2012-06-05maint: mark new diagnostic for translationJim Meyering
* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_seekable): Mark new diagnostic. I will look at the results of "make syntax-check", I will look...
2012-06-05head: with --lines=-N (-n-N) reset file pointer on seekable inputJim Meyering
* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_seekable): Reset file pointer after printing up to an end-relative line-counted offset. Anoop Sharma reported the problem and suggested the fix. * tests/misc/head-pos: Add coverage via a very similar, existing test. Also add coverage for a previously untested block of code. * tests/misc/head-elide-tail ($READ_BUFSIZE): Update to 8192, to match the value of BUFSIZ I see today on Fedora 17/x86_64 (unrelated to this fix). * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Improved-by: Pádraig Brady
2012-06-01stat,tail: recognize new file system type: panfsJim Meyering
* src/stat.c (human_fstype) [__linux__]: Add a 'case' for the new remote file system type: panfs (0xAAD7AAEA). * NEWS (New features): Mention stat -f. (Bug fixes): Mention it for tail -f. Reported by Travis Gummels in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/827199
2012-05-28cksum: line-buffer the printed checksumsPádraig Brady
This utility was inadvertently omitted from commit v8.0-34-g710fe41 * src/cksum.c (main): Set stdout to line buffered mode, to ensure parallel running instances don't intersperse their output. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * THANKS.in: Add Anoop. Reported by Anoop Sharma.
2012-05-21maint: remove comment that suggested to remove support for mktemp -VJim Meyering
* src/mktemp.c (main): Don't suggest to remove support for -V, an undocumented alias for --version, since that would introduce a gratuitous incompatibility with the original mktemp program.
2012-05-21dircolors: add st/st-256color terminal typesMike Frysinger
See http://st.suckless.org/ * src/dircolors.hin: Add st and st-256color. Reported-by: Jeroen Roovers <jer@gentoo.org>, via Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> in http://bugs.gnu.org/11498
2012-05-20id,groups: use gidtostr/uidtostr to avoid castsJim Meyering
* src/id.c (gidtostr, uidtostr): Define macros. (gidtostr_ptr, uidtostr_ptr): Define safer functions. Use gidtostr and uidtostr to print GID and UID without need/risk of casts. * src/group-list.c: Likewise.
2012-05-16maint: tell xgettext that fputs arg "93% of..." is not a C format stringJim Meyering
* src/fmt.c (usage): Add a comment to tell xgettext that the "% o" in fputs argument string of "...93% of..." is not a C format string. Reported by Toomas Soome, Göran Uddeborg, Petr Pisar, Primoz PETERLIN and Chusslove Illich via http://bugs.gnu.org/11470
2012-05-16maint: add assertions to placate static analysis toolsJim Meyering
A static analysis tool (http://labs.oracle.com/projects/parfait/) produced some false positive diagnostics. Add assertions to help it understand that the code is correct. * src/stty.c: Include <assert.h>. (display_changed): Add an assertion to placate parfait. (display_all): Likewise. * src/sort.c: Include <assert.h>. (main): Add an assertion to placate parfait. * src/fmt.c: Include <assert.h>. (get_paragraph): Add an assertion to placate parfait.
2012-05-16stat: report the correct block size for file system usagePádraig Brady
struct statfs has the f_frsize member since Linux 2.6, so use that rather than f_bsize which can be different. Note the related df change mentioned in NEWS is handled in gnulib by using statvfs() rather than statfs() on Linux > 2.6.36 (where statvfs doesn't hang) and the same method as stat for Linux 2.6 kernels earlier than that. stat(1) doesn't use statvfs() on GNU/Linux as the f_type member isn't available there. Note the change to not use statvfs() on GNU/Linux was introduced in gnulib commit eda39b8 16-08-2003. * m4/stat-prog.m4 (cu_PREREQ_STAT_PROG): Check for the f_frsize member in the statfs structure. * src/stat.c: Use (struct statfs).f_frsize if available. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this stat fix, and the related df fix coming in the next gnulib update. * THANKS.in: Add Nikolaus. Reported and Tested by Nikolaus Rath
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.
2012-05-10stat,tail: recognize new FS types: bdevfs, inodefs, qnx6Jim Meyering
* src/stat.c (human_fstype) [__linux__]: Add 'case's for these local file system types: bdevfs (0x62646576), inodefs (0x42494E4D), qnx6 (0x68191122). Now that the kernel has a name for S_MAGIC_BINFMTFS, use theirs in place of our S_MAGIC_BINFMT_MISC. * NEWS (New features): Mention it.
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.
2012-05-09stat: don't report negative file size as huge positive numberPaul Eggert
* src/stat.c (print_stat): Use out_int, not out_uint for stat.st_size. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2012-05-08split: avoid apparent infloop when splitting /dev/zero w/-n on the HurdJim Meyering
* src/split.c (main): Use stat.st_size only for regular files. Samuel Thibault reported in http://bugs.gnu.org/11424 that the /dev/zero-splitting tests would appear to infloop on GNU/Hurd, because /dev/zero's st_size is LONG_MAX. It was only a problem when using the --number (-n) option. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. This bug was introduced with the --number option, via commit v8.7-25-gbe10739
2012-05-08maint: new function: usable_st_sizeJim Meyering
2012-05-08maint: fix common spelling errorsKevin Lyda
These were identified using: https://github.com/lyda/misspell-check executed like: git ls-files | misspellings -f - * src/cat.c: Correct a spelling error. * src/comm.c: Likewise. * src/expr.c: Likewise. * src/pr.c: Likewise. * src/tac.c: Likewise. * src/test.c: Likewise. * src/ChangeLog-2005: Likewise. * src/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise. * src/NEWS: Likewise. * src/doc/coreutils.texi: Likewise. * src/lib/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise. * src/man/help2man: Likewise. * src/old/fileutils/ChangeLog-1997: Likewise. * src/old/fileutils/NEWS: Likewise. * src/old/sh-utils/ChangeLog.0: Likewise. * src/old/textutils/ChangeLog: Likewise. * src/tests/misc/comm: Likewise. * src/tests/misc/uniq: Likewise. * src/tests/mv/dir2dir: Likewise. * src/cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): update with `make update-NEWS-hash`
2012-05-07cp: handle a race condition more sensiblyJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): In a narrow race (stat sees dest, yet open-without-O_CREAT fails with ENOENT), retry the open with O_CREAT. * tests/cp/nfs-removal-race: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Philipp Thomas and Neil F. Brown in http://bugs.gnu.org/11100
2012-05-04maint: rely on gnulib's new sys_resource moduleJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_resource. * src/sort.c: Remove #if HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H guard around inclusion of <sys/resource.h> and move the inclusion "up" into the alphabetized list of its peers. This also avoids a failure of the sc_prohibit_always_true_header_tests syntax-check rule. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Remove sys/resource.h.
2012-05-02cp,mv,install: provide POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL hint to inputPádraig Brady
This was inadvertently omitted from v8.5-104-g47076e3, and gives the same 5% speedup when copying from an SSD. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Apply the FADVISE_SEQUENTIAL hint.
2012-05-02maint: adjust comments to avoid FP match on binary-operator-at-EOLJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (print_long_format): Reformat comment to avoid "==" at end of line. Also, "sortkey" is not a word: s/sortkey/sort key/. * src/ioblksize.h: Likewise, for "|" from a shell snippet. * src/runcon.c: Likewise, for "|" in grammar-like usage.
2012-05-02maint: with split lines, don't leave an operator at end of lineJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Split an expression before a binary operator, not after it. * src/cut.c (set_fields): Likewise. * src/id.c (main): Likewise. * src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): Likewise. * src/join.c (ignore_case): Likewise. * src/pr.c (cols_ready_to_print, init_parameters, print_page): Likewise. * src/stty.c (set_window_size): Likewise. * src/wc.c (SUPPORT_OLD_MBRTOWC): Likewise. * src/who.c (scan_entries): Likewise. * src/test.c (binary_operator): Join a split line. * src/extent-scan.c (extent_scan_read): Move an ">" from end of line to beginning of the following. Likewise for two other expressions.
2012-04-30cat,cp,mv,install,split: Set the minimum IO block size used to 64KiBPádraig Brady
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. * src/ioblksize.h: Add updated test results and increase value from 32KiB to 64KiB.
2012-04-27id: -Zn/-Zr: avoid an invalid diagnosticJim Meyering
* src/id.c (main): Using -Z with -r or -n would fail with "id: cannot print only names or real IDs in default format", in spite of that "-Z", which specifies a non-default format. Now, it succeeds and ignores the -n or -r option. The error was that the test for default_format was not updated when I added the new --context (-Z) option in commit v6.9-33-g5320d0f.
2012-04-27id: don't call getcon unnecessarilyJim Meyering
* src/id.c (main): Invocations like "id" and "id -G" would call getcon to determine the current security context even though that result would not be used. Similarly, when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. Rearrange conditionals and hoist the POSIXLY_CORRECT test so that we call getcon only when necessary.
2012-04-27maint: id: minor factorizationJim Meyering
* src/id.c (main): Factor out uses of "argc - optind". Move option-consistency checks to precede the potential getcon call.
2012-04-27id,groups: with no user name, print only real and/or effective IDs,Jim Meyering
... i.e., don't use the getpw* functions. Before this change, running groups or id with no user name argument would include a group name or ID from /etc/passwd. Thus, under unusual circumstances (default group is changed, but has not taken effect for a given session), those programs could print a name or ID that is neither real nor effective. To demonstrate, run this: echo 'for i in 1 2; do id -G; sleep 1.5; done' \ |su -s /bin/sh ftp - & sleep 1; perl -pi -e 's/^(ftp:x:\d+):(\d+)/$1:9876/' /etc/passwd Those id -G commands printed the following: 50 50 9876 With this change, they print this: 50 50 Similarly, running those programs set-GID could make them print one ID too many. * src/group-list.c (print_group_list): When username is NULL, pass egid, not getpwuid(ruid)->pw_gid), to xgetgroups, per the API requirements of xgetgroups callee, mgetgroups. When not using the password database, don't call getpwuid. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/id-setgid: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. (root_tests): It's a root-only test, so add it here, too. Originally reported by Brynnen Owen as http://bugs.gnu.org/7320. Raised again by Marc Mengel in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/816708.
2012-04-19maint: tac: use memcpy, not strcpyJim Meyering
* src/tac.c (main): Use memcpy, not strcpy, since we know the length.
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.
2012-04-16maint: replace a use of strcpy in chmod.c with memcpyJim Meyering
* src/chmod.c (main): Use memcpy rather than strcpy, since we already have the length handy.
2012-04-12fmt: accept new --goal=WIDTH (-g) optionBruce Korb
Accept -g for BSD/Plan9 compatibility. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * tests/fmt/goal-option: New test. * tests/fmt/long-line: Rename from tests/fmt-long-line. * tests/fmt/base: Rename from tests/misc/fmt. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document it. * src/fmt.c (main): Accept the new option (check_for_goals): new function to implement the operands Based on BSD's and Plan-9's fmt programs.
2012-04-12cp: change --attributes-only to not truncate existing filesPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't truncate an existing file, to support copying attributes between existing files. The original use case only considered creating new files, and it would be a very unusual use case to be relying on the truncating behavior. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention the non truncating behavior. * tests/cp/attr-existing: A new test to ensure O_TRUNC skipped. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
2012-03-28chmod: undo previous changePaul Eggert
It's not portable; see <http://bugs.gnu.org/11108#17>. * src/chmod.c, NEWS: Undo previous change.
2012-03-28chmod: fix symlink race conditionPaul Eggert
* NEWS: Document this. * src/chmod.c (process_file): Don't follow symlink if we think the file is not a symlink.
2012-03-26doc: use $(...), not `...` in documentation and commentsJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (dircolors invocation, Examples of expr): (shred invocation, seq invocation): Use $(...), not `...`. * src/mv.c (do_move): Likewise, in a comment.
2012-03-22ln: add the --relative optionHarald Hoyer
With the "--relative --symbolic" options, ln computes the relative symbolic link for the user. So, ln works just as cp, but creates relative symbolic links instead of copying the file. I miss this feature since the beginning of using ln. $ tree ./ / `-- usr |-- bin `-- lib `-- foo `-- foo 4 directories, 1 file $ ln -s -v --relative usr/lib/foo/foo usr/bin/foo ‘usr/bin/foo’ -> ‘../lib/foo/foo’ $ tree ./ / `-- usr |-- bin | `-- foo -> ../lib/foo/foo `-- lib `-- foo `-- foo 4 directories, 2 files $ ln -s -v --relative usr/bin/foo usr/lib/foo/link-to-foo ‘usr/lib/foo/link-to-foo’ -> ‘foo’ $ tree ./ / `-- usr |-- bin | `-- foo -> ../lib/foo/foo `-- lib `-- foo |-- link-to-foo -> foo `-- foo 4 directories, 3 files * src/Makefile.am: Reference the relpath module. * src/ln.c (usage): Mention the new option. (do_link): Call the relative conversion if specified. (convert_abs_rel): Perform the relative conversion using the relpath module. * tests/ln/relative: Add a new test. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document the new feature. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2012-03-22maint: refactor relpath() from `realpath` for use by `ln`Pádraig Brady
* src/relpath.c: Refactored from realpath.c and adjusted to support returning the relative path rather than just printing to stdout. * src/relpath.h: Export the relpath function. * src/Makefile.am: Reference the refactored relpath module. * po/POTFILES.in: Likewise. * src/realpath.c: Adjust to the refactored relpath module.
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.
2012-03-21maint: use more modern fseeko, rather than fseekJim Meyering
* src/tac.c (temp_stream): Use fseeko, not fseek, on principle: use the more modern interface. In general it is better to avoid fseek due to its ABI-imposed 4GiB limit on the "offset", here its use was fine because the offset was always 0. Using fseeko also has the advantage of not triggering a GNULIB_POSIXCHECK warning. Reported by Eric Blake in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/2426/focus=2489
2012-03-15realpath: optimize --relative-base usageEric Blake
There is no need to recompute for every path being visited whether the base is a prefix of the relative location. * src/realpath.c (relpath): Hoist base check... (main): ...here. Based on a suggestion by Pádraig Brady.
2012-03-15realpath: let --relative-to default to --relative-baseEric Blake
Most of the time, if someone wants to filter which paths are relative while leaving all others absolute, they also want to to the filtering based on the same --relative-to directory. Make this easier to specify. * src/realpath.c (main): Convert error to default. * doc/coreutils.texi (realpath invocation): Document this. * tests/misc/realpath: Adjust test to match. * NEWS: Document it.
2012-03-15realpath: fix problems with root handlingEric Blake
When --relative-base is /, all other paths should be treated as relative (except for // where it matters). Also, on platforms like Cygwin where / and // are distinct, realpath was incorrectly collapsing // into /. http://debbugs.gnu.org/10472. * src/realpath.c (path_prefix, path_common_prefix): Treat / and // as having no common match. (relpath): Allow for no match even without --relative-base. * NEWS: Document this.
2012-03-10dirname: support more than one argumentJérémy Compostella
* src/dirname.c (main): Handle new -z option and manage more than one argument. * doc/coreutils.texi (dirname invocation): Mention it. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * tests/misc/dirname: Add a two arguments test.
2012-03-10split: support an arbitrary number of split files by defaultJérémy Compostella
* src/split.c (next_file_name): If `suffix_auto' is true and the first suffix character is 'z', generate a new file file name adding `z' to the prefix and increasing the suffix length by one. (set_suffix_length): Disable auto suffix width in various cases. * tests/split/suffix-auto-length: Test it. * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Mention it. * NEWS (Improvements): Likewise.
2012-03-08chmod: add notations +40, 00440, etc.Paul Eggert
* NEWS: Document this. * doc/perm.texi (Operator Numeric Modes): New section. (Numeric Modes, Directory Setuid and Setgid): Document new behavior. * src/chmod.c (usage): Document new behavior. (main): Support new options -0, -1, etc. * tests/chmod/setgid: Test these new features.
2012-03-08du: fix -x: don't ignore non-directory argumentsJim Meyering
Surprise! "du -x non-DIR" would print nothing. Note that the problem arises only when processing a non-directory specified on the command line. Not surprisingly, "du -x" still works as expected for any directory argument. When performing its same-file-system check, du may skip an entry only if it is at fts_level 1 or greater. Command-line arguments are at fts_level == 0 (FTS_ROOTLEVEL). * src/du.c (process_file): Don't use the top-level FTS->fts_dev when testing for --one-file-system (-x). It happens to be valid for directories, but it is always 0 for a non-directory. * tests/du/one-file-system: Add tests for this. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Daniel Stavrovski in http://bugs.gnu.org/10967. Introduced by commit v8.14-95-gcfe1040.
2012-03-07basename: support more than one argumentJérémy Compostella
* src/basename.c (perform_basename): New function refactored from main() that performs the basename work on a STRING, optionally removes a trailing SUFFIX and outputs the result. (main): Handle new options. * doc/coreutils.texi (basename invocation): Mention new options. * test/misc/basename: Add new options test cases. * NEWS (New features): Mention it.
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()
2012-02-29doc: timeout: document the exit status when run with "-s KILL"Rodrigo Campos
* src/timeout.c (usage): Document the exit status for this case, in --help and thus in the man page. Word so that it covers both the -s9 and -k options. * doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Document the exit status for this case.
