2002-11-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* coreutils.texi (printf invocation): Fix typo in index:
change \0x prefix to \x.
Change \xhhh to \xhh.
2002-10-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
Add support for locale-specific size indications (e.g.,
thousands-separators) and for explicit size suffixes on output.
* coreutils.texi (Block size): Say that:
This affects display format as well as block size.
Fractional block counts are rounded up.
ls file size blocksize defaults to 1.
A block size spec preceded by ' generates thousands separators.
A suffix without a preceding integer generates suffixes.
(tail invocation): 32k -> 32 KiB.
(What information is listed): ls -h is now equivalent to
ls --block-size=human, and ls -H is now equivalent to
ls --block-size=si. Displayed file size is now always affected by
--block-size.
2002-09-13 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (tail invocation): In --sleep-interval=NUMBER,
NUMBER may now be a floating point number.
(stat invocation): Remove references to now-removed %S and %C.
(Time directives) [%S]: Explain why the range is [0..60].
2002-08-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi [START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY]: Don't use sc{} on LHS.
Fix typo: s/permission/permissions/. From Michail Litvak.
2002-08-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi (uniq invocation): uniq now obeys LC_COLLATE.
2002-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi (nohup invocation): Change behavior to conform to
POSIX 1003.1-2001:
- Do not adjust scheduling priority.
- Redirects stderr to stdout, if stderr is not a terminal.
- Exit status is now 126 if command was found but not invoked,
127 if nohup failed or if command was not found.
2002-07-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (Time directives): Document %P, %R, %e, %F,
%g, %G, and %V
2002-07-22 Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com>
* coreutils.texi (Formatting the file names): Document
that -N/--literal are equivalent to --quoting-style=literal.
Reported by Oskar Liljeblad as Debian bug#103612.
2002-07-10 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (du invocation): s/PAT/PATTERN/.
From Martin Michlmayr.
2002-07-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Remove unnecessary "$@" in example;
Texinfo would render the @" as an umlaut over the following character.
From Paul Eggert.
* Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Check for the above.
2002-07-06 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Remove description of --secure.
2002-07-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Rename --link/-l
to --dereference/-L. Rewrite description of --dereference.
2002-06-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi (Putting the tools together): Don't mention egrep,
since it's not part of POSIX 1003.1-2001.
2002-06-21 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (stat invocation): New section. From Michael Meskes.
2002-05-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Document new option: --author.
2002-06-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (rm invocation): Add the warning (also in the --help
output) that the contents of a removed file are often recoverable.
2002-05-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Adapt to reflect that now we use
@acronym{POSIX}.
2002-05-26 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi: Use @acronym in place of most uses of @sc.
* getdate.texi (Date input formats): Likewise.
2002-04-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi: Change `@code{PROG}' to `@command{PROG}'.
2002-04-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi (kill invocation): Document the above.
Document POSIX signals better.
2002-04-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi: Document kill.
Written by Marcus Brinkmann.
2002-04-13 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi: Document link and unlink.
2002-04-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi: Use new directives, @copying and @insertcopying,
thus now requiring texinfo-4.2 to create the .info file.
2002-02-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi (File characteristic tests): Document the
behavior of test -nt and -ot when one of the files does not exist,
using the same behavior that is documented in ksh93.
2002-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Say that selected input is
written in the same order that it is read, and is written
exactly once.
2002-03-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
Make cp -r equivalent to cp -R. Add a new cp option --copy-contents
for people who want to emulate the traditional (and rarely desirable)
cp -r behavior.
* coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document this.
Fix some related minor bugs: --no-dereference is no longer
equivalent to -d, and --archive (-a) can override the other
symlink options. Warn that cp -R is not portable on symbolic
links unless you also specify -P.
2002-03-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document that cp -r
preserves symlinks. Emphasize non-portability of cp -r.
2002-02-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi (Time directives): Add %N for nanoseconds.
This documents the recent change to 'ls'.
2002-02-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Reword to avoid using `:'
in an @opindex entry -- info doesn't permit it.
2002-02-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi (Formatting file timestamps): Document new
time-formatting method: --time-style=+FORMAT.
2002-02-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi (seq invocation): In the example, use "tail
-n 3", not "tail -3", to conform to POSIX 1003.1-2001.
2002-02-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (tsort background): New section.
From Ian Lance Taylor.
(tsort invocation): Add a more realistic example.
2002-02-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi: Document _POSIX2_VERSION.
(Standards Conformance): New section.
2002-01-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY): Remove a few entries
and clean up a few others based on suggestions from Bob Proulx.
2002-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
Add support for POSIX 1003.1-2001, which requires removal for
support of obsolete "+" option syntax in sort, tail, and uniq.
* coreutils.texi: Document this. (Also, document a similar
change to "touch", for fileutils).
2002-01-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (shred invocation): List some journaled filesystems.
2001-11-10 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>

* coreutils.texi (paste invocation): Give examples.
Thanks to Dan Jacobson for suggesting the examples.
2001-11-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Recommend setting LC_ALL=C,
not LC_COLLATE=C. Explain how the latter can cause problems.
Based on a message from Paul Eggert.
(ls invocation): Recommend setting LC_ALL=C, not LC_COLLATE=C.
2001-10-21 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe --reply=...
2001-10-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (cp invocation): `cp --no-dereference' is
no longer equivalent to `cp -d'.
`cp -d' is equivalent to `--no-dereference --preserve=links'.
cp's -P option means --no-dereference, not --parents.
Describe new optional argument to --preserve.
Describe new option: --no-preserve=ATTRIBUTE_LIST.
2001-09-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Redirect stderr of `grep -w' to
/dev/null, so people with old versions of grep don't see the failure.
2001-09-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (mv invocation): Describe new option:
--reply={yes,no,query}. Fix a few typos.
2001-09-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi (uniq invocation): The input need not
be sorted. Try to clarify -d versus -D versus -u.
2001-09-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Document new option: -F.
From Herbert Xu.
2001-09-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi (join invocation): Describe the GNU
extension to join, which does not require sorted input when
the input contains no unpairable lines.
2001-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* coreutils.texi:
New 'uname' options -i or --hardware-platform,
and -o or --operating-system.
'uname -a' now outputs -i and -o information at the end.
New uname option --kernel-version is an alias for -v.
Uname option --release has been renamed to --kernel-release,
and --sysname has been renamed to --kernel-name;
the old options will work for a while, but are no longer documented.
2001-08-24 Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Document how cut treats lines
with no separators.
2001-06-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

does when given no arguments.
2001-05-21 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
