# 267654 19-Jun-2014 gjb

Copy stable/9 to releng/9.3 as part of the 9.3-RELEASE cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation

# 248337 15-Mar-2013 brooks

MFC all features as of r248336:

The user visable feature is from r246083:

Add -l option to cat(1). This option causes cat(1) to use fcntl(2) to
set an exclusive advisory lock on stdout. This will be used to guarantee
orderly writing to METALOG.

# 240408 12-Sep-2012 jh

MFC r238653: Use proper error message when fstat(2) fails on stdout.

PR: bin/159746


# 240407 12-Sep-2012 jh

MFC r238652: style(9).


# 225736 22-Sep-2011 kensmith

Copy head to stable/9 as part of 9.0-RELEASE release cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)


# 184471 30-Oct-2008 ivoras

Teach cat(1) and cp(1) to use a larger buffer if enough memory is present
in the system. A simple heuristics is used to detect what is "enough"
memory: if number of physmem pages is greater than 32k (equalling 128 MB
on machines with 4 kB pages).

Typical immediate result of these changes is reduction in context switches
and the goal is to increase efficiency by using large buffers:
before: /usr/bin/time -hlp cat file1 > file2
...
163 voluntary context switches
11194 involuntary context switches
after: /usr/bin/time -hlp ./cat file1 > file2
...
417 voluntary context switches
272 involuntary context switches

# 139969 10-Jan-2005 imp

/*- or .\"- or #- to begin license clauses.


# 132433 20-Jul-2004 tjr

Use warn() instead of perror().


# 127958 06-Apr-2004 markm

Remove clause 3 from the UCB licenses.

OK'ed by: imp, core


# 114301 30-Apr-2003 obrien

We have to hide copyright[] for gcc33. :-(


# 105781 23-Oct-2002 markm

Be consistent about declaring a function "static", and consistent
about the type of argv.


# 101092 31-Jul-2002 markm

Give lint a small bit of help.


# 99109 30-Jun-2002 obrien

Consistently use __FBSDID


# 99022 29-Jun-2002 tjr

Avoid truncating the pathname to UNIX Domain Sockets with snprintf(),
giving a more sensible warning when the (relatively meagre) sun_path
limit is exceeded.


# 98216 14-Jun-2002 jmallett

Use an usage() rather than doing the fprintf inside option parsing.


# 98169 13-Jun-2002 tjr

Print the "$" symbol on blank lines when the -s and -e options are used
together.

Obtained from: OpenBSD (millert, Denis Afonin)


# 98168 13-Jun-2002 tjr

Remove bogus "-" operand from usage message. There is no restriction on
where it may be placed, it is treated the same as the file arguments.


# 91079 22-Feb-2002 markm

Fix warnings inspired by lint, a commercial lint and WARNS=4.


# 90106 02-Feb-2002 imp

Drag cat(1) kicking and screaming into the late 1980's:

o __P has been reoved
o Old-style K&R declarations have been converted to new C89 style
o register has been removed
o prototype for main() has been removed (gcc3 makes it an error)
o int main(int argc, char *argv[]) is the preferred main definition.
o Attempt to not break style(9) conformance for declarations more than
they already are.

Approved by: arch@, new style(9)


# 83962 26-Sep-2001 ru

WARNSify.


# 83961 26-Sep-2001 ru

The "cat - -" feature was broken by the last commit.
Restore the code that avoided closing and reopening
stdin. This is also required by POSIX. As a bonus,
enable multiple stdin reads with the -benstv flags,
by resetting the EOF condition on stdin.


# 83482 14-Sep-2001 dillon

Give /bin/cat the ability to connect to and read unix-domain sockets

MFC after: 1 week


# 78732 24-Jun-2001 dd

Include missing header files which define functions for which gcc has
builtins (e.g., exit, strcmp).


# 59239 14-Apr-2000 asmodai

Sync us up to OpenBSD's cat.1 v1.18 and cat.c v1.9.

This gets rid of a bogus cast of NULL in setbuf().
Lets us know the buffer malloc failed.

Reworks the manpage a bit to make it more mdoc(7) compliant, adds
examples.


# 50471 27-Aug-1999 peter

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 39138 13-Sep-1998 imp

Fix minor style bugs noticed by the Bruce Filter.[tm]

Bruce-Filter-By: bde


# 39065 11-Sep-1998 imp

Silence -Wall -W -Wkitchen-sink. Use ssize_t in preference to int,
make a char * const that should have been. Use new style function
declaration for main. Mostly a Bruce Filter[tm] test commit.


# 36000 13-May-1998 charnier

Restore Lite2 sccsids by removing `const'. Improve documentation a little.
Suggested by: Bruce


# 35772 06-May-1998 charnier

Correct use of .Nm, .An and other cosmetics. Add rcsid. Remove unused #inc.


# 24348 28-Mar-1997 imp

compare return value from getopt against -1 rather than EOF, per the final
posix standard on the topic.


# 22988 22-Feb-1997 peter

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.


# 20412 14-Dec-1996 steve

Merge Lite2 mods and -Wall cleaning.


# 18578 30-Sep-1996 ache

Activate LC_CTYPE locale and additionly use !isprint() for 8bit characters


# 18546 28-Sep-1996 imp

Merge in the NetBSD changes to cat.c. These appear to have come from
the 4.4 lite 2 tape as well. There are now only two diffs between
NetBSD's cat and FreeBSD's cat:
getopt return value is -1 on NetBSD and EOF on FreeBSD.
NetBSD has added setlocale calls before anything else.


# 11145 03-Oct-1995 bde

Fix exit status. `cat no-such-file >/dev/null' exited with status 0.
This has been broken since cat's own err() function was sloppily
replaced by the library functions warn() and err().


# 3044 24-Sep-1994 dg

Added $Id$
