This adds support for using a constant or "stick" parity bit.
* src/stty.c (usage): Mention the new flag.
* tests/misc/stty.sh: Adjust for the new flag.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* docs/coreutils.texi (stty invocation): Mention the new flag.

* src/shred.c (dopass): Exit early to avoid redundant heap
allocation, and more importantly avoiding a file sync
when we're writting no data, as this can have side effects.
Also with --verbose, this avoids printing of "pass status"
which could be confusing as to whether data was actually written.
* tests/misc/shred-passes.sh: Ensure the status for data
passes are not written when not doing any data writes.

Since direct I/O is now enabled with commit v8.21-139-gebaf961
we must handle the case where we write an odd size at the
end of a file (with --exact), or we specify an odd --size that
is larger than 64KiB, or in the very unlikely case of a device
with an odd size. This issue was present since direct I/O
support was first added in v5.3.0, but latent since v6.0.
Theoretically this could have also been an issue after that on
systems which didn't have alignment constraints, but did have
size constraints for direct I/O.
* src/shred.c (dopass): On the first pass for a file, always
retry a write that fails with EINVAL, so we handle direct I/O
failure at either the start or end of the file. Adjust the comment
as the original case is out of date and implicitly handled
by this more general fix.
* tests/misc/shred-exact.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Add a "bug fix" entry for shred since there are
two related issues now fixed.

* src/md5sum.c (main): Add a comment as to why we continue
to escape names that do not have '\n' but do have '\\' chars.
(print_filename): Use the predetermined boolean to decide
whether to escape or not, so that in the common case we
can output the file name directly, rather than inspecting each char.
* tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Add case to show '\\' chars cause escaping.
* tests/misc/sha1sum.pl: Likewise.

The reason for having a --quiet option is to
suppress only some subset of possible errors.
The most useful separation here is with usage/internal errors,
and errors due to file creation etc. (i.e. I/O errors).
* src/mktemp.c (main): Match the --help and info docs and
only suppress the file/dir creation error messages.
* tests/misc/mktemp.pl: Adjust accordingly.

new option. In the getopt_long loop, handle it.
Output an error diagnostic in the case the --zero option has been
specified together with the default format.
In the case of -gG, pass either a NUL or a white space character to
print_group_list() - depending on the above new flag.
Likewise change the printing of the final newline character: output
a NUL instead if the --zero option has been specified.
* doc/coreutils.texi (id invocation): Document the new option.
While at it, move the @exitstatus macro down after the macro
@primaryAndSupplementaryGroups in order to be consistent with

* tests/misc/head-c.sh: Don't try to elide 1 exabytes, since on
32-bit systems, that number is not representable as a size_t.

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

src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null
echo -ne "\n== $c =="
time src/cut-$c -b1,3 big-file > /dev/null

## Again with --output-delimiter ##
$ for c in orig sentinel; do

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.

This issue was introduced in commit v8.21-43-g3e466ad
* src/cut.c (set_fields): Process all range pairs when merging.

Also fix an issue where we could miss reported errors due
to truncation of the 'err' file.

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.

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.

* init.cfg (require_ulimit_v_): Renamed from require_ulimit_
as this only checks for ulimit -v support. Other uses of
ulimit -t and ulimit -n in tests shouldn't cause false failures
if not supported.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_ulimit_without_require_): A new syntax check
to ensure that require_ulimit_v_() is used iff required.
* tests/misc/head-c.sh: Add missing call to require_ulimit_v_.

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.

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.

(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.

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.
