2015-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesPádraig Brady
Run "make update-copyright" and then... * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year. * tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle-v2.sh: Fix case in copyright message, so that year is updated automatically in future.
2014-09-30dd: new status=progress level to print stats periodicallyFederico Simoncelli
* src/dd.c: Report the transfer progress every second when the new status=progress level is used. Adjust the handling and description of the status= option so that they're treated as mutually exclusive levels, rather than flags with implicit precedence. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Document the new progress status level. Reference the new level in the description of SIGUSR1. * tests/dd/stats.sh: Add new test for status=progress. * tests/dd/misc.sh: Change so status=none only takes precedence if it's the last level specified. * NEWS: Mention the feature.
2014-09-30dd: use more robust SIGUSR1 handlingPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (ifd_reopen): A new wrapper to ensure we don't exit upon receiving a SIGUSR1 in a blocking open() on a fifo for example. (iftruncate): Likewise for ftruncate(). (iread): Process signals also after a short read. (install_signal_handlers): Install SIGINFO/SIGUSR1 handler even if set to SIG_IGN, as this is what the parent can easily set from a shell script that can send SIGUSR1 without the possiblity of inadvertently killing the dd process. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Improve the example to show robust usage wrt signal races and short reads. * tests/dd/stats.sh: A new test for various signal races. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
