2009-02-13du,chgrp,chmod,chown: use FTS_DEFER_STATJim Meyering
* src/du.c (main): Use FTS_DEFER_STAT, for better locality of inode reference. Important when traversing file systems with fake inodes. * src/chgrp.c (main): Likewise. * src/chmod.c (main): Likewise. * src/chown.c (main): Likewise. The only remaining fts client, chcon, doesn't need this, since it goes further and uses FTS_NOSTAT, which suppresses all non- directory stat calls.
2009-02-11ln: add details to --help textEric Blake
* src/ln.c (usage): Mention more about symlink properties. * doc/coreutils.texi (ln invocation): Likewise. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Vitali Lovich. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2009-02-10ls: clean up after wrapped+colored file names with clear-to-EOLJim Meyering
This change addresses a relatively unusual case: ls --color, with a highlighted name being printed initially in the last row of a terminal emulator (possibly followed by other lines of output) such that it is wrapped onto the following line, as the terminal emulator scrolls the output. That would cause the entire following line to be highlighted, even if the name happened to use only one position. The least-invasive patch would have made colorized output larger for all uses. The approach taken below is more invasive, but limits the increase in overhead to only those lines that are expected to wrap. * src/ls.c (enum indicator_no): Add C_CLR_TO_EOL. (indicator_name): Add "cl". (color_indicator): Add default escape codes for "cl". (print_long_format): Propagate width to print_name_with_quoting. (print_name_with_quoting): Print new C_CLR_TO_EOL string if needed. Return the width of what we're printing. (print_file_name_and_frills): Propagate width. (print_type_indicator): Return bool (aka width). (print_many_per_line): Pass column position to print_* function. (print_current_files): Likewise. (print_horizontal): Likewise. (print_with_commas): Likewise. * src/dircolors.c (slack_codes): Add "CLRTOEOL". (ls_codes): Add "cl". * tests/ls/color-clear-to-eol: New file. Test for this fix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add ls/color-clear-to-eol. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov. See thread for details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/740021/focus=14824 Thanks to Jan Engelhardt for helping me reproduce the problem. Demonstrate with this in an 80-column xterm: seq 200 # to start in the "bottom" row touch zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.foo env LS_COLORS='*.foo=0;31;42' ls -og --color=always Before the fix, you'd see something like this: (where the file name is printed in red on a green background, and each "=" denotes a space on a green background) ... -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Feb 5 11:31 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.foo=================================================== After the patch, the trailing green spaces are gone: -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Feb 5 11:31 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.foo

* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): Add a comment suggesting to use AC_PACKAGE_URL once we require autoconf-2.64.
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. (main): Handle new option -n. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document new cp/mv option -n. * tests/cp/cp-i: Add tests for -f, -i and -n options. * tests/mv/mv-n: New test for mv -n. * tests/Makefile.am: Add test mv/mv-n to the list. * NEWS: Mention the change.
2009-01-08option handling: make exceptions more consistentEric Blake
* doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): Not all utilities reject option abbreviations. * src/chroot.c (main): Report correct name on failure. * src/echo.c (usage): Clarify long option usage. * src/setuidgid.c (usage): Likewise. * src/hostid.c (usage): Condense.
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
* src/stat.c (print_statfs): Print statfs.f_files, the total inode count of a file system, as an unsigned number.
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.

2008-12-16du: -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.
