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.
2012-02-13dd: fix issues in the count_bytes and seek_bytes flags changePádraig Brady
These edge cases were missed in the previous commit 140eca15c. * src/dd.c (main): Include the bytes slop when truncating without further I/O. Don't invalidate the whole file cache in the case where 0 < count < ibs. * tests/dd/bytes: Change to using the independent truncate command to generate the file for comparison. Remove a redundant test case and replace with one testing the truncation only logic.
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.
2012-01-27maint: use single copyright year rangeJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright".
2012-01-25maint: cleanup an extraneous version output in a testPádraig Brady
* test/misc/stdbuf: Fixup the minor copy & paste issue introduced in commit ff7f0ff8
2012-01-25maint: use the standard require_perl_ functionPádraig Brady
* tests/cp/sparse-fiemap: Don't use a separate check.
2012-01-25realpath: remove extraneous '/' for --relative-to edge casesPádraig Brady
* src/realpath.c (path_common_prefix): Be consistent and always include a leading '/' in the count returned. (relpath): Account for the change in path_common_prefix() and avoid outputting extra '/' chars in relative paths that span the root dir. * tests/misc/realpath: Add the two reported cases. Reported by Mike Frysinger
2012-01-23tests: remove crufty test=test_name code from old testsJim Meyering
Before init.sh and similar, we would set test=test_name, and then construct temporary file names using $test. Now that each init.sh-using test is in its own directory, that practice is unwelcome. Remove bad examples. * tests/rm/f-1: Per above. * tests/rm/i-1: Likewise. * tests/rm/interactive-always: Likewise. * tests/rm/interactive-once: Likewise. * tests/rm/ir-1: Likewise. * tests/rm/r-1: Likewise.
2012-01-22maint: quote 'like this' or "like this", not `like this'Paul Eggert
* doc/coreutils.texi (Formatting the file names): coreutils now quotes 'like this'. * man/help2man: * src/timeout.c (usage): Quote 'like this' in diagnostics. * HACKING, Makefile.am, NEWS, README, README-hacking, TODO, cfg.mk: * doc/Makefile.am, doc/coreutils.texi, m4/jm-macros.m4: * man/Makefile.am, man/help2man, src/Makefile.am, src/copy.h: * src/extract-magic, src/ls.c, src/pinky.c, src/pr.c, src/sort.c: * src/split.c, src/timeout.c, src/who.c, tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: * tests/pr/pr-tests: Quote 'like this' in commentary. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update due to changed old NEWS.
2012-01-09maint: adjust quoting: emit '...', not `...' in diagnosticsJim Meyering
* src/csplit.c (parse_repeat_count, extract_regexp): As above. * src/date.c (main): Likewise. * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Likewise. * src/od.c (decode_one_format, main): Likewise. * src/pathchk.c (no_leading_hyphen): Likewise. * src/pr.c (main, getoptarg): Likewise. * src/rm.c (diagnose_leading_hyphen): Likewise. * src/sort.c (key_warnings, incompatible_options, main): Likewise. * src/stat.c (print_esc_char): Print '\x', not `\x' in diagnostic. * src/test.c (main): Likewise. * src/touch.c (main): Likewise. * src/tr.c (build_spec_list, validate, append_range): Likewise. * tests/misc/mktemp: This is an unusual case, since the affected string contains only the ` of an `...' string. So we change the long ` to a lone '. * tests/pr/pr-tests: Manual quote adapting fix-up. * tests/ln/hard-to-sym: Likewise. * tests/split/suffix-length: Likewise. * tests/mv/part-fail: Likewise. * tests/misc/chcon: Likewise. * tests/misc/stat-printf: Likewise.
2012-01-09tests: more automated quote adjustmentJim Meyering
Relax initial regexp to match more instances, but add a filter to avoid some invalid conversions. Run this: git grep -l "\`[^']*'" tests | xargs perl -pi -e '$q=q"'\''";' \ -e '$q="$q\\$q$q"; /(= ?\`|\`expr|\`echo|\Q$q\E)/ and next;' \ -e ' s/\`([^'\''"]*?'\'')/'\''$1/g' The last disjunct in the above (...) filter is to exempt any line that contains this string: '\'' With quoting like that, converting a ` to ' is likely to cause trouble, so we'll handle those manually. Here are three examples where the exemption is required: *': `link-to-dir/'\'': hard link not allowed for directory'*) ;; printf 'creating file `%s'\''\n' $f 'mv: inter-device move failed: `%s'\'' to `%s'\'';'\
2012-01-09tests: change `...' to '...' on lines not matching /[=\$]/Jim Meyering
Exempt lines with '$' or '=', since those are prone to improper conversion. Run this: git grep -l "\`[^']*'" tests \ |xargs perl -pi -e '/[=\$]/ and next;s/\`([^'\''"]*?'\'')/'\''$1/g'
2012-01-09tests: adjust \`...' quoting to '...' to adapt to latest gnulibJim Meyering
Run this: git grep -l "\\\\\`[^']*'" tests \ |xargs perl -pi -e 's/\\\`(.*?'\'')/'\''$1/g
2012-01-07maint: update quoting of "Try `prog --help'" to "Try 'prog --help'"Jim Meyering
Automatically adjust both the source (now in only one place) and all tests that expect the resulting output via this: git grep -l 'Try.*--help' src/system.h tests \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/Try \\?`(\S+ --help)/Try '\''$1/'
2012-01-06tests: adjust quoting in expected output to match new gnulib policyJim Meyering
* tests/misc/xstrtol: Use '...' to match new quoting in most places. However, leave `9x' to match the sole comparison against output from the quote function, which still uses `...'. * tests/misc/sort-merge: Likewise, though here I had to leave `...'-quoted output to match output from four tests. * tests/pr/pr-tests: Convert a single `...' to '...'. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2012-01-05tests: avoid stty icanon issues on some platformsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/stty: Exclude 'icanon' for the list to check, as it's problematic on ppc*|sparc* platforms.
2012-01-05tests: avoid ulimit issue on bash 3.2 on OS XPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/sort-continue: Perform the glob before the ulimit, as it was seen to make the glob fail on bash 3.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 at least.
2012-01-05tests: avoid a false positive due to overflow on Linux/HPPAPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Verify that the timer doesn't fire immediately in the problematic range, and avoid overflow checks in that case. * man/timeout.x: Mention the possible bug. Reported by Bruno Haible
2012-01-05tests: adjust setfacl usage to accommodate Solaris 10Jim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_short_facl_mode_spec): New rule. * tests/cp/acl: Extend setfacl mode spec to have length 3. * tests/ls/slink-acl: Likewise. * tests/mv/acl: Likewise. Report and analysis by Bruno Haible.
2012-01-05split: avoid failure due to leftover 'errno' valueBruno Haible
* src/split.c (lines_chunk_split): Fix logic bug that led to unwarranted failure of "split -n l/2 /dev/zero" on NetBSD 5.1. The same would happen when splitting a growing file, where open/lseek-end gives one size, but by the time we read, there is more data available. (bytes_chunk_extract): Likewise. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this. * tests/split/l-chunk: The latter case was not exercised. Add code to do that. Bug introduced with the chunk-selecting feature in v8.7-25-gbe10739. Co-authored-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2012-01-03tests: adjust realpath test to avoid "make distcheck" failureJim Meyering
* tests/misc/realpath: Quote lhs of test ... = ..., so that when $PWD contains a space (like it does via "make distcheck"), the test does not fail
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.
2012-01-01tests: also print chmod's --versionJim Meyering
* tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM: This test also exercises chmod.
2012-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright".
2012-01-01tests: change copyright year from 2011 to 2012 in sample-testJim Meyering
This file is special. We don't want to use a range, but merely the current year number. * tests/sample-test: s/2011/2012/
2011-12-31tests: fix a missing-dependency problemJim Meyering
* tests/check.mk (.built-programs): Depend on src/Makefile.am, so that when we add a program, this file is updated, and the new program is tested via misc/help-version. Spotted by Pádraig Brady.
2011-12-28tests: also unset _STDBUF_E, _STDBUF_I and _STDBUF_OJim Meyering
* tests/envvar-check (vars): Add these to the list of envvars we ignore: _STDBUF_E, _STDBUF_I, _STDBUF_O, used by libstdbuf.
2011-12-14du: -x should not count files in other file systemsPaul Eggert
This fixes Bug#10293, which I guess was introduced in commit 95c948b06a dated 2003-10-02. * NEWS: Document fix. * src/du.c (process_file): Don't count files in different file systems if -x is given. * tests/du/one-file-system: Test for this bug.
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.
2011-12-01tests: adjust PATH to generally include /sbin and /usr/sbinBernhard Voelker
Commit 5eeaca94 added /sbin to the PATH for tests using mkfs. For other tests, e.g. tests/cp-fiemap-perf using filefrag, we need /usr/sbin also. Add both directories generally for the tests, "since many of us always augment our PATH with all of the sbin paths all of the time anyway" (Bob in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2011-11/msg00107.html). The previous commit is hereby obsolete. * tests/init.cfg (sanitize_path_): Add /sbin and /usr/sbin to PATH unless already included. Needed for tests using admin tools like mkfs and filefrag on systems where the user's environment does not have these directories in the PATH. * tests/init.cfg (require_mkfs_PATH_): Remove obsolete function. * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Remove require_mkfs_PATH_ call. * tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Likewise. * tests/cp/sparse-fiemap: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/writable-under-readonly: Likewise. * tests/rm/read-only: Likewise.
2011-11-29build: update gnulib for syntax-check improvementEric Blake
Commit 5b3e538 proved useful enough to migrate to gnulib after enhancing it to be more generic, which in turn pointed out that commit a2c811db missed an offender. * gnulib: Update to latest. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_reversed_compare_failure): Delete, now that gnulib provides it. * tests/ls/dangle: Fix last offender.
2011-11-23build: update gnulib and tests/init.shJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update. * tests/init.sh: Update from gnulib.
2011-11-22tests: use "compare exp out", not "compare out exp"Jim Meyering
Likewise, when an empty file is expected, use "compare /dev/null out", not "compare out /dev/null". I.e., specify the expected/desired contents via the first file name. Prompted by a suggestion from Bruno Haible in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.grep.bugs/4020/focus=29154 Run these commands: git grep -l -E 'compare [^ ]+ exp' \ |xargs perl -pi -e 's/(compare) (\S+) (exp\S*)/$1 $3 $2/' git grep -l -E 'compare [^ ]+ /dev/null' \ |xargs perl -pi -e 's/(compare) (\S+) (\/dev\/null)/$1 $3 $2/' * tests/chgrp/no-x: As above. * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise. *

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.
2011-11-13tests: avoid rare fp failure in du/move-dir-while-traversingNix
* tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing: Boost the mkdir iteration count yet again.
2011-11-12* tests/misc/sort-continue: Port to Fedora 15.Paul Eggert
Redirect with the shell command, not in a separate 'exec'. Without this patch, Fedora 15 x86-64 /bin/sh (i.e., Bash 4.2.10) complained about running out of file descriptors in the shell.
2011-11-12* tests/ls/block-size: Make it executable.Paul Eggert
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.
2011-11-03tests: avoid signal issues in timeout-groupPádraig Brady
These issues were seen on an OpenSuse 10.3 system (kernel 2.6.22.5 x86_64, glibc 2.6.1-18, bash updated to 4.2), and also on a 64 bit SLES system with a 2.6.16 kernel. Both systems had 2 CPUs. There were two issues seen. 1. Occasionally the timeout.cmd shell script would block SIGINT until the sleep command exited. 2. Much less frequently the signal handler in the timeout command itself was ignored, causing SIGALRM to kill the process. * tests/misc/timeout-group: Detect the above two cases, and skip rather than fail. Note only issue 2. causes a failure unless skipped, but we skip for case 1. also, for diagnostic purposes.
2011-11-03tests: fix a race in timeout-groupPádraig Brady
This could cause a false failure, or even an infinite loop in rare circumstances. * tests/misc/timeout-group: Increase the timeouts passed to the timeout command, so that they're effectively not used. Instead the command termination is triggered by the kill commands when everything is in the correct state. Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
2011-10-30tests: doc: fix stale comment in new rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOMJim Meyering
2011-10-29tests: don't make tail's pipe-f2 test take the full 10 secondsJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/pipe-f2: Don't always wait 10 seconds. Before, this test would always wait 10 seconds. Now, it stops early when it detects that tail -f has written output. BTW, the race condition that prompted changing the timeout from 1 second to 10 was that tail -f could be killed by the timeout before producing any output.
2011-10-19maint: tac: prefer "failed to" diagnostic over "cannot"Jim Meyering
* src/tac.c: Change wording in diagnostic: "failed to open" seems clearer than "cannot open".
2011-10-17tac: don't misbehave with multiple non-seekable inputsJim Meyering
* src/tac.c (copy_to_temp): Do not reuse the template buffer. Instead, scribble only on a freshly-xstrdup'd copy each time. Free that buffer both here, upon failure, and ... (tac_nonseekable): ...free the buffer in caller, upon success. * tests/misc/tac-2-nonseekable: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Ambrose Feinstein in http://debbugs.gnu.org/9762.
2011-10-17maint: speed up make check (vc_exe_in_TESTS)Pádraig Brady
* tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): The main change is to not start a sed process for each file under tests/, which was taking around 2.5s on a 2.1GHz i3-2310M. Also adjust the rule to no longer use temporary files.
2011-10-12tests: avoid a false failure on systems without inotifyPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/follow-name: Exclude the inotify warning from the comparison. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2011-10-09tests: skip rather than failing when perl is not availableJim Meyering
* tests/df/total-verify: Use require_perl_, so that this test is skipped when perl is not available. * tests/rm/deep-2: Likewise, and fix wording in a comment. Reported by Bruno Haible.
