2009-11-20maint: correct comments in test scriptsJim Meyering
* tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix spelling of cygwin1.dll in comment. * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Likewise. Reported by Eric Blake.
2009-11-19tests: avoid spurious failures due to insecure directory in PATHJim Meyering
These tests perform no PATH search, and used to simply delete PATH from the environment. However, that is not portable, as seen on Cygwin, where cygwin.dll must be resolvable via PATH when starting a sub-shell. With commit 0cc04241, we took the alternate approach of untainting the incoming $ENV{PATH}, but that fails when it contains an other-writable directory. Instead, now we hard code it to '/bin:/usr/bin'. * tests/misc/pwd-long: Hard code $ENV{PATH} to a safe value. * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Likewise. Reported by Gilles Espinasse, Andreas Schwab, and Bauke Jan Douma.
2009-11-16tail -F can fail to track a file after it's been rotatedJim Meyering
Tailing forever and by-name (--follow=name, -F), tail would sometimes fail to follow a file that had been removed via rename. If you can't apply this patch and have tail 7.6 or newer, you can work around the bug via the undocumented --disable-inotify option. * src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): When tailing by name (-F), do not un-watch a file upon receipt of the IN_MOVE_SELF event. Reported by Arjan Opmeer in http://bugs.debian.org/548439. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Also see http://marc.info/?l=coreutils-bug&m=125829031916515 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tail-2/inotify-rotate. * tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate: New test.
2009-11-14tests: help-version: exit nonzero when $built_programs is emptyJim Meyering
* tests/misc/help-version: Use "Exit 1", rather than "Exit $fail" with fail defined to 0 when $built_programs is empty.
2009-11-14tests: avoid a spurious failure on a loaded systemPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: This test could fail due to the 1-second timeout expiring before a command of "no_such" could be exec'd and fail. Increase to 10 seconds.
2009-11-13tests: avoid a spurious timeout on a heavily-loaded systemJim Meyering
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: This test would fail due to the 1-second timeout expiring before a command of "." could be exec'd and fail. Increase to 10 seconds.
2009-11-09ls: fix capability coloringPádraig Brady
Capability checking was incorrectly done on just the base name rather than on the whole path. Consequently there could be both false positives and negatives when coloring files with capabilities. Also capability checking was not done at all in certain cases for non executable files. Note passing absolute rather than relative names to cap_get_file() reduces the has_capability() overhead from around 33% to 30%. I.E. ls --color is now around 3% faster. * src/ls.c (struct fileinfo): Add a has_capability member. (print_color_indicator): Refactor to pass just a fileinfo pointer and a flag to say if we're dealing with a symlink target. (print_name_with_quoting): Likewise. (gobble_file): Set has_capability in the fileinfo struct. Also do a capability check even if executable coloring is disabled. Ditto for SETUID and SETUID coloring. Comment on how expensive has_capability() is. (print_long_format): Adjust to refactored print_name_with_quoting. (quote_name): Likewise. (print_file_name_and_frills): Likewise. * tests/ls/capability: Test the various false positive and negatives. * THANKS: Add reporter (Ivan Labath). * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2009-11-07mktemp: fix bug with -q and closed stdoutEric Blake
If stdin or stdout is closed, then freopen(,stderr) can violate the premise that STDERR_FILENO==fileno(stderr), which in turn breaks mktemp -q. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add freopen-safer. * src/mktemp.c (includes): Use stdio--.h. * tests/misc/close-stdout: Enhance test to catch bug.
2009-11-06nproc: A new program to count the available processorsGiuseppe Scrivano
* AUTHORS: Add my name. * NEWS: Mention it. * README: Likewise. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add nproc. * doc/coreutils.texi (nproc invocation): Add nproc info. * man/Makefile.am (nproc.1): Add dependency. * man/nproc.x: New template. * man/.gitignore: Ignore generated man page. * po/POTFILES.in: Add src/nproc.c. * src/.gitignore: Exclude nproc. * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Add nproc. * src/nproc.c: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/nproc-{avail,positive}. * tests/misc/nproc-avail: New file. * tests/misc/nproc-positive: New file.
2009-11-05mktemp: enhance test to catch just-fixed typo behaviorEric Blake
Penance for botching the conflict resolution while rebasing my series. * tests/misc/mktemp (check_tmp): Test for the bug when wrong parameter is used.
2009-11-05mktemp: add suffix handlingEric Blake
Now that mkstemps is supported, we might as well use it. * src/mktemp.c (TMPDIR_OPTION): New enum value. (longopts): Add new option. (usage): Document it. (count_trailing_X_s): Rename... (count_consecutive_X_s): ...to this, and add parameter. (mkstemp_len, mkdtemp_len): Add parameter. (main): Implement new option. (AUTHORS): Add myself. * AUTHORS (mktemp): Likewise. * tests/misc/mktemp: Test new option. * doc/coreutils.texi (mktemp invocation): Document it. * NEWS: Likewise. Fixes http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=548316.
2009-11-05tests: enhance mktemp testEric Blake
* tests/misc/mktemp: Add more coverage.
2009-11-05mktemp: don't leave file behind on write failureEric Blake
* src/mktemp.c (main): Remove just-created file if stdout had problems. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add remove. * tests/misc/close-stdout: Test it. * NEWS: Document it.
2009-11-03tests: rm: add test for today's change in behaviorJim Meyering
* tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Add rm/read-only to the list. * tests/rm/read-only: New file.
2009-11-03tests: inotify-race: don't let malfunctioning gdb hang the testJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/inotify-race: Apply timeout to each gdb invocation.
2009-10-30tests: factor 350 fail=0 initializations into test-lib.shJim Meyering
Run this command to remove the factored-out "fail=0" lines. perl -ni -e '/^fail=0$/ or print' $(g grep -l '^fail=0$') * tests/test-lib.sh: Initialize fail=0 here, not in 300+ scripts. * tests/...: nearly all bourne shell scripts Suggested by Eric Blake.
2009-10-30tests: remove the less-regular fail=0 assignments manuallyJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/assert-2: * tests/tail-2/assert: * tests/cp/file-perm-race: * tests/misc/df: * tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail:
2009-10-29tests: don't let a fail=1 env. setting induce unwarranted test failureJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_fail_is_initialized): New rule. Fix the offenders: * tests/cp/acl: Set fail=0 * tests/cp/backup-is-src: Likewise. * tests/cp/file-perm-race: Likewise. * tests/cp/reflink-auto: Likewise. * tests/cp/same-file: Likewise. * tests/ln/backup-1: Likewise. * tests/misc/su-fail: Likewise. * tests/misc/truncate-owned-by-other: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/selinux: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/special-1: Likewise. * tests/mv/acl: Likewise. * tests/mv/backup-is-src: Likewise. * tests/mv/diag: Likewise. * tests/mv/force: Likewise. * tests/mv/hard-link-1: Likewise. * tests/mv/into-self-3: Likewise. * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart: Likewise. * tests/touch/now-owned-by-other: Likewise.
2009-10-28nice, nohup, su: detect write failure to stderrEric Blake
These programs can print non-fatal diagnostics to stderr prior to exec'ing a subsidiary program. However, if we thought the situation warranted a diagnostic, we insist that the diagnostic be printed without error, rather than blindly exec, as it may be a security risk. For an example, try 'nice -n -1 nice 2>/dev/full'. Failure to raise priority (by lowering niceness) is not fatal, but failure to inform the user about failure to change priority is dangerous. * src/nice.c (main): Declare failure if writing advisory message to stderr fails. * src/nohup.c (main): Likewise. * src/su.c (main): Likewise. * tests/misc/nice: Test this. * tests/misc/nohup: Likewise. * NEWS: Document this.
2009-10-28echo, printf: interpret \e as the Escape characterPádraig Brady
Match gcc, perl, bash, ksh, tcsh, ... in supporting \e. * src/printf.c (print_escape_char): Output \x1B when \e encountered. * src/echo.c (main): Likewise. * src/stat.c (print_escape_char): Likewise. * doc/coreutils.texi (echo invocation): Add \e to the list. * tests/misc/printf: Verify that \e outputs \x1B. * NEWS: Mention the change in behaviour.
2009-10-28printenv: ignore bogus variable namesEric Blake
Exposed by env a=b=c printenv a=b. * src/printenv.c (main): Silently reject = in names. * tests/misc/printenv: Test for it. * NEWS: Document this.
2009-10-27env, printenv: add -0/--null optionEric Blake
Allows for unambiguous processing when environment values (or even non-portable names!) contain newline. * src/env.c (longopts): Add new option. (usage): Document it. (main): Implement it. * src/printenv.c (longopts): New variable. (usage): Document new option. (main): Implement it. * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): New macro optNull. (du invocation, env invocation, printenv invocation): Use it. * NEWS: Mention this. * tests/misc/env-null: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.
2009-10-27tests: add printenv coverageEric Blake
* tests/misc/printenv: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it. * .gitignore: Ignore more cruft.
2009-10-27tests: fix PATH problems on cygwinEric Blake
* tests/misc/sort-compress: Remove non-portable over-restriction of PATH; besides, commit 3ea177e changed sort to no longer default to gzip. * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Untaint, rather than clear, PATH. * tests/misc/pwd-long: Likewise. Also skip test if long path cannot be created. (normalize_to_cwd_relative): Use eq rather than ==, since cygwin perl doesn't properly handle 64-bit ino_t numerically.
2009-10-26tests: clean up tests of env -- handlingEric Blake
The comment in env.c about -- handling has not matched the behavior in the code since the initial commit back in 1992. * src/env.c: Fix bogus comment. * tests/misc/env: Further tweaks, avoiding PATH problems inherent in testing -i, and testing program name containing =. * doc/coreutils.texi (env invocation): Mention that intermediate program is needed to invoke program with name containing =.
2009-10-26doc: document PATH interactions with envEric Blake
* doc/coreutils.texi (env invocation): Mention that PATH is modified prior to exec. * tests/misc/env: Test this.
2009-10-26env: reject bogus -u argumentsEric Blake
* src/env.c (main): Use unsetenv rather than putenv to remove items from environ, and check for failure. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add unsetenv. * tests/misc/env: Test this. * NEWS: Document it.
2009-10-26tests: avoid file name not portable to cygwinEric Blake
* tests/misc/chroot-fail: Use 'no_such', not '...', since cygwin 1.5 silently strips trailing dots. * tests/misc/nice-fail: Likewise. * tests/misc/stdbuf: Likewise. * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Likewise.
2009-10-26tests: rm/one-file-system: work around umount failureJim Meyering
* tests/rm/one-file-system (cleanup_): Unmount a/b, rather than "$other_partition_tmpdir", to accommodate those who link /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts. Reported by Gilles Espinasse in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/18508
2009-10-26tests: adjust new env test not to failJim Meyering
* tests/misc/env: Create ./-i as a link to our "echo" binary, rather than as a bourne shell script, so that env can exec it. Set PATH to ".".
2009-10-26tests: nice: adjust new tests to work more portablyJim Meyering
* tests/misc/nice (tests): Accommodate a nice program for which "nice -n -1 nice" prints nothing. It should print -1 or (usually) 0. Otherwise, we'd get syntax errors.
2009-10-23tests: test recent status changesEric Blake
* tests/misc/nice: Enhance test. * tests/misc/chroot-fail: New test. * tests/misc/env: Likewise. * tests/misc/nice-fail: Likewise. * tests/misc/su-fail: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run new tests.
2009-10-23maint: move chroot testEric Blake
* tests/chroot/credentials: Move... * tests/misc/chroot-credentials: ...here, to reduce number of directories. * tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Reflect rename.
2009-10-23tests: enhance stdbuf and timeout testsEric Blake
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Validate exact exit status. * tests/misc/stdbuf: Likewise. * tests/misc/timeout: Likewise. Use require_built_. * tests/misc/arch: Likewise.
2009-10-23nohup: use EXIT_CANCELED if not POSIXLY_CORRECTEric Blake
* src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FAILURE): Rename... (POSIX_NOHUP_FAILURE): ...to this. (main): Pay attention to POSIXLY_CORRECT, to determine whether to use status 125 or 127. * doc/coreutils.texi (nohup invocation): Document this. * NEWS: Likewise. * tests/misc/invalid-opt (exit_status): Adjust expected results. * tests/misc/help-version (expected_failure_status): Likewise. * tests/misc/nohup: Likewise.
2009-10-23chroot, env, nice, su: use EXIT_CANCELED for internal failureEric Blake
* src/chroot.c (main): Use EXIT_CANCELED, not EXIT_FAILURE. * src/env.c (main): Likewise. * src/nice.c (main): Likewise. * src/su.c (change_identity, main): Likewise. * doc/coreutils.texi (chroot invocation, env invocation) (nice invocation, su invocation): Document this. * NEWS: Likewise. * tests/misc/invalid-opt (exit_status): Adjust expected results. * tests/misc/help-version (expected_failure_status): Likewise.
2009-10-23tests: accommodate BSD getoptEric Blake
* tests/misc/invalid-opt (err_subst): Support alternate spelling.
2009-10-22tests: add a test for the `tail -f' race condition bugGiuseppe Scrivano
If new data becomes available between the initial read and when tail registers the inotify watch descriptors, ensure that it is read before a new event happens on the file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tail-2/inotify-race. * tests/tail-2/inotify-race: New file.
2009-10-21tests: ensure touch honors trailing slashEric Blake
* tests/touch/trailing-slash: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.
2009-10-21md5sum, sha*sum, sum: line-buffer the printed checksumsPádraig Brady
* src/md5sum.c (main): Set stdout to line buffered mode to ensure parallel running instances don't intersperse their output. This adds 5% to the run time in the worst case of many zero length files, or 2% with standard file sizes. * src/sum.c (main): Likewise. * tests/misc/md5sum-parallel: New test for atomic output. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference it. * NEWS: Mention the fix
2009-10-17touch: add -h to change symlink timestamps, where supportedEric Blake
* src/touch.c (no_dereference): New flag variable. (longopts): Add -h/--no-dereference. (touch): Add symlink handling. (usage): Document new option. (main): Accept new option. * NEWS: Document it. * doc/coreutils.texi (touch invocation): Likewise. Also mention birthtime. * tests/touch/no-dereference: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.
2009-10-17tests: abmon-align: avoid test failureJim Meyering
* tests/ls/abmon-align: Don't remove (1d;) the first line of output. That was making the test consider only 11 of 12 month names. Rewrite not to use \(.*\), as that provoked a malfunction in GNU sed on powerpc Mac OS X (though we don't know yet whether this is due to a sed bug, or to miscompilation). Nelson Beebe reported the test failure.
2009-10-10copy: allow symlink timestamp preservation on more systemsEric Blake
* src/copy.c (utimens_symlink): Simplify by using lutimens. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Drop utimensat; gnulib does this for us. * tests/cp/preserve-slink-time: Recognize lutimes support.
2009-10-10tests: adjust tail-2/pid to work around FreeBSD 6.1 failureJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/pid: Run tail -f --pid=... on an actual file, not on /dev/null, to avoid this failure on FreeBSD 6.1: tail: /dev/null: cannot change nonblocking mode: Inappropriate ioctl for device
2009-10-08stat: test recent patchEric Blake
* tests/misc/stat-slash: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.
2009-10-07md5sum, sha*sum: also accept openssl checksum syntaxGuenter Knauf
* src/md5sum.c (split_3): Accept openssl checksum syntax, which differs only by two spaces from that of the bsd checksum tools: openssl: MD5(f)= d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e bsd: MD5 (f) = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
2009-10-02tail: avoid a race where we could miss new data with --pidPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (tail_forever, tail_forever_inotify): Close a race in tail_forever_inotify where new data written after the file check by a now dead process, but before the pid check, is not output. We use the POSIX guarantee that read() and write() are serialized wrt each other even in separate processes, to assume full file consistency after exit() and so poll for new data _after_ the writer has exited. This also allows us to not redundantly _wait_ for new data if the process is dead. * tests/tail-2/pid: Remove the now partially invalid sub second sleep check as we now don't unconditionally wait, and replace it with a check for the redundant sleep. Also clarify some of the existing comments. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2009-09-30tests: tail-2/pid: use a 3-second timeout, not 1Jim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/pid: When using the timeout program to ensuring that tail -s.1 --pid=$PID_T_MAX does not wait forever, use a timeout longer than 1 second. A 1-second timeout could be too short on a very busy system, and result in a timeout, and hence false-positive failure. 2009-09-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2009-09-30ls: always print "?" for allocated size of a dereferenced dangling symlinkPádraig Brady
Previously for `ls -Ls` (but not `ls -Lsl`), we referenced the st_blocks returned from the previous failed stat() call. This undefined value was seen to be 0 for dangling symlinks at least. * src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills, length_of_file_name_and_frills): Don't use st_blocks if the previous stat() failed * tests/ls/dangle: Add a test case * NEWS: Mention the fix, and roll up related items into a single entry.
2009-09-29stat: interpret "-" as standard inputJim Meyering
* src/stat.c (do_stat): Interpret a command line argument of "-" to mean "standard input", like many other tools do. (do_statfs): Fail upon any attempt to use "-". * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it. * tests/misc/stat-hyphen: New test, to exercise the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/stat-hyphen.
