2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
(sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
(syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
* .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
* Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
* cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
* src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
| O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
(is_empty_dir): Likewise.
* src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
write error diagnostic.
2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
* src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
* tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
e.g., on a named pipe.
(OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
Add POSIX ACL support
* src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
* src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
* src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
* src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
umask_kill.
(copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
(chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
did a chown before or not.
* src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
* src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
(OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
(fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
(fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
(rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
(rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
diagnostic.
2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
* tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
* NEWS: Mention this.
* src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
(PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
(interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
(usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
(print_esc_char): New function.
(print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
(main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
* tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
* src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
New functions.
(main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
"sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
* tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
New tests.
* src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
improvements carefully.
* .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
* src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
* src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
(shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
(EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
* src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
Omit functions that are specific to shred.
(ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
(isaac_step, struct irand_state):
Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
(ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
(isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
static again.
(struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
(isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
(irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
Number of words is constant again.
(struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
* src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
* src/sort.c: Likewise.
* src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
(struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
from rand-isaac.c.
* src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
(struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
with the other member names. All uses changed.
(usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
(short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
(rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
(HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
(get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
(keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
Add a FIXME.
(badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
(main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
* src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
* NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
* src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
* src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
* src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
type to conform with convention.
(main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
(keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
causing `make distcheck' to fail.
* src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
* tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
* src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).

(usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
shuffle.
Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.

2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.

* Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
distribute a copy of this script.
* .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
* tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
to create a temporary directory on another partition.
From Andreas Gruenbacher.
2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
* man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.

(copy_reg): Use them.
(copy_internal): Use them here, too.
2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
* src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
where it's used.
2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
Problem reported by Eric Blake.
* src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
* src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
* tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
* tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
* tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
* tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
* src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
(usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
* src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
* tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
* .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
ext3 file system to itself).
Include "buffer-lcm.h".
(copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
(which is unwise with large block sizes).
Declare locals more locally, if possible.
Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
and group.
2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
* tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
`cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
new version of rm.
* tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
even after certain types of failure.
* src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
* NEWS: Mention this.
* configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
emacs function that updates them works properly.
2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
Problem reported by Eric Blake.
(AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
(AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
(rm_1): Likewise.
* tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
patches are committed.
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.

* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.

2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
* src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
(do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
* Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
* Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
* Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
* .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
(FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
(do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
(main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
the use of alloca.
2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:

`M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
* tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
* tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
* src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
(without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.

back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
compatibility.
2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
* src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
have prevented the above-fixed bug.

identical to the one in unexpand.c.
* src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function

no longer confident that the m4/stdbool.m4 patch suffices.
2005-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Undo previous change, since
today's change to m4/stdbool.m4 should catch it.

Do not pass "-" to futimens; pass NULL instead.
If close (STDIN_FILENO) fails, report the error separately instead
of letting the 'close' pollute errno.
* tests/touch/empty-file: Test "touch -" too.
* tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
* tests/touch/read-only: Likewise.
2005-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/touch/read-only: New test, for root of chmod/usage failure.
* tests/touch/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add read-only.
Work around the root cause of alpha-linux-1.sf.net test failure.
* tests/chmod/usage: Remove *all* files before each inner loop
iteration. Otherwise, with a touch program that fails on unwritable
files, (this happens at least on linux-2.2.20) a -w file left behind
from a previous iteration could cause a spurious test failure.
2005-09-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* tests/chmod/usage: Undo the s/files/file/ change, but add
comments about why the old version was desired.
2005-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/ls-2/tests (setuid-etc): Work around output mismatch when
a just-created test file cannot be made set-group-ID.
Avoid test failures on alpha-linux-1.sf.net.
* tests/chmod/usage: Use newer trap and tmpdir-creation framework.
Fix apparent typos (s/files/file/) in inner loop.
2005-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: "touch -" now touches standard output.
* src/touch.c (touch): Implement this.
(usage): Document this.
* src/copy.c (HAVE_FCHMOD, HAVE_FCHOWN): Define to 0 if not defined.
(copy_reg): New args CHOWN_SUCCEDED and DST_SB. All callers changed.
Add a "goto close_src_and_dst_desc;" that was missing in the
previous patch.
(copy_reg) [HAVE_FCHOWN]: Prefer fchown to chown.
(copy_reg) [HAVE_FCHMOD]: Prefer fchmod to chmod.
(copy_internal): Don't invoke chown if fchown worked,
and likewise for chmod and fchmod.
2005-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/shred.c: Use `#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H', not `#if HAVE_CONFIG_H',
for consistency with gnulib.
* src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
* Makefile.maint (sc_no_if_have_config_h): New rule.
(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
.x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: New file.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
* tests/seq/basic (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Disable these tests for now.
They fail with non-gcc compilers and some combinations
of options and libraries on Solaris systems.
* tests/misc/date (uninit-64): Restore this test.
Add start-up code to detect, and work around, the cases in
which the test might fail.
2005-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* tests/misc/date (uninit-64): Remove this test. It wasn't
portable in theory (it doesn't work on hosts where 'int' is 64
bits, example) or in practice (Solaris 8 localtime returns garbage
in tm_year for the specified date, but that's not coreutils's
fault).
2005-09-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Preserve time stamps if
x->preserve_timestamps is set, using futimens so that
we needn't resolve the path again.
(copy_internal): Don't preserve time stamps if copy_reg did it
already.
* src/install.c (change_timestamps): First arg is source
struct stat, not file name. All uses changed.
(install_file_in_file): Stat the source file.
Don't try to change time stamps if copy_file did it.
* src/system.h: Don't include utime.h; not needed.
(struct utimbuf) [!defined HAVE_STRUCT_UTIMBUF]: Remove; not needed.
2005-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/od.c: Use `verify' to ensure that our hard-coded
bytes_to_*_digits arrays are long enough. Of course, 17+-byte
integral types aren't on the near horizon, but just in case...
(MAX_INTEGRAL_TYPE_SIZE): Move definition to precede new first use.
(bytes_to_oct_digits, bytes_to_signed_dec_digits):
(bytes_to_unsigned_dec_digits, bytes_to_hex_digits): Change base
type from `char' to the clearer `unsigned int'.
2005-09-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/rmdir.c (EEXIST, ENOTEMPTY): Remove unused macros.
Sync from gnulib.
* src/dircolors.c: Include strcase.h.
* src/pinky.c: Include canon-host.h rather than declaring
canon_host ourselves.
* src/who.c: Likewise.
* src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC): Moved here from
../lib/xalloc.h, with args properly parenthesized, and using
verify_expr rather than the old VERIFY_EXPR.
2005-09-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/install/basic-1: Require that this test be run as non-root.
Otherwise, it fails due to the fact that the chmod 0 . doesn't
affect root.
2005-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Change comment to
agree with the code.
2005-09-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/remove.c (remove_dir): Return RM_ERROR, not `1',
when attempting to remove `/' with --preserve-root.
* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Syntactic tweak: move an
assignment out of an if-expression.
2005-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/extract-magic (usage): Request that additions be sent to
bug-coreutils@gnu.org, too.
2005-09-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/misc/date (rfc822-1): Compensate for Solaris 5.9's /bin/sh,
which emits a diagnostic to stderr when this test's LC_ALL=de_DE
setting cannot be honored.
* tests/misc/date (subfmt-up1): Put quotes around format string
to protect `^' from interpretation by some shells.
Add a use of OUT_SUBST to compensate for Solaris strftime's slightly
different formatting of %c.
* src/dd.c (main): When failing to truncate, mention both the seek
block count and the block size, in case the block size is very large.
Now `make distcheck' should pass, once again.
2005-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/copy.c: Include stat-time.h.
(copy_internal): Use its functions instead of the obsolete
TIMESPEC_NS macro.
* src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
* src/date.c (main): Likewise.
* src/du.c (struct duinfo, duinfo_init, duinfo_set, duinfo_add):
(show_date, print_size, process_file): Likewise.
* src/install.c (change_timestamps): Likewise.
* src/ls.c (cmp_ctime, cmp_mtime, cmp_atime, print_long_format):
Likewise.
* src/pr.c (init_header): Likewise.
* src/stat.c (human_time, print_stat): Likewise.
* src/tail.c (record_open_fd, tail_forever): Likewise.
* src/test.c (get_mtime, binary_operator): Likewise.
* src/touch.c (touch, main): Likewise.
* src/test.c (get_mtime): Renamed from age_of. All uses changed.
2005-09-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Date no longer needs to allocate virtual memory to do its job,
so it can no longer fail due to an out-of-memory condition.
* src/date.c: Include fprintftime.h.
Don't include strftime.h or xanstrftime.h -- no longer needed.
(show_date): Use new fprintftime function rather than xanstrftime.
Correct comment: this function no longer handles a NULL format string.
* src/du.c: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention this.
* tests/misc/date (subfmt-up1): Test the combination of the
to-upper-case modifier (^) and a conversion specifier that
expands to a string containing lower case characters.
2005-09-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: uname -a no longer generates the -p and -i outputs if they
are unknown.
* src/uname.c (usage): Document this.
(main): Implement this.
2005-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/misc/date (tz-5w, tz-5wf): Test new %:z format with
a field width.
2005-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/dd.c: Detect some very unlikely buffer overflows.
(INPUT_BLOCK_SLOP, OUTPUT_BLOCK_SLOP): New macros.
(MAX_BLOCKSIZE): Now accepts an arg. All uses changed.
(page_size): New var.
(scanargs, skip, main): Use more-straightforward way to detect overflow.
(dd_copy): Use page_size rather than invoking getpagesize.
Use INPUT_BLOCK_SLOP, OUTPUT_BLOCK_SLOP.
(main): Set page_size.
Avoid a call to stat in the usual case where ftruncate succeeds.
* src/expr.c (docolon): Add IF_LINT check to avoid GCC warning.
* configure.ac: Don't invoke AC_CONFIGURE_HOST directly; AB_INIT
does it for us, and our invocation evokes a diagnostic from
Autoconf 2.59.
* NEWS: date has a new --rfc-3339 option, and the old --iso-8601
option is deprecated. date, du, ls, and pr also have new time format
specifiers %:z, %::z, %:::z.
* src/date.c (TIME_SPEC_DATE): No longer needs to be nonzero, so
remove the "=1".
(TIME_SPEC_HOURS, TIME_SPEC_MINUTES): Must be at end now, so put
them there.
(time_spec_string, time_spec): Hours and minutes must be at
start now, so put them there.
(rfc_2822_format): Now a string constant, not a boolean. All uses
changed.
(iso_8601_format, rfc_format): Remove.
(RFC_3339_OPTION): New constant.
(long_options): Add --rfc-3339.
(usage): Add --rfc-3339. Don't mention --iso-8601.
Mention %:z, %::z, %:::z.
(main): Simplify calculation of 'format'; it was getting too hairy
to follow. Add --rfc-3339.
(show_date): Assume format arg is not NULL, which is the case
now. The default code is moved to 'main'. This simplifies things
and allows the default to be calculated just once.
* tests/misc/date: Add tests for --rfc-3339, %:z, %::z, %:::z.
