2009-01-28dd: Better handle user specified offsets that are too bigPádraig Brady
Following are the before and after operations for seekable files, for the various erroneous offsets handled by this patch: skip beyond end of file before: immediately exit(0); after : immediately printf("cannot skip to specified offset"); exit(0); skip > max file size before: read whole file and exit(0); after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1); seek > max file size before: immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1); after : immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1); skip > OFF_T_MAX before: read whole device/file and exit(0); after : immediately printf("cannot skip:"); exit(1); seek > OFF_T_MAX before: immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1); after : immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1); skip > device size before: read whole device and exit(0); after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1); seek > device size before: read whole device and printf("write error: ENOSPC"); exit(1); after : immediately printf("cannot seek: Invalid argument"); exit(1); * NEWS: Summarize this change in behavior. * src/dd.c (skip): Add error checking for large seek/skip offsets on seekable files, rather than deferring to using read() to advance offset. (dd_copy): Print a warning if skip past EOF, as per FIXME comment. * test/Makefile.am: Add 2 new tests. * tests/dd/seek-skip-past-file: Add tests for first 3 cases above. * tests/dd/seek-skip-past-dev: Add root only test for last case above.
2009-01-27doc: emit better bug-reporting info, to help help2manJim Meyering
* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): End each "sentence" with period, mark URLs with <...>. Based on a suggestion from Eric Blake. Use fputs on a string without %s, not printf.
2009-01-23build: resolve conflict with new declaration from version-etc.hJim Meyering
* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): Define away, now, gnulib's version-etc.h also declares this function. In this package, we choose to include each program's name in the diagnostic. Define away the conflicting declaration. (emit_bug_reporting_address): Also emit home page and "General help..." links, like the new function does. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2009-01-22shred: change default number of overwrites from 25 to 3Pádraig Brady
* src/shred.c: The concensus is that a default of 3 passes is appropriate for current drive technologies. * src/TODO: Reference Paul Eggert's suggestion of enhancing shred to conform to DoD 5220 rules.
2009-01-19no longer define *_FILENO constantsJim Meyering
* src/system.h (STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO, STDERR_FILENO): Remove definitions. Now guaranteed by gnulib.
2009-01-16echo, printf, test: remove unused #include directivesJim Meyering
* src/echo.c: Don't include "long-options.h". No longer used. * src/printf.c: Likewise. * src/test.c: Likewise.
2009-01-16pathchk: avoid -Wsign-compare warningsPádraig Brady
* src/pathchk.c: Compare pathconf limits to _signed_ MAX constants, as pathconf returns signed values.
2009-01-16pr: avoid -Wsign-compare warningsPádraig Brady
* src/pr.c: Use unsigned variables in unsigned comparisons.
2009-01-16shred: avoid -Wsign-compare warningsPádraig Brady
* src/shred.c: Use already assigned signed variable sizeof_r, rather than the unsigned sizeof(r). Don't use signed integer overflow check that contemporary compilers may remove anyway.
2009-01-16simplify mgetgroups() and avoid -Wsign-compare warningsPádraig Brady
* gl/lib/mgetgroups.c: Avoid -Wsign-compare warning by using unsigned types for the parameters of the new function realloc_groupbuf(). mgetgroups() was refactored to use this function rather than explicitly allocating and copying from automatic storage itself. * src/group-list.c: Use int rather than size_t as variable is used in signed comparisons. * src/id.c: ditto.
2009-01-14test, echo, printf: don't accept option abbreviationEric Blake
* src/test.c (main): Directly parse accepted options, thus avoiding abbreviations. * src/echo.c (main): Likewise. * src/printf.c (main): Likewise.
2009-01-14cp/mv: add --no-clobber (-n) option to not overwrite targetKamil Dudka
* src/cp.c (usage): Show new option -n in --help. (main): Handle new option -n. * src/mv.c (usage): Show new option -n in --help.

2009-01-05doc: pathchk description enhancementsPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (pathchk invocation): Mention pathchk checks validity (for current system) as well as portability. Say messages go to stderr, and reorder description of checks done for the -p option, to match what's done in code. * src/pathchk.c (usage): Mention pathchk checks name validity. Suggested clarifications were from Dan Jacobson.
2009-01-03src/.gitignore: Ignore getlimits utilityPádraig Brady
* src/.gitignore: Ignore getlimits
2009-01-03stat: print file-system total inode count (%c) as an unsigned numberMichael Meskes

2009-01-01portability: accommodate gnulib's getaddrinfo changeJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (pinky_LDADD, who_LDADD): Append $(GETADDRINFO_LIB)
2009-01-01cleanup/modernize: don't test HAVE_MBRTOWC; now gnulib provides itJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Include mbrtowc explicitly. * src/ls.c (quote_name): Don't test HAVE_MBRTOWC, now that we're guaranteed to have the function. * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
2008-12-26maint: ensure dd's computation of O_FULLBLOCK uses all O_ symbol namesJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Use a more uniform initializer, that makes it easier to extract all O_ symbol names. * maint.mk (syntax-check-rules): Also search for sc_ rules in cfg.mk. (sc_root_tests): Ensure that this rule sets $diff. * cfg.mk (sc_dd_O_FLAGS): New rule.
2008-12-26dd: add support for opening files in Concurrent I/O (CIO) modeMatt Harden
* src/dd.c (O_CIO): New flag. * src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Add O_CIO to the list of flags that O_FULLBLOCK should be greater than. * src/dd.c (flags): Give the name "cio" to the new O_CIO flag, mirroring the treatment of O_DIRECT. * src/dd.c (usage): Add a description of the new flag when it is available. * doc/coreutils.text (dd invocation): Describe the new flag. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2008-12-23build: do enable $(WERROR_CFLAGS) for src/ files.Jim Meyering
This reverts the more recent commit (of two) entitled "build: add configure-time --enable-gcc-warnings option; avoid warnings". Pádraig Brady spotted the contradiction between the log message and actual change. This reverts commit 292d68565a34b237cd2bf586ace545b7cd3dbfcf.
2008-12-23timeout: remove problematic castsPádraig Brady
* src/timeout.c (apply_time_suffix): Change input parameter from unsigned int to unsigned long, which is the type of the variable it's actually manipulating. This removes the need for the cast which was giving a warning with the gcc options: -fstrict-aliasing -Wstrict-aliasing. Also add a check for overflow possible on 16-bit platforms, and fix indents. (main): Remove a redundant cast in the alarm() call.
2008-12-21build: add configure-time --enable-gcc-warnings option; avoid warningsJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add "warnings" module. * configure.ac: Add --enable-gcc-warnings, derived from code in bison. * src/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Set to $(WARN_CFLAGS) # $(WERROR_CFLAGS) * lib/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Change spelling to $(WARN_CFLAGS) Don't use $(WERROR_CFLAGS), yet. * src/system.h (usage): Declare. * src/base64.c (usage): Declare to be global, for consistency. * src/timeout.c (usage): Likewise. * src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise. * src/getlimits.c (usage): Likewise. * src/pinky.c (ttyname): Declare with prototype, rather than an empty argument list. * src/who.c (ttyname): Likewise. * src/su.c (crypt, getusershell, setusershell, endusershell): Likewise.
2008-12-21build: turn on $(WERROR_CFLAGS) for src/Jim Meyering

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add "warnings" module. * configure.ac: Add --enable-gcc-warnings, derived from code in bison. * src/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Set to $(WARN_CFLAGS) # $(WERROR_CFLAGS) * lib/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Change spelling to $(WARN_CFLAGS) Don't use $(WERROR_CFLAGS), yet. * src/system.h (usage): Declare. * src/base64.c (usage): Declare to be global, for consistency. * src/timeout.c (usage): Likewise. * src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise. * src/getlimits.c (usage): Likewise. * src/pinky.c (ttyname): Declare with prototype, rather than an empty argument list. * src/who.c (ttyname): Likewise. * src/su.c (crypt, getusershell, setusershell, endusershell): Likewise.
2008-12-16du: -H now does what POSIX requiresJim Meyering
* src/du.c (usage): Update --help output. (main): Move -H-handling code from the --si block to the one for --dereference-args (-D). * doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Update description. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention this.
2008-12-03chmod, chown, chgrp: honor --silent (-f) once againOndřej Vašík
* chmod.c (process_file): Make -f suppress fts-related diagnostics. * chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise. Reported via <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/474220>.
2008-12-02wc: read and process --files0-from= input a name at a time,Jim Meyering
when the file name list is not too large. Before, wc would always read the entire file name list into memory and *then* process each file name. wc does read the list into memory when the list is known not to be too large; this is done in order to be able to align the output numbers, as it does with arguments specified on the command-line * src/wc.c: Include "argv-iter.h". (main): Rewrite to use argv-iter when the input file name list is known to be too large. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2008-12-02du: read and process --files0-from= input a name at a time,Jim Meyering
rather than by reading the entire input into memory and *then* processing each file name. * src/du.c: Include "argv-iter.h", not "readtokens0.h". (main): Rewrite to use argv-iter. Call xfts_open on each argument, rather than on the entire argv list at once. Call print_size here, not from du_files. Diagnose read failure. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * THANKS: update. Reported by Barry Kelly. More details in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/15159/
2008-12-01seq: plug a leakJim Meyering
* src/factor.c (emit_ul_factor): Call mpz_clear.
2008-12-01avoid warnings about initialization of automatic aggregatesJim Meyering
* src/system.h (DZA_CONCAT0, DZA_CONCAT): New macros. (DECLARE_ZEROED_AGGREGATE): New macro. * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use it. * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Use it. * src/shred.c (main): Use it. * src/stty.c (main): Use it. * src/wc.c (SUPPORT_OLD_MBRTOWC): Use it.
2008-12-01* src/hostname.c (sethostname) [!HAVE_SETHOSTNAME]: Remove declaration.Jim Meyering
2008-12-01cp, mv: remove 3-year-deprecated+warned-about --reply optionJim Meyering
* src/cp.c (reply_args, reply_vals): Remove globals. [REPLY_OPTION]: Remove enum. (long_opts) ["reply"]: Remove initializer. (main): Remove case stmt. * src/mv.c: Likewise. Don't include "argmatch.h". No longer used. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove mv/reply-no. * tests/mv/reply-no: Remove file. * tests/mv/i-link-no: Update, now that --reply= is gone.
2008-12-01doc: Improve description of --files0-from optionPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi: Describe the most common usage of --files0-from=- to read names from stdin. * src/du.c: Likewise. * src/sort.c: Likewise. * src/wc.c: Likewise.
2008-11-30remove explicit declaration of putenv, ...Jim Meyering
* src/date.c: ... now that gnulib guarantees that it's in <stdlib.h>. * src/env.c: Likewise.
2008-11-22Revert part of "dd: avoid unnecessary memory copies"Pádraig Brady
This reverts part of commit fbd87029cfc494a72bb73ade27ef46382c5bc832. Paul Eggert noticed the problem in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-11/msg00153.html * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Clarify.
2008-11-21getlimits: A new utility for use in coreutils' testsPádraig Brady
* src/getlimits.c: A utility to print platform dependent limits in a format suitable for use in shell scripts. * src/Makefile.am: Add getlimits to list of utilities to build but not install. Also add it to the list linked with libiconv * po/POTFILES.in: Add getlimits to translation list.
2008-11-21dd: avoid unnecessary memory copiesPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (scanargs): When not otherwise required (e.g. for conversion), use two-buffer mode only when the input and output buffer sizes differ. Before, some of the most basic invocations of dd, e.g., dd < in > out, would unnecessarily use separate buffers and perform memory copies between them.
2008-11-20cp: use far less memory in some casesJim Meyering
cp --link was "remembering" many name,dev,inode triples unnecessarily. cp was doing the same, even without --link, for every directory in the source hierarchy, while it can do its job with entries merely for the command-line arguments. Prompted by a report from Patrick Shoenfeld. Details <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/15081>. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Refrain from remembering name,dev,inode for most files, when invoked via cp --link. Record an infloop-avoidance triple for each directory specified on the command line, not for each directory in the source tree. Don't record a dir-triple when x->hard_link is set. * NEWS (Buf fixes): Mention it. * tests/cp/link-heap: New file. Test for cp's lowered memory usage. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-heap.
2008-11-20cp: remove unused codeJim Meyering
* src/cp-hash.c (remember_created): Remove unused function. Remove thus-obviated headers: <stdio.h>, "quote.h", "error.h". * src/cp-hash.h (remember_created): Remove declaration.
2008-11-10make --help print "Report PROGRAM translation bugs to <...>."Jim Meyering
for all but the C/POSIX locale. * src/system.h: Include "hard-locale.h". (emit_bug_reporting_address): Tell where to report translation bugs. don't include "hard-locale.h", now that system.h does * src/comm.c: Likewise. * src/join.c: Likewise. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/pinky.c: Likewise. * src/pr.c: Likewise. * src/sort.c: Likewise. * src/uniq.c: Likewise. * src/who.c: Likewise.
2008-11-10avoid warnings about discarding "qualifiers from pointer target type"Jim Meyering
Use the new "bad_cast" function or an actual cast-to-"(char *)" to avoid warnings. * src/system.h (bad_cast): Define. * src/chown.c (main): * src/chroot.c (main): * src/date.c (main): * src/du.c (main): * src/expand.c (stdin_argv): * src/ls.c (decode_switches): * src/md5sum.c (main): * src/paste.c (main): * src/pr.c (col_sep_string, column_separator, line_separator, main): * src/sort.c (main): * src/split.c (main): * src/tail.c (main): * src/unexpand.c (stdin_argv): * src/yes.c (main):
2008-11-10avoid a compiler warningJim Meyering
(strip_program): Declare to be const.
2008-11-10use xfreopen in place of unchecked freopenJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (modules): Add xfreopen. * src/cat.c (main): Include "xfreopen.h". Use xfreopen. * src/cksum.c (cksum): Likewise. * src/head.c (head_file, main): Likewise. * src/md5sum.c (digest_file): Likewise. * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise. * src/split.c (type_undef): Likewise. * src/sum.c (bsd_sum_file, sysv_sum_file): Likewise. * src/tac.c (tac_file, main): Likewise. * src/tail.c (tail_file, main): Likewise. * src/tee.c (tee_files): Likewise. * src/tr.c (main): Likewise. * src/wc.c (wc_file): Likewise. * po/POTFILES.in: Add lib/xfreopen.c
2008-11-09install: indicate clearly it's not for installing packagesJames Youngman
* src/install.c (usage): Indicate the program copies files, as opposed to installing packages.
2008-11-08emit more precise bug-reporting instructionsJim Meyering
Hoping that this will decrease the volume of bug reports mistakenly directed to the coreutils mailing list. * src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): Specify the program name in the "Report bugs to <...>." line in each program's --help output and man page. Now, it will say "Report PROGRAM_NAME bugs to <...>." Suggestion from Ondřej Vašík.
