main(): Process new option. Replace input_numbers_option_used() with a local variable. Re-organize argument processing. usage(): Describe the new option. (write_random_numbers): A new function to generate a permutation of the specified input range with repetition. (write_random_lines): Likewise for stdin and --echo. (write_permuted_numbers): New function refactored from write_permuted_output(). (write_permuted_lines): Likewise. * tests/misc/shuf.sh: Add tests for --repetitions option. * doc/coreutils.texi: Mention --repetitions, add examples. * TODO: Mention an optimization to avoid needing to read all of the input into memory with --repetitions. * NEWS: Mention new shuf option.
2013-07-11maint: adjust indentation in df.cPádraig Brady
* src/df.c: Adjust indentation and spacing with has gotten quite out of line in a couple of places.
2013-07-09df: fix mount list processing with unstatable mount dirsPádraig Brady
* src/df.c (filter_mount_list): Initialize devlist->dev_num correctly when unable to stat() a mount point. This will avoid possible invalid deduplication done on the list due to use of uninitialized memory. * tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Ensure this code path is exercised. Also refactor the test to be table driven. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2013-07-07maint: avoid a valgrind memory leak warning from uptimeAnton Ovchinnikov
* src/uptime.c (uptime): Free utmp_buf returned from read_utmp, to avoid a "definitely lost" warning from valgrind.
2013-07-02stat: ensure --context emits an "unrecognized option" diagnosticPádraig Brady
* src/stat.c (long_options): Remove the "context" option as it's no longer referenced since commit v8.5-65-g13f3237
2013-07-02mkdir,mkfifo,mknod: give scontext-related variable a better scopeBernhard Voelker
* src/mkdir.c (main): Move the variable ret and issuing the error message into the body of the scontext-related if-block. * src/mkfifo.c (main): Likewise. * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
2013-07-02maint: refactor SMACK interface to a separate modulePádraig Brady
Consolidate all smack routines and checks in a module. We replace and wrap the most commonly used smack routines, which allows removing ifdefs throughout the code. * gl/lib/smack.h: A new header containing the implementation of the wrapped and replacement routines. Note the is_smack_enabled() routine should be optimized out at compile time when compiled on a system without libsmack. * gl/modules/smack: Describe the new module and move the configure time code here from ... * m4/jm-macros.m4: ... here. * bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module. * src/id.c: Use the routines without ifdefs where possible. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/mkdir.c: Likewise. * src/mkfifo.c: Likewise. * src/mknod.c: Likewise.
2013-07-02id: don't show SMACK errors unless -Z is specifiedPádraig Brady
* src/id.c (main): Be consistent with the SELinux case, and only show errors in getting the security context when -Z is specified.
2013-07-01mkdir,mkfifo,mknod: with -Z, create SMACK security contextJarkko Sakkinen
Enable creation of SMACK security context with -Z command-line switch if SMACK is enabled. * mkdir.c (main): Set process security context to given SMACK label. * mkfifo.c (main): Likewise. * mknod.c (main): Likewise. * src/local.mk: link mk{dir, fifo, nod} with libsmack. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2013-06-24ls: with -Z, show SMACK security contextJarkko Sakkinen
Enable showing of file SMACK security with '-Z' command-line switch if SMACK is enabled. Showing SMACK context of a file does not strictly require SMACK to be enabled but this required to make choice whether to show SELinux or SMACK security context. * src/ls.c (getfilecon_cache): Retrieve SMACK context if available. (gobble_file): Handle SMACK context similarly to SELinux context. * src/local.mk: Link lsl with libsmack. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. * .mailmap: Merge the Author's 2 email addresses.
2013-06-22stdbuf: make it mandatory to specify a buffering optionPádraig Brady
This is consistent with the documented interface and avoids any ambiguity in a user thinking that stdbuf without options might reset to a "standard" buffering setup. * src/stdbuf.c (set_libstdbuf_options): Indicate with the return value whether any env variables were actually set. (main): Fail unless some env variables were set. * tests/misc/stdbuf.sh: Ensure this constraint is enforced. * NEWS: Mention the small change in behavior.
2013-06-22doc: clarify that truncate --size represents bytes by defaultPádraig Brady
* src/truncate.c (usage): Mention that --size is in bytes which is by far the most common usage. * doc/coreutils.texi (truncate invocation): Likewise. Also cross reference the --io-blocks option. Reported in http://bugs.gnu.org/14686
2013-06-20id: adjust/restrict smack support to newer versions of libsmackJarkko Sakkinen
There was slight change to libsmack such that positive values are reserved for returning length of the label for smack_new_label_from_* functions. * m4/jm-macros.m4: Set HAVE_SMACK when both smack_new_label_from_self() and recently added smack_new_label_from_path() are present. The latter's presence indicates the newer API of the former. * src/id.c (main): Check that smack_new_label_from_self() < 0, and not just non-zero.
2013-06-18tests: use appropriate precision when printing float limitsPádraig Brady
* src/getlimits.c (print_float): Adjust to use the ftoastr module, which uses the appropriate precision so that no info is lost. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_continued_string_alpha_in_column_1): Exclude od.c fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/14650
2013-06-12doc: clarify the description of du --separate-dirsPádraig Brady
* src/du.c (usage): Clarify that --separate-dirs doesn't exclude all directories. * doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Avoid implying that -S excludes the size of any non directory entries for a directory. Also don't mention st_size as it's dependent on --apparent-size. Reported by C de-Avillez in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/1187044>
2013-06-03doc: mention 'UTC' in date --utc helpAndreas Mohr
src/date.c (usage): Make -u apparent in searches for UTC.
2013-06-02od: -wN, N>64K, avoid misbehavior on systems with 32-bit size_tJim Meyering
* src/od.c (PRINT_FIELDS): Declare "i" to be of type uintmax_t, so that the numerator in the expression for "next_pad" does not overflow. (print_named_ascii): Likewise. (print_ascii): Likewise. Bug introduced via commit v6.12-42-g20c0b87. * tests/misc/od.pl: Exercise each of the three affected code paths. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Rich Burridge.
2013-05-24stat: tune for large-LDAP casePaul Eggert
* src/stat.c (print_stat): Omit unnecessary calls to setpwent, setgrent. Problem reported by Fridolín Pokorný in <http://bugs.gnu.org/14462>.
2013-05-23split: with --line-bytes only allocate memory as neededPádraig Brady
* src/split.c (line_bytes_split): Rewrite to only buffer when necessary. I.E. only increase the buffer when we've already lines output in a split and we encounter a line larger than the input buffer size, in which case a hold buffer will be increased in increments of the input buffer size. (lines_rr): Use the more abstract xalloc_die() just like we did in line_bytes_split(), rather than explicitly printing the "memory exhausted" message and exiting. * tests/split/line-bytes.sh: Add a new test for this function which previously had no test coverage. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/13537
2013-05-18maint: port --enable-gcc-warnings to clangPaul Eggert
* configure.ac: If clang, add -Wno-format-extra-args and -Wno-tautological-constant-out-of-range-compare. * gl/lib/rand-isaac.c (ind): * gl/lib/randread.c (readisaac): * src/ls.c (dev_ino_push, dev_ino_pop): * src/sort.c (buffer_linelim): * src/system.h (is_nul): * src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Rewrite to avoid casts that clang dislikes. It's good to avoid casts anyway. * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): Declare only if it exists. (die): Remove; unused. * src/ls.c (dev_ino_push): New function, replacing ... (DEV_INO_PUSH): ... this removed macro. All uses changed. (decode_switches): Rewrite "str"+i to &str[i].
2013-05-11maint: add FIXME commentPaul Eggert
2013-05-11mkdir: don't assume umask equals POSIX default ACL maskPaul Eggert
This fixes Bug#14371, reported by Killer Bassist. * NEWS: Document this. * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): Remove member ancestor_mode. New member umask_value. All uses changed. * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Fix umask assumption. * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c (main): Leave umask alone. This requires invoking lchmod after creating the file, which introduces a race condition, but this can't be avoided on hosts with "POSIX" default ACLs, and there's no easy way with network file systems to tell what kind of host the directory is on. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add tests/mkdir/p-acl.sh. * tests/mkdir/p-acl.sh: New file.
2013-05-08id: with -Z, show SMACK security contextJarkko Sakkinen
Adds an optional dependency on libsmack. * m4/jm-macros.m4: Look for the smack library/header. * src/id.c (main): Output the smack context if available. * src/local.mk: Link with libsmack if available. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2013-05-08cut: improve performance, especially with --output-delimiterCojocaru Alexandru
Use a sentinel value that's checked implicitly, rather than a bit array, to determine if an item should be output. Benchmark results for this change are: $ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file $ for c in orig sentinel; do src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null echo -ne "\n== $c ==" time src/cut-$c -b1,3 big-file > /dev/null done == orig == real 0m0.049s user 0m0.044s sys 0m0.005s == sentinel == real 0m0.035s user 0m0.032s sys 0m0.002s ## Again with --output-delimiter ## $ for c in orig sentinel; do src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null echo -ne "\n== $c ==" time src/cut-$c -b1,3 --output-delimiter=: big-file > /dev/null done == orig == real 0m0.106s user 0m0.103s sys 0m0.002s == sentinel == real 0m0.055s user 0m0.052s sys 0m0.003s eol_range_start: Removed. 'n-' is no longer treated specially, and instead SIZE_MAX is set for the 'hi' limit, and tested implicitly. complement_rp: Used to complement 'rp' when '--complement' is specified. ADD_RANGE_PAIR: Macro renamed to 'add_range_pair' function. * tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Adjust to the SENTINEL value. Also remove the overlapping range test as this is no longer dependent on large ranges and also is already handled with the EOL-subsumed-3 test in cut.pl.
2013-05-07cut: fix handling of overlapping rangesCojocaru Alexandru
This issue was introduced in commit v8.21-43-g3e466ad * src/cut.c (set_fields): Process all range pairs when merging. * tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Add a test for this edge case. Also fix an issue where we could miss reported errors due to truncation of the 'err' file.
2013-04-29cut: reduce CPU usage for the the common casePádraig Brady
Ensure appropriate functions are inlined. This was seen to be required with gcc 4.6.0 with -O2 on x86_64 at least. It was reported that gcc 4.8.0 did inline these functions though. Also reinstate the bit vector for the common case, to further improve performance. Benchmark results for both aspects of this change are: $ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file $ for c in orig inline inline-array; do src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null echo -ne "\n== $c ==" time src/cut-$c -b1,3 big-file > /dev/null done == orig == real 0m0.088s user 0m0.081s sys 0m0.007s == inline == real 0m0.070s user 0m0.060s sys 0m0.009s == inline-array == real 0m0.049s user 0m0.044s sys 0m0.005s * src/cut.c (set_fields): Set up the printable_field bit vector for performance, but only when it's appropriate. I.E. not when either --output-delimeter or huge ranges are specified. (next_item): Ensure it's inlined and avoid unnecessary processing. (print_kth): Ensure it's inlined and add a branch for the fast path. Related to http://bugs.gnu.org/13127
2013-04-29cut: reduce CPU overhead in determining item to outputCojocaru Alexandru
print_kth() is the central function of cut used to determine if an item is to be output or not, so simplify it by moving some logic outside. Benchmark results for this change are: $ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file $ for c in orig split; do src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null echo -ne "\n== $c ==" time src/cut-$c -b1,3 big-file > /dev/null done == orig == real 0m0.111s user 0m0.108s sys 0m0.002s == split == real 0m0.088s user 0m0.081s sys 0m0.007s * src/cut.c (print_kth): Refactor a branch to outside the function. Related to http://bugs.gnu.org/13127
2013-04-29cut: make memory allocation independent of range widthCojocaru Alexandru
The current implementation of cut, uses a bit array, an array of `struct range_pair's, and (when --output-delimiter is specified) a hash_table. The new implementation will use only an array of `struct range_pair's. The old implementation is memory inefficient because: 1. When -b with a big num is specified, it allocates a lot of memory for `printable_field'. 2. When --output-delimiter is specified, it will allocate 31 buckets. Even if only a few ranges are specified. Note CPU overhead is increased to determine if an item is to be printed, as shown by: $ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file $ for c in with-bitarray without-bitarray; do src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null echo -ne "\n== $c ==" time src/cut-$c -b1,3 big-file > /dev/null done == with-bitarray == real 0m0.084s user 0m0.078s sys 0m0.006s == without-bitarray == real 0m0.111s user 0m0.108s sys 0m0.002s Subsequent patches will reduce this overhead. * src/cut.c (set_fields): Set and initialize RP instead of printable_field. * src/cut.c (is_range_start_index): Use CURRENT_RP rather than a hash. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Check if `eol_range_start' is set correctly. * tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Rename from cut-huge-to-eol-range.sh, and add a test to verify large amounts of mem aren't allocated. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/13127
2013-04-28stat,tail: improve support for snfsPádraig Brady
The StorNext distributed file system was previously known as CVFS. * src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add new file system ID definition. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/14251
2013-04-20tail: exit following by descriptor when no tailable file leftBernhard Voelker
As a side effect of the previous commit which fixes 'tail -f --retry' to wait for a file to appear, tail would not exit when the last file appears untailable and gives up on this file. This can happen, for example, when the argument file name appears as directory. Tail sets the 'ignore' flag of this file to true, but instead of exiting the program, tail would continue the loop. * src/tail.c (any_live_files): Change the function to return true if any of the files is still tailable or if tail should continue to try to check again. (tail_forever): Change the condition to break the loop in the "no files remaining" case, because now any_live_files() will care about it, as mentioned above. (parse_options): When --retry is used without any follow mode, then reset reopen_inaccessible_files to false. * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add test case.
2013-04-20tail: let -f --retry wait for inaccessible filesBernhard Voelker
The --retry option is indeed useful for both following modes by name and by file descriptor. The difference is that in the latter case, it is effective only during the initial open. As a regression of the implementation of the inotify support, tail -f --retry would immediately exit if the given file is inaccessible. * src/tail.c (usage): Change the description of the --retry option: remove the note that this option would mainly be useful when following by name. (main): Change diagnosing dubios uses of --retry option: when the --retry option is used without following, then issue a warning that this option is ignored; when it is used together with --follow=descriptor, then issue a warning that it is only effective for the initial open. Disable inotify also in the case when the initial open in tail_file() failed (which is the actual bug fix). * init.cfg (retry_delay_): Pass excess arguments to the test function. * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add new tests. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Enhance the documentation of the --retry option. Clarify the difference in tail's behavior regarding the --retry option when combined with the following modes name versus descriptor. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the fix. Reported by Noel Morrison in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2013-04/msg00003.html
2013-04-14head: with --bytes=-N only allocate memory as neededPádraig Brady
* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_pipe): Don't use calloc as that bypasses memory overcommit due to the zeroing requirement. Also realloc rather than malloc the pointer array to avoid dependence on overcommit entirely. * tests/misc/head-c.sh: Add a test case. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/13530
2013-04-14dd: avoid buffer allocations unless neededOndrej Oprala
* src/dd.c: Add new static global variable ibuf. (alloc_ibuf, alloc_obuf): New functions factored from dd_copy(). (dd_copy): Call the new functions to allocate memory for ibuf and obuf when necessary. (skip): Likewise. * tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: New test. * tests/local.mk: Reference the test.
2013-04-10csplit: add the --suppress-matched optionAssaf Gordon
With --suppress-matched, the lines that match the pattern will not be printed in the output files. I.E. the first line from the second and subsequent splits will be suppressed. * src/csplit.c: process_regexp(),process_line_count(): Don't output the matched lines. Since csplit includes "up to but not including" matched lines in each split, the first line (in the next group) is the matched line - so just skip it. main(): Handle new option. usage(): Mention new option. * doc/coreutils.texi (csplit invocation): Mention new option, examples. * tests/misc/csplit-suppress-matched.pl: New test script. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention new feature.
2013-04-04tail: exit without reading input if would never outputPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (main): If -n0 or -c0 were specified without -f, then no data would ever be output, so exit without reading input. * tests/tail-2/tail-n0f.sh: Augment the related test with this case.
2013-04-04shuf: exit without reading if would never outputPádraig Brady
* src/shuf.c (main): If -n0 specified then no data would ever be output, so exit without reading input. * tests/misc/shuf.sh: Augment the related test with this case.
2013-04-04ln: --relative: fix updating of existing symlinksRémy Lefevre
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. Resolves http://bugs.gnu.org/14116
2013-03-25shuf: use reservoir-sampling for large or unknown sized inputsAssaf Gordon
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. * src/shuf.c (main): Use reservoir-sampling when the number of output 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. (write_permuted_output_reservoir): New function to output reservoir. * tests/misc/shuf-reservoir.sh: An expensive_ test using valgrind to exercise the reservoir-sampling code. * tests/local.mk: Reference new test. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2013-03-24stat,tail: improve support for efivarfs, exofs, f2fs and ubifsPádraig Brady
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add new file system ID definitions. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/14020
2013-03-24maint: improve make src/fs-magic-comparePádraig Brady
* README-release: fix the `make` command, and mention how to get the latest results without requring running a system with the latest kernel. * src/local.mk (src/fs-latest-magic.h): A new target to document how/where to place the latest magic header. (src/fs-kernel-magic): Adjust to include separately downloaded header if available. (src/fs-magic): Undefine MANPAGER as it may impact the ability to pipe the output of man(1). (fs-magic-compare): Don't echo the commands run as they're distracting from the output which needs to be examined.
2013-03-22doc: clarify the printable characters output by odPádraig Brady
* src/od.c (usage): Mention any printable character is output, Not just ASCII. * doc/coreutils.texi (od invocation): Further clarify that only single byte characters are output (due to the alignment requirement). Also mention the fact that 3 digit octal sequences are output for non printable characters without a corresponding C escape. Reported in http://bugs.gnu.org/13947
2013-03-22doc: clarify stat the meaning of --format="%t %T"Pádraig Brady

2013-02-28uniq: add the --group optionAssaf Gordon
* src/uniq.c (usage): Summarize the new option, and adjust the --all-repeated option to be more consistent. (check_file): Merge the --group functionality into the core loop for the default uniq operation since it's very similar and can output lines immediately upon reading. (main): Handle the new --group option and make it mutually exclusive with other selection options. * tests/misc/uniq.pl: Add tests. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. * doc/coreutils.texi (uniq invocation): Describe --group.
2013-02-28doc: move some info from all --help messages, onlinePádraig Brady
* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): Link to the bug report email addresses and general help URLs online rather than specifying directly. This give us greater scope to present better info like describing the difference between bug-coreutils@gnu.org and coreutils@gnu.org etc. * tests/misc/help-version.sh: Remove the check for bug-coreutils@gnu.org * tests/local.mk: Remove the no longer needed PACKAGE_BUGREPORT.
