2009-09-10doc: improve various BLOCKSIZE and SIZE helpOndřej Vašík
* doc/coreutils.texi (multiplierSuffixes): Mention that the suffix can be specified without a leading number * src/split.c (usage): Refactor SIZE help to within a function * src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise * src/df.c (usage): Likewise. Also add a function with BLOCKSIZE help * src/du.c (usage): Likewise. * src/system.h: Define 2 functions to emit common help text This was prompted by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=511188
2009-09-10dd conv=unblock: print final newline consistentlyJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (dd_copy) [C_UNBLOCK]: Always print the final newline for non-empty output, not just when output size is a multiple of cbs. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation) [conv=unblock]: Mention that dd prints a newline after each output record, not just when replacing trailing spaces. Reported by Ulrich Drepper. * tests/dd/unblock: New file. Test for this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-09-08tail: make the new piped-stdin test as portable as the old oneJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (main): Adapt piped-stdin test to use the same isapipe, test as was used in the preceding POSIXLY_CORRECT condition. Remove the now-subsumed POSIXLY_CORRECT test. Reported by Pádraig Brady. * doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Document this change. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Reclassify, clarify.
2009-09-07tail: syntax-only: use "false", rather than equivalent, 0Jim Meyering
* src/tail.c (record_open_fd): Initialize "->ignore" to false, not 0.
2009-09-07tail: ignore -f for piped-stdin, as POSIX requiresJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (main): Tailing a pipe "forever" is not useful, and POSIX specifies that tail ignore the -f when there is no file argument and stdin is a FIFO or pipe. So we do that. In addition, GNU tail excludes "-" arguments from the list of files to tail forever, when the associated file descriptor is connected to a FIFO or pipe. Before this change, ":|tail -f" would hang. Reported by Ren Yang and Ulrich Drepper. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f: Test for this. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f2: Ensure tail doesn't exit early for a fifo. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add these tests. * NEWS (POSIX conformance): Mention it.
2009-09-07tail: don't give up on inotify mode for an already-ignored "-"Jim Meyering
* src/tail.c (main): Adjust today's change to honor the F[i].ignore flag that may have been set in tail_file.
2009-09-07tail -f: handle "-"/stdin once againJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (main) [HAVE_INOTIFY]: When stdin (i.e., "-", or no args, but not /dev/stdin) is specified on the command line, don't use inotify. Reported by Bill Brelsford in <http://bugs.debian.org/545422>. * tests/tail-2/follow-stdin: New file. Test for this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the test. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. This bug was introduced in coreutils-7.5 via commit ae494d4b, 2009-06-02, "tail: use inotify if it is available".
2009-09-06tail: flush initial output before possibly blockingJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (main): Flush any output from tail_file, before calling tail_forever_inotify, which can block. * tests/tail-2/flush-initial: New file. Test for the bug. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tail-2/flush-initial. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. This bug was introduced in coreutils-7.5 via commit ae494d4b, 2009-06-02, "tail: use inotify if it is available".
2009-09-05doc: make the tail --sleep-interval help less confusingPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (usage): I read "approximately S seconds" as "approximately 5 seconds" for approximately 5 seconds.
2009-09-05maint: remove some tab indentation from copy.cPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove tabs erroneously added in commit 3346c0af.
2009-09-05tests: test old tail -f method even on systems with inotifyPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (main): Add an undocumented ---disable-inotify option to allow disabling inotify. * tests/tail-2/pid: Run test in both normal and "disable_inotify" modes. * tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/append-only: Likewise.
2009-09-05stty: use TAB0, TAB1, and TAB2 only if definedPetr Salinger
* src/stty.c (mode_info) [TAB0, TAB1, TAB2]: Guard each entry with #ifdef. Required for GNU/kFreeBSD. Reported by Petr Salinger in http://bugs.debian.org/520368.
2009-09-04ln: add comments related to POSIX 2008Eric Blake
* src/ln.c (ENABLE_HARD_LINK_TO_SYMLINK_WARNING): Delete. (do_link): Update comments per POSIX; add FIXME for -L, -P.
2009-09-04mv, cp: tweak LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS logicEric Blake
* gnulib: Update to latest gnulib. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Adjust comment in light of POSIX 2008, and deal with macro now being tri-state.
2009-09-03df: don't fail due to an unreadable argumentJim Meyering
* src/df.c (main): If open or fstat fails when we're trying to ensure that all arg-partitions are automounted, fall back on using stat. Inspired by the report and patch from Olivier Fourdan in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/520630. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/df/unreadable: New test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df/unreadable. The bug was introduced in coreutils-7.3 via commit dbd17157, 2009-04-28, "df: use open(2), not stat, to trigger automounting".
2009-09-03cp: don't leak resources for each xattr preservation failureOndřej Vašík
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't return from the function after an unsuccessful and required preservation of extended attributes. This resulted in leaking the copy buffer and file descriptors. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the fix. The bug was introduced in coreutils-7.1 via commit 0889381c, 2009-01-23, "cp/mv: add xattr support".
2009-09-01chcon, chmod, chgrp, chown, du: report fts_close failurePádraig Brady
* src/du.c (du_files): Don't fail silently upon fts_close failure. * src/chcon.c (process_files): Likewise. * src/chmod.c (process_files): Likewise. * src/chown-core.c (chown_files): Likewise.
2009-09-01chcon, chmod, chgrp, chown, du: do not ignore fts_close failureJim Meyering
This is probably never visible, but who knows... * src/chcon.c (process_files): Don't ignore fts_close failure. * src/chmod.c (process_files): Likewise. * src/chown-core.c (chown_files): Likewise. * src/du.c (du_files): Likewise.
2009-09-01maint: du: remove unnecessary initializationJim Meyering
* src/du.c (main): Don't set "skip_file" unnecessarily.
2009-09-01maint: chown, chgrp, chmod, chcon: remove unnecessary initializationJim Meyering
* src/chown-core.c: Include "ignore-value.h". (change_file_owner): Don't set "ent" only to ignore it. * src/chcon.c (process_file): Likewise. * src/chmod.c: Include "ignore-value.h". (process_file): Don't set "ent" only to ignore it. After diagnosing root-dev/ino failure, return false immediately: Now that we don't set "ent" we must be sure not to use it uninitialized, and there's no point in issuing --verbose-related output in this case.
2009-09-01maint: shred: remove unnecessary initializationJim Meyering
* src/shred.c (genpattern): Value stored to "n" is never used.
2009-09-01maint: dd: remove unnecessary initializationJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (skip): Remove set-but-never-used variable, soffset.
2009-09-01maint: tail: remove unnecessary initializationJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (tail_bytes): Don't compute "diff" twice.
2009-09-01timeout: remove a redundant assignmentPádraig Brady
* src/timeout.c (main): While keeping argc and argv in sync may be marginally useful, it is redundant to update argc, so just remove that to suppress the clang warning.
2009-09-01timeout: defensive handling of all wait() errorsPádraig Brady
* src/timeout.c (main): Handle all possible cases of unexpected failures from wait(). This was prompted by the clang tool reporting the possible non-initialization of the status variable.
2009-09-01ls -i: print consistent inode numbers also for mount pointsJim Meyering
On most unix- and linux-based kernels, ls -i DIR_CONTAINING_MOUNT_POINT would print the wrong inode number for any entry that is a mount point. It would do that by relying on readdir's dirent.d_ino values, while most readdir implementations return the inode number of the underlying, inaccessible directory. Thus, it is not consistent with what you'd get when applying stat to the same entry. This bug led to surprising results like "ls -i" and "ls -i --color" printing different numbers (ls must usually "stat" a file to colorize its name). This change makes it so that on offending systems, ls must stat non-command-line-arguments for which otherwise it would be able to use "for free" dirent.d_ino values. Regardless of this change, ls is already required to stat every command-line argument. Note: versions of GNU ls prior to coreutils-6.0 did not perform the invalid optimization, and hence always printed correct inode numbers. Thus, for the sake of correctness, ls -i is forgoing the readdir optimization, for any kernel (including linux!) with POSIX-nonconforming readdir. Note that currently, only Cygwin has been agile enough to conform. * src/ls.c (RELIABLE_D_INO): Define. (print_dir): Use it. For plenty of discussion, see this long thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14020 This bug was introduced by the 2006-02-26 commit, 33eb3efe: "In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible." * tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Don't suppress failure of this test, now that ls -i is fixed. Though note that it doesn't test well, since it compares only the always-stat'd command-line arguments. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-08-31maint: revert my stdbuf change: the result didn't even compileJim Meyering
This reverts commit c1e158489d88bad418d52ceadf37af0b6f5b2112.
2009-08-30maint: stdbuf: move a declaration; no-semantic-changeJim Meyering
* src/stdbuf.c (set_program_path): Move a declaration down into the scope where it's used.
2009-08-30build: quiet "make check" in src/Jim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (check-duplicate-no-install): Use $(AM_V_GEN). (check-README): Likewise. And $(AM_V_at).

* src/copy.c (copy_reg): When cloning only skip the data copying * tests/cp/reflink-perm: New test to check times and modes copied * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test * NEWS: Mention the fix
2009-08-29cp --reflink: add an "auto" parameter to fall back to a normal copyPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the new "auto" and "always" options to --reflink. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Fall back to a standard copy when reflink() is not supported and --reflink=auto specified. * src/copy.h [struct cp_options] (reflink): Change type s/bool/enum/. * src/cp.c (usage): Describe the --reflink={always,auto} options and expand a little on what --reflink does. (main): parse the new parameters to --reflink and allow all --sparse options with --reflink=auto. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Init the enum instead of bool. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * tests/cp/reflink-auto: A new test for falling back to normal copy. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.

2009-08-28build: avoid unused variable warnings on cygwinEric Blake
* src/copy.c (clone_file, copy_attr_by_fd, copy_attr_by_name): Mark up unused variables. * src/remove.c (dirent_inode_sort_may_be_useful): Likewise.
2009-08-28dd: detect closed stderrEric Blake
* src/dd.c (maybe_close_stdout): Always flush stderr; regression introduced in commit 381e69ea. * tests/misc/close-stdout (p): Use consistent style. * tests/dd/stderr: New test, borrowing from misc/close-stdout. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it. * NEWS: Mention this.

2009-08-24cp: ignore obscure failure to preserve symlink time stamps,Jim Meyering
...when run on a kernel older than what was implied by headers and libraries tested at configure time. * src/copy.c (utimens_symlink): Ignore failure when errno == ENOSYS. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Todd Zullinger and Kamil Dudka. Details in this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/119834
2009-08-20install: avoid a portability bug when compiling with non-gccJim Meyering
* src/install.c (extra_mode): Be careful to return only a 0 or 1 value, since this is a "bool" function, and there are still some compilers for which this is necessary. Without this change, Bernhard Voelker reported that the Forte Developer 7 C 5.4 2002/03/09 compiler would produce a malfunctioning "install" binary. Details in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/17710/focus=17760
2009-08-19build: avoid "make dist" failure in man/Jim Meyering
Now that "make check" no longer builds programs like arch, ... * src/Makefile.am (dist-hook): Depend on $(all_programs), so that the subsequent build in man/ doesn't fail due to lack of a program like arch that is not going to be installed.
2009-08-18nl: deprecate --page-increment in favor of --line-incrementGiuseppe Scrivano
* NEWS: Mention the change. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document the new --line-increment option. * src/nl.c (struct option): Add --line-increment, (usage): Describe it, (main): Use it.
2009-08-18build: perform check-AUTHORS via syntax-check, not via "make check"Jim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS. That check fails on systems for which a program like stdbuf is not built. Instead, move this check to "make syntax-check". (sc_check-AUTHORS): Rename rule from check-AUTHORS. * cfg.mk (sc_check-AUTHORS): New rule. Reported by Berhnard Voelker.
2009-08-18sort: use more portable initialization syntaxJim Meyering
* src/sort.c (find_unit_order): Spell out 256-element static initializer, rather than relying on C99 syntax. Required for Forte Developer 7 C 5.4 2002/03/09 on Solaris 10. Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
2009-08-14cp,mv: fix issues with preserving timestamps of copied symlinksPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): On systems without utimensat don't use utimens on a symlink, as that would dereference the symlink. * tests/cp/abuse: To work around possible attribute preservation failures breaking the test, use cp -dR rather than cp -a.
2009-08-13tail: fix tail -f failure when inotify usedPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Remove the redundant and incorrect error check of the return from inotify_add_watch(). Also initialize the wd member of each File_spec to an invalid value. Reported by C de-Avillez.
