Don't dereference an existing symlink being replaced.
I.E. generate the symlink relative to the symlink's containing dir,
rather than to some arbitrary place it points to.
* src/ln.c (convert_abs_rel): Don't consider the final component
of the symlink name when canonicalizing, as we want to avoid
dereferencing the final component.
* tests/ln/relative.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

Reservoir sampling optimizes selecting K random lines from large or
unknown-sized input: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_sampling
Note this also avoids reading any input when -n0 is specified.

lines is known, and the input size is large or unknown.
(input_size): A new function to get the input size for regular files.
(read_input_reservoir_sampling): New function to read lines from input,
keeping only K lines in memory, replacing lines with decreasing prob.

exercise the reservoir-sampling code.

* src/od.c (usage): Mention any printable character is output,
Not just ASCII.

On linkers that don't remove unused functions,
there will be a reference to a missing dev_debug symbol
in the devmsg() function. So for now ...
* src/system.h: ... move devmsg() from here ...
* src/numfmt.c: ... to here, and document future cleanup.
* src/factor.c: Likewise.
|
|
src/numfmt.c (parse_format_string): On some systems, strtol() returns
EINVAL if no conversion was performed. So only handle ERANGE here,
and handle other format errors directly.
|
|
* src/numfmt.c (usage): Keep a single space between the "K = 1000",
so that it's not displayed on a separate line. Also place ','
between each unit entry to improve readability.
|
|
* src/numfmt.c (usage): Correct synopsis and make command description
clearer. Start option descriptions with lowercase letter; use
semicolon instead of period where needed; indent continuation lines;
gettextize single options for ease of translation and maintenance;
sort options alphabetically.
* doc/coreutils.texi (numfmt invocation): Sort numfmt options
alphabetically. Enforce double-blank-after-period style.
This addresses http://bugs.gnu.org/13681.

Both factor and numfmt recently introduced debug messages
for developers, enabled by --verbose and ---devdebug respectively.
There were a few issues though:
1. They used different mechanisms to enable these messages.
2. factor used --verbose which might be needed for something else
3. They used different methods to output the messages,
and numfmt used error() which added an unwanted newline
4. numfmt marked all these messages for translation and factor
marked a couple. We really don't need these translated.
So we fix the above issues here while renaming the enabling
option for both commands to ---debug (still undocumented).
* src/factor.c (verbose): Rename to dev_debug and change from int to
bool as it's just a toggle flag.
(long_options): Rename --verbose to ---debug.
* src/system.h (devmsg): A new inline function to output a message
if enabled by a global dev_debug variable in the compilation unit.
* src/numfmt.c: Use devmsg() rather than error().
Also remove the translation tags from these messages.
Also change debug flag to bool from int.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Adjust for the ---devdebug to ---debug change.
* cfg.mk (sc_marked_devdiagnostics): Add a syntax check to ensure
translations are not added to devmsg calls.

Like any other pseudo file system, df should show rootfs only
when the -a option is specified, i.e. specifying -trootfs alone
is not sufficient. As the rootfs entry is now elided by the
general deduplication in filter_mount_list (commit v8.20-103-gbb116d3),
all other references to rootfs can be removed again.
* src/df.c (show_rootfs): Remove global variable.
(ROOTFS): Remove constant.
(filter_mount_list): Remove case to handle rootfs specially.
(main): In the case for handling the -t option, remove setting
of the show_rootfs variable.
* tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh: Adapt the test case "df -t rootfs":
the rootfs file system must not be printed (because no -a).
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Correct the documentation
about eliding mount entries: it is not the first occurrence of
the the device which wins, but now rather the entry with the
shortest mount point name. Also adapt the description about
eliding pseudo file system types like rootfs.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Adapt entry.
|
|
* src/df.c (struct devlist): Add a new element for storing
pointers to mount_entry structures.
(devlist_head, dev_examined): Remove.
(filter_mount_list): Add new function to filter out the rootfs
entry (unless -trootfs is specified), and duplicities. The
function favors entries with a '/' character in me_devname
or those with the shortest me_mountdir string, if multiple
entries fulfill the first condition.
Use struct devlist to build up a list of entries already known,
and finally rebuild the global mount_list.
(get_all_entries): Call the above new function unless the -a
option is specified.
(get_dev): Remove the code for skipping rootfs and duplicities.
* tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Add test cases.

Previously line N+1 was inspected before line N was fully output,
which causes output ordering issues at the terminal or delays

determine wether to output a '\n' or not.

Each program with at least one long option which is marked as
'required_argument' and which has also a short option for that

In addition to the previous 64 bit guards we've placed in longlong.h
there are additional _LP64 guards required for mips with -mcpu >= 3,
to avoid a build failure (http://bugs.gnu.org/13353) and on sparc
with -mcpu >= v9 in 32 bit mode where for example,
`factor 2123123123123123123123` would go into an infinite loop.
Since factor.c currently operates on uintmax_t, we restrict the use
of the assembly in longlong.h to when 'long' has the same width, to
provide a more general guard for this code.
* src/factor.c: Restrict the use of longlong.h assembly code,
to when the width of intmax_t == long.
* src/longlong.h: Remove the previous _LP64 guards to avoid
divergence from GMP's longlong.h
* NEWS: Adjust the info on build and runtime fixes.

The current x86_64 asm code does not work for x32 (__ILP32__) ABIs,
so disable it. Note simply deleting the q suffix is not enough.

avoids this code on x32.
* NEWS: Mention the build fix.

* src/dd.c (dd_copy): To print an off_t portably we need

a 64 bit host when compiling with CFLAGS=-m32.

This allows efficient processing of multiple files,
while also increasing compatibility with BSD's readlink(1).
We also add the -z, --zero option to delimit output items
with the NUL character which disambiguates output in the
presence of '\n' characters.
* src/readlink.c (usage): Add the --zero description,
and also adjust the description of --no-newline accordingly.
(main): Handle the -z option and iterate over multiple arguments.
Also as in commit v8.15-24-g9d46b25 we use fputs() and putchar()
rather than printf() for performance reasons.
* doc/coreutils.texi (readlink invocation): Document the
new --zero option, adjust the --no-newline description, and
tweak the general info to indicate multiple files are supported.
