2002-01-16 | Add support for POSIX 1003.1-2001, which requires removal for | Jim Meyering | |
support of obsolete "+" option syntax in sort, tail, and uniq. (usage, parse_obsolescent_option): Implement the above. | |||
2001-12-03 | (usage): Don't split translatable strings in the middle of a sentence. | Jim Meyering | |
2001-12-01 | Reflect renaming to, and new usage of these macros: | Jim Meyering | |
HELP_OPTION_DESCRIPTION and VERSION_OPTION_DESCRIPTION. | |||
2001-12-01 | (usage): Use new macros, EMIT_HELP_DESCRIPTION and EMIT_VERSION_DESCRIPTION | Jim Meyering | |
instead of hard-coding --help and --version descriptions. | |||
2001-11-23 | Factor out some common strings to make translation easier. | Jim Meyering | |
Split usage strings so that --help and --version descriptions are alone in their own string. Likewise for the one that says: Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. | |||
2001-11-20 | remove FIXME comment about duplicate code | Jim Meyering | |
2001-11-19 | (xlseek): New function. | Jim Meyering | |
Call it instead of lseek, in most cases, so any failure is reported. | |||
2001-11-17 | (tail_forever): Add a cast. | Jim Meyering | |
2001-11-14 | (file_lines): Remove unnecessary cast. | Jim Meyering | |
(tail_lines): Could have called file_lines even though the first lseek failed. Fix that. | |||
2001-11-13 | split a line that was too long | Jim Meyering | |
2001-11-13 | (file_lines): Add a parameter, start_pos. | Jim Meyering | |
Work properly even when the read pointer is not at beginning of file. (tail_lines): Call file_lines for any regular file, as long as lseek can be used to seek to its end, not just when the initial read pointer is at beginning of file. | |||
2001-11-13 | (tail_lines): Move declaration of local `length' into scope where it's used. | Jim Meyering | |
(tail_file): Likewise for local `stats'. | |||
2001-11-13 | `tail /proc/ksyms' would segfault on Linux. | Jim Meyering | |
(tail_lines): Use status of lseek (...SEEK_END) call in deciding whether to call file_lines or pipe_lines. From Herbert Xu. | |||
2001-11-11 | (xwrite): Remove assertion that size_t N >= 0. | Jim Meyering | |
2001-11-11 | (usage): Split --help output into smaller pieces. | Jim Meyering | |
Use fputs, not printf. | |||
2001-11-04 | (usage): Say that | Jim Meyering | |
``Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.\n\'' | |||
2001-09-30 | tail -F would segfault | Jim Meyering | |
(parse_options): Add missing `break;' from last change. | |||
2001-09-12 | tail: accept new option: -F, equivalent to `--follow=name --retry', | Jim Meyering | |
for compatibility with FreeBSD and NetBSD versions of tail. (usage): Describe new option. (parse_options): Accept it. | |||
2001-07-08 | (usage): Reformat so help2man generates a properly indented man page. | Jim Meyering | |
2001-05-20 | (parse_obsolescent_option): Accept a b suffix. | Jim Meyering | |
2001-05-15 | (parse_obsolescent_option): Use t_count_lines, not | Jim Meyering | |
count_lines, in error message. | |||
2001-03-18 | (usage): Warn that the +N form will be withdrawn. | Jim Meyering | |
2001-01-08 | whoops. move printf args, too | Jim Meyering | |
2001-01-07 | Split a string that was longer than 2048 bytes. | Jim Meyering | |
2000-12-03 | remove instrumentation | Jim Meyering | |
2000-12-03 | add instrumentation to detect some UMRs | Jim Meyering | |
2000-12-03 | (tail_file): Initialize ignore, dev, and ino members, | Jim Meyering | |
when tailing forever and the open failed. Otherwise, we could get uninitialized memory references of those fields in recheck. | |||
2000-12-03 | (OFF_T_MIN): Remove definition. | Jim Meyering | |
(OFF_T_MAX): Likewise. | |||
2000-12-03 | (parse_options): Use xstrtoumax to parse the byte and line | Jim Meyering | |
offset. Give a better diagnostic when the requested offset is still representable but larger than OFF_T_MAX. | |||
2000-08-06 | We know nbytes is 0, so remove it from bail-out test. | Jim Meyering | |
2000-08-06 | (pipe_lines): Declare local `cp' to be const. | Jim Meyering | |
2000-08-06 | (pipe_lines): Add variable `nbytes' so we can free | Jim Meyering | |
`tmp' immediately after read loop. Don't process an empty file. This fixes a buffer-underrun error -- also thanks to bounded pointers. | |||
2000-06-29 | (enum): Remove comma from end of enumerator list. | Jim Meyering | |
From Gerhard Poul <gpoul@gnu.org | |||
2000-05-27 | Arrange to call close_stdout upon exit. | Jim Meyering | |
Don't close stdout explicitly. (usage): Add missing backslash at end of line. (write_header): Remove now-unused COMMENT parameter. Update all callers. | |||
2000-04-17 | Don't remove support for --max-consecutive-size-changes just yet... | Jim Meyering | |
2000-04-16 | Remove option: --max-consecutive-size-changes=N. | Jim Meyering | |
Doesn't seem useful. (usage): Remove description. | |||
2000-04-14 | tweak copyright date | Jim Meyering | |
2000-04-12 | (usage): Tweak --help output. Suggestions from Karl Berry. | Jim Meyering | |
2000-04-09 | (usage): Clarify descriptions of the --max-* options. | Jim Meyering | |
From Karl Berry. | |||
2000-03-04 | Once we encounter a file that is not of IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE, | Jim Meyering | |
marke it as such and ignore it forever after. (struct File_spec): New member. (recheck): Initialize new member. (tail_file): Likewise. (tail_forever): Skip the file if it's marked as ignorable. | |||
2000-03-04 | Don't get failed assertion for `tail -f directory'. | Jim Meyering | |
Revert most of 1999-10-20 change. Instead, ... (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Define to produce similar result. (recheck): Use it here. (tail_file): Use it here. | |||
1999-12-05 | (main): Flush stdout before switching to unbuffered mode | Jim Meyering | |
and calling tail_forever. Required only on Solaris2.7 -- on other systems, using setvbuf to switch to unbufferd mode does the flush. | |||
1999-11-22 | (recheck): Handle a race condition (including <dev,inode> | Jim Meyering | |
reuse) that would lead to a failed assertion. Reported by Ken Pizzini. (tail_forever): Record errno before using it in call to `error' which might change it. (tail_file): Likewise. | |||
1999-11-03 | Fix so that `tail -fn 2 file' works again. | Jim Meyering | |
(anonymous enum) [LONG_FOLLOW_OPTION]: Define. (long_options): Use LONG_FOLLOW_OPTION here, instead of 'f'. (main): Remove the `::' after the `f' in getopt_long string. Add `case LONG_FOLLOW_OPTION' after `case 'f':'. Based on a patch from Tim Waugh. | |||
1999-11-03 | (anonymous enum) [RETRY_OPTION]: Define. | Jim Meyering | |
[MAX_UNCHANGED_STATS_OPTION]: Likewise. [MAX_CONSECUTIVE_SIZE_CHANGES_OPTION]: Likewise. [PID_OPTION]: Likewise. (long_options): Use *_OPTION instead of CHAR_MAX + N. (main): Likewise. | |||
1999-11-03 | (recheck): Don't refuse to tail a non-regular, non-pipe. | Jim Meyering | |
(tail_file): Likewise. | |||
1999-08-15 | (ENOSYS): Define to a bogus value if not already defined. | Jim Meyering | |
(parse_options): Warn if --pid=PID is used and kill() returns ENOSYS (e.g. when compiled with DJGPP). | |||
1999-08-06 | (Follow_mode): Remove comma at end of enumerator list. | Jim Meyering | |
Reported by Kaveh Ghazi. | |||
1999-08-03 | (tail_forever): When following by name and calling recheck | Jim Meyering | |
because of exceeding max_n_consecutive_size_changes_between_opens, `continue' so we don't fall through and (assuming the file finally grew) get the erroneous `file truncated' message. | |||
1999-07-31 | (tail_forever): Don't call kill if pid is 0. | Jim Meyering | |
Detect when `writer_is_dead' also when the writer is some other user. From Karl Heuer. (parse_options): Warn if --pid=PID is used without -f. |
