2015-01-20tests: use returns_ function for new split testBernhard Voelker
* tests/split/record-sep.sh: Use the recently added returns_ function to simplify the shell syntax in this test. Also remove the redirection of stdout/stderr to /dev/null as this eases analyzing errors.
2015-01-19split: new -t option to select record separatorAssaf Gordon
* src/split.c (eolchar): A new variable to hold the separator character (unibyte for now). This is reference throughout rather than hardcoding '\n'. (usage): Describe the new --separator option, and mention records along with lines so there is no ambiguity that all options treat lines and records equivalently. (main): Have -t update eolchar, or default to '\n'. * tests/split/record-sep.sh: New test case. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Document the new option. Adjust --lines, --line-bytes, --number=[lr]/... to mention they pertain to records if --separator is specified. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
