2014-06-30pwd: assume -L mode by default, as per POSIXPádraig Brady
* src/pwd.c (main): Adjust default mode to be "logical" and independent of the POSIXLY_CORRECT env var. (usage): Mention the default mode of operation. * doc/coreutils.texi (pwd invocation): Adjust accordingly. * tests/misc/pwd-option.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
2014-06-26tests: use predetermined NON_ROOT_GIDPádraig Brady
* HACKING: GID is more useful in tests than group name, so rename input param from NON_ROOT_GROUP to NON_ROOT_GID to make it obvious that only a group ID is now acceptable, thus allowing GID lookups to be avoided throughout the tests. * init.cfg (require_root_): Likewise. * tests/misc/truncate-owned-by-other.sh: Avoid looking up the GID. * tests/touch/now-owned-by-other.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/chroot-credentials.sh: Likewise. Also fix an instance of comparison against NON_ROOT_GROUP which would have given a false failure if a non numeric value was passed in. * tests/id/setgid.sh: Use previously looked up gid as a more accurate base for the subsequent adjustment, and move the uid lookup within chroot, rather than having the overhead of a separate `id` invocation.
2014-06-18seq: fix incorrect output with start or end of -0Pádraig Brady
* src/seq.c (main): Avoid seq_fast() with a start or end of -0. * tests/misc/seq.pl: Add test cases. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/17800
2014-06-03tests: consolidate tests for true and falsePádraig Brady
* src/true.c (main): Add a comment about the possibility of true returning EXIT_FAILURE due to write failure. * tests/misc/false-status.sh: Fix so we're testing the tool and not the shell builtin. Add a case for true(1). * tests/misc/help-version.sh: Skip /dev/full test for true as well as false since the exit status is tested separately. Also remove the iterations for different LC_MESSAGES, as this was only applied for false(1). Translations are not honored in the test dir and so would need separate handling in any case.
2014-06-01cut: restore special case handling of -f with -d$'\n'Pádraig Brady
commits v8.20-98-g51ce0bf and v8.20-99-gd302aed changed cut(1) to process each line independently and thus promptly output each line without buffering. As part of those changes we removed the special handling of --delimiter=$'\n' --fields=... which could be used to select arbitrary (ranges of) lines, so as to simplify and optimize the implementation while also matching the behavior of different cut(1) implementations. However that GNU behavior was in place for a long time, and could be useful in certain cases like making a separated list like `seq 10 | cut -f1- -d$'\n' --output-delimiter=,` although other tools like head(1) and paste(1) are more suited to this operation. This patch reinstates that functionality but restricts the "line behind" buffering behavior to only the -d$'\n' case. We also fix the following related edge case to be more consistent: before> printf "\n" | cut -s -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l 2 before> printf "\n" | cut -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l 1 after > printf "\n" | cut -s -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l 1 after > printf "\n" | cut -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l 1 * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Adjust as discussed above. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior both for v8.21 and this effective revert. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Adjust for originally omitted v8.21 entry. * src/paste.c: s/delimeter/delimiter/ comment typo fix.
2014-05-21tests: use chroot --user rather than internal setuidgid toolPádraig Brady
* init.cfg (require_root_): Adjust to use chroot, and make `require_built_ chroot` implicit when chroot used in the test. * po/POTFILES.in: Remove reference to setuidgid tool. * src/.gitignore: Likewise. * src/local.mk: Likewise. * src/setuidgid.c: Remove. * tests/cp/preserve-gid.sh: s/setuidgid/chroot --user/. * tests/cp/special-bits.sh: Likewise. * tests/id/setgid.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/truncate-owned-by-other.sh * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/fail-2eperm.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/no-give-up.sh: Likewise. * tests/touch/now-owned-by-other.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Skip if chroot not built.
2014-05-21chroot: make changing root check more robustPádraig Brady
* src/chroot.c (is_root): A new helper function to determine if the passed argument is the root directory based on inode comparison. (main): Use the new helper rather than comparing strings. * tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Add cases for alternative root paths.
2014-05-21chroot: with --userspec clear root's supplemental groupsPádraig Brady
It's dangerous and confusing to leave root's supplemental groups in place when specifying other users with --userspec. In the edge case that that is desired one can explicitly specify --groups. Also we implicitly set the system defined supplemental groups for a user. The existing mechanism where supplemental groups needed to be explicitly specified is confusing and not general when the lookup needs to be done within the chroot. Also we extend the --groups syntax slightly to allow clearing the set of supplementary groups using --groups=''. * src/chroot.c (setgroups): On systems without supplemental groups, clearing then is a noop and so should return success. (main): Lookup the primary GID with getpwuid() when just a numeric uid is specified, and also infer the USERNAME from this call, needed when we're later looking up the supplemental groups for a user. Support clearing supplemental groups, either implicitly for unknown users, or explicitly when --groups='' is specified. * tests/misc/chroot-credentials.sh: Various new test cases * doc/coreutils.texi (chroot invocation): Adjust for the new behavior. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
2014-05-16chroot: don't chdir() if not changing rootPádraig Brady
This allows chroot to be used as a light weight tool to change user identification for a command, while not changing the current working directory. It also makes `chroot / true` consistently succeed on all platforms for non root users. * src/chroot.c (main): If the same root is specified. i.e. '/' then don't change the current working directory, and avoid the overhead of the other redundant calls. * tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Remove failure guard previously needed on some systems. Also add an explicit case to ensure we don't change directory. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
2014-05-10shred: don't infloop upon negative sizeJim Meyering
* src/shred.c (main): With the preceding change, shred -s-2 FILE would write 64KB blocks forever -- or until disk full. This change makes shred reject a negative size. * tests/misc/shred-negative.sh: New file. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it.
2014-05-07tests: improve diagnostics when asserting empty filesPádraig Brady
* tests/chmod/c-option.sh: Use `compare /dev/null ... || fail=1` rather than `test -s ... && fail=1`, so that the file contents are output, thus improving diagnostics for failing tests. * tests/cp/acl.sh: Likewise. * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.sh: Likewise. * tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr.sh: Likewise. * tests/cp/reflink-perm.sh: Likewise. * tests/dd/misc.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/env-null.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/env.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/nice.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/nohup.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/printenv.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/xattr.sh: Likewise. * tests/mv/update.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/deep-2.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/read-only.sh: Likewise. * tests/split/r-chunk.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/follow-stdin.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/inotify-race.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait.sh: Likewise. * tests/touch/no-dereference.sh: Likewise. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_empty:): New syntax-check. * tests/cp/proc-zero-len.sh: Adjust to avoid false syntax-check failure. * tests/cp/proc-zero-len.sh: Likewise. * tests/mv/part-symlink.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/infloop-1.sh: Likewise.
2014-05-02numfmt: support zero padding using --format="%010f"Pádraig Brady
* src/numfmt.c (setup_padding_buffer): Simplify the code by not explicitly dealing with heap exhaustion. (parse_format_string): Likewise. Handle multiple grouping modifiers as does the standard printf. Handle the new leading zero --format modifier. (double_to_human): Use more defensive coding against overwriting stack buffers. Honor the leading zeros width. (usage): Mention the leading zero --format modifier. (main): Allow --padding in combo with a --format (width), as the number of leading zeros are useful independent of the main field width. * doc/coreutils.texi (numfmt invocation): Likewise. * tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Add new test cases. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.

"The underlying problem is that swallow_file_in_memory() is setting the contents of the global text_buffer for the first file, then updating it (clobbering old value) for the second file. Yet, some pointers to the initial buffer have been squirreled away and later, one of them (keyafter) is presumed to point into the new "text_buffer", which it does not. The subsequent SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS use backs up "cursor" and goes out of bounds." * src/ptx.c (text_buffers): Maintain references for the limits of each buffer corresponding to each file, rather than just the last processed. (struct OCCURS): Add a member to map back to the corresponding file. Note normally this could be computed from the "reference" member rather than needing the extra storage, however this is not possible when in --references mode. (find_occurs_in_text): Reference the array rather than a single entry. (define_all_fields): Likewise. Also avoid computing the file index since this is now stored directly. (main): Update text_buffers[] array rather than a single text_buffer. * tests/misc/ptx-overrun.sh: Even though this issue is already triggered with AddressSanitizer, add a new case to demonstrate the whitespace trimming issue, and to trigger without AddressSanitizer. Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/16171
2014-04-18tests: make ls tests independent of COLORTERM envPádraig Brady
Since the recent commit v8.22-68-g08783f1, ls coloring is now dependent on the COLORTERM environment variable. * tests/envvar-check: Unset COLORTERM from test environment. * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir.sh: Ensure coloring is used. * tests/misc/ls-misc.pl: Likewise. Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/10397646
2014-04-05maint: various cleanupsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Fix comment misspelling. * src/cut.c: Likewise. * src/tsort.c (detect_loop): Replace an fprintf() with error().
2014-04-05shred: overwrite inode storage used by some file systemsPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Mention some reasons why clearing slack space might be useful. * src/shred.c (do_wipefd): Add initial writes for each pass for small regular files in case the storage for those is in the inode, and thus a larger write up to a block size would bypass that. Move the direct I/O control to... (dopass): ... here so we can avoid enabling it for these small initial writes. It's better to retry direct I/O for each pass anyway to handle the case where direct I/O is disabled for only the last portion of a file when the size is not a multiple of the block size. Note we don't avoid the sync for the initial write as it will be small but more importantly could be on a different part of the disk and so worth doing independently to ensure the write is not discarded. * tests/misc/shred-exact.sh: Check some more direct I/O cases. * NEWS: Mention the improvements. The inode storage issue was mentioned by Paul Eggert.
2014-04-04shred: avoid a data pass on empty filesPádraig Brady
* src/shred.c (do_wipefd): Don't increase the size written for an empty file up to a full block. Also increase the size to OFF_T_MAX in the edge case where we do overflow. * NEWS: Mention the shred improvements from recent changes. * tests/misc/shred-passes.sh: Adjust as we no longer write a BLKSIZE of data for empty files.
2014-03-31head: fix bug with head -c-N when stdin is not at startPaul Eggert
* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_file): Fix typo in lseek invocation. * tests/misc/head-c.sh: Add test for this bug. * NEWS: Document this.
2014-03-26ptx: avoid --format long option falling through into --helpBernhard Voelker
* src/ptx.c (main): Add a 'break' after the --format handling case. Otherwise it would fall through into the usage case. * tests/misc/ptx.pl: Add test cases for --format=tex and --format=roff. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the fix. Bug introduced in 1999-04-04 commit, SH-UTILS-1_16f-269-gd815c15. Spotted by coverity (MISSING_BREAK).
2014-03-13chroot: improve --userspec and --groups look-upPádraig Brady
- Support arbitrary numbers in --groups, consistent with what is already done for --userspec - Avoid look-ups entirely for --groups items with a leading '+' - Support names that are actually numbers in --groups - Ignore an empty --groups="" option for consistency with --userspec - Look up both inside and outside the chroot with inside taking precedence. The look-up outside may load required libraries to complete the look-up inside the chroot. This can happen for example with a 32 bit chroot on a 64 bit system, where the 32 bit NSS plugins within the chroot fail to load. * src/chroot.c (parse_additional_groups): A new function refactored from set_addition_groups(), to just do the parsing. The actual setgroups() call is separated out for calling from the chroot later. (main): Call parse_user_spec() and parse_additional_groups() both outside and inside the chroot for the reasons outlined above. * tests/misc/chroot-credentials.sh: Ensure arbitrary numeric IDs can be specified without causing look-up errors. * NEWS: Mention the improvements. * THANKS.in: Add Norihiro Kamae who initially reported the issue with a proposed patch. Also thanks to Dmitry V. Levin for his diagnosis and sample patch.
2014-03-05tests: avoid the :> construct which can hide errorsPádraig Brady
On most shells `:>file || framework_failure_` will not evaluate the framework_failure_ even if there was an error writing the file. shells which do evaluate the failure are ksh 93u+ and bash 4.2, while shells wich don't include bash 4.3, solaris, freebsd, dash. Furthermore this construct is problematic on Solaris 10 sh, which will try to optimize away a `:' command in a loop after the first iteration, even if it is redirected. * tests/cp/link-deref.sh: Remove the leading colon on redirections. * tests/cp/reflink-perm.sh: Likewise. * tests/id/zero.sh: Likewise. * tests/install/install-C.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/env.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/md5sum-bsd.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/runcon-no-reorder.sh: Likewise. * tests/mv/partition-perm.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/r-root.sh: Likewise. * tests/split/l-chunk.sh: Likewise. * tests/split/line-bytes.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/symlink.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait.sh: Likewise. * tests/touch/read-only.sh: Likewise. + cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_colon_redirection): A new syntax check to avoid further instances of this creeping in.
2014-03-05tests: fix false failure in nohup.sh in non tty buildsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/nohup.sh: When running tests without a controlling tty, an exec failure is triggered in a subshell, which causes POSIX shells to immediately exit the subshell. This was brought to notice by the newly conforming bash 4.3. Fixes http:/bugs.gnu.org/16940
2014-02-27date: fix crash or infinite loop when parsing a malformed TZ=""Pádraig Brady
* NEWS: Mention the fix. * gnulib: Update to incorporate the fix. This is the only change in this gnulib update. * tests/misc/date.pl: Add a test for this case. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/16872
2014-02-23shuf: with -r, don't dump core if the input is emptyPaul Eggert
Problem reported by valiant xiao in <http://bugs.gnu.org/16855>. * NEWS: Document this. * src/shuf.c (main): With -r, report an error if the input is empty. * tests/misc/shuf.sh: Test for the bug.
2014-02-09head,tail: consistently diagnose write errorsPádraig Brady
If we can't output more data, we should immediately diagnose the issue and exit rather than consuming all of input (in some cases). * src/tail.c (xwrite_stdout): Also diagnose the case where only some data is written. Also clearerr() to avoid the redundant less specific error from atexit (close_stdout); * src/head.c (xwrite_stdout): Copy this new function from tail, and use it to write all output. * tests/misc/head-write-error.sh: A new test to ensure we exit immediately on write error. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
2014-02-09head: fix --lines=-0 outputting nothing if no newline at EOFАлексей Шилин
* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe): Just output all input in this case to avoid the issue and also avoid redundant '\n' processing. (elide_tail_lines_seekable): Likewise. * tests/misc/head-elide-tail.pl: Add tests for no '\n' at EOF. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/16329
2014-02-09od: add an --endian option to control byte swappingNiels Möller
* src/od.c (main): Handle the new --endian option, taking "little" and "big" as parameters. (usage): Describe the new option. (PRINT_FIELDS): Adjust to swap bytes if required. * tests/misc/od-endian.sh: A new test to verify the byte swapping operations for hex (ints) and floats for all sizes between 1 and 16 inclusive. * test/local.mk: Reference the new test. * doc/coreutils.texi (od invocation): Describe the new option. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2014-01-02maint: update all copyright year number rangesBernhard Voelker
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.
2013-12-07tests: avoid a false memory leak test failurePádraig Brady
* tests/misc/shuf-reservoir.sh: Restrict the valgrind "exit on leak" behavior to developer environments where specific "lint" code is enabled to avoid inconsequential leaks.
2013-12-06tests: fix shuf test verifying that -i and -e can not be combinedBernhard Voelker
Previously, the test triggered another error diagnostic: shuf: invalid input range ‘-e’ and therefore eclipsed the expected one: shuf: cannot combine -e and -i options While at it, reindent a line with more than 80 characters, present since the previous commit to silence sc_long_lines. * tests/misc/shuf.sh: Pass a valid range to the -i option.
2013-12-06shuf: --repeat, not --repetitions; default --head-count is infinityPaul Eggert
Original problem reported by Philipp Thomas in <http://bugs.gnu.org/16061>. * NEWS: shuf --repeat, not shuf --repetitions. * doc/coreutils.texi (shuf invocation): * src/shuf.c (usage, long_opts, main): * tests/misc/shuf.sh: Likewise. Also, the default head-count is infinity.
2013-12-05selinux: fix --context=CTX for cp and diagnose defaultcon() errorsPádraig Brady
* src/selinux.h (ignorable_ctx_err): A new function used to determine if a warning should be given after a call to defaultcon() or restorecon(). * src/cp.c (main): Fix the setfscreatecon() call to use the argument passed by the user. * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Show all but "ignoreable" errors from defaultcon() and restorecon(). * tests/misc/selinux.sh: Add a test run as root in selinux enforcing mode, to ensure cp --context=invalid is honored and fails immediately.
2013-11-27shred: provide --remove methods to avoid excessive syncingPádraig Brady
A sync operation is very often expensive. For illustration I timed the following python script which indicated that each ext4 dir sync was taking about 2ms and 12ms, on an SSD and traditional disk respectively. import os d=os.open(".", os.O_DIRECTORY|os.O_RDONLY) for i in range(1000): os.fdatasync(d) So syncing for each character for each file can result in significant delays. Often this overhead is redundant, as only the data is sensitive and not the file name. Even if the names are sensitive, your file system may employ synchronous metadata updates, which also makes explicit syncing redundant. * tests/misc/shred-remove.sh: Ensure all the new parameters actually unlink the file. * doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Describe the new parameters to the --remove option. * src/shred.c (Usage): Likewise. (main): Parse the new options. (wipename): Inspect the new enum to see which of the now optional tasks to perform. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. * THANKS.in: Add reporter Joseph D. Wagner
2013-11-17stty: add support for mark/space parityColin Leitner
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.
2013-11-08shred: avoid data write pass with --size=0Pádraig Brady
* 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.
2013-11-08shred: fix direct I/O failures for last write to filePádraig Brady
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.
2013-11-01maint: simplify printing of md5sum file namesPádraig Brady
* 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.
2013-10-06mktemp: with --quiet, only suppress I/O errorsPádraig Brady
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.
2013-09-22maint: move all id(1) tests to the same directoryPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/id-context.sh -> tests/id/context.sh * tests/misc/id-setgid.sh -> tests/id/setgid.sh * tests/misc/id-uid.sh -> tests/id/uid.sh * tests/misc/id-zero.sh -> tests/id/zero.sh * tests/local.mk: Reference the renamed tests
2013-09-22tests: parameterize the "root" usernamePádraig Brady
* tests/misc/chroot-credentials.sh: Don't assume uid 0 has the "root" name, nor any name for that matter.
2013-09-22id: support specifying the user by user IDPádraig Brady
* src/id.c (usage): Remove 'name' from the synopsis, implying that one can also specify by user ID. (main): Like chown(1), call parse_user_spec() to implement user name or ID lookup with appropriate precedence. * doc/coreutils.texi (id invocation): Mention that a user ID is supported and how '+' affects lookup order. * tests/misc/id-groups.sh: Remove test now subsumed into... * tests/misc/id-uid.sh: New test covering new interface. * tests/local.mk: Rename the test. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. Addresses http://bugs.gnu.org/15421
2013-09-22tests: avoid a failure when there isn't a name for all user IDsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/id-zero.sh: Don't check exit status when in -n mode. Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6196762
2013-09-21id: add -z, --zero optionBernhard Voelker
* src/group-list.h (print_group_list): Add a parameter for the delimiter of type char. * src/group-list.c (print_group_list): Likewise, and use it instead of a white space character to delimit the group entries. * src/groups.c (main): Pass white space character to print_group_list(). * src/id.c (longopts): Add array element for the new long option. (usage): Document the new option. While at it, fix the alignment of the descriptions to match that of HELP_OPTION_DESCRIPTION. (main): Define the bool flag opt_zero indicating the use of the 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 other texinfo documents. (groups invocation): Move @exitstatus down after the macro @primaryAndSupplementaryGroups here, too. * tests/misc/id-zero.sh: Add new test exercising the new option. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Reference it. * NEWS (New features): Mention the new option. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/9987
2013-08-02maint: update copyright year number ranges of numfmt sourcesBernhard Voelker
Run "make update-copyright". * src/numfmt.c: Update copyright year number range. This file has obviously been added to coreutils after and without the annual update. * tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Likewise.
2013-07-22maint: make some shell and perl scripts executable in 'tests/'Bernhard Voelker
Some newer test scripts - partially ones from me - are not executable. It does not seem to be a problem, but for consistency and to avoid future problems on unusual platforms or shells change the permissions by adding the executable bit. * cfg.mk (sc_tests_executable): Add new syntax-check rule to ensure that all test scripts are executable. * tests/df/df-output.sh: Change file mode from 644 to 755. * tests/du/threshold.sh: Likewise. * tests/factor/run.sh: Likewise. * tests/init.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/csplit-suppress-matched.pl: Likewise. * tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Likewise.
2013-07-11shuf: add --repetition to support repetition in outputAssaf Gordon
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.
2013-07-11tests: add more tests for shuf option combinationsAssaf Gordon
* test/misc/shuf.sh: Add tests for erroneous conditions like multiple '-o' and '--random-source'.
2013-07-05tests: fix "shuf unreadable" test to work when run as rootPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/shuf.sh: Restrict the test to the significant case where we can't in fact read the "unreadable" file.
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.
2013-06-02od: -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.
