2016-07-18sort: make -h work with -k and blank used as thousands separatorKamil Dudka
* src/sort.c (traverse_raw_number): Allow to skip only one occurrence of thousands_sep to avoid finding the unit in the next column in case thousands_sep matches as blank and is used as column delimiter. * tests/misc/sort-h-thousands-sep.sh: Add regression test for this bug. * tests/local.mk: Reference the test. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1355780 Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24015

2016-06-29stty: fix sane setting of susp to ^z on SolarisPádraig Brady
* src/stty.c: Disable setting of "swtch" to ^z as that conflicts with and disables using ^z as "susp". * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Reported and tested by Rich Burridge at: http://bugs.gnu.org/23866
2016-06-25maint: simplify partial writes etc. in 'yes'Paul Eggert
* src/yes.c: Include full-write.h. (main): Use full_write, not write, to simplify handling of partial writes. Don't bother using stdio to output data; just use full_write with a buffer as large as needed. Reuse operand strings if possible, and if the buffer would otherwise be large.
2016-06-24yes: handle short writesPádraig Brady
* src/yes.c (main): Loop over the write buffer to handle the case where write may write less than requested. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Reported by Paul Eggert.
2016-06-24yes: fix copy and paste issue with previous commitPádraig Brady

2016-05-15dircolors: output colors for any $TERM matching *color*Pádraig Brady
* src/dircolors.hin: Reduce the list by replacing all specific mentions of "color" with the pattern "*color*". This will also cater for other entries like "konsole-256color". Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/23542
2016-05-14nl: reset numbering for each sectionKOBAYASHI Takashi
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix. * src/nl.c (proc_body, proc_footer): Reset numbering here too. * doc/coreutils.texi (nl invocation): Adjust for behavior change. * tests/misc/nl.sh: Add a test case.
2016-05-12stat,tail: add support for the SMB2 remote file systemPádraig Brady
* stc/stat.c (human_fstype): Add file system ID definition, and use "smb2" as the name. * NEWS (Improvements): Mention the change. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/23516
2016-05-04maint: avoid new warning from gcc (GCC) 7.0.0 20160503 (experimental)Jim Meyering
* src/id.c (main): When configured with --enable-gcc-warnings and using the very latest gcc built from git, building would fail with this: src/id.c:200:8: error: assuming signed overflow does not occur when \ simplifying conditional to constant [-Werror=strict-overflow] bool default_format = (just_user + just_group + just_group_list ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rewrite to use bool-appropriate operators.
2016-04-24seq: detect and report I/O errors immediatelyAssaf Gordon
Ensure I/O errors are detected (and terminate seq), preventing seq from infloop (or running for long time with a large range) upon write errors or ignored SIGPIPE. Examples: seq 1 inf > /dev/full (seq_fast) seq 1.1 0.1 inf >/dev/full (print_numbers) * src/seq.c (io_error): A new function to diagnose appropriate stdio errors and exit the program with failure status. (seq_fast, print_numbers): Explicitly check for write errors and terminate the program with diagnostic. * tests/misc/seq-io-errors.sh: Test error detection with /dev/full. * tests/misc/seq-epipe.sh: Test error detection with broken pipes. * tests/local.mk: Add new tests. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2016-04-22stat,tail: add support for Windows Subsystem for LinuxPádraig Brady
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add file system ID definition, and use "wslfs" as the name. * NEWS (Improvements): Mention the change. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/23273
2016-04-21yes: avoid redundant diagnostics on write errorPádraig Brady
* src/yes.c (main): For large inputs only write a single diagnostic for write errors. * tests/misc/yes.sh: Test when /dev/full is available.
2016-04-21sleep,timeout: support overflowing floating point valuesPádraig Brady
* src/sleep.c (main): Allow ERANGE since we allow "inf" values. * src/timeout.c (parse_duration): Likewise. * tests/misc/sleep.sh: New file. Tests for sleep(1). * tests/misc/timeout-parameters.sh: Add case for newly allowed $LDBL_MAX. Also use returns_ throughout the file. Also avoid small timeout values which might give false failures under load.
2016-04-14seq: do not allow NaN argumentsBernhard Voelker
* src/seq.c (isnan): Define macro. (scan_arg): Add check if the given argument is NaN, and exit with a proper error diagnostic in such a case. (usage): Document it. * tests/misc/seq.pl: Add tests. * doc/coreutils.texi (seq invocation): Document the change. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention the change.
2016-04-14seq: do not allow 0 as increment valueBernhard Voelker
* src/seq.c (main): Exit with an error diagnostic when the given step value is Zero. (usage): Document it. * doc/coreutils.texi (seq invocation): Likewise. * tests/misc/seq.pl: Add tests. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention the change. Reported by Маренков Евгений in: http://bugs.gnu.org/23110
2016-04-14stat,tail: add support for M1FSYigal Korman
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add file system ID definition. * NEWS (Improvements): Mention the change, moving the previously added "prl_fs" change note from "Changes in behavior" to here. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/23283
2016-03-31stat: report type for "prl_fs" file systemsPádraig Brady
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Identify the parallels file system. Also tag as remote so that tail(1) doesn't use inotify, which fails to detect changes made outside a VM. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/23143
2016-03-17date ls pr: fix time zone abbrs on SysV platformsPaul Eggert
The problematic code computed a struct tm in one time zone, and then printed it or converted it to a string in another. To be portable the same time zone needs to be used for both operations. On GNU platforms this is not an issue, but incorrect output can be generated on System V style platforms like AIX where time zone abbreviations are available only in the 'tzname' global variable. Problem reported by Assaf Gordon in: http://bugs.gnu.org/23035 * NEWS: Document the bug. * src/date.c (show_date): * src/ls.c (long_time_expected_width, print_long_format): * src/pr.c (init_header): * src/stat.c (human_time): Use localtime_rz instead of localtime, so that the time zone information is consistent for both localtime and time-formatting functions like fprintftime and nstrftime. For 'stat' this change is mostly just a code cleanup but it also causes stat to also print nanoseconds when printing time stamps that are out of localtime range, as this is more consistent with what other programs do. For programs other than 'stat' this fixes bugs with time zone formats that use %Z. * src/du.c, src/pr.c (localtz): New static var. (main): Initialize it. * src/du.c (show_date): New time zone argument, so that localtime and fprintftime use the same time zone information. All callers changed. * tests/misc/time-style.sh: New file. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it. * tests/misc/date.pl: Test alphabetic time zone abbreviations.
2016-03-04test: Document that -a and -o are undesirableEric Blake
POSIX recommends avoiding -a and -o, for good reason. src/test.c (usage): Mention that inherent ambiguities exist with binary -a and -o. Problem reported by Martin Gebert in: http://bugs.gnu.org/22909
2016-02-23all: be less strict about usage if POSIX 2008Paul Eggert
sort, tail, and uniq now support traditional usage like 'sort +2' and 'tail +10' on systems conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2008 and later. * NEWS: Document this. * doc/coreutils.texi (Standards conformance, tail invocation) (sort invocation, uniq invocation, touch invocation): Document new behavior, or behavior's dependence on POSIX 1003.1-2001. * src/sort.c (struct keyfield.traditional_used): Rename from obsolete_used, since implementations are now allowed to support it. All uses changed. (main): Allow traditional usage if _POSIX2_VERSION is 200809. * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Distinguish between traditional usage (which POSIX 2008 and later allows) and obsolete (which it still does not). * src/uniq.c (strict_posix2): New function. (main): Allow traditional usage if _POSIX2_VERSION is 200809. * tests/misc/tail.pl: Test for new behavior.
2016-02-16date: free timezone variable to avoid valgrind warningDaniel Lockyer
* src/date.c (main): Free TZ variable to pacify valgrind, guarded by IF_LINT.
2016-02-15split: adjust recent --number changesPádraig Brady
* src/split.c (lines_rr): Reinstate the conditional setting of the WROTE boolean, as otherwise split -n r/1 would consume all input when all --filter commands are stopped. There was a test in place to check for this, but it was incorrect as detailed below. (input_file_size): Immediately disallow --number with non seekable inputs, as such an invocation is not currently generally supported and will fail as the data overflows the internal buffer. * tests/split/l-chunk.sh: Adjust to again disallow -n /dev/zero. Also change all '&& fail=1' checks to use the 'returns_ 1' form. * tests/split/filter.sh: Change the no longer supported /dev/zero case to a regular $OFF_T_MAX file (supported on XFS for example). Also fix the timeout(1) commands so they're not subject to pipefail issues.
2016-02-15stty: fix translated --help so the gettext header is not printedGöran Uddeborg
* src/stty.c (usage): Remove an erroneous call to translate an empty string, added in commit v8.23-112-g564f84a, which results in the gettext header being printed for translated languages. * THANKS.in: Remove the now committer. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2016-02-12split: fix problems with /dev/zeroPaul Eggert
Problem reported by Nelson H.F. Beebe in: http://bugs.gnu.org/22624 Other problems also fixed: basically, the code got confused because GNU/Linux reports that /dev/zero has size zero. * src/split.c (input_file_size): Now takes struct stat *, not just size. Always store the first buffer. All callers changed. Treat /dev/zero as an infinitely-large file, both on GNU/Linux where fstat and lseek say its size is zero, and on GNU/Hurd where they say the size is OFF_T_MAX. (cwrite): Return true on success. (bytes_split): Don't try to read past EOF, and stop if a write fails. (lines_rr): Omit stray check for ignorable errno. (main): Get file size only when n_units > 1, since that's the only time it is needed. Defer most of the work to input_file_size. * tests/split/l-chunk.sh: Adjust tests to match new behavior on oddball inputs.
2016-01-29doc: fix the --iso-8601 example in date --helpVincent Lefevre
* src/date.c (usage): The colon is used in the timezone offset since commit v8.24-64-g17bbf6c. * THANKS.in: Remove committer. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/22491
2016-01-24build: avoid dynamic linking issue on Solaris sparcPádraig Brady
Solaris Studio 12 on sparc (not x86) will not remove unused functions, thus leaving a reference to an undefined program_name symbol from emit_try_help(). * src/system.h (emit_try_help): Change from an inline function to a macro, so that the inline function is not actually defined in libstdbuf.c. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/22430
2016-01-19tail: disable inotify with only non existent filesPádraig Brady
tests/tail-2/F-headers.sh and test/tail-2/retry.sh fail on on remote file systems due to tail going into inotify mode due to not being able to determine the remoteness of the non existent files. * src/tail.c (any_non_remote_file): A new function used to disable inotify when there are no open files, as we can't determine remoteness in that case. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2016-01-16mv: consistently warn about multiply specified source dirsPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy internal): Remember directories irrespective of their link count, because on some file systems like BTRFS, directories always have a link count of 1.
2016-01-15tests: simplify invalid signal determination for kill -lPádraig Brady
* src/operand2sig.c (operand2sig): Add a detailed comment explaining why we validate even very large shell exit status values. * tests/misc/kill.sh: Add a test case for the ksh scheme. Simplify the INVALID signal number determination which also avoids a false failure on systems like FreeBSD 10 with incomplete signal list (caused by inaccurate NSIG).
2016-01-14sort: with --debug, flag setlocale() failures on OpenBSDPádraig Brady
Locale categories are not equivalent on OpenBSD, and LC_COLLATE only supports "C" for example. Now LC_ALL is supported to set multiple other categories on OpenBSD, so setlocale(LC_ALL, "") returns a string indicating which categories were updated and which ignored. Therefore... * src/sort.c (main): ...Call setlocale(LC_COLLATE, "") to explicitly check whether a specified LC_ALL or LC_COLLATE environment variable value is supported for the LC_COLLATE category. Also use !! to explicitly convert to bool to support c89 systems where bool is an int, and thus would get values > 1. Reported by Assaf Gordon.
2016-01-13doc: suggest dd "sync" flag to maximize "nocache" effectivenessPádraig Brady
doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Add oflag=sync to the streaming example. Also reference the "direct" flag. Mention this is only a request to the system. * src/dd.c (usage): Mention the "sync" flag along with "nocache". Also mention that it's only a request to drop the cache. * THANKS.in: Add reporter Francois Rigault.
2016-01-13doc: mention the '0#' printf flags with stat %aPádraig Brady
* src/stat.c (usage): Mention the '#' and '0' flags are useful with %a. * doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Likewise. Also give an example printing unambiguous octal output. Reported at http://bugs.debian.org/810539
2016-01-13mv: fix data loss with repeated source dir and same destinationPádraig Brady
commit v8.23-31-g90aa291 failed to consider this case, where the previous rename has failed, thus causing the following to remove the specified directory: mv dir dir dir * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Assume this rename attempt has succeeded, as a previous failure will already have been handled, and we don't want to remove the source directory in this case. * tests/cp/duplicate-sources.sh: Consolidate this test file to... * tests/mv/dup-source.sh: ...here. Add test cases for same source and dest. * tests/local.mk: Remove the consolidated test. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1297464
2016-01-13wc: avoid ambiguous output with '\n' in file namesPádraig Brady
* src/wc.c (write_counts): Shell escape the file name if it contains '\n' so only a single line per file is output. * tests/misc/wc-files0.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2016-01-13numfmt: add the -z,--zero-terminated optionAssaf Gordon
* doc/coreutils.texi (numfmt invocation): Reference the description. * src/numfmt.c: Parameterize '\n' references. * tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Add tests for character and field processing. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2016-01-13paste: add the -z,--zero-terminated optionPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (paste invocation): Reference -z description. * src/paste.c (main): Parameterize the use of '\n'. * tests/misc/paste.pl: Add test cases. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2016-01-13comm: support NUL --output-delimiter for consistencyPádraig Brady
* src/comm.c (main): Track the output delimiter length, so that it can be adjusted to 1 for the NUL delimiter. Also rename the global variable from "delimiter" to "col_sep" so its use is more obvious, and to distinguish from the recently added "delim" global variable. * tests/misc/comm.pl: Adjust accordingly.
2016-01-13comm: add the -z,--zero-terminated optionPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (comm invocation): Reference option description. * src/comm.c (main): Use readlinebuffer_delim() to support a parameterized delimiter. * tests/misc/comm.pl: Add test cases. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2016-01-13tac: support an empty (NUL) --separatorPádraig Brady

2016-01-13join,sort,uniq: with -z, treat '\n' as a field separatorPádraig Brady
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. * doc/coreutils.texi (newlineFieldSeparator): A new description, referenced from ({join,sort,uniq} invocation). * src/system.h (field_sep): A new inline function to determine if a character is a field separator. * src/join.c (usage): s/whitespace/blank/ to be more accurate wrt which characters are field separators. (xfields): s/isblank/field_sep/. * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise. * src/uniq.c (find_field): Likewise. * tests/misc/join.pl: Adjust -z test, and add a test/example for processing the whole record with field processing. * tests/misc/sort.pl: Add -z test cases, including case with '\n'. * tests/misc/uniq.pl: Add -z -f test case with \n.
