2012-09-05build: don't use recursive make for tests/ subdirectoryStefano Lattarini
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove 'tests'. (include): The '$(top_srcdir)/tests/local.mk' file. (check-root): Remove this convenience target, it's no longer needed now that the "real" check-root target once in 'tests/Makefile' will land in the top-level makefile. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove 'tests/Makefile'. * tests/Makefile.am: Rename ... * tests/local.mk: ... like this, with a lot of adjustments. * tests/init.cfg: Move ... * init.cfg: ... here. This is necessary, for a limitation of the gnulib-provided 'tests/init.sh', which unconditionally look for 'init.cfg' in the $(srcdir) directory. * tests/*/*.sh: Adjust: expect init.sh to be in '$srcdir/tests', not in '$srcdir', and extend $PATH with './src', not with '../src'. * tests/Coreutils.pm: Adjust similarly. * tests/pr/pr-tests.pl ($pfx): Likewise.
2012-09-05maint: list of names of built programs available in the MakefilesStefano Lattarini
This is just a preparatory refactoring in view of future changes. * configure.ac (AC_SUBST): New 'built_programs'. * tests/Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Simply define the exported variable 'built_programs' to the expansion of the '$(built_programs)' AC_SUBST'd make variable. (.built-programs): Remove this now-unneeded convenience target. (CLEANFILES, check_DATA): Delete, no longer needed.
2012-09-05tests: remove the unused 'root-hint' targetStefano Lattarini
* tests/Makefile.am (root-hint): Here. The interested user can see the reasons why some tests are skipped by looking at the messages they display on the console; here's an excerpt: ... PASS: misc/id-groups.sh id-setgid.sh: skipped test: must be run as root SKIP: misc/id-setgid.sh PASS: misc/md5sum.pl ... PASS: df/total-verify.sh 2g.sh: skipped test: very expensive: disabled by default SKIP: du/2g.sh ... Clear enough, and more specific and precise that a generic "some tests might need to be run as root" message. And if that user is interested in making those tests run anyway, he'll just take a look to the README files to look for info. So there's no reason to pollute the stdout with another "hint" that is subsumed by those messages, and that might go unnoticed anyway. Moreover, and possibly more importantly, that hint wasn't being displayed anyway, even before this change! That's because the 'root-hint' target was listed as prerequisite for the 'check-recursive' target, which however was not a dependency of the 'check' target in 'tests/Makefile.am', because that file contains no $(SUBDIRS) definition.
2012-09-05tests: use suffix, not exec-bit, to tell which files are testsStefano Lattarini
* tests/Makefile.am (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Adjust to look, in the 'tests/' subdirectory, for files that have one of the extensions listed in $(TEST_EXTENSIONS), rather than for executable files.
2012-09-05maint: make vc_exe_in_TESTS also work in VPATH buildsStefano Lattarini
* tests/Makefile.am (vc_exe_in_TESTS): It is easy to adjust this recipe to also work in VPATH setups, also thanks to modifications done by previous changes.
2012-09-05maint: remove useless dependency for vc_exe_in_TESTSStefano Lattarini
* tests/Makefile.am (vc_exe_in_TESTS): No need to depend on Makefile: this target is .PHONY, so it is always run anyway.
2012-09-05maint: avoid parsing of Makefile.am from vc_exe_in_TESTSStefano Lattarini
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Rename ... (all_tests): ... like this, so that we'll still be able to know the complete list of our tests even if the user overrides TESTS from the command line (which he's allowed to do by the test harness API). (root_tests): Rename ... (all_root_tests): ... like this, for similar reasons. (TESTS, root_tests): Redefine their defaults to to $(all_tests) and $(all_root_tests) respectively. (vc_exe_in_TESTS): It can now safely use $(all_tests) to get the complete list of test cases according to the Makefile, instead of having to resort to "parsing" of Makefile.am. (EXTRA_DIST): Use $(all_tests), not $(TESTS). (v_, w_): Delete, no longer needed.
2012-09-05build: use 'check-local' to extend the 'check' targetStefano Lattarini
* tests/Makefile.am (check-local): Here, by making this depend on 'vc_exe_in_TESTS' ... (check): ... rather than making this depend on them. While the old usage worked, it relied on an implementation detail rather than on documented behavior. * src/local.mk (check-local): Similarly, make this depend on 'check-README' and 'check-duplicate-no-install' ... (check): ... rather than on this.
2012-09-01build: don't use recursive make to build the 'src' subdirectoryStefano Lattarini
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove 'src'. Ensure '.' is listed before 'tests' and 'gnulib-tests'. (dist-hook): Adjust: we must now tweak the top-level Makefile.in in $(distdir), not the one in the 'src/' subdir (which is gone). (include): The '$(top_srcdir)/src/local.mk' file. * build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: Adjust the generation of the automake input fragment. * tests/Makefile.am (.built-programs): Adjust. * cfg.mk (all_programs): Remove this convenience rule; it's no longer needed, now that we can rely directly on the contents of $(all_programs). (sc_option_desc_uppercase, check-programs-vs-x:): Adjust lists of prerequisites accordingly. (all-progs-but-lbracket): Simplify definition accordingly. * configure.ac ($OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS): Adjust definition. ($OPTIONAL_PKGLIB_PROGS): Likewise. ($NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): Tweak definition, for consistency. (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove 'src/Makefile'. * src/Makefile.am: Rename ... * src/local.mk: ... like this, with a lot of adjustments. In addition ... (all_programs): ... remove this now-unneeded convenience target.
2012-08-31maint: fixup: don't try to distribute a now-removed fileStefano Lattarini
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Drop 'check.mk', which has been removed (being merged into 'tests/Makefile.am') by recent changes.
2012-08-30tests: get rid of the 'shell-or-perl' auxiliary scriptStefano Lattarini
It's now easier and faster to simply run the perl ans shell test scripts directly with the appropriate interpreter and options. * tests/shell-or-perl: Delete. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove it. (SH_LOG_COMPILER): Re-define to invoke the correct shell. (PL_LOG_COMPILER): Re-define to invoke the correct perl interpreter ... (TESTSUITE_PERL_OPTIONS): ... with the correct options. (XPL_LOG_COMPILER): Use those options instead of inlining their expansion. (LOG_COMPILER): Delete, no longer needed.
2012-08-30tests: add .sh and .pl suffixes to shell and perl tests, respectivelyStefano Lattarini
Not only this shrinks the size of the generated Makefile (from > 6300 lines to ~3000), but will allow further simplifications in future changes. * tests/Makefile.am (TEST_EXTENSIONS): Add '.sh' and '.pl'. (PL_LOG_COMPILER, SH_LOG_COMPILER): New, still defined simply to $(LOG_COMPILER) for the time being. (TESTS, root_tests): Adjust as described. * All tests: Rename as described.
2012-08-30tests: detect missing perl at configure runtimeStefano Lattarini
* configure.ac (AM_CONDITIONAL): Set the conditional 'HAVE_PERL' to true if the configure-time checks (as run by gl_PERL) have been able to find a working perl. * tests/no-perl: New script, report a diagnostic about "missing perl" and exit with status 77. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute it. (TESTSUITE_PERL): New, define to '$(PERL)' if a perl interpreter has been found at configure time (i.e., if the 'HAVE_PERL' automake conditional is true), and to '$(srcdir)/no-perl' otherwise. (LOG_COMPILER): Use $(TESTSUITE_PERL) instead of $(PERL). (XPL_LOG_COMPILER): Likewise. * tests/shell-or-perl: Simplify: no need to actually check whether perl is working.
2012-08-30tests: avoid use of '-T' in shebang line to enable perl taint modeStefano Lattarini
* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Rename ... * tests/rm/fail-eperm.xpl: ... like this * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust. (TEST_EXTENSIONS): New, list '.xpl'. (XPL_TEST_LOGS): New, run a perl test in tainted mode. * tests/shell-or-perl: Simplify this script: we no longer need to parse the shebang line and adjust the flags in the perl invocation accordingly.
2012-08-30tests: prefer AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT over TESTS_ENVIRONMENTStefano Lattarini
The latter should be reserved for user overrides. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Rename ... (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): ... like this.
2012-08-30tests: merge tests/check.mk into tests/Makefile.amStefano Lattarini
The separation has become unnecessary after all the ancient 'tests/*/Makefile.am' makefiles have been merged into the "more-top-level" one 'tests/Makefile.am'. * tests/check.mk: Merge ... * tests/Makefile.am: ... in here. Some comments tweaking while at it.
2012-08-23rm: fix the new --dir (-d) option to work with -iRob Day
* src/remove.c (prompt): Hoist the computation of is_empty, since we'll need it slightly earlier. Before, this function would arrange to fail with EISDIR when processing a directory without --recursive (-r). Adjust the condition to exempt an empty directory when --dir has been specified. Improve comments. * tests/rm/d-3: New file, to ensure that rm -d -i dir works. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * THANKS.in: Update. Reported by Michael Price in http://bugs.gnu.org/12260
2012-08-21du: handle bind-mounted directory cycles gracefullyOndrej Oprala
Before this change, a directory cycle induced by a bind mount would be treated as a fatal error, i.e., probable disk corruption. However, such cycles are relatively common, and can be detected efficiently, so now du emits a descriptive warning and arranges to exit nonzero. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * src/du.c: Include "mountlist.h". (di_mnt): New global set. (di_files): Rename global from di_set, now that there are two. (fill_mount_table): New function. (hash_ins): Add DI_SET parameter. (process_file): Look up each dir dev/ino pair in the new set. (main): Allocate, initialize, and free the new set. * tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle: Add a test for the fix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * THANKS.in: Update. This implements the proposal in http://bugs.gnu.org/11844. Originally reported in http://bugs.debian.org/563254 by Alan Jenkins and more recently as http://bugzilla.redhat.com/836557 Improved by: Jim Meyering
2012-08-18tests: trigger the sort -u free-memory-read bugJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-u-FMR: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * tests/misc/sort: Add the test here, too. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2012-08-14rm: new option --dir (-d) to remove empty directoriesKrzysztof Goj
Add new option to rm (-d/--dir), which allows removal of empty directories, while still safely disallowing removal of non-empty ones. This improves compatibility with Mac OS X and BSD systems, which honor the -d option. * src/remove.c (rm_fts): Remove empty directories when requested. * src/remove.h (rm_options) [remove_empty_directories]: New member. * src/rm.c (long_opts, usage, main): Update usage and option parsing. (rm_option_init): Initialize the new member. * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize the new member. * tests/rm/d-1: New test case - successfully delete empty dir. * tests/rm/d-2: New test case - refuse to delete nonempty dir. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
2012-08-14df: fail when the mount list is required but cannot be readBernhard Voelker
* src/df.c (main): Add conditions to fail when the mount list cannot be read: this includes the cases when a file name argument is given and any of -a, -l, -t or -x is used. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document the additional error conditions. * tests/df/no-mtab-status: Add a new test. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2012-08-04df: fix exit code and error messages with --totalBernhard Voelker
When the combination of the file system options with given files or devices does not lead to output, "df --total" would exit successfully although it should not. Examples: $ df --total --type=xfs / # when / is not an XFS file system $ df --total --local -t nfs DIR # nfs is remote per se ... $ df --total -t qwerty /dev/sdb5 # typo in file system type Furthermore, "df --total" would not print the error message "no file systems processed" when the file argument does not exist or is otherwise not accessible. Example: $ df --total __not_exist__ These 2 bugs are present since --total was added by commit v6.12-166-gea2887b. * src/df.c (get_dev): Do not set file_systems_processed to true when force_fsu is true, i.e. when the row for the "total" line is processed. (main): Don't print totals unless we've processed a file system. Also only print the "no FS processed" message if there was no preceding diagnostic. * tests/df/total-unprocessed: Add a new test. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Improved-by: Jim Meyering
2012-07-16maint: move two df tests from tests/misc to tests/dfPádraig Brady
* test/Makefile.am: Reference the moved tests.
2012-07-16df: don't output control characters in a mount point namePádraig Brady
It's awkward to read and problematic for scripts when control characters like '\n' are output. Note other fields are already handled with mbsalign, which converts non printable chars to the replacement char. A caveat to note with that, is the replacement char takes a place in the field and so possibly truncates the field if it was the widest field in the records. Note a more general replacement function, that handles all printable, or non white space characters, would require more sophisticated support for various encodings, and the complexity vs benefit was not deemed beneficial enough at present. Perhaps in future a more general replacement function could be shared between the various utilities. Note <space> is unaffected in any field, which could impact scripts processing the output. However any of the number fields at least could have spaces considering `LANG=fr_FR df -B\'1`, so it's probably best to leave spaces, which also allows scripts to handle mount points with spaces without change. * src/df.c (hide_problematic_chars): Replace control chars with '?'. * tests/df/problematic-chars: Add a new root only test. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2012-07-02sort: avoid redundant processing with inaccessible inputs or outputPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c (check_inputs): A new function to verify all inputs are accessible before further processing. (check_output): A new function to open or create a specified output file, before futher processing. (stream_open): Adjust to truncating the previously opened output file rather than opening directly. (avoid_trashing_input): Optimize to stat the output file descriptor, rather than the file name. (main): Call the new functions to check accessibility of inputs and output, before processing starts. * tests/misc/sort: Adjust to the changed error message. * tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit: Account for the earlier opened file descriptor of the specified output file. * tests/misc/sort-exit-early: A new test to exercise the improvements. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. Suggested-by: Bernhard Voelker
2012-06-22split: ensure output doesn't overwrite inputPádraig Brady
* src/split.c (create): Check if output file is the same inode as the input file. * tests/split/guard-input: New test case. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference new test case. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Improved-by: Jim Meyering Reported-by: François Pinard
2012-06-06su: remove program (util-linux is now the best source for it)Jim Meyering
* README: Omit "su" from list of programs. * src/su.c: Remove file. * src/Makefile.am: Remove su-related rules and variables. * tests/misc/su-fail: Remove test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove misc/su-fail. * tests/misc/invalid-opt: Remove su-related code. * src/.gitignore: Remove su. * man/su.x: Remove file. * man/Makefile.am (su.1): Remove rule. * po/POTFILES.in: Remove su.c from the list. * TODO: Remove ancient entry. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi: Remove su-related description. * AUTHORS: Remove su. * m4/lib-check.m4 (cu_LIB_CHECK): Remove file/macro. * configure.ac: Remove su-related code and sole use of cu_LIB_CHECK. * scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Remove su from this list, too.
2012-05-12ls: color each symlink-to-relative-name in / properlyJim Meyering
In order for ls --color to color each symlink, it must form the name of each referent and then stat it to see if the link is dangling, to a directory, to a file, etc. When the symlink is to a relative name, ls must concatenate the starting directory name and that relative name. When, in addition, the starting directory was "/" or "/some-name", the result was ill-formed, and the subsequent stat would usually fail, making the caller color it as a dangling symlink. * src/ls.c (make_link_name): Don't botch the case in which dir_name(NAME) == "/" and LINKNAME is relative. * tests/ls/root-rel-symlink-color: New file. Test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Mike Frysinger in http://bugs.gnu.org/11453 Bug introduced by commit v8.16-23-gbcb9078.
2012-05-10tests: misc/tty-eof: increase timeout to avoid unwarranted failureJim Meyering
* tests/misc/tty-eof: Increase timeout from 1s to 10s, to avoid unwarranted failure under heavy load. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Move misc/tty-eof "up" to nearer the beginning of the list (from near the middle) so that it is started earlier in parallel test runs. Otherwise, it would frequently be among the last two tests to complete.
2012-05-07cp: handle a race condition more sensiblyJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): In a narrow race (stat sees dest, yet open-without-O_CREAT fails with ENOENT), retry the open with O_CREAT. * tests/cp/nfs-removal-race: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Philipp Thomas and Neil F. Brown in http://bugs.gnu.org/11100
2012-04-27id,groups: with no user name, print only real and/or effective IDs,Jim Meyering
... i.e., don't use the getpw* functions. Before this change, running groups or id with no user name argument would include a group name or ID from /etc/passwd. Thus, under unusual circumstances (default group is changed, but has not taken effect for a given session), those programs could print a name or ID that is neither real nor effective. To demonstrate, run this: echo 'for i in 1 2; do id -G; sleep 1.5; done' \ |su -s /bin/sh ftp - & sleep 1; perl -pi -e 's/^(ftp:x:\d+):(\d+)/$1:9876/' /etc/passwd Those id -G commands printed the following: 50 50 9876 With this change, they print this: 50 50 Similarly, running those programs set-GID could make them print one ID too many. * src/group-list.c (print_group_list): When username is NULL, pass egid, not getpwuid(ruid)->pw_gid), to xgetgroups, per the API requirements of xgetgroups callee, mgetgroups. When not using the password database, don't call getpwuid. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/id-setgid: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. (root_tests): It's a root-only test, so add it here, too. Originally reported by Brynnen Owen as http://bugs.gnu.org/7320. Raised again by Marc Mengel in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/816708.
2012-04-19tests: factor out expensive "pairs" code of misc/sttyBernhard Voelker
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/stty-pairs. * tests/init.cfg (stty_reversible_init_): New function. (stty_reversible_query_): New function. * tests/misc/stty: Factor out expensive "pairs" code into new test. Use new stty_reversible_* functions instead of evaluating static REV_* variables. * tests/misc/stty-pairs: Add new test. Code added from misc/stty. Mark this as an expensive test. Skip 'parenb' and 'cread' options, as these tests are known to fail. Like in misc/stty, also use the new stty_reversible_* functions.
2012-04-12fmt: accept new --goal=WIDTH (-g) optionBruce Korb
Accept -g for BSD/Plan9 compatibility. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * tests/fmt/goal-option: New test. * tests/fmt/long-line: Rename from tests/fmt-long-line. * tests/fmt/base: Rename from tests/misc/fmt. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document it. * src/fmt.c (main): Accept the new option (check_for_goals): new function to implement the operands Based on BSD's and Plan-9's fmt programs.
2012-04-12cp: change --attributes-only to not truncate existing filesPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't truncate an existing file, to support copying attributes between existing files. The original use case only considered creating new files, and it would be a very unusual use case to be relying on the truncating behavior. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention the non truncating behavior. * tests/cp/attr-existing: A new test to ensure O_TRUNC skipped. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
2012-03-22ln: add the --relative optionHarald Hoyer
With the "--relative --symbolic" options, ln computes the relative symbolic link for the user. So, ln works just as cp, but creates relative symbolic links instead of copying the file. I miss this feature since the beginning of using ln. $ tree ./ / `-- usr |-- bin `-- lib `-- foo `-- foo 4 directories, 1 file $ ln -s -v --relative usr/lib/foo/foo usr/bin/foo ‘usr/bin/foo’ -> ‘../lib/foo/foo’ $ tree ./ / `-- usr |-- bin | `-- foo -> ../lib/foo/foo `-- lib `-- foo `-- foo 4 directories, 2 files $ ln -s -v --relative usr/bin/foo usr/lib/foo/link-to-foo ‘usr/lib/foo/link-to-foo’ -> ‘foo’ $ tree ./ / `-- usr |-- bin | `-- foo -> ../lib/foo/foo `-- lib `-- foo |-- link-to-foo -> foo `-- foo 4 directories, 3 files * src/Makefile.am: Reference the relpath module. * src/ln.c (usage): Mention the new option. (do_link): Call the relative conversion if specified. (convert_abs_rel): Perform the relative conversion using the relpath module. * tests/ln/relative: Add a new test. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document the new feature. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2012-03-14test: expose recent gnulib canonicalize bugEric Blake
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-02/msg00038.html detailed a couple of bugs in gnulib's canonicalize that were visible through coreutils' readlink, but only on systems where // is distinct from /. This particular test assumes the POSIX fix which requires canonicalization of a symlink containing just slashes to behave as if slashes separating the symlink from the rest of the name are elided (see http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=541), as that is the only useful (and current) behavior on Cygwin. That is, ln -s / root ls root/dev must list the contents of /dev, not //dev. * tests/misc/readlink-root: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.
2012-03-13tests: new discriminator-based test for sort -n and -hPaul Eggert
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/sort-discrim. * tests/misc/sort-discrim: New file, which tests a discriminator-based implementation of 'sort'. Coreutils doesn't use this implementation yet, but the test is useful anyway. Co-authored-by: Drew Kutilek <dkutilek@ucla.edu> Co-authored-by: James Wendt <jwendt@cs.ucla.edu>
2012-03-10split: support an arbitrary number of split files by defaultJérémy Compostella
* src/split.c (next_file_name): If `suffix_auto' is true and the first suffix character is 'z', generate a new file file name adding `z' to the prefix and increasing the suffix length by one. (set_suffix_length): Disable auto suffix width in various cases. * tests/split/suffix-auto-length: Test it. * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Mention it. * NEWS (Improvements): Likewise.
2012-02-29dd: add support for the conv=sparse optionRoman Rybalko
Notes: Small seeks are not coalesced to larger ones, like is done in cache_round() for example. conv= is used rather then oflag= for FreeBSD compatibility. * src/dd.c (final_op_was_seek): A new global boolean to flag whether the final "write" was converted to a seek. (usage): Describe the new conf=sparse option. (iwrite): Convert a write of a NUL block to a seek if requested. (do_copy): Initialize the output buffer to have a sentinel, to allow for efficient testing for NUL output blocks. If the last block in the file was converted to a seek, then convert back to a write so the size is updated. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. * tests/dd/sparse: A new test for the feature. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
2012-02-20split: add the --additional-suffix optionJérémy Compostella

2012-02-18split: support optional start value for --numeric-suffixesJérémy Compostella
Allow changing the --numeric-suffixes start number from the default of 0. * src/split.c (next_file_name): Initialize the suffix index and the output filename according to start value. (main): Check that the suffix length is large enough for the numerical suffix start value. * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Mention it. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * tests/split/numeric: New file. Test --numeric-suffixes[=FROM]. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reference the new test.
2012-02-12dd: add count_bytes, skip_bytes and seek_bytes flagsJérémy Compostella
dd now accepts the count_bytes and skip_bytes input flag and the seek_bytes output flag, to more easily allow processing portions of a file. * src/dd.c (scanargs): Compute skip_records and skip_bytes when 'skip_bytes' iflag is used. Compute max_records and max_bytes when 'count_bytes' iflag is used. Compute seek_records and seek_bytes when 'seek_bytes' oflag is used. (skip_via_lseek): Use new 'bytes' parameter and handle potential 'records' equals to zero. Update the bytes parameter when called with 'fdesc' equal to STDOUT_FILENO. Update the header comments. (dd_copy): Skip accordingly to skip_records AND skip_bytes. Count accordingly to max_records AND max_bytes. Seek on output accordingly to seek_records AND seek_bytes. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Detail new flags and behaviors. * tests/dd/bytes: New file. Tests for these new flags. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2012-02-12mv: "mv A B" would sometimes succeed, yet A would remain, ...Jim Meyering
But only when both A and B were hard links to the same symlink. * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Handle another special case: the one in which we are moving a symlink onto a hard link to itself. In this case, we must explicitly tell the caller to unlink the source file. Otherwise, at least the linux-3.x kernel rename function would do nothing, as mandated by POSIX 2008. * tests/mv/symlink-onto-hardlink-to-self: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Bernhard Voelker in http://bugs.gnu.org/10686
2012-01-30mv: allow moving symlink onto same-inode dest with >= 2 hard linksJim Meyering
Normally, mv detects a few subtle cases in which proceeding with a same-file rename would, with very high probability, cause data loss. Here, we have found a corner case in which one of these same-inode tests makes mv refuse to perform a useful operation. Permit that corner case. * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Detect/exempt this case. * tests/mv/symlink-onto-hardlink: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Initially reported by: Matt McCutchen in http://bugs.gnu.org/6960. Raised again by Anders Kaseorg due to http://bugs.debian.org/654596. Improved-by: Paul Eggert.
2012-01-09tests: change `...' to '...' on lines not matching /[=\$]/Jim Meyering
Exempt lines with '$' or '=', since those are prone to improper conversion. Run this: git grep -l "\`[^']*'" tests \ |xargs perl -pi -e '/[=\$]/ and next;s/\`([^'\''"]*?'\'')/'\''$1/g'
2012-01-03realpath: a new program to print the resolved pathPádraig Brady
This program is compatible with other realpath(1) implementations, and also incorporates relpath like support, through the --relative options. The relpath support was suggested by Peng Yu, who also provided an initial implemenation of that functionality. * AUTHORS: Add my name. * NEWS: Mention the new command. * README: Likewise. * doc/coreutils.texi (realpath invocation): Add realpath info. * man/Makefile.am (realpath.1): Add dependency. * man/realpath.x: New template. * man/.gitignore: Ignore generated man page. * po/POTFILES.in: Add src/realpath.c. * src/.gitignore: Exclude realpath. * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Add realpath. * src/realpath.c: New file. * scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Add realpath to the list of prefixes. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/realpath. * tests/misc/realpath: New file.
2011-12-12ls: give a more useful diagnostic for a bogus --time-style argJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (decode_switches): Replace our use of XARGMATCH with open-coded version so that we can give a better diagnostic. * tests/ls/time-style-diag: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. Reported by Dan Jacobson in http://bugs.gnu.org/10253 with suggestions from Eric Blake and Paul Eggert.
2011-11-14id: fail when getuid, getgid, etc. fail, e.g., on GNU/HurdLudovic Courtès
POSIX-conforming getuid, geteuid, etc. functions cannot fail, but on GNU/Hurd systems and some others, they may. * src/id.c (main) [__GNU__]: Detect and diagnose any such failure. * tests/id/gnu-zero-uids: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it to the list. * tests/init.cfg (require_gnu_): New function.
2011-11-11ls: -k no longer affects -l's file sizesPaul Eggert
This fixes an incompatibility with POSIX 2008 and with BSD. Problem reported by Abdallah Clark (Bug#9939) via Alan Curry (Bug#10016). * NEWS: Document this. * doc/coreutils.texi (General output formatting): Document the new -k behavior, and --kibibytes. * src/ls.c (file_human_output_opts): New static var. (long_options, usage): Add --kibibytes. (decode_switches, gobble_file, print_long_format): Implement the new -k behavior. * tests/ls/block-size: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
