcmp): Likewise.
2011-06-25maint: don't use gnulib's pathmax module; define PATH_MAX if neededJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove pathmax. * src/system.h: Don't include "pathmax.h". (PATH_MAX) [!PATH_MAX]: Define to 8192. Defining it to a constant is preferable to using a definition from pathmax.h that might expand to pathconf ("/", _PC_PATH_MAX). Prompted by discussion leading to: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/27183/focus=27269
2011-06-13maint: use stat-size module from gnulibJames Youngman
* gnulib: Update to latest. * src/system.h: Definitions of ST_* macros have moved into the gnulib module stat-size (specifically, the header file stat-size.h), so remove them from here. * src/truncate.c: Include stat-size.h. * src/stat.c: Likewise. * src/shred.c: Likewise. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/du.c: Likewise. * src/ioblksize.h: New file. Move definition of io_blksize out of system.h so that system.h does not have to include stat-size.h. * src/cat.c: Include ioblksize.h. * src/split.c: Likewise. * src/copy.c: Include both stat-size.h and ioblksize.h. * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add ioblksize.h.
2011-06-04build: require at least 2-year old autoconf-2.64 (was 2.62)Jim Meyering
* configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.64, which is nearly two years old. * src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): Use PACKAGE_URL, now that we require autoconf-2.64.
2011-05-08maint: remove -Wmissing-field-initializers workaroundsPádraig Brady
* configure.ac: Rather than disabling -Wmissing-field-initializers, use the fact that gnulib now disables it automatically when required (on versions of GCC older than 4.7). * src/system.h: Remove the no longer needed DECLARE_ZEROED_AGGREGATE. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/pathchk.c: Likewise. * src/shred.c: Likewise. * src/stty.c: Likewise. * src/wc.c: Likewise.
2011-04-03maint: prohibit direct use of strncmp: prefer STREQ_LEN, STRNCMP_LITJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_strncmp): New rule, mostly from libvirt. * src/system.h (STREQ_LEN, STRPREFIX, STRNCMP_LIT): Define. * src/df.c (get_dev, get_point): Convert. * src/extent-scan.c (extent_need_sync): Likewise. * src/ls.c (is_colored, decode_switches): Likewise. (parse_ls_color, (print_color_indicator): Likewise. * src/md5sum.c (split_3): Likewise. * src/split.c (main, emit_ancillary_info): Likewise. * src/tr.c (look_up_char_class): Likewise. * src/uname.c (main): Likewise. * src/who.c (scan_entries): Likewise.
2011-01-13maint: trivial system header file cleanupsPádraig Brady
* src/system.h: Note where it should be included, and make ordering check portable to GLIBC > 2 * src/copy.c: Move <sys/ioctl.h> along with other system headers as is done elsewhere. * src/install.c: Move <sys/wait.h> along with other system headers as is done elsewhere. * src/ptx.c: Include <regex.h> rather than "regex.h" as is done elsewhere. Note <regex.h> is kept after "system.h" as per commit dba300a0.

2009-10-08maint: remove unused macros and declarationsEric Blake
* src/system.h (EDQUOT, EISDIR, ENOSYS, EOVERFLOW, F_OK, X_OK) (W_OK, R_OK): Delete; macros provided by gnulib. (includes): Gnulib guarantees both <time.h> and <sys/time.h>, in either order. (free, malloc, memchr, realloc, getenv, lseek): Delete, gnulib guarantees these declarations. * m4/check-decl.m4 (gl_CHECK_DECLS): Delete checks now done by gnulib.
2009-10-08maint: move timeout exit statusesEric Blake
* src/timeout.c (EXIT_TIMEDOUT, EXIT_CANCELED): Remove as macros... * src/system.h (EXIT_TIMEDOUT, EXIT_CANCELED): ...and provide as enum values instead. * src/stdbuf.c (EXIT_CANCELED): Delete.
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

2009-03-14system.h: correct compilation error: MAX not definedJim Meyering
* src/system.h (io_blksize): Move definition down, so it follows that of MAX -- to avoid compilation failure on OpenSolaris. Reported by David Bartley. Details in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-03/msg00190.html
