12005-12-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2
3	* Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
4	(sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
5	(syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
6	* .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
7	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
8
9	* Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
10
11	* cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
12	Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
13
142005-12-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
15
16	* src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
17	Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
18	* src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
19	| O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
20	Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
21	(is_empty_dir): Likewise.
22	* src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.  Don't bother trying to open
23	dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
24
252005-12-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
26
27	* tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
28	write error diagnostic.
29
302005-12-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
31
32	* src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
33	Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
34	open, fchown, and close rather than just chown.  To do that reliably --
35	even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
36	mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
37	* src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
38	the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
39	* tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
40	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
41
422005-12-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
43
44	* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
45	e.g., on a named pipe.
46	(OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition.  Use O_NOFOLLOW in
47	place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
48
492005-12-05  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>
50
51	Add POSIX ACL support
52	* src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
53	is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
54	on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
55	* src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
56	* src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
57	applied.  Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
58	the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
59	* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
60	* src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
61	umask_kill.
62	(copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
63	instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
64	(chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
65	preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
66	did a chown before or not.
67	* src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
68	* src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
69	mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
70	to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
71
722005-12-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
73
74	* src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
75	(OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
76	(fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
77	value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
78	(fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
79	pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value.  All callers changed.
80	(rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
81	ORing it into the caller's.  Just set the caller's.
82	(rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
83	diagnostic.
84
852005-12-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
86
87	* src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
88	end of a --printf format string.  Reported by Paul Eggert.
89	* tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
90
912005-12-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
92
93	* tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
94	Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
95
962005-12-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
97
98	stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
99	stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
100	* NEWS: Mention this.
101	* src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
102	(PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
103	(interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
104	(usage): Document them.  Alphabetize on long option names.
105	(print_esc_char): New function.
106	(print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
107	(main): Handle new option.  Set globals for --format, too.
108
109	* tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
110	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
111
1122005-12-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
113
114	* NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
115	* src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
116	New functions.
117	(main): Use them.  Don't bother with a usage message for
118	"sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
119	* tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
120	New tests.
121
122	* src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change.  close_stdout already
123	does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
124
1252005-12-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
126
127	* src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
128
1292005-12-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
130
131	Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R.  It's the
132	same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
133	approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
134	This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
135	little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
136	better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
137	improvements carefully.
138	* .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
139	* src/rand-isaac.h: Remove.  All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
140	* src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
141	(shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
142	(EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
143	* src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
144	changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
145	Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
146	compiling it and linking to it.  Don't include config.h or
147	system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
148	Omit functions that are specific to shred.
149	(ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
150	(isaac_step, struct irand_state):
151	Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
152	(ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
153	(isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
154	static again.
155	(struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
156	(isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
157	(irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
158	Number of words is constant again.
159	(struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
160	* src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
161	* src/sort.c: Likewise.
162	* src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
163	(struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
164	from rand-isaac.c.
165	* src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
166	(struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
167	with the other member names.  All uses changed.
168	(usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
169	(short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
170	(rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one.  All uses changed.
171	(HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
172	(get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
173	Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
174	(keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
175	Add a FIXME.
176	(badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
177	(main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
178	doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
179	Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
180
1812005-12-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
182
183	* src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
184
185	Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
186	* src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
187	local of type uint32_t.  Make the local an `int' instead.
188
189	* NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
190
191	* src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
192	Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
193	part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
194	* src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
195
196	* src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
197	type to conform with convention.
198	(main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
199	(keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
200	causing `make distcheck' to fail.
201
202	* src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h.  No longer needed.
203
204	* tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
205	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
206
2072005-12-10  Frederik Eaton  <frederik@ofb.net>
208
209	* src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
210	(shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
211	* src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
212	Make state size runtime-configurable.
213	(isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
214	* src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
215	* src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h.  Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
216	(fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
217	runtime-configurable.
218	* src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
219	(usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
220	shuffle.
221	Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
222	(get_hash): New function.
223	(rand_state): New var.
224	(HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
225
2262005-12-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
227
228	* tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
229
2302005-12-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
231
232	* src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
233	From The Wanderer.
234
2352005-12-09  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>
236
237	* src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
238
2392005-12-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
240
241	* NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
242	* src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
243	* src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
244
2452005-12-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
246
247	Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
248	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
249	* Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
250	distribute a copy of this script.
251	* .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
252
253	* tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
254	to create a temporary directory on another partition.
255	From Andreas Gruenbacher.
256
2572005-12-06  Tomas Pospisek  <tpo@sourcepole.ch>  (tiny change)
258
259	* man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
260	* man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
261
2622005-12-05  Andreas Gruenbacher
263
264	* src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
265	(set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
266	(copy_reg): Use them.
267	(copy_internal): Use them here, too.
268
2692005-12-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
270
271	* src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
272	Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
273
274	* src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
275	where it's used.
276
2772005-12-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
278
279	* src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
280	testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
281	ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
282	Problem reported by Eric Blake.
283	* src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
284	* src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
285
286	* tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
287	testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
288	* tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
289	* tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
290	* tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
291
2922005-11-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
293
294	* Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
295
2962005-11-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
297
298	* NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
299	* src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
300	(usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
301
302	* src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
303	to avoid collision with POSIX name space.  All uses changed.
304
3052005-11-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
306
307	* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
308	* tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
309
310	* .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
311
3122005-11-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
313
314	* src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
315	unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
316	8192 (on normal hosts, anyway).  This improved performance 5% on my
317	Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
318	ext3 file system to itself).
319	Include "buffer-lcm.h".
320	(copy_reg): Omit last argument.  All callers changed.
321	Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
322	(which is unwise with large block sizes).
323	Declare locals more locally, if possible.
324	Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
325	when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
326	Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
327	In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
328	Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
329	Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
330	Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
331	and group.
332
3332005-11-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
334
335	* src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
336
3372005-11-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
338
339	* src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
340
341	* tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
342	`cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
343	new version of rm.
344	* tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
345	even after certain types of failure.
346
347	* src/remove.c: Rewrite.  Now, this module is reentrant on systems
348	that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
349	where our openat emulation code is reentrant.  This also fixes a
350	few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
351	in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
352	* NEWS: Mention this.
353
354	* configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
355	emacs function that updates them works properly.
356
3572005-11-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
358
359	* configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add.  Needed for CVS Automake.
360	Problem reported by Eric Blake.
361	(AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
362	we get a standard-conforming compiler.  This relies on the new
363	m4/c.m4 file.  Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
364	define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
365	m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
366
3672005-11-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
368
369	* src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
370	(AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
371	(rm_1): Likewise.
372
373	* tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
374
375	Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
376	patches are committed.
377	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
378	* tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
379
380	ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
381	* tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
382	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
383	* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
384
385	* src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
386
3872005-11-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
388
389	* NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
390	* src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
391	(do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
392
3932005-11-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
394
395	* tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX.  It appears to fail
396	with EACCES rather than EPERM.  Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
397	http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
398	This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
399	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html

406
407	* announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
408	emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
409	* Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
410	* Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
411
412	Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
413	* Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
414	(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
415	* .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
416	above rule.  Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
417	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
418
4192005-11-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
420

432
4332005-11-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
434
435	* NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
436	like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
437	* src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
438
4392005-11-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
440
441	* tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
442	From Paul Townsend.
443
4442005-10-17  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>
445
446	* src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
447	Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
448
4492005-11-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
450
451	* src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
452	(FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
453	(do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR.  All callers changed.
454	(main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
455	instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT.  This simplifies the code, and avoids
456	the use of alloca.
457
4582005-11-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
459
460	* src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
461	on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
462	This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.

464	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
465	* NEWS: Mention this.
466
467	* tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
468	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
469	* tests/very-expensive: New file.

482
483	* tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
484	From Andreas Schwab.
485
486	* tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
487	`M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
488
489	* tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
490	fixed on 2005-10-31.  This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
491	* tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
492	to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
493	under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
494
495	* src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
496	(without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
497	This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
498	functions like priv_allocset).  Reported by Keith Thompson.
499
500	* tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
501	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.

506	POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
507	* src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
508	Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
509	* src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
510	* tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
511	(test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
512	regularize the old ones a bit.
513	* tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
514
5152005-10-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
516

518	Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
519
5202005-10-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
521
522	* tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
523	Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
524
5252005-10-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
526
527	* src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
528	boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
529
5302005-10-26  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>
531
532	* src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
533	back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
534	compatibility.
535
5362005-10-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
537
538	* tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
539	the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
540
5412005-10-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
542
543	* src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
544	also test whether it is a tty.  Using only the lseek-based test would
545	give a false positive on Solaris.  Reported by Peter Fales.
546
5472005-10-24  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>
548
549	* tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
550	* tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
551	* tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

557	Anonymous report and patch from
558	http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
559
560	* src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
561	and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements.  This would
562	have prevented the above-fixed bug.
563
564	* src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
565	identical to the one in unexpand.c.
566	* src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
567	identical to the one in expand.c.
568
569	* src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
570
5712005-10-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
572
573	* src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
574	a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
575	* NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
576	* AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
577
5782005-08-28  David Madore  <david.madore@ens.fr>

587	New files.
588	* man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
589	(sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
590	* tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
591	* tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
592	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
593	sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
594	own directory.
595
5962005-08-28  David Madore  <david.madore@ens.fr>
597
598	* tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
599	of the FIPS test vectors).

6372005-10-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
638
639	* configure.ac: Use 5.92-cvs as the version string.
640	* NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
641
642	* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Depend on
643	$(release_archive_dir)/$(prev-tgz) here, so that if it's missing
644	we fail earlier.
645
6462005-10-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
647
648	* Version 5.91.
649
650	* Makefile.maint (VERSION_REGEXP): New variable.

655
656	* NEWS: Mention the `mkdir -p' bug fix.
657
6582005-10-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
659
660	* src/who.c (usage): Undocument deprecated --idle (-i) option.

6732005-09-30  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>  (tiny change)
674
675	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Remove temp directory first.
676	* NEWS: Document dircolors change of 2005-09-05.
677
6782005-10-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
679
680	* src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Redo previous change, since I'm
681	no longer confident that the m4/stdbool.m4 patch suffices.
682
6832005-10-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
684
685	* src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Undo previous change, since
686	today's change to m4/stdbool.m4 should catch it.
687
6882005-10-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
689
690	* TODO: rm: add support for a -I option, like that from FreeBSD's.
691
6922005-10-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
693
694	* src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Declare temporary as `int' rather
695	than `bool' to work around AIX 5.3 compiler bug in 64-bit mode.
696	From James Lemley.
697
6982005-10-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
699
700	* src/factor.c (MAX_N_FACTORS): Define in terms of sizeof (uintmax_t)
701	rather than hard-coding to 128.  From Thomas M.Ott.
702
7032005-10-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
704
705	* Makefile.maint (sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
706	Search only cvs-controlled files.
707	* .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: New file.
708	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
709
7102005-10-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
711
712	* src/factor.c (main): Don't stop processing arguments upon
713	the first invalid one.  Suggestion from Eric Blake
714	* tests/factor/basic: Add a test for this.
715
7162005-09-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
717
718	* configure.ac: Use 5.91-cvs as the version string.
719	* NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
720
7212005-09-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
722
723	* src/dd.c (main): Don't assume size_t has the same width
724	as unsigned long.  Problem reported by Eric Blake.
725
726	* NEWS: Clarify "tail - f" example.
727
7282005-09-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
729

731
732	* configure.ac: Remove -cvs suffix from version string.
733	* NEWS: Add today's date.
734

736	stat now exits nonzero if a file operand does not exist
737
7382005-09-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
739
740	* src/system.h (LONGEST_MODIFIER): Use ULONG_MAX_LT_ULLONG_MAX
741	instead of ULLONG_MAX, as the latter doesn't work with GCC 2.7.2.1.
742
7432005-09-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
744
745	* configure.ac: Use 5.90-cvs as the version string, not 5.3.1-cvs.

755
756	* README: Warn about a (now-)known problem on FreeBSD 5.0:
757
7582005-09-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
759
760	* src/touch.c (touch): Handle "touch -c - >&-" by checking for EBADF
761	and ENOSYS.
762	Do not pass "-" to futimens; pass NULL instead.
763	If close (STDIN_FILENO) fails, report the error separately instead
764	of letting the 'close' pollute errno.
765	* tests/touch/empty-file: Test "touch -" too.
766	* tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
767	* tests/touch/read-only: Likewise.
768

770
771	* tests/touch/read-only: New test, for root of chmod/usage failure.
772	* tests/touch/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add read-only.
773
774	Work around the root cause of alpha-linux-1.sf.net test failure.
775	* tests/chmod/usage: Remove *all* files before each inner loop
776	iteration.  Otherwise, with a touch program that fails on unwritable
777	files, (this happens at least on linux-2.2.20) a -w file left behind
778	from a previous iteration could cause a spurious test failure.
779
7802005-09-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
781
782	* tests/chmod/usage: Undo the s/files/file/ change, but add
783	comments about why the old version was desired.
784
7852005-09-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
786
787	* tests/ls-2/tests (setuid-etc): Work around output mismatch when
788	a just-created test file cannot be made set-group-ID.
789
790	Avoid test failures on alpha-linux-1.sf.net.
791	* tests/chmod/usage: Use newer trap and tmpdir-creation framework.
792	Fix apparent typos (s/files/file/) in inner loop.
793
7942005-09-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
795
796	* NEWS: "touch -" now touches standard output.
797	* src/touch.c (touch): Implement this.
798	(usage): Document this.
799
800	* src/copy.c (HAVE_FCHMOD, HAVE_FCHOWN): Define to 0 if not defined.
801	(copy_reg): New args CHOWN_SUCCEDED and DST_SB.  All callers changed.
802	Add a "goto close_src_and_dst_desc;" that was missing in the
803	previous patch.
804	(copy_reg) [HAVE_FCHOWN]: Prefer fchown to chown.
805	(copy_reg) [HAVE_FCHMOD]: Prefer fchmod to chmod.
806	(copy_internal): Don't invoke chown if fchown worked,
807	and likewise for chmod and fchmod.
808
8092005-09-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
810
811	* src/shred.c: Use `#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H', not `#if HAVE_CONFIG_H',
812	for consistency with gnulib.
813	* src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
814
815	* Makefile.maint (sc_no_if_have_config_h): New rule.
816	(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
817	.x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: New file.
818	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
819
820	* tests/seq/basic (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Disable these tests for now.
821	They fail with non-gcc compilers and some combinations
822	of options and libraries on Solaris systems.
823
824	* tests/misc/date (uninit-64): Restore this test.
825	Add start-up code to detect, and work around, the cases in
826	which the test might fail.
827
8282005-09-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
829
830	* tests/misc/date (uninit-64): Remove this test.  It wasn't
831	portable in theory (it doesn't work on hosts where 'int' is 64
832	bits, example) or in practice (Solaris 8 localtime returns garbage
833	in tm_year for the specified date, but that's not coreutils's
834	fault).
835
8362005-09-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
837
838	* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Preserve time stamps if
839	x->preserve_timestamps is set, using futimens so that
840	we needn't resolve the path again.
841	(copy_internal): Don't preserve time stamps if copy_reg did it
842	already.
843	* src/install.c (change_timestamps): First arg is source
844	struct stat, not file name.  All uses changed.
845	(install_file_in_file): Stat the source file.
846	Don't try to change time stamps if copy_file did it.
847	* src/system.h: Don't include utime.h; not needed.
848	(struct utimbuf) [!defined HAVE_STRUCT_UTIMBUF]: Remove; not needed.
849
8502005-09-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
851
852	* src/od.c: Use `verify' to ensure that our hard-coded
853	bytes_to_*_digits arrays are long enough.  Of course, 17+-byte
854	integral types aren't on the near horizon, but just in case...
855	(MAX_INTEGRAL_TYPE_SIZE): Move definition to precede new first use.
856	(bytes_to_oct_digits, bytes_to_signed_dec_digits):
857	(bytes_to_unsigned_dec_digits, bytes_to_hex_digits): Change base
858	type from `char' to the clearer `unsigned int'.
859
8602005-09-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
861
862	* src/rmdir.c (EEXIST, ENOTEMPTY): Remove unused macros.
863
864	Sync from gnulib.
865
866	* src/dircolors.c: Include strcase.h.
867	* src/pinky.c: Include canon-host.h rather than declaring
868	canon_host ourselves.
869	* src/who.c: Likewise.
870
871	* src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC): Moved here from
872	../lib/xalloc.h, with args properly parenthesized, and using
873	verify_expr rather than the old VERIFY_EXPR.
874
8752005-09-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
876
877	* tests/install/basic-1: Require that this test be run as non-root.
878	Otherwise, it fails due to the fact that the chmod 0 . doesn't
879	affect root.
880
8812005-09-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
882
883	* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Change comment to
884	agree with the code.
885
8862005-09-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
887
888	* src/remove.c (remove_dir): Return RM_ERROR, not `1',
889	when attempting to remove `/' with --preserve-root.
890
891	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Syntactic tweak: move an
892	assignment out of an if-expression.
893
8942005-09-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
895
896	* src/extract-magic (usage): Request that additions be sent to
897	bug-coreutils@gnu.org, too.
898
8992005-09-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
900
901	* tests/misc/date (rfc822-1): Compensate for Solaris 5.9's /bin/sh,
902	which emits a diagnostic to stderr when this test's LC_ALL=de_DE
903	setting cannot be honored.
904
905	* tests/misc/date (subfmt-up1): Put quotes around format string
906	to protect `^' from interpretation by some shells.
907	Add a use of OUT_SUBST to compensate for Solaris strftime's slightly
908	different formatting of %c.
909
910	* src/dd.c (main): When failing to truncate, mention both the seek
911	block count and the block size, in case the block size is very large.
912	Now `make distcheck' should pass, once again.
913
9142005-09-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
915
916	* src/copy.c: Include stat-time.h.
917	(copy_internal): Use its functions instead of the obsolete
918	TIMESPEC_NS macro.
919	* src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
920	* src/date.c (main): Likewise.
921	* src/du.c (struct duinfo, duinfo_init, duinfo_set, duinfo_add):
922	(show_date, print_size, process_file): Likewise.
923	* src/install.c (change_timestamps): Likewise.
924	* src/ls.c (cmp_ctime, cmp_mtime, cmp_atime, print_long_format):
925	Likewise.
926	* src/pr.c (init_header): Likewise.
927	* src/stat.c (human_time, print_stat): Likewise.
928	* src/tail.c (record_open_fd, tail_forever): Likewise.
929	* src/test.c (get_mtime, binary_operator): Likewise.
930	* src/touch.c (touch, main): Likewise.
931	* src/test.c (get_mtime): Renamed from age_of.  All uses changed.
932
9332005-09-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
934
935	Date no longer needs to allocate virtual memory to do its job,
936	so it can no longer fail due to an out-of-memory condition.
937
938	* src/date.c: Include fprintftime.h.
939	Don't include strftime.h or xanstrftime.h -- no longer needed.
940	(show_date): Use new fprintftime function rather than xanstrftime.
941	Correct comment: this function no longer handles a NULL format string.
942	* src/du.c: Likewise.
943	* NEWS: Mention this.
944
945	* tests/misc/date (subfmt-up1): Test the combination of the
946	to-upper-case modifier (^) and a conversion specifier that
947	expands to a string containing lower case characters.
948
9492005-09-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
950
951	* NEWS: uname -a no longer generates the -p and -i outputs if they
952	are unknown.
953	* src/uname.c (usage): Document this.
954	(main): Implement this.
955
9562005-09-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
957
958	* tests/misc/date (tz-5w, tz-5wf): Test new %:z format with
959	a field width.
960
9612005-09-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
962
963	* src/dd.c: Detect some very unlikely buffer overflows.
964	(INPUT_BLOCK_SLOP, OUTPUT_BLOCK_SLOP): New macros.
965	(MAX_BLOCKSIZE): Now accepts an arg.  All uses changed.
966	(page_size): New var.
967	(scanargs, skip, main): Use more-straightforward way to detect overflow.
968	(dd_copy): Use page_size rather than invoking getpagesize.
969	Use INPUT_BLOCK_SLOP, OUTPUT_BLOCK_SLOP.
970	(main): Set page_size.
971	Avoid a call to stat in the usual case where ftruncate succeeds.
972
973	* src/expr.c (docolon): Add IF_LINT check to avoid GCC warning.
974
975	* configure.ac: Don't invoke AC_CONFIGURE_HOST directly; AB_INIT
976	does it for us, and our invocation evokes a diagnostic from
977	Autoconf 2.59.
978
979	* NEWS: date has a new --rfc-3339 option, and the old --iso-8601
980	option is deprecated.  date, du, ls, and pr also have new time format
981	specifiers %:z, %::z, %:::z.
982	* src/date.c (TIME_SPEC_DATE): No longer needs to be nonzero, so
983	remove the "=1".
984	(TIME_SPEC_HOURS, TIME_SPEC_MINUTES): Must be at end now, so put
985	them there.
986	(time_spec_string, time_spec): Hours and minutes must be at
987	start now, so put them there.
988	(rfc_2822_format): Now a string constant, not a boolean.  All uses
989	changed.
990	(iso_8601_format, rfc_format): Remove.
991	(RFC_3339_OPTION): New constant.
992	(long_options): Add --rfc-3339.
993	(usage): Add --rfc-3339.  Don't mention --iso-8601.
994	Mention %:z, %::z, %:::z.
995	(main): Simplify calculation of 'format'; it was getting too hairy
996	to follow.  Add --rfc-3339.
997	(show_date): Assume format arg is not NULL, which is the case
998	now.  The default code is moved to 'main'.  This simplifies things
999	and allows the default to be calculated just once.
1000	* tests/misc/date: Add tests for --rfc-3339, %:z, %::z, %:::z.
1001
10022005-09-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1003
1004	* Makefile.maint (GZIP_ENV): Add --rsyncable option.
1005	(makefile-check): Escape a `$' in a diagnostic.
1006
1007	* configure.ac: Use AB_INIT (from autobuild).
1008
10092005-09-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1010
1011	* src/factor.c (usage): Remove leading spaces in 2-line
1012	description, so that help2man doesn't mangle it.
1013	Reported by Justin Pryzby.
1014
10152005-09-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1016
1017	csplit could produce corrupt output, given input lines longer than 8KB
1018
1019	* src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Don't read from free'd memory
1020	when handling lines longer than the initial buffer length.
1021	(save_to_hold_area): Don't leak the previous hold_area buffer.
1022	Reported by Tristan Miller and Luke Kendall.
1023	* NEWS: Mention this.
1024	* tests/misc/csplit: New test for this.
1025
1026	* src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Avoid integer overflow in buffer
1027	size calculations for very long lines.
1028
10292005-09-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1030
1031	Support regular expressions in 64-bit code correctly, by
1032	importing the latest gnulib regexp code, and not assuming
1033	that sizes fit in 32 bits.
1034	* src/csplit.c (process_regexp): Store match length in regoff_t,
1035	not int.  Assume that negative return values less than -2
1036	represent regoff_t overflow.
1037	* src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise.
1038	* src/nl.c (proc_text): Likewise.
1039	* src/ptx.c (SKIP_SOMETHING, find_occurs_in_text): Likewise.
1040	* src/tac.c (tac_seekable): Likewise.
1041	* src/expr.c (docolon) Check for size calculation overflow.
1042	* src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
1043	* src/ptx.c (matcher_error): New function.
1044	(SKIP_SOMETHING): Use it to report matcher errors.
1045	(alloc_and_compile_regex): No longer any need to worry about
1046	int versus size_t mismatch.
1047
1048	* NEWS: Document "niceness" vs "nice value".
1049	* configure.ac (utils_cv_func_setpriority): Simplify the tests.
1050	Define HAVE_NICE rather than NICE_PRIORITY (since a niceness is
1051	not a priority); all uses changed.
1052	* src/nice.c (main): Hoist errno=0 outside the ifdef.
1053
10542005-09-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1055
1056	* tests/misc/date (neg-secs2, fill-1, fill-2): Add new tests.
1057
10582005-09-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1059
1060	Use the phrase "niceness" instead of "nice value" to describe
1061	the biased nice value that can go negative.  This corrects
1062	a discrepancy with POSIX, which states that nice values are
1063	nonnegative.
1064	* src/nice.c (GET_NICENESS): Renamed from GET_NICE_VALUE.
1065	All uses changed.
1066	(usage): Say "niceness" rather than "nice value".
1067	(main): Say "niceness" rather than "priority" (which is something else
1068	entirely nowadays).
1069
10702005-09-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1071
1072	* src/du.c (time_args): Use NULL in place of 0.
1073
10742005-09-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1075
1076	* src/dcgen: Don't omit comments until there is better documentation.
1077
1078	Colorize set-user-ID and set-group-ID files and sticky,
1079	other-writable, and sticky-and-other-writable directories.
1080	* src/dircolors.c (slack_codes): Add new dircolors mode names.
1081	(ls_codes): Add corresponding two-letter ls mode strings.
1082	* src/ls.c (indicator_no[]): Add new symbols.
1083	(indicator_name[]): Add corresponding mode strings.
1084	(color_indicator[]): Add an entry for each new mode string.
1085	(print_color_indicator): Honor new types.
1086	* src/dircolors.hin: Document the default colors for the new strings.
1087	From Mike Frysinger, based on a patch from Fedora.
1088	* tests/ls-2/tests (setuid-etc): New test, for the above.
1089
10902005-08-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1091
1092	* NEWS: "rm -FOO" now suggests "rm ./-FOO" if the file "-FOO"
1093	exists and "-FOO" is not a valid option.
1094	* src/rm.c: Include lstat.h, quotearg.h.
1095	(diagnose_leading_hyphen): New function.
1096	(main): Use it.
1097
10982005-08-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1099
1100	* src/du.c: Go ahead and leave the patch in (i.e., revert
1101	today's change).  It doesn't cause a problem after all, since
1102	--exclude-from=- is always handled before --files0-from=F.
1103
1104	* src/du.c: Revert the du.c part of the change from 2005-07-02:
1105	That change (to reopen stdin on F for --files0-from=F) made it so
1106	--exclude-from=- and --files0-from=F would not work together.
1107
11082005-08-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1109
1110	* configure.ac: Use `5.3.1-cvs' as the version string.
1111	* NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
1112

1114	(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1115	* .x-sc_useless_cpp_parens: New file.
1116	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1117
1118	* src/od.c: Include <float.h> unconditionally.
1119	* src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Remove unnecessary parens in
1120	`#if defined (SYMBOL)' expressions.
1121	* src/system.h: Likewise.
1122	* src/hostname.c: Likewise.
1123	* src/su.c: Likewise.
1124	* src/test.c: Likewise.
1125
11262005-08-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1127
1128	* src/tail.c (xwrite_stdout): Rename from xwrite.  Remove always-
1129	equal-to-STDOUT_FILENO parameter and associated assertion.
1130	Adjust all callers.
1131
11322005-08-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1133
1134	* src/ln.c (do_link): If ln is invoked with --interactive (-i),
1135	encounters an existing destination file, and gets an affirmative
1136	response, then first try to unlink the destination file rather
1137	than simply failing.  Suggestion from Karl Berry.
1138	FIXME: add test for this
1139
1140	* src/ln.c (main): Declare `target_directory' with const attribute.
1141	* src/du.c (time_style): Add `const' attribute.
1142	(tot_dui): Remove unnecessary (and too-short) initializer list.
1143
11442005-08-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1145
1146	* src/sort.c (usage) [-b,-t]: Ensure that there are at least two
1147	spaces between each option and the corresponding description -- this
1148	lets help2man format entries properly.  Reported by Edward Welbourne.
1149
11502005-08-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1151
1152	* src/sort.c (usage): Fix typo s/POS 2/POS2/.
1153	Reported by Edward Welbourne.
1154
1155	* tests/misc/date [neg-secs]: New test for today's strftime.c bug fix.
1156	* tests/misc/date: Remove terminating "\n"s once again.
1157	Automatically add them whenever EXIT != 0.
1158
11592005-08-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1160
1161	* src/df.c (show_dev): New arg STAT_FILE.  All uses changed.
1162	This sometimes gives better results on networked file systems
1163	that do not respect POSIX semantics.  Problem reported by
1164	Bruno Haible.
1165
11662005-08-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1167
1168	Don't print uninitialized data (or anything else) to stdout
1169	upon localtime failure.
1170	* src/date.c (show_date): Remove stray `puts (buf);' (debugging?)
1171	from the 2004-02-02 change.
1172	* tests/misc/date (uninit-64): New test for the above.
1173	Rewrite all other OUT strings to include the terminating "\n".
1174
11752005-08-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1176
1177	* src/md5sum.c (usage): Fix typo s/formated/formatted/ reported
1178	by Norbert Kiesel.
1179
1180	Use one fewer file descriptor in a common case.
1181	* src/touch.c: Include "fd-reopen.h", rather than "fcntl--.h".
1182	Use fd_reopen rather than open.
1183
11842005-08-14  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.org>
1185
1186	* src/test.c (age_of): Return the nanoseconds part of the timestamp,
1187	if available.
1188	(binary_operator) [-nt, -ot]: Use nanosecond values to break ties.
1189
11902005-08-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1191
1192	* src/ls.c (long_time_expected_width): Revert last change, just to
1193	be paranoid, and add a comment explaining why.  Paul Eggert mentioned
1194	the possibility.
1195
1196	* src/wc.c: Don't define mbrtowc at all.
1197	If mbstate_t is not defined, then AC_TYPE_MBSTATE_T will define
1198	it to `int' for us.  Now wc.c really does compile on HP-UX 11.23.
1199
12002005-08-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1201
1202	* tests/date: Remove directory
1203	* tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove date.
1204	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/date/Makefile.
1205
1206	* tests/Coreutils.pm: New keywords, ENV and ENV_DEL, to support
1207	tests/misc/date.
1208
1209	With todays additions, the generated shell script,
1210	tests/date/date-tests had becoming far too large (over 350KB),
1211	so use the superior-but-perl-requiring framework instead.
1212	* tests/date/Test.pm: Move all tests from here...
1213	* tests/misc/date: ...to this new file.
1214	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add date.
1215
1216	* tests/date/Test.pm (test_vector) [cross-dst]: New test for
1217	just-fixed getdate.y bug.
1218	* tests/date/Test.pm (test_vector): Add 364 more tests like the above.
1219	Remove unused $sunos4 variable.
1220
12212005-08-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1222
1223	* src/nohup.c (main): Explain why we reopen stdin for write-only access.
1224
1225	* src/ls.c (long_time_expected_width): Don't test for failed localtime.
1226	That cannot happen when the result date's year is in range.
1227	Add an assertion instead.
1228
1229	* src/ls.c (sort_files): Use cleaner `sizeof *VAR_NAME'
1230	rather than `sizeof (TYPE_NAME)'.
1231	* src/ptx.c (sort_found_occurs, digest_word_file): Likewise.
1232	(alloc_and_compile_regex): Likewise.
1233
1234	* src/wc.c: Test `!defined HAVE_MBSTATE_T' rather than
1235	`defined mbstate_t' to detect missing support for mbstate_t.
1236	The latter didn't work for HP-UX 11.23.
1237
1238	Add bulletproofing in case stdin is closed.
1239	* src/dircolors.c (have_read_stdin): Remove global variable.
1240	(dc_parse_stream): Always use stdin (freopen, if needed) rather
1241	than sometimes using fopen to get a new file descriptor.
1242	Call fclose unconditionally.
1243	(main): Don't close stdin here.  If needed, now it's already done
1244	by dc_parse_stream.
1245
1246	* src/dircolors.c (dc_parse_file): Remove comment about
1247	now-removed OPENOPTS.
1248
1249	* src/fold.c (fold_file): Cosmetic: use X2REALLOC rather than x2realloc.
1250	* src/pr.c (main): Likewise.
1251
1252	* src/csplit.c (new_control_record): Cosmetic: use X2NREALLOC (only
1253	two arguments) rather than x2nrealloc (with three).
1254	* src/cut.c (ADD_RANGE_PAIR): Likewise.
1255	* src/expand.c (add_tab_stop): Likewise.
1256	* src/join.c (extract_field, getseq): Likewise.
1257	* src/od.c (decode_format_string): Likewise.
1258	* src/sort.c (add_temp_dir): Likewise.
1259	* src/unexpand.c (add_tab_stop): Likewise.
1260
1261	* src/pr.c (main): Cosmetic: use '\0' in place of 0.
1262
12632005-08-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1264
1265	* src/date.c: Include "xanstrftime.h".
1266	(show_date): Use xanstrftime instead of open-coding it.
1267	* src/du.c: Likewise.
1268
12692005-07-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1270
1271	* src/date.c (show_date): Remove now-unnecessary code that
1272	treated an empty format string as a special case.
1273	* tests/date/Test.pm (empty-format): New test, for this case.
1274
12752005-07-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1276
1277	* src/md5sum.c (usage): Adjust printf argument list to match
1278	new format string.
1279
12802005-07-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1281
1282	* NEWS: md5sum --check now accepts multiple input files, and
1283	similarly for sha1sum.  Extension suggested by Chris Girling.
1284	* src/md5sum.c (usage, main): Support this new usage.
1285
12862005-07-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1287
1288	Fix a problem noted by James Youngman: VPATH-style builds don't
1289	work because of po file problems.
1290	* src/Makefile.am (BUILT_SOURCES): Remove false.c.
1291	(false.c): Remove; it's now a source file.
1292	* src/false.c: New file.
1293	* src/true.c (EXIT_STATUS): New macro.
1294	(PROGRAM_NAME, usage): Behave like "false" if EXIT_STATUS indicates.
1295	(usage): Remove "These option names may not be abbreviated."
1296
12972005-07-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1298
1299	* src/nohup.c (main): Don't worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT.  Today's
1300	Austin Group Minutes says that the GNU behavior will be put
1301	forward as proposed text for a future revision.
1302
13032005-07-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1304
1305	* src/Makefile.am (nanosec_libs): Remove $(FESETROUND_LIBM); no longer
1306	needed.  Problem reported by Jeff Bailey.
1307
13082005-07-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1309
1310	* Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Reflect rearrangement in

13132005-07-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1314
1315	* NEWS: Binary input and output are now implemented more consistently.
1316	These changes affect only platforms like MS-DOS that distinguish
1317	between binary and text files.
1318	* src/cat.c (usage, main, long_options) [O_BINARY]:
1319	Remove support for -B.  Use same rules as other programs to decide
1320	whether to use binary I/O, except that the -bensAE options always
1321	select text mode.
1322	* src/cat.c (main): Avoid setmode; use POSIX-specified routines instead.
1323	* src/cksum.c (cksum): Likewise.
1324	* src/head.c (head_lines, head_file): Likewise.
1325	* src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
1326	* src/split.c (main): Likewise.
1327	* src/sum.c (bsd_sum_file, sysv_sym_file): Likewise.
1328	* src/tac.c (copy_to_temp, tac_file, main): Likewise.
1329	* src/tail.c (tail_bytes, tail_lines, tail_file, main): Likewise.
1330	* src/tee.c (tee): Likewise.
1331	* src/tr.c (main): Likewise.
1332	* src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
1333	* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Always copy in binary mode.
1334	* src/expand.c (expand): Always copy in text mode.  POSIX says
1335	the input and output must be text.
1336	* src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
1337	* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_file, elide_tail_lines_file, head_bytes):
1338	(head_lines, head_file): Always use binary mode except for std tty.
1339	* src/md5sum.c (usage): Clarify whether text or binary is the default.
1340	(split_3, main): BINARY is now a 3-way value.  All uses changed.
1341	(digest_file): Likewise.  Clear *BINARY if we determine the file
1342	to be text.  All uses changed.
1343	(main): Don't report a file to be binary if we actually read it
1344	as text in MS-DOS, because it was a terminal.
1345	* src/shred.c (wipefile): Always use binary mode.  Clearly this
1346	never worked right on DOS!
1347	* src/system.h (setmode, fileno): Remove; no longer needed, we think.
1348	(SET_MODE, SET_BINARY, SET_BINARY2): Remove.
1349	[defined __DJGPP__]: Don't include <io.h> or <sys/exceptn.h>.
1350	* src/wc.c (wc_file): FILE might be null now.
1351	(main): Simplify code a bit, so that fewer places need the
1352	setmode fixes.
1353
13542005-07-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1355
1356	* src/comm.c, src/csplit.c, src/dd.c, src/join.c, src/md5sum.c:
1357	* src/pr.c, src/sort.c, src/tee.c:
1358	Don't include stdio.h; no longer needed.
1359
13602005-07-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1361
1362	Fix porting problems reported by Eric Blake.
1363
1364	* configure.ac: Remove check for AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ.
1365	* src/cat.c, src/ls.c, src/stty.c: Include stropts.h if available,
1366	because POSIX says that's where ioctl is declared.
1367	* src/cat.c: Use HAVE_SYS_IOCTL_H instead of _POSIX_SOURCE
1368	to decide whether to include <sys/ioctl.h>.
1369	* src/stty.c: Use only HAVE_SYS_IOCTL_H to decide whether
1370	to include <sys/ioctl.h>.
1371
1372	* src/id.c (print_user): Don't assume uid fits in unsigned int.
1373	(print_group): Likewise, for gid.
1374
13752005-07-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1376
1377	* src/system.h (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE): Generate a hard error
1378	(not just a warning) if GCC is used and the types don't match.
1379
13802005-07-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1381
1382	* src/system.h (VERIFY_W_TYPEOF): Remove; no longer needed.
1383	(DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE): Change last arg from T's maximum value
1384	to T itself.  All callers changed.  Check that T is unsigned, and
1385	that Accum is of type T.  This fixes a bug in the unlikely case
1386	where SIZE_MAX <= INT_MAX, and it no longer requires typeof to do
1387	the proper validity checks.
1388
1389	* src/od.c: Adjust to verify.h change.
1390	* src/system.h (VERIFY_W_TYPEOF): Likewise.
1391
13922005-07-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1393
1394	* src/system.h: Include "verify.h".
1395
1396	* src/system.h (verify): Rename from VERIFY_EXPR, to be lower case,
1397	like assert.  Use sizeof, rather than equivalent ((...)0), for
1398	it's slightly simpler syntax.  Suggestions from Paul Eggert.
1399	(verify_decl): Rename from VERIFY.
1400	* src/od.c: Reflect name change.
1401
14022005-07-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1403
1404	* NEWS: cp and mv: the --reply=X option is deprecated
1405	Suggested by Bob Proulx, after numerous user complaints
1406	about how --reply=no appeared not to work.
1407	* src/mv.c (main): Using --reply now evokes a warning.
1408	(usage): Remove description of --reply.
1409	* src/cp.c (main): Using --reply now evokes a warning.
1410	(usage): Remove description of --reply.
1411	* tests/mv/i-link-no: Adjust for new diagnostic.
1412	* tests/mv/reply-no: Likewise.
1413
1414	* src/printf.c (verify_numeric): Rename from verify.
1415	Update caller.
1416
14172005-07-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1418
1419	* src/copy.h: Include "lstat.h" rather than rolling our own.
1420	* src/ls.c: Likewise.
1421	* src/remove.c: Likewise.
1422
14232005-07-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1424
1425	Cleanup to isolate "safer" functions to a small part of the code.
1426	* src/comm.c: Include stdio--.h, not stdio-safer.h.
1427	(compare_files): Use fopen, not fopen_safer.
1428	* src/copy.c: Include fcntl--.h, not unistd-safer.h.
1429	(copy_reg): Don't call fd_safer; no longer needed
1430	now that we include fcntl--.h.
1431	* src/csplit.c: Include fd-reopen.h.
1432	Include stdio--.h, not stdio-safer.h.
1433	(input_desc): Remove.  All uses changed to STDIN_FILENO.
1434	(set_input_file): Reopen stdin, to simplify code.
1435	(create_output_file): Use fopen, not fopen_safer.
1436	* src/dd.c: Include fd-reopen.h.
1437	(open_fd): Remove.  All callers changed to use fd_reopen instead.
1438	* src/join.c: Include stdio--.h, not stdio-safer.h.
1439	(main): Use fopen, not fopen_safer.
1440	* src/md5sum.c: Include stdio--.h.
1441	(digest_check): Don't try to read both checksums and data from stdin.
1442	* src/nohup.c: Include fd-reopen.h.
1443	Include unistd--.h, not unistd-safer.h.
1444	(main): Use fd_reopen to simplify code.  When replacing stdin,
1445	use "/dev/null" not "/", as that's less likely to go wrong these days.
1446	(main): Use dup, not dup_safer.
1447	* src/pr.c: Include stdio--.h, not stdio-safer.h.
1448	(open_file): Invoke fopen, not fopen_safer.
1449	* src/shred.c: Include fcntl--.h, not unistd-safer.h.
1450	(wipename, wipe_file): Don't use fd_safer; no longer needed
1451	now that we include fcntl--.h.
1452	* src/sort.c: Include stdio--.h rather than stdio-safer.h.
1453	Include stdlib--.h.  Do not include unistd-safer.h.
1454	(create_temp_file): Don't call fd_safer; no longer needed
1455	now that we include *--.h files.
1456	(xfopen): Don't call fopen_safer, for similar reasons.

1458	Include fd-reopen.h.
1459	(input_desc): Remove.  All uses replaced by STDIN_FILENO.
1460	(cwrite): Don't call fd_safer; no longer needed now that
1461	we include fcntl--.h.
1462	(main): Reuse stdin rather than opening a new one.  This
1463	saves a file descriptor.
1464	* src/stty.c: Include fd-reopen.h.
1465	(display_all, display_settings, display_window_size, set_window_size):
1466	Remove fd arg, since we now assume stdin.  All callers changed.
1467	(main): Reuse stdin rather than opening a new one.  This
1468	saves a file descriptor.
1469	* src/tac.c: Include stdlib--.h rather than unistd-safer.h.

1480	we include fcntl--.h.
1481
1482	* src/du.c (main): Reuse stdin rather than opening a new stream.
1483	This saves a file descriptor.
1484	* src/uniq.c: Don't include stdio-safer.h; no longer needed.
1485	(writeline): Remove stream arg; we now always output to stdout.
1486	All callers changed.
1487	(check_file): Reuse stdout rather than opening a new stream.
1488	This saves a file descriptor.
1489
14902005-07-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1491
1492	* Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): New rule.

1495	* .x-sc_obsolete_symbols: New file.
1496
14972005-07-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1498
1499	* src/system.h: Assume HAVE_FCNTL_H (i.e., include <fcntl.h>
1500	unconditionally, and don't include <sys/file.h>).
1501	* src/system.h: Likewise for HAVE_UNISTD_H.
1502
15032005-06-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1504
1505	* src/cp.c: Add uses of ARGMATCH_VERIFY to ensure that
1506	corresponding option string and value arrays are consistent.
1507	* src/date.c: Likewise.
1508	* src/du.c: Likewise.
1509	* src/ls.c: Likewise.
1510	cp.c and date.c each had a harmless trailing `, 0' (now-removed)
1511	in a value list.
1512
1513	* src/system.h (VERIFY): Guard definition with #ifndef.
1514	(VERIFY_EXPR): Undef before defining.

1521	* src/od.c (dump_strings): Likewise.
1522	* src/sort.c (fillbuf): Likewise.
1523	* src/chmod.c (main): Likewise.
1524
1525	* src/system.h (VERIFY): Rewrite to use string-concatenation
1526	and __LINE__ so as not to require a struct name parameter.
1527	(GL_CONCAT, GL_CONCAT2): Define helper macros.
1528	* src/od.c: Update sole use.
1529
1530	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use stat.st_author, not stat.st_uid
1531	when computing the --author column width.  This bug might have
1532	resulted in misaligned columns when using the --author option
1533	on the Hurd.  Spotted by Arnold Robbins.
1534
15352005-06-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1536
1537	* src/pr.c (main, store_char): Use x2realloc on 1-byte base types,
1538	not x2nrealloc.  The former is a little more concise and readable.
1539	N.B. this sort of transformation is ok only when the base type is
1540	unlikely ever to change to a multibyte type.
1541	* src/du.c (show_date): Likewise.

1549
15502005-06-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1551
1552	Address the following "du" issues:
1553
1554	- The option name "--last-time=TYPE" is different from the ls's option
1555	  "--time=TYPE" with a similar meaning.  I assume this wasn't intended.
1556
1557	- --time-style implies --time, but this is not true for "ls".  It's
1558	  better to be consistent.
1559
1560	- Since we don't have POSIX compatibility concerns, there's no need
1561	  for the "posix-" styles, or for support of styles with newlines, or
1562	  for the "locale" style, except for parsing the TIME_STYLE
1563	  environment variable.
1564
1565	- It's cleaner (and these days, no less efficient) to use functions
1566	  rather than macros when possible.
1567
1568	- struct duinfo doesn't need a 'valid' flag; you can simply use a time
1569	  stamp that is less than all valid time stamps.
1570
1571	- The code needs a bit of reformatting to fit the usual GNU style.
1572
1573	* NEWS: du's --last-time option is now --time.
1574	* doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Fix typo: --time=use is
1575	equivalent to --time=atime, not --time=ctime.
1576	(ls invocation, du invocation): Fix typo: --time-style=long-iso
1577	is equivalent to a time style with a leading "+".
1578	(du invocation): --last-time is now --time.
1579	--time-style no longer implies --time.
1580	The locale and posix- stuff now works only for TIME_STYLE, not
1581	for --time-style.  Give equivalent format for --time-style=iso.
1582	* src/du.c: Do not include hard-locale.h.
1583	(struct duinfo): Remove 'valid' member.  All uses changed to use
1584	negative nsec instead.
1585	(DUIINFO_INI, DUINFO_SET, DUINFO_ADD): Remove.
1586	(duinfo_init, duinfo_set, duinfo_add): New functions, taking the
1587	role of the removed macros.
1588	(opt_time): Renamed from opt_last_time.  All uses changed.
1589	(TIME_OPTION): Renamed from LAST_TIME_OPTION.  All uses changed.
1590	(long_options, usage): Rename --last-time to --time.
1591	(locale_time_style): Remove.
1592	(time_style_args, time_style_types, usage): Remove support for
1593	--time-style=locale.
1594	(show_date): Now returns void, since nobody looked at the result.
1595	Assume FORMAT is not null.  An empty FORMAT now outputs an empty time.
1596	Simplify nstrftime invocation.
1597	(main): Put in ls compatibility workarounds only for TIME_STYLE,
1598	not for --time-style.  Omit unnecessary space in iso time style.
1599
16002005-06-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1601
1602	* src/du.c (time_format): Add `const' attribute.
1603
1604	* src/date.c (show_date): Use puts rather than printf ("%s\n",.
1605
1606	* src/du.c (show_date): Rename local `time_format' so as not to
1607	shadow the file-scoped global by that name.
1608	(show_date): Add a FIXME comment.
1609
1610	* src/du.c: Include hard-locale.h and strftime.h.
1611	(DUINFO_INI, DUINFO_SET, DUINFO_ADD):
1612	Enclose body in `do {...} while (0)', not just `{...}'.
1613	Adjust uses (add semicolons).
1614	Adjust formatting, indentation.
1615	(usage): Tweak formatting to maintain more or less constant indentation.
1616
16172005-06-14  William Brendling  <wbrendling@gmail.com>

1624	* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add umask-check.
1625	* tests/mkdir/perm: Use umask-check.
1626	* tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise, instead of using chmod
1627	as described below.  Problem reported by Kevin Mudrick.
1628
16292005-06-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1630
1631	Make rmdir produce diagnostics like this:
1632	rmdir: /tmp: Permission denied
1633	not like this:
1634	rmdir: `/tmp': Permission denied
1635
1636	* src/rmdir.c: Include "quotearg.h", not "quote.h".
1637	(remove_parents, main): Use quotearg_colon, not quote.
1638
16392005-06-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1640
1641	* tests/cp/cp-parents: Use chmod to work around some hosts with
1642	ACL problems.  Problem reported by Kevin Mudrick.
1643
16442005-06-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1645
1646	* tests/du/deref-args: Use --apparent-size to avoid the vagaries
1647	of counting blocks.  Kevin Mudrick reported that this test would
1648	fail on an nfs-mounted directory where attribute-caching is
1649	turned on.
1650
16512005-06-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1652
1653	* src/tac.c (tac_mem, tac_stdin_to_mem): Remove #if-0'd functions.

1660
16612005-06-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1662
1663	* src/shred.c (usage): Clarify that shred works on an ext3 file
1664	system as long as it's not in data=journal mode.
1665	Tiny change by Mark Melahn.
1666
16672005-06-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1668
1669	* src/hostid.c (main): Don't print fewer than 8 digits, or spurious
1670	leading "f"s.  "f" problem reported by Tim Waugh.
1671	* NEWS: Document this.
1672
16732005-06-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1674
1675	Don't embed `this'-style quotes in format strings.

1685
1686	* src/mv.c: Finally remove support for --version-control=S (-V).
1687	It was deprecated nearly 6 years ago and has been warning
1688	users to switch to --backup=S since fileutils-4.0j.
1689	* src/cp.c, src/install.c, src/ln.c: Likewise.

1701
1702	Improve diagnostics for restore_cwd failure.

1704	restore_cwd failure, and report errno.
1705	(install_file_in_file_parents): Fail if restore_cwd fails and
1706	one of the files is relative.  This fixes a bug (albeit unlikely).
1707	* src/mkdir.c (create_parents): Remove static var (now local to 'main').

1955
1956	* NEWS: `rm -r' now removes all of the files it should, even on
1957	systems with a buggy readdir affecting file systems inaccessible
1958	at configure time.
1959
1960	In some unusual circumstances `rm -r' would fail to remove --
1961	or even consider -- all entries in a directory with more than 254
1962	(SunOS) or 338 (Darwin) entries.  This could cause trouble even on
1963	other types of systems when using an affected file system via e.g.,
1964	NFS.  The underlying cause was a bug in readdir on those systems.
1965	Coreutils-5.2.1 and earlier used a configure-time test designed
1966	to detect precisely those problem systems, but it would detect
1967	the problem and enable remove.c's work-around code only when its
1968	configure-time test was run on a losing file system.  Obviously,
1969	it couldn't detect a problem if the offending file system wasn't
1970	tested or even mounted at coreutils configure time.  Now, rm itself
1971	performs a minimal-cost run-time test to detect the problem.
1972
1973	* src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Define.
1974	(remove_cwd_entries):  When readdir returns NULL for a directory from
1975	which we've removed more than CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD
1976	entries, call rewinddir and then resume the readdir/unlink loop.
1977	(UNLINK_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS): Rename from ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS.

2104
2105	Restore support for usages like "head -1" and "tail -1",
2106	even when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001.
2107	Fix bug with "POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 fold file -3".
2108	join now supports a NUL field separator, e.g., "join -t '\0'".
2109	join now detects and reports incompatible options, e.g.,
2110	"join -t x -t y",
2111	* NEWS: Document this.
2112	* src/date.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
2113	(COMMON_SHORT_OPTIONS): Remove.
2114	(short_options): New constant.
2115	(short_options, usage): -I now always takes an optional arg.
2116	* src/expand.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
2117	(shortopts): New constant.  -DIGIT now always takes an optional arg.
2118	(main): Revamp parsing of -DIGIT to let parse_tab_stops handle it.
2119	Don't complain about -DIGIT.
2120	* src/fold.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.

2133	All uses changed.
2134	(OBSOLETE_LONG_OPTIONS, get_option): Remove.
2135	(string_to_join_field): Remove ERR_MSG_FMT arg; a single format

2139	(add_field_list): Likewise.
2140	(set_join_field): New function.
2141	(enum operand_status): New enum.
2142	(add_file_name): New args OPERAND_STATUS, JOPTION_COUNT,

2144	possibilities with obsolete option parsing.
2145	(main): Use it.  Do not depend on POSIX version.
2146	Check for conflicting options.  Parse obsolete options -j1 and -j2
2147	so that it is a pure extension to POSIX 1003.1-2001.
2148	Allow '-t\0' to specify a NUL tab, stealing the code from 'sort'.
2149	* src/nice.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
2150	(main): Always support -NUM option.
2151	* src/od.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.

2171
2172	* src/nohup.c (main): If getopt fails, exit with status 127,
2173	not status 1.  POSIX requires this.
2174	* NEWS: Document this.
2175
2176	* src/nice.c (main): Report proper program name when getopt finds
2177	trouble.  Problem reported by Behdad Esfahbod.
2178

2180	when the "+x" was being evaluated.
2181	* mkdir.c (main): Compile mode with MODE_MASK_ALL and initial umask.
2182	* mkfifo.c (main): Likewise.

2189	following suggestions from Eric Blake.
2190	* tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add EXEEXT.
2191	* tests/install/basic-1: Undo previous change.
2192	(dd, dd2): New vars, which use $EXEEXT.  All uses of dd and dd2 changed.
2193	* tests/install/trap: Undo previous change.
2194	(sig): New var.  Use it insted of "trap '' CHLD".
2195	Append $EXEEXT to executable name.

2202
22032005-04-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2204
2205	* tests/mv/setup (dot_mount_point): Use stat -L, in case the
2206	directory is actually a symbolic link.  Problem reported by
2207	Eric Blake.
2208
2209	* tests/mv/mv-special-1: Use test -p to test for fifos, rather
2210	than the (incorrect) test -f and the (inadequate) ls.  ls is
2211	inadequate because on some hosts a buggy mv will create a file of
2212	the wrong type (problem reported by Eric Blake).  Skip this test
2213	if test -p doesn't work.
2214
2215	* tests/chmod/setgid: Use numeric group ids, not symbolic group names,
2216	since the latter can have shell metacharacters in them (e.g., spaces).
2217	This follows up to the 2005-01-17 patch, which missed this occurrence.
2218
22192005-04-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2220

2229	../../src/dd.  Problem reported by Eric Blake.
2230
22312005-04-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2232
2233	* src/dd.c: Don't include stat-macros.h directly.  system.h does that.
2234
22352005-04-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2236
2237	Work around a couple of "make check" failures reported for Cygwin

2248
2249	Fix test suite problems reported by Eric Blake on Cygwin.
2250	* tests/mv/mv-special-1: Ignore chatter about when files are removed,
2251	since POSIX doesn't require rename to fail across file systems.
2252	* tests/mv/setup (dot_mount_point): Use stat rather than df, as
2253	it's more reliable.
2254	(other_partition_tmpdir): Remove df from name as that would be
2255	misleading now.
2256
22572005-04-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2258
2259	* src/chown-core.c: Correct typo, fchmod -> fchown, in a comment.

2277	* man/id.x: Likewise.
2278	* src/setuidgid.c (usage): Use "user ID", not "UID", and similarly
2279	for "group ID".
2280	* src/whoami.c (usage, main): Likewise.
2281
2282	Add bulletproofing for cases where stdin, stdout, or stderr are closed.
2283	* src/comm.c: Include stdio-safer.h.
2284	(compare_files): Exit right away on I/O error rather than continuing
2285	and producing confusing output and error messages.
2286	Return void, not int; all callers changed.
2287	Use fopen_safer to avoid confusion with file descriptors.
2288	* src/copy.c: Include unistd-safer.h.
2289	(copy_reg): Use fd_safer.
2290	* src/csplit.c: Include stdio-safer.h.

2311	(wipename): Use fd_safer on directory file descriptor.
2312	(wipefile): Remove special case for /dev/fd/* on older hosts.

2341
2342	* src/dd.c (quit): Define with ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
2343
2344	Now that close_stdout closes standard output unconditionally,
2345	these workarounds for dd and cat are no longer necessary.
2346	* src/dd.c (close_stdout_wrapper): Remove function.
2347	(main): Call atexit with close_stdout, instead.
2348	* src/cat.c (close_stdout_wrapper): Likewise.
2349	Don't close STDOUT_FILENO explicitly; close_stdout does it.
2350
2351	* src/system.h (__attribute__): Readability nit:
2352	Change this:

2419	fix delta_s in this way, since ngettext doesn't support floating-point.
2420	(main): Rewrite to avoid casts.
2421
24222005-04-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

2649
26502005-03-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2651
2652	Both `pr -0' and e.g., `pr -03' would evoke `column count too large'.

2656	Call error (EXIT_FAILURE, ... for an invalid string.
2657	(main): Allocate space for column_count_string using malloc.
2658	Accumulate all old-style column-count digits before converting.

2680
2681	Invoking stat -c FMT with a lone format directive of %s, %f, %h, %s,
2682	could cause a buffer overrun error.
2683	* src/stat.c (print_it): Allocate 2 more bytes, to accommodate our
2684	conversion of the stat %s format string to the longer printf %llu one.
2685	Patch from Guochun Shi.

2698	(coreutils-5.0.1) change.  Reported by Thomas Wolff via Eric Blake.
2699	* src/copy.c (abandon_move): New function, factored out of
2700	copy_internal, now that this code is being used from two places.

2702	whether it's alright to proceed and (usually) overwrite the
2703	destination file.

2709	so format string abuse cannot provoke stack overflow.
2710	(print_long_format): Likewise.
2711
2712	Don't segfault for a long header date string, e.g.,
2713	echo a|pr -D +%9999999A
2714	* src/pr.c (init_header): Use x2nrealloc, rather than alloca.
2715	Don't bother with fixed-sized initial buffer;  always use x*alloc.
2716
2717	* src/pr.c (init_header): Use slightly clearer INT_BUFSIZE_BOUND

2892	* src/Makefile.am (all_programs.list): Strip $(EXEEXT) and remove
2893	duplicates.
2894	* man/Makefile.am (all_programs): Revert previous patch; updated
2895	all_programs.list fixes this.
2896	(.x.1): No need to add $(EXEEXT).
2897
28982005-01-03  Corinna Vinschen  <corinna@vinschen.de>  (tiny change)
2899
2900	* src/system.h: Use S_BLKSIZE value for ST_NBLOCKSIZE where
2901	available.
2902
29032005-01-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2904
2905	* Makefile.maint (v_etc_file): The version string has moved to
2906	version-etc-fsf.c, search that new file, not version-etc.c.
2907
29082005-01-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2909
2910	* tests/group-names: Use numeric group ids, not symbolic group names,
2911	since the latter can have shell metacharacters in them (e.g., spaces).
2912	Problem reported by Eric Blake.
2913	* tests/chgrp/basic: Assume groups are numeric, not symbolic.
2914	* tests/chgrp/deref: Likewise.
2915	* tests/chgrp/posix-H: Likewise.
2916	* tests/chgrp/recurse: Likewise.
2917
29182005-01-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2919
2920	* src/shred.c (isaac_seed) [HAVE_GETHRTIME]: #if-0 this block,
2921	because just calling gethrtime evokes an `illegal instruction'
2922	failure when compiled with Sun's c89 on Solaris 8 and 9.
2923	Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2924
2925	* src/shred.c (isaac_seed) [HAVE_GETHRTIME]: Don't call ISAAC_SEED
2926	twice with the same value of `t'.
2927	Replace nested #if-#else blocks with #if-#elif-#elif chain.
2928
29292005-01-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2930
2931	The test, tests/tail/f-1, failed on powerpc-apple-darwin7.7.0.
2932	* src/tail.c (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Adjust definition also to include
2933	sockets, since that's what you get when reading from a command-line-
2934	supplied pipe on Darwin 7.7.
2935	(IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Define.
2936	(main): Use new IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE rather than simply S_ISFIFO.
2937	Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2938	This same change is also required on NetBSD/sparc-1.5.
2939	Reported by Adrian Bunk.
2940
2941	* src/expr.c (toarith): Rewrite to detect/diagnose integer overflow,
2942	rather than suffering silently.
2943	Before, expr would silently overflow and wrap around:
2944	  $ expr 9223372036854775808 = 0   # $(echo 2^63|bc)
2945	  1
2946	Now it detects the problem and exits nonzero:
2947	  $ ./expr $(echo 2^63|bc) = 0
2948	  ./expr: 9223372036854775808: integer is too large
2949
2950	* tests/chown/separator (id_gn): Exit 77, not 1, for a test-framework
2951	failure, so that doesn't cause `make check' to stop.  Nelson Beebe
2952	reported that this test would fail with the diagnostic,
2953	`cannot find name for group ID 10', on one of his systems.
2954
29552005-01-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2956
2957	* src/test.c (is_int): Don't overflow when evaluating integer
2958	constants.  Before, ./test $(echo 2^64|bc) -eq 0 && echo FAIL
2959	would print `FAIL'.
2960
2961	* tests/Fetish.pm (run_tests): Add code (if-0'd out) to detect
2962	names of temporary files that would clash on 8.3 file systems.
2963	* tests/mk-script (validate): Likewise.
2964
29652005-01-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2966
2967	* tests/dd/skip-seek: Shorten test names to accommodate 8.3 systems.
2968
2969	* tests/tr/Test.pm (repeat-xC): Change test name from
2970	`repeat-Compl', to avoid 8.3 conflict with `repeat-compl'.
2971	Reported by Eric Blake.
2972	(repeat-000): Rename to `repeat-zeros' for the same reason.
2973
29742005-01-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2975
2976	* configure.ac: Update version to 5.3.1.
2977
29782005-01-11  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>
2979
2980	* src/Makefile.am (check-README, check-AUTHORS): Account for $(EXEEXT).
2981	* man/Makefile.am (all_programs): Account for $(EXEEXT).
2982
29832005-01-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2984
2985	* src/unexpand.c (add_tab_stop): Properly diagnose a tabstop list
2986	with decreasing values.
2987
2988	* src/expand.c (main): Likewise.
2989	* src/unexpand.c (main): Check for overflow in tabstop values
2990	specified via the obsolete form.  E.g., now this command fails:
2991	_POSIX2_VERSION=1 ./unexpand -$(echo '2^64+1'|bc)
2992	Before it would act like `_POSIX2_VERSION=1 ./unexpand -1'.
2993	* tests/unexpand/basic-1 (obs-ovflo): New test for this.
2994
29952005-01-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2996
2997	Respond to POSIX interpretations about pathchk -p dated 2005-01-06.
2998	* NEWS: Document the changes.
2999	* doc/coreutils.texi (pathchk invocation): Likewise.
3000	* src/pathchk.c (PORTABILITY_OPTION): New constant.
3001	(longopts, usage, main, validate_file_name):
3002	Add support for new -P option.
3003	Reject empty file names (unless -p is not specified and the
3004	current system allows empty file names).
3005	Change --portability so that is now equivalent to -p -P.
3006	Don't test whether file name is too long, if it is known to exist.
3007	(no_leading_hyphen): New function.
3008	* tests/misc/pathchk1: Add tests for empty file names and
3009	pathchk -P.
3010
30112005-01-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3012
3013	* Version 5.3.0.
3014
3015	`pr --columns=N' was not equivalent to `pr -N' when also using
3016	either -s or -w.
3017
3018	* src/pr.c (main): Set `explicit_columns' for --columns=N,
3019	not just for -N.  This bug has existed since the introduction
3020	of the --columns=N option on 1998-08-15.
3021	* NEWS: Document this.
3022	* tests/pr/Test.pm (test_vector): For each -N test, automatically
3023	create a new test vector using --columns=N.
3024
30252005-01-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
3026
3027	* src/pr.c (main): Check for column count overflow with
3028	usages like "pr -2147483648".
3029
30302005-01-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3031
3032	* src/pr.c (init_fps): Use xnmalloc, rather than xmalloc.
3033
30342005-01-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3035
3036	* README: List the precise HP-UX version numbers that are affected.
3037	Suggestion from Bob Proulx.
3038
3039	* Makefile.maint (sc_changelog): Specify find's `-maxdepth 2'
3040	predicate before `-name ChangeLog' to avoid a harmless warning
3041	from find-4.2.10.
3042
30432005-01-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3044
3045	* tests/help-version: Punt on the uptime test, since it fails when
3046	it can't get boot time, and I don't want that to stop `make check'.
3047
3048	* src/du.c (process_file): Evaluate exclusion rules against
3049	the entire file name, not just the last component.
3050	Reported by Robert Lindgren.
3051	* tests/du/exclude: Test for this.
3052	* NEWS: Document this.
3053
3054	Ensure that tests/Makefile.am's check-root actions stay up to date.
3055	* Makefile.maint (sc_root_tests): New rule.
3056	(syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
3057
30582005-01-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3059
3060	* man/shred.x: Change one-line summary to reflect that shred does
3061	not remove files by default.  Suggestion from Helen Faulkner in
3062	http://bugs.debian.org/288552
3063
3064	* README: Request VERBOSE=yes output when reporting test failures.
3065	Other minor changes.
3066
3067	* tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Update.
3068
30692005-01-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3070
3071	* src/system.h: Undo previous change; we now use Autoconf.
3072
30732005-01-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3074
3075	* tests/stty/row-col-1: Don't set rows or columns to zero, to avoid
3076	a bug in the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl on at least Solaris5.9 systems.  Setting
3077	either (or both) to zero would succeed, but subsequent `stty size'
3078	would say `no size information for this device' due to the ioctl
3079	failing with EINVAL.
3080
3081	* src/system.h: If PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, and PRIxMAX are
3082	not all defined and either ULONG_MAX or ULLONG_MAX is not defined,
3083	then fail at compile-time rather than let tools like od produce
3084	invalid results at run time.
3085
30862004-12-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3087
3088	* src/csplit.c (usage): Say the default names are `xx00, xx01, ...',
3089	not `xx01, xx02, ...'.
3090	Reported by Matt Kraai in http://bugs.debian.org/286605
3091
3092	* tests/misc/split-fail: Avoid spurious failure on x86 Solaris5.9
3093	when using c89.
3094
30952004-12-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3096
3097	* src/split.c (usage): Mention default size.  Suggested by Dan Jacobson.
3098
30992004-12-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3100
3101	* NEWS: Mention that one should eval "`dircolors`" rather than
3102	`dircolors`.
3103
31042004-12-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3105
3106	* tests/mv/hard-link-1: Rearrange to use newer trap-handling code,
3107	so temporary directories aren't left behind upon e.g., interrupt.
3108
31092004-12-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3110
3111	* src/ls.c (print_dir): Use "%s: not listing already-listed
3112	directory", not "not listing already-listed directory: %s", to
3113	format already-listed directories, to be consistent with other
3114	diagnostics involving file names and colons.
3115
31162004-12-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3117
3118	* src/Makefile.am (__LDADD): Define, so that building `[' on
3119	Solaris still uses the -lgen library that it requires in order
3120	to get a definition of eaccess.
3121
31222004-12-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3123
3124	tac would exit immediately upon I/O or temp-file creation failure.
3125	Now it continues on, processing any remaining command line arguments.
3126
3127	* src/tac.c: Include quotearg.h.
3128	Use quotearg_colon in most diagnostics.
3129	(copy_to_temp): Rewrite not to exit upon I/O or temp-file-creation
3130	failure.  Before, this command (with /full/tmp being a full partition)
3131	  TMPDIR=/full/tmp ./tac /proc/modules tac.c
3132	would exit immediately upon the write error while trying to copy
3133	non-seekable /proc/modules to the full partition.  Now it still
3134	reports the failure but continues on with the remaining file.
3135	(tac_nonseekable): Return false also if copy_to_temp fails.
3136	[DONT_UNLINK_WHILE_OPEN]: Add a FIXME comment explaining that
3137	using atexit like this is wrong.
3138	* NEWS: Document this.
3139	* tests/misc/tac-continue: New test for this.
3140	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tac-continue.
3141
3142	* tests/chown/basic: Add a few more tests.
3143
31442004-12-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3145
3146	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Change arg name to be command_line_arg
3147	rather than explicit_arg, for consistency with copy.c.
3148	(extract_dirs_from_files): Remove ignore_dot_and_dot_dot arg, since
3149	it is deducible from dirname arg.  All callers changed.
3150	(extract_dirs_from_files, print_dir, queue_directory):
3151	Add command_line_arg arg.  All callers changed.
3152	(struct pending): Add command_line_arg member.
3153	(main): Use NULL rather than 0 when appropriate.
3154	(set_exit_status, file_failure): New functions.
3155	(queue_directory): Store command_line_arg into new structure.
3156	(print_dir, gobble_file, get_link_name):
3157	Use file_failure to report problems in accessing files,
3158	so that the exit status is set consistently.
3159	(print_dir): Simplify readdir failure code yet again.
3160	If closedir fails, report "closing directory" rather than "reading
3161	directory" failure.
3162	(xstrcoll): Use set_exit_status to set status on failure.
3163	* tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): This now exits with status 2,
3164	not status 1.
3165
31662004-12-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3167
3168	Avoid a race condition vulnerability in chown, when used with
3169	--from=O:G and without the (-h) --no-dereference option.
3170	* src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown): New function.
3171	(change_file_owner): Call it.
3172	Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
3173	* NEWS: Mention this.
3174
31752004-12-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3176
3177	* ls now exits with status 1 on minor problems, 2 if serious trouble.
3178	* NEWS: Document this.
3179	* src/ls.c (LS_MINOR_PROBLEM, LS_FAILURE): New constants.
3180	All uses of EXIT_FAILURE replaced with LS_FAILURE, unless
3181	specified below.
3182	(main): Initialize exit failure to LS_FAILURE.
3183	(print_dir, gobble_file, get_link_name, xstrcoll):
3184	Set exit status to LS_MINOR_PROBLEM if the failure is minor.
3185	(print_dir): Do not give up on entire directory merely because readdir
3186	returns EOVERFLOW.
3187	(usage): Explain exit status.
3188	* tests/help-version: ls and variants now exit with status 2
3189	on serious trouble.
3190
31912004-12-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3192
3193	* NEWS: Document new UTC+HH:MM date syntax, and put date changes
3194	together.
3195
31962004-12-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3197
3198	* src/factor.c (factor): Don't list 1 as a factor of 1.
3199	Problem reported by Thomas Folz-Donahue.
3200
32012004-12-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3202
3203	* tests/du/files0-from: Sanitize environment.
3204	Otherwise, e.g., BLOCKSIZE=k would cause a failure, and that
3205	setting is the default (exported from /etc/profile) on at least one
3206	NetBSD 1.6 system.
3207	* tests/du/no-deref: Likewise.
3208	* tests/cp/symlink-slash: Likewise.
3209	* tests/ls/symlink-slash: Likewise
3210
32112004-12-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3212
3213	* tests/tail/Test.pm (err-6) ["tail -c"]: Avoid test failure when
3214	_POSIX2_VERSION=199209 is in the environment, or when building on
3215	e.g., OpenBSD 3.2.
3216
32172004-12-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3218
3219	* NEWS: Mention cut's new --complement option.
3220
32212004-10-01  Paolo Bonzini  <bonzini@gnu.org>
3222
3223	* cut.c (complement, COMPLEMENT_OPTION): New.
3224	(longopts): Add --complement.
3225	(usage): Say not that -b, -c, and -f `print' fields,
3226	but rather that they `select' fields for printing.
3227	Describe the new --complement option.
3228	(mark_range_start): Extracted from set_fields.
3229	(print_kth): Support --complement.
3230	(compare_ranges): New function.
3231	(set_fields): Rewrite the part that populates range_start_ht,
3232	merging it with the part that populates printable_field.
3233	(main): Handle --complement.
3234
32352004-12-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3236
3237	* src/tail.c (tail_file): Set errnum to -1 if the initial "tail"
3238	failed.  This works around an assertion failure reported by
3239	Roberto Nibali in:
3240	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-12/msg00012.html
3241
32422004-12-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3243
3244	With using --color and with LS_COLORS saying not to color
3245	executables, don't stat every file.
3246	* src/ls.c (is_colored): New function.
3247	(gobble_file): Use it.
3248	(main): Use it here, in place of too-strict tests against NULL:
3249	if either ORPHAN or MISSING was set to 0 from LS_COLORS, the
3250	old test would fail.
3251
32522004-12-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3253
3254	* src/comm.c (compare_files): Assume setlocale exists.
3255	* src/join.c (keycmp): Likewise.
3256	* src/seq.c (decimal_point): Treat like sort.  Now char.
3257	All uses changed.
3258	(main): Assume localeconv exists.  Use same code as sort.
3259	* src/sort.c (C_DECIMAL_POINT): Remove.  Use changed to '.'.
3260	Assume setlocale exists.
3261	(thousands_sep): Renamed from th_sep.
3262	(IS_THOUSANDS_SEP): Remove.  All uses replaced by comparisons.
3263	(NONZERO): Parenthesize use of arg.
3264	(numcompare): Avoid duplicate loads.  Use ISDIGIT as boolean, for
3265	consistency.  Avoid unnecessary negation by reversing
3266	fraccompare args.
3267	(main): Rewrite localeconv call to match seq.c.
3268	* src/system.h: Assume locale.h exists.
3269	(HAVE_SETLOCALE): Remove.
3270	* src/uniq.c (different): Assume setlocale exists.
3271
3272	* src/ls.c (sort_files): Minor cleanup.  Remove an unnecessary
3273	'volatile' on a local variable.  Rewrite to avoid unnecessary
3274	double-assignment to 'func' in the usual case where strcoll does
3275	not fail.
3276
32772004-11-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3278
3279	* src/pinky.c (gethostname): Remove decl.
3280	(scan_entries): Use IS_USER_PROCESS instead of by-hand code.
3281	* src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Use IS_USER_PROCESS and
3282	UT_TYPE_BOOT_TIME instead of by-hand code.
3283	* src/users.c (list_entries_users): Use IS_USER_PROCESS
3284	instead of by-hand code.
3285	* src/who.c (USER_PROCESS, RUN_LVL, INIT_PROCESS, LOGIN_PROCESS,
3286	DEAD_PROCESS, BOOT_TIME, NEW_TIME, UT_TYPE_UNDEF, UT_TYPE): Remove.
3287	(IS_USER_PROCESS): Move to ../lib/readutmp.h.
3288	(UT_TYPE_RUN_LVL, UT_TYPE_INIT_PROCESS, UT_TYPE_LOGIN_PROCESS,
3289	UT_TYPE_DEAD_PROCESS, UT_TYPE_NEW_TIME): New macros.
3290	(gethostname): Remove decl.
3291	(list_entries_who, scan_entries): Use the new macros defined above,
3292	for consistency with pinky, uptime, and users.
3293
32942004-11-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3295
3296	Fix problem reported by Scott S. Tinsley for HP-UX 11.11 using
3297	HP's ANSI C compiler.  Declaring int functions causes warnings on
3298	some modern systems and shouldn't be needed to compile on ancient
3299	ones.
3300	* src/copy.h (stat, lstat, rename): Remove decls.
3301	* src/install.c (stat): Remove decl.
3302	* src/ln.c (link, symlink): Remove decls.
3303
33042004-11-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3305
3306	* man/help2man: Import help2man-1.35.1.
3307	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Remove now-unnecessary use of
3308	locally-added --program-name=NAME option.  Now, help2man gets
3309	the name from the [NAME] section (i.e. from our .x file).
3310	* man/install.x: Use `install', not `ginstall' in the one-line
3311	description.  Reported by Brendan O'Dea.
3312	* man/sha1sum.x: Use `sha1sum', not `shasum'.

3315
3316	Since the changes of 2004-05-22, the u.saved_cwd member at
3317	the bottom of the active-directory stack was no longer
3318	strictly necessary.  This change removes that member and uses
3319	the newer cwd_state parameter for the final restore_cwd.
3320
3321	* src/remove.c (struct AD_ent) [u]: Remove now-unnecessary union.
3322	[dev_ino]: Rename from `a'.
3323	(AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a parameter to play the role of just-removed
3324	bottom-of-stack cwd-state member.
3325	(AD_pop_and_chdir): No longer return boolean.  Adjust caller.
3326	(AD_push_initial): Remove CWD parameter.  Adjust caller.
3327
33282004-11-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3329
3330	Minor performance improvements and cleanups for "touch".
3331	* src/touch.c (posix_date): Remove; not needed as a static var.
3332	All uses rewritten.
3333	(touch): Use new futimens function to operate more efficiently
3334	in some cases.  Don't stat/fstat existing file when
3335	(!amtime_now && change_times == (CH_ATIME | CH_MTIME)); the
3336	old time stamps aren't needed in that case.
3337	(main): change_times is int, not bool.  Simplify test for
3338	change_times.
3339
33402004-11-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3341
3342	* src/install.c (usage): Avoid usage that runs afoul of Docbook
3343	translation.  Problem reported by Eric S. Raymond.
3344
3345	Restore dd's noctty flag, reverting the change of 2004-04-08.
3346	POSIX does not allow "dd" to use O_NOCTTY by default.
3347	* NEWS: Add noctty flag to dd.
3348	* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Likewise.
3349	* src/dd.c (flags, usage, main): Likewise.
3350

3352
3353	* src/ls.c (usage): Clarified description of --no-group (-G),
3354	--human-readable (-h), --inode (-i), --size (-s), --time,
3355	and --time-style.
3356
33572004-11-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3358

3360	Tweak indentation so that help2man creates better nroff.
3361	Reported by Dan Jacobson.
3362
3363	* src/uniq.c (check_file): Don't check stdout for errors here.
3364
3365	* src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Update comment to match reality.
3366
33672004-11-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3368
3369	* src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Correct the comment: this function
3370	constructs the directory name.  The caller prints it.
3371
33722004-11-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3373
3374	* src/stat.c (STATFS): New macro, for portability to Solaris 9.
3375	(do_statfs): Use it.
3376
3377	* src/basename.c, src/chroot.c, src/cksum.c, src/dd.c, src/dirname.c,
3378	src/factor.c, src/hostid.c, src/hostname.c, src/link.c, src/logname.c,

3380	src/sync.c, src/tsort.c, src/unlink.c, src/uptime.c, src/users.c,
3381	src/whoami.c, src/yes.c (main): Use getopt_long rather than getopt.
3382	* src/readlink.c (main): argv is not const.
3383
3384	* src/cut.c (usage): Improve documentation along the lines suggested
3385	by Debian 5.2.1-2.
3386	* src/echo.c (usage): Likewise.
3387	* src/expr.c (usage): Likewise.
3388
3389	* src/dircolors.hin: Add putty, screen-bce.
3390
3391	* src/pinky.c (print_entry): Fix memory leak.
3392	* src/who.c (print_user): Likewise.

3398	C_LCASE, C_UCASE, C_SWAB, C_NOERROR, C_NOTRUNC, C_SYNC, C_TWOBUFS,
3399	C_NOCREAT, C_EXCL, C_FDATASYNC, C_FSYNC): Now constants, not
3400	macros.
3401	(STATUS_NOXFER, statuses): New constants.
3402	(usage, print_stats, scanargs): Add support for status=noxfer.
3403	(usage): Update status output to match new behavior.
3404	(print_stats): Always output complete byte count.
3405	Put space between numbers and units, as SI requires.
3406	Use ngettext so that i18n can use plurals for "byte" and "second".
3407	Don't multiply by 1e-9 (inexact); divide by 1e9 (which is exact).
3408	(iflag_error_msgid, oflag_error_msgid): Remove; replace uses by
3409	the string.
3410	* tests/dd/skip-seek (@Tests): Use status=noxfer to avoid
3411	problems with regression testing.
3412
34132004-11-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3414
3415	* NEWS: dd now outputs total bytes, seconds, and bytes per second.
3416	* src/Makefile.am (dd_LDADD): Add $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
3417	* src/dd.c: Include "human.h".
3418	(w_bytes, start_time): New vars.
3419	(usage): Document new I/O statistics output
3420	(print_stats): Output new I/O statistics.
3421	(cleanup): Do statistics after closing stdin and stdout, so that
3422	the times are more accurate.
3423	(write_output, dd_copy): Count output bytes.
3424	(main): Get initial value of clock.
3425
34262004-11-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3427
3428	Backslash-escape `-'s in email addresses, so that they are
3429	rendered properly in UTF-locales.
3430	* man/help2man (escape_hyphens): New function.
3431	(main): Call it on email addresses.
3432
3433	* src/sort.c (zaptemp): Mark new diagnostic for translation.
3434
3435	* tests/misc/close-stdout: New file.  Test today's closeout.c change.
3436	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add close-stdout.
3437
34382004-11-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3439
3440	* src/test.c (usage): Put the description of `[-n] STRING'
3441	on two lines, one for `-n STRING' and one for `STRING' so that
3442	help2man properly escapes the `-'.  Otherwise, the hyphen is
3443	rendered inappropriately in UTF-8 locales.
3444	Reported by Uwe Zeisberger in http://bugs.debian.org/281069.
3445
34462004-11-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3447
3448	* NEWS: Document the following changes.
3449
3450	* src/sort.c: Avoid O(N**2) behavior when there are many temporary
3451	files.
3452	(temptail): New variable, so that we can easily append to list.
3453	(create_temp_file): Create new files at end of list, so that
3454	searching the list has O(N*NMERGE) behavior instead of O(N**2).
3455	(zaptemp): Update temptail if needed.
3456	(mergefps, merge): Accept new arg that counts temp files, and keep it
3457	up to date as we create and remove temporaries.  This is for
3458	efficiency, so that we don't call zaptemp so often.
3459	All callers changed.
3460	(sort): Don't create array in reverse order, since the list of
3461	temporaries is now in the correct order.
3462
3463	(zaptemp): Protect against race condition: if 'sort' is
3464	interrupted in the middle of zaptemp, it might unlink the
3465	temporary file twice, and the second time this happens the file
3466	might already have been created by some other process.
3467
3468	(zaptemp): Warn if a temporary file is not removed.
3469
3470	(create_temp_file): Use offsetof for clarity.
3471	(die): Move it up earlier, to clean up the code a bit.
3472
3473	* src/pr.c (strtoumax): Declare if not declared.
3474	(skip_to_page, first_page_number, last_page_number, page_number,
3475	first_last_page, print_header):
3476	Use uintmax_t for page numbers.
3477	(first_last_page): Remove unnecessary forward declaration.
3478	Do not modify arg (it is now a const pointer).
3479	Return a true if successful, false (without print a diagnostic)
3480	otherwise.
3481	(main): If +XXX does not specify a valid page range, treat it
3482	as a file name.  This follows the response to Open Group XCU ERN 41
3483	<http://www.opengroup.org/sophocles/show_mail.tpl?source=L&listname=austin-group-l&id=7717>,
3484	which says the behavior is allowed.
3485	(skip_to_page): When starting page number exceeds page count,
3486	print both numbers in the diagnostic.
3487	(print_header): Detect page number overflow.
3488
34892004-11-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3490
3491	* src/uname.c [__APPLE__]: Include <mach/machine.h> and <mach-o/arch.h>.
3492	(main) [__APPLE__]: Get the processor type via syscall rather than
3493	hard-coding "powerpc".  From Toby Peterson.
3494
3495	* src/sort.c (merge): Remove declarations of now-unused variables.
3496
34972004-11-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3498
3499	* src/sort.c (first_same_file): Remove.  Move most of the code to....
3500	(avoid_trashing_input): New function.
3501	(merge): Avoid some silly merges, e.g., copying a single file to
3502	a temporary file when there are exactly 17 input files to merge.
3503	Take a count of temporary files rather than a max_merge arg.
3504	All uses changed.
3505
35062004-11-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3507
3508	* src/sort.c (xfclose): Don't close stdout here (just flush it),
3509	since close_stdout now closes stdout unconditionally.
3510
35112004-11-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3512
3513	* src/sort.c (inittables, sort_buffer_size, getmonth, mergefps,
3514	first_same_file, merge, sort, main): Use size_t for indexes to arrays.
3515	This fixes some unlikely havoc-wreaking bugs (e.g., more than INT_MAX
3516	temporary files).
3517	(getmonth, keycompare, compare): Rewrite to avoid need for alloca,
3518	thus avoiding unchecked stack overflow in some cases.  As a side
3519	effect this improve the performance of "sort -M" by a factor of 4
3520	on my benchmarks.
3521
35222004-11-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3523
3524	* src/stty.c: Include "vasprintf.h" since we use vasprintf now.
3525
3526	* src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): Don't assume \? works in a sed
3527	expression; it's not portable.  Problem reported by Albert Chin.
3528	Don't invoke a program more than once.
3529	* src/groups.sh (version): New variable, containing author info,
3530	for benefit of AUTHORS check.  Use it when acting on --version option.
3531	* AUTHORS: Remove duplicate lines.  Remove bogus "chroot:"
3532	in groups line.
3533
3534	* src/system.h: Don't #define and #undef getopt around <stdlib.h>,
3535	as this breaks the new regime that does "#define getopt rpl_getopt".
3536	Problem reported by Albert Chin for Solaris 9 with Sun cc in:
3537	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2004-11/msg00019.html
3538	I suppose this may cause problems on ancient hosts with
3539	incompatible getopt declarations, but we'll cross that bridge if
3540	the problem gets reported to us by someone who can test the fix.
3541
35422004-11-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3543
3544	* src/tac.c: quote(...) file names in diagnostics.
3545
35462004-10-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3547
3548	* NEWS: Document getdate changes.
3549
35502004-10-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3551
3552	* src/tac.c (tac_file): Remove temporary prototype and move this
3553	function `down' so that it precedes definition of tac_nonseekable.
3554
3555	`tac /proc/modules' would print nothing
3556	Reported by Harald Dunkel in http://bugs.debian.org/278604.
3557
3558	* src/tac.c (copy_to_temp): Renamed from save_stdin, since
3559	now it copies a general file descriptor, not just stdin.
3560	(tac_nonseekable): Renamed/adapted from tac_stdin.
3561	(tac_file): Get fd via `open' directly rather than via fopen/fileno,
3562	since we never used the stream.  Perform "-" to stdin mapping here
3563	rather than in main.  Determine whether a file is seekable,
3564	by trying to `lseek' to its end, and dispatch to tac_seekable or
3565	tac_nonseekable accordingly.
3566	(main): Rewrite argument handling now that it uses only tac_file.
3567	* NEWS: Mention it here.
3568
35692004-10-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3570
3571	* tests/mv/leak-fd: New file.
3572	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3573	* tests/rm/dot-rel: New file.
3574	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3575
3576	Correct my patch of 2004-10-18.
3577	* src/remove.c (rm): Destroy the saved_cwd here (via cwd_state),
3578	if necessary, not in remove_dir.  Otherwise, removing multiple
3579	`.'-relative nonempty directories no longer worked.
3580
35812004-10-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3582
3583	* src/fmt.c (usage): Improve description of --prefix.
3584	Problem reported by Edward Welbourne.
3585
3586	* man/uniq.x: Change summary so that it doesn't imply that
3587	uniq writes to its input file.  Problem reported by
3588	Dan Jacobson.
3589
35902004-10-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3591
3592	Plug a leak that would cause a cross-device mv to fail when
3593	operating on too many command-line-specified nonempty directories.
3594	* src/remove.c (remove_dir): Destroy the `struct saved_cwd' on the
3595	top of the stack before returning.  This usually closes the file
3596	descriptor that was used to return to the original working directory.
3597	Reported by Cyril Bouthors in
3598	http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/3048
3599	* NEWS: Mention it here.
3600
3601	* src/pathchk.c (validate_file_name): Give a more descriptive
3602	diagnostic when pathconf fails.  This also avoids an unwarranted
3603	warning from gcc-3.3.5 about a format not being a string literal.
3604
3605	* src/sleep.c (main): Remove declaration of unused local, c.
3606	* src/printenv.c (main): Likewise.
3607	* src/logname.c (main): Likewise.
3608	* src/uptime.c (main): Likewise, for optc.
3609	* src/tsort.c (main): Likewise, for opt.
3610
36112004-10-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3612
3613	* AUTHORS: Add self to pathchk.
3614	* src/pathchk.c (AUTHORS): Add self.
3615	Change "path" to "file name" whenever possible.
3616	Remove usage comment, as it was a duplication of the code or doc.
3617	Include <wchar.h> if available.
3618	(mbrlen, mbstate_t) [! (HAVE_MBRLEN && HAVE_MBSTATE_T)]: Define.
3619	(NEED_PATHCONF_WRAPPER, PATH_MAX, PATH_MAX_FOR, NAME_MAX,
3620	pathconf_wrapper, portable_chars, dir_ok): Remove.
3621	(NAME_MAX_MINIMUM, PATH_MAX_MINIMUM): New macros.
3622	(pathconf, _PC_NAME_MAX, _PC_PATH_MAX): Define if nonexistent.
3623	(portable_chars_only): New arg FILELEN.
3624	Don't assume ASCII; we might be on an EBCDIC host.
3625	Don't assume unibyte locale in diagnostic.
3626	(component_start, component_len): New functions.
3627	(validate_file_name): Renamed from validate_path.  All uses changed.
3628	Pretty much a complete rewrite.
3629	Don't make copy of file arg.  Always append trailing slash to
3630	pathconf arg, just in case it's a symlink (this is pure paranoia;
3631	we don't know of any hosts where the trailing slash is required).
3632	Use size_t instead of long int when possible.
3633	Avoid need to call pathconf in most practical cases.
3634	Don't use euidaccess several times to test searchability;
3635	just use lstat once.  Reword diagnostic to put the (often very long)
3636	file names last.
3637
36382004-10-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3639
3640	* src/printf.c (usage): Mention Unicode, and use H for hex digits.
3641
36422004-10-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3643

3654
36552004-10-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3656
3657	* src/ls.c (ignore_mode): Renamed from ignore, to avoid shadowing
3658	problems.  All uses changed.
3659
36602004-10-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3661
3662	* .x-sc_trailing_blank: Add an exclusion for config/texinfo.tex,
3663	since Karl says its trailing blanks are there to stay :-)
3664
36652004-10-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3666
3667	* src/expr.c (NEW, OLD): Remove, partly to avoid
3668	reference to obsolescent macro XMALLOC.
3669	All uses replaced by xmalloc and free.
3670
36712004-09-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3672
3673	* src/tail.c (usage): Clarify: --retry works only with --follow=name.
3674	Reported by Nik A. Melchior in http://bugs.debian.org/273781.
3675
36762004-09-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3677
3678	* src/od.c (format_address_paren): c is optional, so don't output
3679	it if it's '\0'.
3680
36812004-09-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3682
3683	Add support for ls --hide.  Idea suggested by Bardur Arantsson.
3684	* NEWS: Document this.
3685	* src/ls.c (file_ignored): Renamed from file_interesting, with
3686	inverted return value.  Accept the file name, not a struct dirent *.
3687	All uses changed.  Avoid the expense of calling fnmatch if the
3688	file is ignorable due to leading '.'.
3689	(all_files, really_all_files): Removed; replaced by:
3690	(ignore): New variable.  All uses changed.
3691	(IGNORE_DEFAULT, IGNORE_DOT_AND_DOTDOT, IGNORE_MINIMAL, HIDE_OPTION):
3692	New constants.
3693	(hide_patterns): New variable.
3694	(long_options, decode_switches, file_ignored, usage):
3695	Add support for --hide.
3696	(patterns_match): New function.
3697	(usage): Replace "hide" with "ignore" in explanation, to avoid
3698	confusion.
3699
37002004-09-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3701
3702	* src/ls.c (gobble_file, print_long_format): Don't assume that
3703	human-readable output has a byte count equal to its column width;
3704	this isn't always true in locales where the radix character is not
3705	'.' or ','.
3706	(format_user_or_group): Revamp code to match the above fix;
3707	this avoids the (very faint) possibility of integer overflow.
3708
37092004-09-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3710
3711	* NEWS: Mention that "chmod -r -w x" now works as expected.

3718	* Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use --types=AFGM option so that
3719	it lists only cvs-controlled regular files.
3720
3721	* src/csplit.c (xalloc_die): Declare to be `extern', not `static'
3722	to avoid a warning from gcc-3.4.1.  Reported by Paul Eggert.

3728	sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4, sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names,
3729	sc_trailing_blank, po-check): Use it instead of the
3730	nonstandard "cvsu --list".
3731
3732	* src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Bring back support
3733	for obsolete option followed by non-obsolete, or by more
3734	than one file.  When obsolete, conform to SUSv2 rather than
3735	original POSIX 1003.2-1992, as SUSv2 corrected the case of
3736	"tail -c".  Add support for the SUSv2 "b" modifier.
3737	* NEWS: Mention the above.
3738	* tests/tail/Test.pm: New test case obs-b to check the above.

3767
3768	* src/ls.c (decode_switches): Don't compare a short value

38882004-09-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3889
3890	* man/rm.x: Say "the response is affirmative" rather than "the
3891	response begins with y or Y", so that the documentation is

3893
38942004-09-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

3902	* NEWS: Document this.
3903

3916	(scanargs): Don't mess with argc, argv; getopt_long handles this now.
3917	Say "operands" for operands, not "options".
3918	(main): Use getopt_long, so that "dd --" works as POSIX requires.
3919	* tests/dd/misc: Check for "dd --".
3920
3921	* src/chroot.c (main): Reject unknown options instead of
3922	interpreting them as a directory to chroot to.
3923
3924	* src/cksum.c: Remove obsolete comment about POSIX 1003.2/D11.2.
3925	The current standard (POSIX 1003.1-2004) is correct.
3926	(crc_remainder) [defined CRCTAB]: Renamed from "remainder" to avoid
3927	collision with builtin function.
3928	(main) [defined CRCTAB]: Output in lowercase hexadecimal, and
3929	output the first 0 as 8 digits, to make it easier to compare to
3930	the text of the standard.  Output crctab to be a const array.
3931	(crctab): Use result of above changes.
3932	(long_options): Remove; not needed if empty.
3933	(main): getopt_long can't return 0 here, so simplify the code.
3934
39352004-09-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3936
3937	* src/Makefile.am (localedir.h): Don't redirect directly to target.
3938
39392004-09-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3940
3941	* src/id.c (print_full_info): Don't exit with failure status simply
3942	because a user or group number can't be turned into a name.
3943	Problem reported by Felipe Kellermann in:
3944	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-09/msg00081.html

3950
39512004-09-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3952
3953	* NEWS: "tail" now handles obscure POSIX 1003.2-1992 cases better.
3954	* src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Renamed from
3955	parse_obsolescent_option, since the options are obsolete now.
3956	Remove bool *arg; just exit if there's an error.  Revamp to follow
3957	POSIX 1003.2-1992 more precisely, to handle cases like "tail -
3958	file" and "tail -10 -- file" correctly when we are conforming to
3959	the older standard.
3960	(main): Adjust to this change.
3961	* tests/tail/Test.pm (test_vector): minus-* requires
3962	_POSIX2_VERSION=199209 now, to work correctly if there is
3963	an input file.  err-1 and err-3 no longer errors if there
3964	is another file.
3965
39662004-09-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3967
3968	* src/test.c (usage): Document -r, -w, -x more carefully.

3976	Sort the descriptions.
3977	* src/tr.c (main): Don't reorder options.

3979
39802004-09-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3981
3982	* src/touch.c (main): Fix POSIX-conformance bug: "touch --
3983	MMDDhhmm file" must be treated like "touch MMDDhhmm file" when
3984	conforming to pre-2001 POSIX.
3985	* NEWS: Document this.
3986	* tests/touch/obsolescent: Test for this bug.  Also, set
3987	_POSIX2_VERSION=199209 and POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 so that it's
3988	a better test for obsolescent features.
3989
3990	* src/sort.c (main): Emulate Solaris 8 and 9 "sort -y", so that
3991	"sort -y abc" is like "sort abc" whereas "sort -y 100" is like
3992	plain "sort".
3993
3994	* src/od.c: Several changes for POSIX and FreeBSD compatibility.
3995	(COMMON_SHORT_OPTIONS): Add -B, -D, -e, -F, -H, -I, -L, -O, -s, -X.
3996	(long_options, main): --strings is now -S, not -s.
3997	(usage): Reflect the usage changes.
3998	(parse_old_offset): Do not issue a diagnostic on failure;
3999	callers now do this as necessary.
4000	(main): Support POSIX syntax.  Remove unused case 0 from getopt_long.
4001	Add support for new short options (many undocumented) for
4002	compatibility with FreeBSD.  Remove FIXME for -s; it's now
4003	POSIX-compatible.  Default format is now oS, not o2.
4004	* NEWS: Describe the above.
4005
40062004-09-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4007
4008	* src/stty.c (valid_options): Remove.

4013	Simplify option-parsing code a tad.
4014	* tests/stty/basic-1: Check for the fixed bugs.
4015
40162004-09-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4017
4018	* src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_TYPE): Fix typo that prevented

4031	incompatible options, to improve diagnostics.
4032	(MX): Remove.
4033	(apply_translations): Move checks for incompatible options
4034	to scanargs, so that they're done consistently.
4035
40362004-09-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4037
4038	Output correct errno-related diagnostic on "paste" I/O errors.
4039	* src/paste.c (write_error, xputchar): New functions.
4040	(paste_parallel): Use correct errno value after input error.
4041	(paste_parallel, paste_serial): Report errno value after output error.
4042
4043	Port to diet libc.  Problem reported by Felix von Leitner in:
4044	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-08/msg00171.html
4045	* src/paste.c (dummy_closed, CLOSED, dummy_endlist, ENDLIST): Remove;
4046	it's not portable C to assume FILE is a complete type.
4047	(paste_parallel): Use index test instead of ENDLIST, and NULL
4048	instead of CLOSED.
4049
40502004-08-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4051
4052	POSIX-conformance fixes for "expand" and "unexpand".
4053	Also, consistently use "tab stop" rather than "tabstop".
4054	* NEWS: Document fixes.
4055	* src/expand.c: Revamp to resemble the new unexpand.c better.
4056	(usage): -i does not convert tabs after non-tabs.
4057	(add_tab_stop): Renamed from add_tabstop.  All uses changed.
4058	(parse_tab_stop): Renamed from parse_tabstop.  All uses changed.

4060	(next_file, main): Check fclose against 0, not EOF.
4061	(expand): Remove unnecessary casts.
4062	Add another loop nesting level, for lines, so that per-line variables
4063	are initialized cleanly.
4064	Revamp tab checking.  Check for write error immediately, rather
4065	than just once at the end of the program.
4066	* src/unexpand.c: Lkewise (for the expand.c changes).
4067	(TAB_STOP_SENTINEL): Remove.
4068	(tab_size): Now size_t, not uintmax_t, since we need to store
4069	the sequences of blanks.

4071	(usage): Say "blank" where POSIX requires this.
4072	(add_tab_stop): Calculate maximum column width.

4077	Add blanks-1 through blanks-13.
4078
40792004-08-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4080
4081	* NEWS: "chown : file", "chown '' file", and "chgrp '' file" now
4082	succeed without changing the uid and gid, like FreeBSD.
4083	* src/chgrp.c (parse_group): Return gid_t rather than storing it
4084	through a pointer.  Treat "chgrp '' file" as a no-op change,
4085	as FreeBSD does.
4086	(main): Set chopt.group_name to NULL if the group is the empty
4087	string.
4088	* src/chown-core.c (describe_change): Describe changes to -1:-1
4089	without using "to OWNERSHIP" phrase.
4090	* src/chown.c (usage): "chown '' file" is now allowed.
4091	(main): Do not set user name to the empty string if the group
4092	name is null.
4093	* tests/chgrp/basic: Test "chgrp '' file".
4094	* tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add separator.
4095	* tests/chown/separator: New file, partly taken from
4096	Dmitry V. Levin's suggestion in

41082004-08-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4109
4110	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): When preserving links, unlink
4111	a destination with link count greater than one.  This is so
4112	that commands like "cp -a" don't get confused when copying into
4113	a destination that already contains many hard links.  Problem
4114	reported by Tim Waugh in:
4115	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-08/msg00053.html

4140
4141	* src/shred.c (wipename): Work even if the directory is writeable

4505	* tests/fmt/basic (wide-1, wide-2, bad-suffix): Adjust to above
4506	changes.
4507
4508	* src/expand.c (convert_entire_line, have_read_stdin, parse_tabstops,
4509	next_file, expand, main):
4510	Use bool for booleans.
4511	(tab_size, tab_list, add_tabstop, parse_tabstops, validate_tabstops,
4512	expand, main):
4513	Use uintmax_t for column counts.
4514	(add_tabstop): Don't reserve -1 (now UINTMAX_MAX) as a special value.
4515	All callers changed.
4516	(parse_tabstops): Don't pass a negative char to isblank.
4517	Avoid memory leak with large tab stops.
4518	(validate_tabstops, expand): Don't assume number of tab stops is
4519	<= INT_MAX.
4520	(next_file, main): Use EXIT_SUCCESS/EXIT_FAILURE rather than 0/1 when
4521	storing values into exit_status.
4522	(expand): Use same pattern as unexpand for reading chars.
4523	Report an error when input line is too long, instead of silently
4524	screwing up.  Do not mishandle tab stops when backspacing left
4525	over start of line.
4526
4527	* src/dircolors.c (have_read_stdin, append_quoted,
4528	dc_parse_stream, dc_parse_file, main): Use bool for booleans.
4529	(dc_parse_stream): Use enum for state, rather than int.
4530	Use ssize_t to store getline result.
4531
4532	* src/dd.c (translation_needed, parse_integer, scanargs,
4533	apply_translations, char_is_saved, swab_buffer, skip_via_lseek):
4534	Use bool for booleans.
4535	(translate_buffer): Use to_uchar rather than a cast.
4536	(swab_buffer, copy_simple, copy_with_unblock):
4537	Use size_t for sizes.
4538
4539	* src/seq.c (equal_width, valid_format, main): Use bool for booleans.
4540	* src/sleep.c (apply_suffix): Likewise.
4541	* src/tail.c (struct File_spec, reopen_inaccessible_files, count_lines,
4542	forever, from_start, print_headers, have_read_stdin, valid_file_spec,
4543	write_header, file_lines, pipe_lines, pipe_bytes, recheck,
4544	tail_forever, tail_bytes, tail_lines, tail, tail_file,
4545	parse_obsolescent_option, parse_options, main): Likewise.
4546	* src/sleep.c (apply_suffix): Invert sense of result.
4547	Use int (not unsigned int) for multiplier, as this generates better
4548	code with some compilers.  Simplify code a bit.
4549	* src/tail.c (struct File_spec, max_n_unchanged_stats_between_opens,
4550	parse_options): Use uintmax_t, not unsigned int or unsigned long int,
4551	for state counters.
4552	(tail_bytes, tail_lines): Redo test of return value (-1, 0, 1) to
4553	make it a bit clearer.
4554
4555	* src/hostname.c: Include "xgethostname.h".
4556	(xgethostname): Remove decl; xgethostname.h has it.
4557	(sethostname) [!defined(HAVE_SETHOSTNAME) && defined(HAVE_SYSINFO)
4558	&& defined (HAVE_SYS_SYSTEMINFO_H) && defined(HAVE_LIMITS_H)]: Use
4559	prototypes rather than K&R form.  Assume any negative value from
4560	sysinfo denotes failure, not just -1.
4561	(main): Simplify use of sethostname.
4562
4563	* src/pinky.c (include_idle, include_heading, include_fullname,
4564	include_project, include_plan, include_home_and_shell, do_short_format,
4565	include_where, main): Use bool for booleans.
4566	(count_ampersands, create_fullname, scan_entries, short_pinky):
4567	Use size_t for sizes.
4568	(create_fullname): Check for overflow in size calculations.
4569	(idle_string): Don't assume that the number of idle days
4570	is less than 10**8 and/or INT_MAX/(24*60*60).
4571	(main): No need to pass a non-NULL last arg to getopt_long.
4572	* src/uptime.c (print_uptime, uptime): Use size_t for sizes.
4573	(print_uptime): Remove unused local variable.
4574	(main): No need to pass a non-NULL last arg to getopt_long.
4575	* src/users.c (list_entries_users, users): Use size_t for sizes.
4576	(list_entries_users): Use char for bytes.
4577	(main): No need to pass a non-NULL last arg to getopt_long.
4578	* src/who.c (do_lookup, short_list, short_output, include_idle,
4579	include_heading, include_mesg, include_exit, need_boottime,
4580	need_deadprocs, need_login, need_initspawn, need_clockchange,
4581	need_runlevel, need_users, my_line_only, main): Use bool for booleans.
4582	(print_runlevel): Use unsigned char for bytes.
4583	(list_entries_who, scan_entries, who): Use size_t for sizes.
4584	(main): No need to pass a non-NULL last arg to getopt_long.
4585
4586	* src/install.c (isdir): Remove decl.
4587	(install_file_to_path): Rely on make_path to fail if the destination
4588	is not a directory, by passing preserve_existing==true to it.
4589	Hence we no longer need to call isdir.
4590	Free dest_dir immediately when it's no longer needed, rather than
4591	waiting until the end of the function.
4592	(copy_file): Don't bother calling isdir, as copy will do the
4593	right thing if the destination is a directory.
4594
4595	* src/du.c (fts_debug, opt_all, apparent_size, opt_count_all,
4596	print_grand_total, opt_separate_dirs, hash_ins, process_file, main):
4597	Use bool for booleans.
4598	(max_depth): Now size_t, not int, to avoid an arbitrary limit
4599	of INT_MAX on depth.
4600	(G_fail): Remove: no longer needed, now that the relevant
4601	functions return bool.
4602	(process_file): Use return value to signal success rather than
4603	setting a global.  Remove first_call static var; not needed, since
4604	we can look at n_alloc.  Use size_t for depths.  Remove FIXME
4605	about size_t casts, as it's now fixed.  Use xnrealloc rather
4606	than the obsolescent XREALLOC.  Don't bother to check whether
4607	reallocation is needed unless level > prev_level.
4608	(du_files): Invert sense of result, for consistency with
4609	other coreutils code.  All callers changed.
4610	(main): Allow --max-depth values up to SIZE_MAX.
4611
4612	* src/df.c (inode_format, show_all_fs, show_local_fs,
4613	show_listed_fs, posix_format, require_sync, print_type,
4614	selected_fstype, excluded_fstype, show_dev, show_point, main):
4615	Use bool for booleans.
4616	(df_readable, show_dev): Use UINTMAX_MAX instead of -1.
4617	(show_dev, show_point, main):
4618	Use EXIT_SUCCESS/EXIT_FAILURE instead of 0/1.
4619	Don't assume disk name lengths are <= INT_MAX.
4620	Rewrite pct calculation to avoid cast.
4621	(show_point): Don't assume resolved length is <= SSIZE_MAX.
4622
4623	* src/cut.c (hash_int) [!defined UINTPTR_MAX]: Use size_t
4624	instead of uintptr_t.
4625	* src/shred.c (UINT_MAX_32_BITS): Remove.
4626	(word32): Remove.  All uses changed to uint32_t.
4627	(isaac_seed_data): Remove unnecessary cast.
4628	* src/system.h (ptr_align): Use size_t; in practice, this is just as
4629	good as uintptr_t in checking for alignments, and has fewer
4630	configuration hassles.
4631
4632	* src/Makefile.am (localedir.h): Make it readonly; this
4633	undoes part of the 2004-07-27 patch.
4634
46352004-07-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4636
4637	* src/sort.c (UCHAR): Remove; all uses changed to to_uchar.
4638	(IS_THOUSANDS_SEP): Use bool when appropriate.
4639	(numcompare, main): Use char, not int, when the value is always a char.
4640	(numcompare): Remove "register"; compilers are smart enough these days.
4641	* src/system.h (errno, CHAR_BIT): Remove decls;
4642	no longer needed now we assume C89 or better.
4643	Include <inttypes.h> before <stdint.h>, as it's the
4644	Autoconf-recommended pattern.
4645	(to_uchar): New inline function, moved here from tr.c.
4646	Use full names for int types, e.g. "long int" rather than "long".
4647	* src/tr.c (to_uchar): Remove; now in system.h.
4648	(is_char_class_member): Use bool when appropriate.
4649
4650	* src/mkdir.c (create_parents, main): Use bool when appropriate.
4651	(main): Use EXIT_SUCCESS/EXIT_FAILURE instead of 0/1.
4652
46532004-07-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4654
4655	* src/mkfifo.c (main): Use EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE, not 0 and 1.
4656
4657	* src/chmod.c (recurse, force_silent, process_file, process_files,
4658	main): Use bool when appropriate.
4659	* src/cksum.c (cksum, main): Likewise.
4660	* src/comm.c (hard_LC_COLLATE, only_file_1, only_file_2, both,
4661	compare_files, main): Likewise.
4662
4663	* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Likewise.
4664	* src/copy.c (copy_internal, is_ancestor, copy_dir, copy_reg,
4665	same_file_ok, seen_file, copy_internal, valid_options, copy): Likewise.
4666	* src/cp-hash.h (remember_created): Likewise.
4667	* src/cp-hash.c (remember_created): Likewise.
4668	* src/cp.c (struct dir_attr, flag_path, remove_trailing_slashes,
4669	re_protect, make_path_private, target_directory_operand, do_copy,
4670	cp_option_init, decode_preserve_arg, main): Likewise.
4671	* src/install.c (isdir, change_timestamps, change_attributes,
4672	copy_file, install_file_to_path, install_file_in_dir,
4673	install_file_in_file, strip_files, dir_arg, cp_option_init, main,
4674	change_attributes, change_timestamps): Likewise.
4675	* src/mv.c (remove_trailing_slashes, rm_option_init,
4676	cp_option_init, do_move, movefile, main): Likewise.
4677	* src/remove.c (right_justify), full_filename_, AD_pop_and_chdir,
4678	AD_push, prompt, remove_dir): Likewise.
4679	* src/rm.c (rm_option_init, main): Likewise.
4680
4681	* src/remove.c (top_dir, pop_dir, full_filename_):
4682	Use size_t for sizes.
4683	* src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Do not clear *NEW_DST if stat
4684	succeeds.  It's not necessary in that case, as *NEW_DST is always
4685	false already.
4686	(do_copy): Rewrite slightly to avoid need for "unreachable" comment.
4687	(main): Use EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE instead of 0, 1.
4688	* src/rm.c (main): Likewise.
4689
4690	md5sum, sha1sum integer cleanups.
4691
4692	* src/checksum.h: Don't include config.h, sys/types.h, stdio.h:
4693	not needed.
4694	(ALG_UNSPECIFIED): Remove.
4695	(ALG_MDT): Don't make it equal to CHAR_MAX + 1; this isn't necessary.
4696	* src/md5.c: Don't include any files other than checksum.h.
4697	* src/sha1sum.c: Likewise.
4698	* src/md5sum.c (OPENOPTS, have_read_stdin, status_only, warn,
4699	bsd_split_3, split_3, hex_digits, digest_file, digest_check, main):
4700	Use bool when appropriate.
4701	(digest_check): Increase limit of number of input lines to
4702	UINTMAX_MAX from INT_MAX.  Diagnose any overflows of this counter.
4703	Use ngettext instead of hard-to-i18nize hardcoded stuff for plurals.
4704
47052004-07-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4706
4707	* src/cat.c (exit_status): Remove.  Now done by passing a boolean
4708	'ok' flag around.
4709	(simple_cat, cat): Return true if successful.  All callers changed.
4710	(simple_cat, cat, main): Use bool for booleans.
4711	(simple_cat): Use size_t for sizes.
4712	(cat, main): Use the same names for parameters that we use for
4713	long options, to avoid confusion.  This inverts the sense of the
4714	show_tabs (formerly output_tabs) and number_nonblank
4715	(formerly numbers_at_empty_lines) variables.
4716	(main): Don't mess up (due to integer overflow) if we are given
4717	INT_MAX - INT_MIN + 1 options.
4718	[O_BINARY]: Don't invoke isatty unless the other options require it.
4719	(main): When deciding whether to use simple_cat, don't worry
4720	about binary option; it's irrelevant.
4721
4722	* src/dcgen: Remove comments, trailing white space, and empty
4723	lines from the output strings, to save space.
4724	Use a narrower type like 'unsigned char' for line lengths, if
4725	that will do.
4726	Make the output variables static, not extern.
4727
4728	* src/chgrp.c (parse_group): Require base 10 when parsing
4729	groups as integers.
4730	(main): int -> bool when appropriate.
4731	* src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
4732	* src/chown-core.c: Include inttostr.h.
4733	(UINT_MAX_DECIMAL_DIGITS, uint_to_string): Remove.
4734	(gid_to_name, uid_to_name): Use imaxtostr/umaxtostr
4735	instead of uint_to_string).
4736	(describe_change): Instead of an int flag, use a char *
4737	auxiliary; this avoids the need for casts.
4738	Assume free (NULL) works.
4739	(change_file_owner): Return true/false, not 0/-1, since
4740	we don't set errno.  All callers changed.
4741	Use bool when appropriate.
4742	(chown_files): Likewise.
4743	* src/chown-core.h (chown_files): Likewise.
4744
4745	* tests/chown/basic: Test for proper handling of uids like
4746	"010", which must be parsed as decimal.
4747
4748	* tests/misc/pwd: Don't assume that Perl's getpwd agrees with our
4749	pwd when there are multiple names for the working directory
4750	(which can happen with an automounter, sigh).
4751
4752	* src/Makefile.am ($(SCRIPTS)): Don't depend on Makefile;
4753	this causes Solaris 8 'make' to refuse to build "groups".
4754	(localedir.h): Don't depend on Makefile: this causes Solaris
4755	8 'make' to build localedir.h unnecessarily.  The dependence
4756	on Makefile is ineffective anyway, since $(localedir) might
4757	change even if Makefile hasn't.
4758
4759	* src/remove.c (remove_dir): If we can't save the state of the
4760	working directory, pretend we started from "/", not ".".
4761	This avoids a bug on hosts like Solaris that don't let you
4762	remove the working directory.
4763
47642004-07-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4765
4766	* src/printf.c (strtiomax, strtoumax): Declare if not already
4767	declared: this fixes a portability bug with Solaris 8 + GCC.
4768	(STRTOX): Parenthesize use of macro arg as expression.
4769	(vstrtoimax, vstrtoumax, vstrtold): Remove now-unnecessary
4770	parentheses.
4771	* configure.ac: Check for declaration of strtoumax, for
4772	src/printf.c.
4773
4774	* src/Makefile.am (cp_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD, mv_LDADD,
4775	pathchk_LDADD, rm_LDADD, test_LDADD): New vars, for eaccess.
4776
4777	* tests/readlink/can-e: Don't assume that we can remove the
4778	working directory: this isn't possible under Solaris 8, say.
4779	* tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
4780	* tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
4781
4782	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): find_backup_file_name no longer
4783	returns NULL, so don't bother to check for this.
4784	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Likewise.
4785	* src/ln.c (do_link): Likewise.
4786
47872004-07-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4788
4789	* src/nice.c (GET_NICE_VALUE): Renamed from GET_PRIORITY.
4790	All uses changed.
4791	(NZERO): New macro, if system doesn't define it already.
4792	(usage): Distinguish priorities from nice values.
4793	Don't assume NZERO is 20.
4794	(main): Use bool instead of int where appropriate.
4795	If user specifies an adjustment out of range, always truncate it
4796	to an inrange value instead of sometimes giving an error message
4797	and sometimes not.
4798	Do not assume that -1 is an error return from "nice" or
4799	"getpriority", as it might be the current nice value minus NZERO.
4800	If nice/setpriority fails with errno == EPERM, go ahead and run
4801	the command anyway; POSIX requires this.
4802
4803	* src/pathchk.c: Include euidaccess.h.
4804	(dir_ok): Use euidaccess, not access.
4805	* src/test.c (R_OK, W_OK, X_OK, FOK): Remove; system.h defines them.
4806	(eaccess): Remove.  All users changed to use euidaccess instead.
4807
48082004-07-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4809
4810	* src/uptime.c (print_uptime) [defined BOOT_MSG]:
4811	Don't assume ut_line is null-terminated.
4812	* src/who.c (print_line): New arguments USERLEN and LINELEN,
4813	since USER and LINE might not be null terminated.  All callers
4814	changed.
4815
48162004-07-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4817
4818	Fix bug with "tail -f" reported by Rob Holland in
4819	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-07/msg00054.html>.
4820	Also, remove the undocumented and unsupported-since-2000
4821	--max-consecutive-size-changes options.  Fix another related bug:
4822	"tail" got confused if stdin, stdout, or stderr were closed.
4823	Also, use output buffering even with "tail -f".
4824
4825	* NEWS: Document this, plus yesterday's patch.
4826	* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): "size has remained the same"
4827	-> "file has not changed", which is more accurate for fifos.
4828	* src/tail.c: Include fcntl-safer.h.
4829	(COPY_TO_EOF): Set to UINTMAX_MAX, not OFF_T_MAX (which was wrong).
4830	(COPY_A_BUFFER): New macro.
4831	(struct File_spec): New members mtime, mode, blocking.
4832	Remove member n_consecutive_size_changes.
4833	(DEFAULT_MAX_N_CONSECUTIVE_SIZE_CHANGES,
4834	max_n_consecutive_size_changes_between_opens,
4835	MAX_CONSECUTIVE_SIZE_CHANGES_OPTION): Remove.
4836	(long_options, tail_forever, parse_options):
4837	Remove (non-)support for --max-consecutive-size-changes.
4838	(record_open_fd): New function.
4839	(recheck, tail_file): Use it.  Don't assume that stdin is open.
4840	(dump_remainder): Add support for new COPY_A_BUFFER special value.
4841	Treat errno==EAGAIN like EOF, since it might be a nonblocking read.
4842	(recheck): New arg BLOCKING, specifying whether to use blocking reads.
4843	All uses changed.
4844	(n_live_files): Remove, replacing with...
4845	(any_live_files): New function.  All uses changed.
4846	(tail_forever): Use nonblocking I/O unless we know that blocking I/O
4847	is safe; this avoids some hangs when reading from a fifo.
4848	Avoid invoking fstat or sleep when using blocking I/O.
4849	Do not check for changes to size if the file is not a regular file,
4850	as the size is undefined in that case.
4851	Check for changes to mtime or mode, too; this works for non-regular
4852	files.
4853	(tail_forever, main): Redo fflush strategy to work even when input
4854	is nonblocking.  Don't use unbuffered output; just flush when needed.
4855
48562004-07-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4857
4858	* src/tail.c (main): Ignore -f if no file operand is specified
4859	and standard input is a pipe.
4860	* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Do not ignore -f for
4861	all pipes, just for when standard input is a pipe and no
4862	file operand is specified.
4863	* tests/tail/Test.pm: Reinstate f-1 test, since we now pass.
4864	Add a new commented-out f-2 test, which we still fail.
4865	(test_vector): All f-* tests are special cases, not just f-1.
4866
48672004-07-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4868
4869	* src/uptime.c: Include c-strtod.h.
4870	(print_uptime): Use c_strtod instead of setlocale and sscanf.
4871	Use long int rather than int to count days (for 64-bit hosts),
4872	and check for arithmetic overflow when converting double to time_t.
4873
48742004-07-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4875
4876	* src/printf.c (vstrtold): Renamed from vstrtod.
4877	Now returns long double.  All uses changed.
4878	(print_direc): Use "L" length modifier when printing floating point
4879	numbers, since we're now printing long double.
4880
48812004-07-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4882
4883	printf cleanup, to avoid undefined behavior, to add support for
4884	formats that Bash supports, and to support wide integers like
4885	Bash does.
4886
4887	* NEWS: Document this.
4888	* src/printf.c (UNSPECIFIED): Remove.  All uses now replaced by
4889	booleans, so that we don't reserve any values for precision or
4890	width (like Bash).
4891	(STRTOX): Use prototype, not K&R-style definition.
4892	(vstrtoimax): Renamed from xstrtol (to avoid confusion with xstrtol
4893	in ../lib), with type change to intmax_t.
4894	All uses changed.
4895	(vstrtoumax): Renamed from xstrtoul, with type change to uintmax_t.
4896	All uses changed.
4897	(vstrtod): Renamed from xstrtod.  All uses changed.
4898	(print_direc): Use boolean arg instead of special value to indicate
4899	a missing precision or width.  LENGTH no longer includes
4900	length modifiers or conversion character.  New arg CONVERSION
4901	now specifies conversion character.
4902	Use intmax_t-width formatting for integers (like Bash).
4903	Add support for C99 %a, %A, %F (like Bash).
4904	Add support for field width with %c (POSIX requires this).
4905	Add a FIXME for lack of support for field width and precision
4906	for %b.
4907	Add support for '\'', '0' flags.
4908	Check for invalid combinations of flags, field width, precision,
4909	and conversion, to prevent use of undefined behavior.
4910	Allow multiple length modifiers, for formats like "%lld" (like Bash).
4911	Add support for C99 'j', 't', 'z' length modifiers (like Bash).
4912	In error message, output entire invalid conversion specification,
4913	instead of merely outputting % followed by the conversion char.
4914	* tests/misc/printf: Add tests for the above.

4948
4949	* src/cp.c (make_path_private): 2nd arg is now size_t, not int,
4950	to avoid problem when path_concat dir name is longer than 2 GiB (!).
4951
4952	* src/nohup.c (main): Don't pass NULL first argument to path_concat.
4953	This cleans up the semantics a bit, as we no longer try to open the

5023
50242004-06-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5025
5026	Add support for 'install --target-directory', an option
5027	that has been documented for years but not implemented (!).
5028	* doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Document
5029	--target-directory in synopsis, too.
5030	* src/install.c (TARGET_DIRECTORY_OPTION): New var.
5031	(long_options, main, usage): Add --target-directory.
5032	(target_directory_operand): New function, stolen from mv.c.
5033	(main): Use it.  Check for -d and --target-directory.
5034	Alter wording of diagnostics to match other programs.
5035

5040
50412004-06-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5042
5043	Use more-consistent rules among cp, ln, and mv when dealing with
5044	last operands that are (or look like) directories.
5045
5046	* src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): New, nearly-common function,
5047	It reports an error if the destination appears to be a directory
5048	(e.g., because it has a trailing slash) but is not.
5049	* src/ln.c, src/mv.c: Likewise.
5050	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Use it.
5051	* src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
5052	* src/mv.c (main): Likewise.
5053
5054	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Don't assume argc is positive.
5055	Don't bother to lstat dest, since copy() will do that for us.
5056	Use "const" to avoid the need for cast.
5057
5058	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Don't output a usage message because of file
5059	problems (e.g., an operand is not a directory).  Use it only for
5060	syntax.  Standardize on "target %s is not a directory" for the
5061	diagnostic.
5062	* src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
5063	* src/mv.c (main): Likewise.
5064
5065	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Remove test for trailing slash, since
5066	target_directory_operand now does this.
5067	* src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
5068	* src/mv.c (movefile): Likewise.
5069
5070	* src/cp.c (main): Reject multiple target directories.
5071	Check whether a specified target is a directory when parsing the
5072	options, using stat.  This gives more-accurate diagnostics.
5073	* src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
5074
5075	* src/ln.c (isdir): Remove decl; no longer needed.
5076	* src/mv.c (isdir, lstat): Likewise.
5077
5078	* src/ln.c (do_link): New arg dest_is_dir.  All uses changed.
5079	Don't check the destination ourself; rely on dest_is_dir.
5080	This way we can avoid lstatting the destination in the
5081	usual case, and in the worst case we lstat 1, not 3 times.
5082	Don't bother to unlink unless link failed; this saves a syscall.
5083	Remove unnecessary backup_succeeded flag;
5084	it was identical to "dest_backup != NULL".
5085
5086	* src/ln.c (main): Use int to count to argc, not unsigned int.
5087	This handles negative operand counts.
5088	* src/mv.c (main): Likewise.
5089
5090	* src/mv.c (do_move): Don't call hash_init; expect the caller to
5091	do it, for consistency with cp.c and ln.c.  All callers changed.
5092	(movefile): dest_is_dir parameter is now bool, not int.
5093	(main): Standardize on "missing destination file operand after %s"
5094	for the diagnostic, for consistency with cp.c.
5095
5096	* tests/mv/diag: Don't assume "mv --target=nonexistentdir"
5097	will complain about the arg count.
5098	Adjust to new (briefer) diagnostics.
5099	* tests/cp/fail-perm: Add a test to verify that we get the new
5100	diagnostic when failing to copy through a symlink-to-inaccessible-dir.
5101
51022004-06-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5103
5104	Fix a bug: formerly, if d/x was a directory and x a file, "ln x
5105	d/" incorrectly created a link d/x/x.  It also saves some system
5106	calls.
5107
5108	* NEWS: Document the fix.
5109
5110	* src/ln.c (main): Don't append basename to dest if this
5111	results in an existing directory name.
5112	* tests/ln/misc: See whether a trailing slash is followed too far.
5113
51142004-06-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5115
5116	* src/printf.c (main): When given no arguments, print the standard

5126
51272004-06-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5128
5129	* src/ln.c (do_link): Remove unnecessary call to lstat.
5130	(main): Avoid subscript error when the destination is "".
5131
51322004-06-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5133
5134	* tests/*: Replace all occurrences of `(exit N); exit' with
5135	`(exit N); exit N'.  Otherwise, those many tests could exit with
5136	improper exit status when exiting via e.g., a trapped interrupt.
5137	Thanks to a report from Bob Proulx.
5138
51392004-06-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5140
5141	* src/who.c (idle_string, print_user): New arg boottime,
5142	specifying the most recent boot time.  All uses changed.
5143	(idle_string) Consider a line to be "old" if it hasn't been used
5144	since the last boot time.  Watch out for overflow when computing
5145	times, and for times in the future.
5146	(idle_string): Record latest boot time.
5147
51482004-06-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5149
5150	* src/test.c (usage): Correct description of `-t FD'.  The file
5151	descriptor, FD, is no longer optional.  Reported by Ton Nijkes.
5152
51532004-06-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5154
5155	The 2004-06-19 fix for who and pinky was incomplete, as ctime
5156	has undefined behavior if the year precedes -999 or follows 9999.
5157	Since we have to stop using ctime anyway, we might as well use
5158	strftime and fix the FIXME, and support internationalized dates.
5159
5160	* NEWS: Document the new behavior.
5161	* src/who.c: Include "hard-locale.h".
5162	(time_format, time_format_width): New vars.
5163	(time_string, print_line): Use them.
5164	(main): Set them.

5168
51692004-06-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5170
5171	Fix bug: GNU 'ls' didn't count columns correctly if user or group
5172	names contained multibyte characters where the column count
5173	differed from the byte count.  This patch also corrects
5174	some comments.
5175
5176	* src/ls.c (format_user_or_group): New function, which counts
5177	columns correctly.

5180	correctly.

5186	Suggestion from Andreas Schwab.
5187

5189	PATH through to the process we exec as non-root.
5190	Reported by michael@aplatform.com.
5191

5296
5297	* src/system.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Switch back to

5327
5328	* NEWS: Remove special cases for POSIXLY_CORRECT when POSIX allows
5329	the GNU behavior.
5330	* doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation, unlink invocation): Document this.
5331	* src/ls.c (decode_switches): Pay attention to TABSIZE even if
5332	POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.  POSIX reserves upper-case environment
5333	variables to the implementation, so it's OK for ls to depend on
5334	TABSIZE.
5335	* src/pr.c: Include "hard-locale.h".
5336	(main): When in a non-POSIX locale, ignore POSIXLY_CORRECT, since
5337	POSIX specifies the behavior only in the POSIX locale.
5338	* src/printf.c (print_esc): Support \x, \u, \U even if POSIXLY_CORRECT,
5339	since POSIX says the behavior is unspecified here.
5340	* src/tail.c (parse_obsolescent_option): Support multiple file operands
5341	even if POSIXLY_CORRECT, since POSIX does not require a diagnostic.
5342	* src/printf.c (main): Recognize --help, --version even if
5343	POSIXLY_CORRECT.  POSIX does not specify any options, but it
5344	does not prohibit options either, so "printf" is like "expr" here.
5345	* src/unlink.c (main): Likewise.
5346	* tests/misc/printf: Adjust to the new semantics for \x if
5347	POSIXLY_CORRECT.

5350
5351	* tests/misc/pwd: New test, for fix of 2004-04-19.
5352	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pwd.
5353	(BUILD_SRC_DIR): Define BUILD_SRC_DIR.
5354
5355	* src/copy.c: Remove declaration of euidaccess.
5356	Instead, include "euidaccess.h".
5357
53582004-06-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5359
5360	* src/who.c (PIDSTR_DECL_AND_INIT): Don't assume pid_t fits in int.
5361	(UT_ID) [!HAVE_STRUCT_XTMP_UT_ID]: Remove bogus comment,
5362	as (sizeof "??") reliably returns 3.
5363	(print_line): Guard against idle and pid being too long
5364	(which is possible when printing headers).
5365	(print_user): Allocate enough bytes for idlestr.  Use IDLESTR_LEN.
5366	Avoid unnecessary cast of sizeof to int.
5367	(make_id_equals_comment): Do not assume that UT_ID returns
5368	a string; it might return a non-null-terminated array.
5369	Use strncat instead.  It's not very often where strncat is
5370	exactly what you want, but this is one of those rare cases.
5371
53722004-06-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

5377
5378	* src/touch.c (usage): Improve wording in description of the
5379	--time=WORD option.  Reported by Dan Jacobson.
5380
5381	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Change names of parameters
5382	old_uid and old_gid to required_uid and required_gid respectively.
5383
5384	* src/chmod.c (mode_changed): Return false, not 0, now that the
5385	function returns `bool'.
5386
53872004-06-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5388
5389	Adjust chmod and chown to be similar if -c or -v are given.  In
5390	particular, a no-op chown is no longer reported as a change; this
5391	reverts to previous behavior.  Also, fix both commands so that -v
5392	report failures even if the failure is not due to the chmod or
5393	chown syscalls.
5394
5395	* src/chmod.c (CH_NOT_APPLIED): New constant.
5396	(describe_change): Handle it.
5397	(process_file): Use it, if a symlink wasn't changed.
5398	(mode_changed): Return bool, not int.  Accept new argument
5399	NEW_MODE; all callers changed.  This lets us avoid statting the
5400	file unless the new mode has unusual bits.
5401	(process_file): Return -1 on error.  With -v, report all errors
5402	verbosely, not just some.
5403
5404	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Return -1 on error, not
5405	1 sometimes and -1 on others.  Our caller ORs together our results,
5406	and (-1 | 1) == 0 on ones-complement hosts.
5407	With -v report all errors verbosely, not just some.
5408	Fix bug when chopt->root_dev_ino && !chopt->affect_symlink_referent:
5409	file_stats wasn't set properly in that case.
5410
5411	* tests/chgrp/basic: Adjust to above changes.
5412
54132004-05-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5414
5415	* tests/chgrp/basic: Test that chgrp -h does not fail on
5416	symlinks, even on hosts where that's not supported.
5417	Test that if -R is specified without -H or L, -h is assumed.
5418	Test that chown() is not optimized away.
5419
54202004-05-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5421
5422	Several fixes to chgrp and chown for compatibility with POSIX and BSD:
5423
5424	  Check for incompatible options.  When -R and --dereference are
5425	  both used, then either -H or -L must also be used.  When -R and -h
5426	  are both used, then -P must be in effect.
5427
5428	  -H, -L, and -P have no effect unless -R is also specified.
5429	  If -P and -R are both specified, -h is assumed.
5430
5431	  Do not optimize away the chown() system call when the file's owner
5432	  and group already have the desired value.  This optimization was
5433	  incorrect, as it failed to updated the last-changed time and reset
5434	  special permission bits, as POSIX requires.
5435
5436	  Do not report an error if the owner or group of a
5437	  recursively-encountered symbolic link cannot be updated because
5438	  the file system does not support it.
5439
5440	* NEWS: Document the above.
5441
5442	* src/chgrp.c (main): Check for incompatible options.  -R --dereference
5443	requires either -H or -L, and -R -h requires -P.  If -H, specify
5444	FTS_PHYSICAL as well as FTS_COMFOLLOW; this is faster.  Make this
5445	file as much like chown.c as possible.
5446	* src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
5447
5448	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use ent->fts_statp only if
5449	needed.  Chown a directory only after chowning its children; this
5450	avoids problems if the new directory ownership doesn't permit
5451	access to the children.  Dereference symlinks before doing
5452	ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK, not after, so that we catch symlinks to /.
5453	Do not optimize away the chown() system call when the file's owner
5454	and group already have the desired value.  POSIX does not permit
5455	this optimization.  Rely on chown and lchown to do the right
5456	thing with symlinks and/or -1 arguments, now that we have wrappers
5457	to do this.  Use ENOTSUPP not ENOSYS, and ignore all ENOTSUPP
5458	errors, not just command-line errors.
5459	(chown_files): Pass FTS_NOSTAT to xfts_open if we don't need file status.
5460
5461	* src/system.h (ENOTSUP): Remove.
5462
5463	* tests/chgrp/basic: Use chown --from to discover whether the
5464	group changed, since chgrp now changes unconditionally.  This
5465	complicates the sed script a bit.  Do not specify --dereference,
5466	since it's the default (and we want to test this).  Adjust output
5467	to match the fact that chgrp no longer optimizes the case of
5468	changing a file's group to the same value as before.
5469	* tests/chgrp/posix-H: Do not attempt to combine -h and -H; these
5470	options are incompatible, and their behavior is undefined with POSIX.
5471	(changed, not_changed): Adjust to match the fact that -h is no longer
5472	specified.  Sort names.
5473	* tests/chown/deref: Adjust error-diagnostic spelling to match new
5474	behavior.
5475
54762004-06-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5477
5478	* src/uname.c (main): Fix typo introduced on 2003-05-10 that
5479	prevented a diagnostic of any operands.
5480
54812004-06-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5482
5483	* src/shred.c (direct_mode): Turn it on/off with directio, too.
5484
54852004-06-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5486
5487	Enable direct-mode I/O (bypassing the buffer cache), if possible.
5488	Prompted by a suggestion from Kalle Olavi Niemitalo
5489	in http://bugs.debian.org/207035.
5490	* src/shred.c (direct_mode): New function.
5491	(do_wipefd): Turn on direct-mode I/O.
5492	(dopass): If a file's first write fails with EINVAL,
5493	turn off direct-mode I/O and retry the write.
5494
54952004-06-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5496
5497	* src/tr.c (main): "tr -d a b" is now a fatal error even if
5498	POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.  The POSIX SYNOPSIS does not allow this
5499	option combination.
5500
55012004-06-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5502
5503	* src/shred.c (dopass): Don't subtract 1 from the offset after
5504	a write error.  Problem reported by Jon Peatfield in:
5505	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-06/msg00020.html
5506
55072004-06-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5508
5509	Fix bug reported by Buciuman Adrian in
5510	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-08/msg00105.html>
5511	where 'dd' created a file that was too large.  The bug was that dd
5512	assumed that the input file offset does not advance after a failed
5513	read; but POSIX says that the input file offset is undefined after
5514	a failed read.
5515
5516	* src/dd.c (MAX_BLOCKSIZE): New macro.
5517	(input_seekable, input_seek_errno, input_offset,
5518	input_offset_overflow): New vars.
5519	(scanargs): Reject block sizes greater than MAX_BLOCKSIZE.
5520	(advance_input_offset): New function.
5521	(skip_via_lseek): Set errno to zero when reporting our failure,
5522	so that we don't report based on garbage errno.
5523	(skip): If fdesc is standard input, advance the input offset.
5524	Do not quit if reading, and if noerror was specified;
5525	POSIX seems to require this.
5526	If read fails on output file, report the earlier lseek failure
5527	instead; this fixes a FIXME in dd_copy.
5528	(advance_input_after_read_error): New function.
5529	(dd_copy): Use it, instead of assuming that failed reads
5530	do not advance the file pointer.  Advance input offset
5531	after nonfailed reads.  Advance only a partial block if
5532	the previous read (before the failed read) succeeded, and
5533	do not generate an output block of zeros in this case.
5534	(main): Determine initial input offset, seekability of input,
5535	and error if it wasn't seekable.
5536
55372004-06-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5538
5539	rm (without -f) could hang unnecessarily when attempting to
5540	remove a symlink to a file on an off-line NFS-mounted partition.
5541	Reported by David Howells in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/124699.
5542	* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): New function.
5543	Don't invoke euidaccess on symlinks.
5544	(prompt): Use write_protected_non_symlink rather than using
5545	euidaccess directly, being careful not to call lstat twice for a file.
5546
5547	Fix a bug in how the --output-delimiter=D option works with
5548	abutting byte or character ranges.  Reported by David Krider in
5549	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-05/msg00132.html
5550	* src/cut.c (print_kth): Remove special case for open-ended range.
5551	(set_fields): Record the range start index for an interval even
5552	when it abuts another interval on its low side.
5553	Also record the range start index of the longest right-open-interval.
5554	* tests/cut/Test.pm: Add tests of --output-delimiter=S with
5555	abutting and overlapping byte ranges.
5556
55572004-06-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5558
5559	Some POSIX-conformance cleanups for tr.
5560
5561	* src/tr.c (posix_pedantic): Remove; no longer needed since
5562	we need to test this in just one place now.
5563	(usage): Mention -C.
5564	(unquote): Note that \055, \n, etc are escaped.
5565	Do not worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT when warning about ambiguous
5566	escape sequences.
5567	\ at end of string stands for itself.
5568	Do not diagnose invalid backslash escapes: POSIX says the behavior
5569	is unspecified in this case, so we don't need to diagnose it.
5570	(main): Add support for -C (currently an alias for -c).
5571	Do not diagnose 'tr [:upper:] [:upper:], as POSIX does not require
5572	a diagnostic here.
5573	* tests/tr/Test.pm: New tests bs-055, bs-at-end, repeat-Compl.
5574	Fix comment for range-a-a.
5575
55762004-05-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5577
5578	Improve the efficiency (and in one case, correctness) of code
5579	that reads symlinks.
5580
5581	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't use alloca, as it can mess up
5582	royally if the link length is long (e.g., GNU/Hurd).  Use
5583	xreadlink instead, it's safer.  Don't bother to read the link if
5584	it's the wrong size.  Add a FIXME because this area is a bit murky
5585	and undocumented.
5586	* src/ls.c (get_link_name): Update use of xreadlink.
5587	* src/readlink.c (main): Likewise.
5588	* src/stat.c (print_stat): Likewise.
5589
55902004-06-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5591
5592	* src/env.c (main): Prefer the notation `STREQ (a, b)'
5593	over `!strcmp (a, b)'.
5594	* src/sort.c (main, sort_buffer_size): Prefer the notation
5595	`STREQ (a, b)' over `strcmp (a, b) == 0'.
5596	* src/date.c (batch_convert): Likewise.
5597	* src/expr.c (nextarg): Likewise.
5598	* src/su.c (correct_password, restricted_shell, main): Likewise.

5601
56022004-05-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5603
5604	* NEWS: echo compatibility cleanup.
5605	* doc/coreutils.texi (echo invocation): Document the changes.
5606	* src/echo.c (V9_ECHO): Remove; always enabled.
5607	(DEFAULT_ECHO_TO_XPG): Renamed from V9_DEFAULT, so that
5608	we use the same naming convention as bash.  Now an enum,
5609	not a macro.
5610	(usage): Reword to mention -e/-E more accurately.
5611	Mention \0NNN (the POSIX syntax) rather than \NNN (nonstandard).
5612	(hextobin): New function.
5613	(main): Use bool rather than int for local vars when appropriate.
5614	Do not allow options if POSIXLY_CORRECT, unless we are using
5615	BSD semantics and the first argument is "-n".
5616	Don't pass unnecessary extra arg to parse_long_options.
5617	do_v9 now defaults to DEFAULT_ECHO_TO_XPG, not to allow_options.
5618	Do not look for options if !allow_options.
5619	Use size_t rather than int when appropriate.
5620	Open-code option test rather than using strrchr.
5621	Use faster test for "-".
5622	Avoid redundant argc test.
5623	Add support for \x, for Bash compatibility.
5624	Use e.g. '\a' rather than '\007', for portability to EBCDIC hosts.
5625	When '\c' is encountered, stop printing immediately, as POSIX
5626	requires.
5627	Add support for \xhh syntax.
5628	Add support for \0ooo syntax; POSIX requires this.
5629
56302004-06-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5631
5632	* Use automake-1.8b.  Regenerate dependent files.
5633
56342004-05-31  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5635
5636	* tests/Makefile.am.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define PATH to include
5637	the build src/ directory -- at the front.
5638	($(srcdir)/$x-tests): Depend on Makefile.am.
5639	Use $x as the program name, except when it would be `test' (test is
5640	the sole program tested via mk-script that is also a shell built-in).
5641	In that case, use the old ../../src/$x.
5642
56432004-05-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5644
5645	Work around HPUX /bin/cc compiler bug that is exposed, now that
5646	sets are arrays of type `bool'.  More details here:
5647	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2004-05/msg00094.html
5648	FIXME: verify that the above URL points to the right message
5649
5650	* src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Use cleaner `sizeof in_set'
5651	rather than `N_CHARS * sizeof(in_set[0])'.  Using HPUX's /bin/cc
5652	(aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]) on an ia64-hp-hpux11.22
5653	system, those two expressions are not the same (256 vs. 1024).
5654	The effect of this problem was that `tr -c x y' would fail:
5655	tr: when not truncating set1, string2 must be non-empty
5656	(set_initialize): Remove unnecessary initialization of the `in_set'
5657	buffer; that initialization triggered the same compiler bug as above.
5658
56592004-05-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5660
5661	tr cleanup, mostly having to do with integer type ranges.
5662	Remove all casts.
5663
5664	* tests/tr/Test.pm: Add a few tests for the below.  Alas, most of
5665	the test cases wouldn't be portable, or would take too much CPU
5666	time, or both.
5667
5668	* src/tr.c (N_CHARS, N_CHAR_CLASSES): Now an enum, not a macro.
5669	This is safe since the code already assumes N_CHARS fits in int.
5670	(Filter): Remove: we want to prototype everything.
5671	(ORD, CHR): Remove.  All uses removed.  Some replaced with:
5672	(uchar): New function.  All places where a char must be converted
5673	to an unsigned char are now done this way, not by ad-hoc methods.
5674	(count): New type.  Use it whenever counts or states are needed.
5675	(BEGIN_STATE): Increase from INT_MAX - 1 (which was bogus, anyway,
5676	since we used it in an unsigned int context) to UINTMAX_MAX - 1.
5677	(REPEAT_COUNT_MAXIMUM): New macro.  Use it in place of BEGIN_STATE
5678	whenever appropriate.
5679	(NOT_A_CHAR): Remove global macro; now a local enum.
5680	(UL_LOWER, UL_UPPER, UL_NONE): No longer specify values, since
5681	the rest of the code no longer depends on them.
5682	(class_ok): Remove; all uses changed to use inline comparisons.
5683	(RE_NO_TYPE): Remove; wasn't used or needed.
5684	(struct List_element): normal_char and equiv_code are now unsigned
5685	char, not int.
5686	first_char, last_char, and the_repeated_char are now unsigned char,
5687	not unsigned int.  repeat_count is now count, not size_t.
5688	All uses changed.
5689	(struct Spec_list): state is now count, not unsigned int.
5690	lengthis now count, not size_t.
5691	n_indefinite_repeats is now size_t, not int.
5692	has_equiv_class, has_char_class, and has_restricted_char_class
5693	are now bool, not int.  All uses changed.
5694	(struct E_string): s is now char *, not unsigned char *.
5695	escaped is now bool *, not int *.  All uses changed.
5696	(ES_MATCH): Remove macro, replacing with:
5697	(es_match): New inline function.  All uses changed.
5698	(squeeze_repeats, complement, posix_pedantic, truncate_set1,
5699	translating): Now bool, not int.
5700	(io_buf): Now char array, not unsigned char.
5701	(SET_TYPE): Remove.  All uses replaced with bool.
5702	(is_equiv_class_member, unquote, append_range, append_char_class,
5703	append_equiv_class, find_closing_delim, star_digits_closebracket,
5704	build_spec_list, parse_str, homogeneous_spec_list):
5705	Now returns bool, not int.  All uses changed.
5706	(is_equiv_class_member): Now inline.
5707	(is_equiv_class_member, is_char_class_member, make_printable_str,
5708	append_normal_char, append_range, append_repeated_char,
5709	get_s2_spec_stats):
5710	Args are now of proper integer type.
5711	(unquote, look_up_char_class, make_printable_str,
5712	append_equiv_class, build_spec_list, squeeze_filter):
5713	Avoid unsigned char *p; gently convert *p to unsigned char instead.
5714	(unquote, get_spec_stats): Do not jump past declarations and then
5715	use them; C doesn't allow this in portable programs.
5716	(make_printable_str): Check for overflow in size calculations.
5717	(xmemdup): Remove.  All uses rewritten.
5718	(find_bracketed_repeat): Args are now of proper pointer-to-integer
5719	type.  Do not reject [c*0].  Use xstrtoumax, not xstrtoul.
5720	(find_bracketed_repeat, star_digits_closebracket): Check that the
5721	digits are not escaped.
5722	(build_spec_list): Don't bother to copy opnd_str; not needed.
5723	(build_spec_list, get_next): Simplify internal logic a bit.
5724	(card_of_complement): Fix bug due to char overflow.
5725	(get_spec_stats): Don't assume len fits into int.
5726	Check for integer overflow.  Use abort() rather than assert(0).
5727	(string2_extend): Fix subscript error: is_char_class_member (..., 255)
5728	was being invoked.
5729	(squeeze_filter): READER is never null now; simplify code.
5730	READER arg now has a simpler type.  Remove unnecessary casts.
5731	(squeeze_filter, main): Calls to fwrite improperly checked result
5732	against zero, rather than against requested size.
5733	(plain_read): New function.
5734	(read_and_delete, read_and_xlate):
5735	Remove unused filter arg, and don't worry about hit_eof.
5736	Simplify by using plain_read.
5737	(set_initialize): Args are bool and bool *, not int and SET_TYPE *.
5738	(main): Always pass a non-null procedure to squeeze_filter.
5739	Rewrite so that class_ok isn't needed.

57412004-05-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5742
5743	* src/shred.c (dosync): Ignore EBADF errors, as IRIX 6.5
5744	fdatasync reports EBADF when syncing (unwritable) directories.
5745	Problem reported by Albert Chin-A-Young in:
5746	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-05/msg00165.html
5747
57482004-05-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5749
5750	* tests/chown/deref: Fix typo: use ls -ldo, not ls -ldg.
5751	Patch from Albert Chin.
5752
5753	* src/ptx.c (text_buffer_maxend): Remove declaration of unused variable.
5754
5755	* src/remove.c (push_dir): Merge declaration and adjacent assignment
5756	into a single statement.
5757
57582004-05-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5759
5760	* src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Eliminate an unnecessary comparison.
5761
57622004-05-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5763
5764	rm -r would get a failed assertion when run from an inaccessible
5765	directory and with two or more command line arguments including an
5766	absolute-named directory followed by a relative-named directory.
5767
5768	* src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [require_restore_cwd]: New member.
5769	* src/remove.c (struct cwd_state): Define.
5770	(AD_pop_and_chdir): Redesign interface so that a restore_cwd failure
5771	can be detected by the caller.  Instead of returning a malloc'd
5772	directory name, communicate it to caller via a new parameter, and
5773	return an indication of whether restore_cwd failed.  Update caller.
5774	Eliminate an unnecessary call to AC_stack_top.
5775	(remove_dir): Change type of cwd_state parameter to `struct cwd_state'
5776	so we can now communicate to caller whether/how functions like
5777	restore_cwd have failed.  Update caller.
5778	(rm_1): Fail if we've failed to restore the working directory
5779	and the name of the next file to remove is `.'-relative.
5780	(rm): Fail if the require_restore_cwd flag is true and we've
5781	failed to restore the working directory.
5782	* src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize new member,
5783	x->require_restore_cwd.
5784	* src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
5785
57862004-05-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5787
5788	* tests/rm/inaccessible: New test for the above fix.
5789	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
5790
5791	* src/remove.c (rm): Use free rather than XFREE.
5792	(remove_dir): Use xmalloc, not XMALLOC.
5793	(ds_init): Likewise.
5794
57952004-05-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5796
5797	* Makefile.maint (sc_unmarked_diagnostics): Now that the unmarked
5798	diagnostics in shred.c have been fixed, don't exempt shred.c from
5799	this check.
5800
5801	* src/shred.c: Use translatable diagnostics, e.g.
5802	change "%s: remove" to _("%s: failed to remove") and
5803	change "%s: close"  to _("%s: failed to close").
5804
58052004-05-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5806
5807	* src/shred.c (names): Bring back lower-case letters, "_", and
5808	".".  But continue to omit +, =, %, @, #, as they're either
5809	shell metacharacters (for some shells) or are not in some
5810	character sets, or (in the case of '%') must be a
5811	metacharacter somewhere.
5812
58132004-05-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5814
5815	* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Adjust to new signature of getndelim2.
5816
58172004-05-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5818
5819	* src/shred.c (incname): Decrement `len' only once per loop iteration.
5820
5821	chgrp and chown now dereference symlinks by default, per POSIX.
5822	Reported by Michal Politowski as http://bugs.debian.org/249177.
5823
5824	* src/chown-core.c (chopt_init): Affect each symlink referent by default.
5825	* src/chown.c (usage): Update to reflect this.
5826	* src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
5827	* NEWS: Describe the change.
5828	Adapt tests accordingly.
5829	* tests/chgrp/basic: Use -h where necessary to retain semantics.
5830	* tests/chgrp/deref: Likewise.
5831	* tests/chgrp/posix-H: Likewise.
5832
58332004-05-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5834
5835	In shred, check for errors from fdatasync more carefully.  If
5836	fdatasync fails with errno==EINVAL, it means this implementation
5837	does not support synchronized I/O for this file.  Do not report
5838	this as an error, as (for example) AIX 5.2 fdatasync reports it
5839	for raw disk devices.  Problem reported by Albert Chin in
5840	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2004-05/msg00028.html>.
5841
5842	Check for write errors, though: the old code ignored them.
5843	Improve error checking in a few other cases, too (e.g., close of a
5844	directory).
5845
5846	Also, change several 'int' values to 'bool', so that the error
5847	checking is a bit clearer.  Similarly, change unsigned values
5848	to size_t where appropriate.
5849
5850	* src/shred.c: Include "dirname.h".
5851	(datasync) [!HAVE_FDATASYNC]: Remove.
5852	(dosync): New function.
5853	(dopass): Use it.  Return 1 on write error, -1 on other error.
5854	All callers changed.  Report write error if dosync does.
5855	(do_wipefd, wipefd, wipename, wipefile): Return bool (true/false),
5856	not int (0/-1).  All callers changed.  Return false if there's a
5857	write error.
5858	(incname): Return bool (true/false), not int (0/1).  Accept
5859	size_t length, not unsigned.  All callers changed.  Do not
5860	bother checking for non-digits; it can't happen.  Replace
5861	recursion with iteration.
5862	(wipename): Use dir_name, base_name, etc. instead of assuming
5863	Unix file names.  Use size_t for length, not unsigned.
5864	Report error if unlink or close fails.
5865	(wipename, main): Use bool for booleans.
5866
5867	(names): Use only digits and uppercase letters, for greater
5868	portability.
5869
58702004-05-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5871
5872	* tests/chown/deref: New test for the yesterday's change.
5873	* tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add deref.
5874
58752004-05-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5876
5877	chown --dereference did nothing when the owner/group of a
5878	symlink matched the desired owner/group.  Reported by David Malone.
5879	Also reported in 1999 as http://bugs.debian.org/39642.
5880
5881	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): When --dereference has
5882	been specified, and when processing a symlink, stat it to get the
5883	owner and group of the referent.
5884
58852004-05-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5886
5887	* man/pwd.x, man/echo.x, man/printf.x: Fix typo:
5888	s/supercede/supersede/ reported by Andrew Fabbro.
5889
58902004-05-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5891
5892	Improve performance of `sort -m' on large files, at the cost of
5893	making some contrived examples unsafe.  POSIX allows this
5894	optimization.  Performance problem reported by Jonathan Baker in
5895	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-05/msg00071.html>.
5896
5897	* src/sort.c (first_same_file): Do not treat input pipes
5898	differently from other files.
5899	* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document that "sort -m -o F"
5900	might write F before reading all the input.
5901	* NEWS: Likewise.
5902
59032004-05-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5904
5905	* src/od.c (print_ascii, dump_strings): Use e.g. '\a' rather than
5906	'\007', for portability to EBCDIC hosts.
5907	* src/printf.c (print_esc_char): Likewise.
5908	* src/tr.c (unquote, make_printable_str): Likewise.
5909
59102004-05-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5911
5912	* src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Move lstat-`.' into if-block
5913	where the result is used.  This avoids one unnecessary lstat call
5914	per command line argument.
5915
59162004-05-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5917
5918	Don't assume that "make -C" works; Solaris "make" doesn't have -C.
5919
5920	* src/Makefile.am (all_programs.list): New rule, copied from
5921	man/Makefile.am and tests/Makefile.am, except that we use the
5922	system tr rather than ./tr and we don't use tr -s.
5923	* tests/Makefile.am (all_programs): Use it.
5924	* man/Makefile.am (all_programs): Likewise.  Renamed from programs,
5925	for consistency.  All uses changed.
5926
59272004-05-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5928
5929	* tests/rm/unread3: New test, for the above fix and today's
5930	lib/save-cwd.c improvement.
5931	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add unread3.
5932
5933	* src/rm.c: Don't include "save-cwd.h".  It's no longer used.
5934
59352004-05-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5936
5937	* tests/install/trap: New file.  Test for bug fix of 2004-04-18.
5938	* tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add trap.
5939
5940	* src/remove.c (AD_push): Don't use errno in diagnostic about
5941	`changed dev/ino'.
5942
5943	Remove these generated files from CVS.
5944	* tests/cut/cut-tests, tests/date/date-tests, tests/join/join-tests:
5945	* tests/ls/ls-tests, tests/pr/pr-tests, tests/tac/tac-tests:
5946	* tests/tail/tail-tests, tests/test/test-tests, tests/tr/range-tests:

5948
59492004-05-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5950
5951	* src/tr.c (unquote): Use xcalloc rather than xmalloc and
5952	a loop initializing the just-allocated memory to zero.
5953
59542004-05-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5955
5956	* tests/rm/no-give-up: New file; check for today's fix.
5957	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-give-up.
5958
59592004-05-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5960
5961	Fix bug where "rm" gave up too easily, reported by Dan Jacobsen in
5962	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-05/msg00013.html>.
5963
5964	* src/remove.c (remove_entry): Check for errno values like ENOENT
5965	that show the file cannot be directory, instead of for errno
5966	values like EPERM that show the file might be a directory.  This
5967	is necessary because, when a single unlink() call has multiple
5968	reasons to fail, it can set errno to any of those reasons; it's
5969	only the rare errno value like ENOENT that excludes all the other
5970	possible reasons to fail even when the file is a directory.
5971	(remove_cwd_entries): Don't attempt chdir if the file is known
5972	to not be a directory.
5973	(remove_dir): Use the same method that remove_cwd_entries uses
5974	(for some reason they differed).  Don't assert that saved_errno
5975	must be EPERM; it might be just about anything.
5976
59772004-05-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5978
5979	* src/id.c (xgetgroups): Use xnmalloc, rather than xmalloc.
5980	Don't add `1' to the buffer size (it was to protect against malloc
5981	implementations that fail to allocate a buffer of size zero).
5982	That is no longer necessary, since we use a malloc wrapper
5983	on such systems.
5984
5985	* src/wc.c (get_input_fstatus): Use xnmalloc, rather than xmalloc.
5986	* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_pipe): Likewise.
5987	* src/df.c (main): Likewise.
5988	* src/shred.c (do_wipefd): Likewise.
5989	* src/users.c (list_entries_users): Likewise.
5990	* src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
5991	* src/md5sum.c (main): Likewise.
5992
59932004-04-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5994
5995	* src/df.c (show_disk, show_point): If several filesystems are
5996	mounted on the same mount point, prefer the last one, not the first.
5997	Problem reported by Christian Jones in
5998	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-04/msg00200.html>.
5999	(show_disk): Remove unused statp arg.  Return bool, not int.
6000	(show_point): Rewrite to avoid gotos.  Use the same algorithm
6001	for lofs and dummies for each pass through the mount table,
6002	rather than subtly different algorithms (which are probably
6003	inadvertent).
6004
60052004-05-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6006
6007	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add m4/ChangeLog, now that we no longer
6008	have m4/Makefile*.
6009
60102004-05-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6011
6012	When chown or chgrp is modifying the referent of a symlink,
6013	use the chown(2) function, if possible.
6014	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't hard-code the
6015	open/fchown/close kludge here.  Use `chown' instead.
6016	The chown function works just fine on conforming systems.
6017	Other systems now go through the new chown wrapper that
6018	resorts to the old kludge.
6019
6020	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add a comment.
6021
60222004-04-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6023
6024	* src/ptx.c: Make over 40 global extern variables `static'.
6025	(syntax_table, re_syntax_table): Remove declarations of two unused
6026	variables (they were exposed by the above change).
6027
6028	* src/du.c (G_fail, opt_nul_terminate_output): Declare `static'.
6029	* src/ln.c (backup_type): Likewise.
6030
6031	* src/remove.c (rm): Add `extern' keyword.
6032	* src/cp-hash.c (forget_created, remember_created)
6033	(src_to_dest_lookup, remember_copied, hash_init, forget_all): Likewise.
6034	* src/copy.c (dest_info_init, src_info_init, copy): Likewise.
6035	* src/chown-core.c (chopt_init, chopt_free, gid_to_name)
6036	(uid_to_name, chown_files): Likewise.
6037
6038	* src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): New rule.
6039	* Makefile.maint (sc_tight_scope): New rule.
6040	(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
6041
60422004-04-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6043
6044	* Use automake-1.8.4.  Regenerate dependent files.
6045
6046	* src/sort.c (limfield): Make a comment clearer.
6047
60482004-04-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6049
6050	Fix POSIX-conformance bug: "sort -k 3,3.5b" is supposed to skip
6051	leading blanks when computing the location of the field end;
6052	it is not supposed to skip trailing blanks.  Solaris 8 "sort"
6053	does conform to POSIX.  Also fix the documentation to clarify
6054	this and related issues.
6055
6056	* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Mention -k earlier, so
6057	that the options are in alphabetical order.  Describe how -b works
6058	more-accurately; this involves fixing some examples, too.  Mention
6059	what happens if the start field falls after an end field or after
6060	a line end.  Warn about using -k without -b, -g, -M, -n, or -t.
6061	Add an example of how to sort IPv4 addresses and Apache Common
6062	Log Format dates.  Remove a duplicate example.
6063	(Putting the tools together): Use separate options rather
6064	than agglomerating them.
6065	* src/sort.c (limfield): Use skipeblanks, not skipsblanks, to
6066	decode whether to skip leading blanks.
6067	(trailing_blanks): Remove.
6068	(fillbuf, getmonth, keycompare): Don't trim trailing blanks.
6069
6070	* tests/pr/Test.pm: Fix typo in env_default comment.
6071	* tests/sort/Test.pm: Likewise.
6072	(18c, 18d): Reverse the order of output lines, so that the
6073	test cases conform to POSIX.
6074
60752004-04-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6076
6077	More signal-handling cleanup for ls.c.  Do not allow signals to
6078	happen between arbitrary output bytes, as the
6079	restore-default-color sequence can bollix up multibyte chars or
6080	color-change sequences in the ordinary output.  Instead, process
6081	signals only between printing a file name and changing the color
6082	back to non_filename_text color.  That way, if the signal handler
6083	changes the color (to the default), 'ls' will change it back when
6084	'ls' continues (after being suspended).
6085
6086	Also, do not bother with signal-handling unless stdout is a
6087	controlling terminal; this lets stdio buffer better when "ls
6088	--color" is piped or sent to a file.
6089
6090	* src/ls.c (sigprocmask, sigset_t) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: New macros.
6091	Do not include "full-write.h"; no longer needed.
6092	(tcgetpgrp) [! HAVE_TCGETPGRP]: New macro.
6093	(put_indicator_direct): Remove.  All callers changed to use
6094	put_indicator.
6095	(caught_signals, interrupt_signal, stop_signal_count): New vars.
6096	(restore_default_color): Don't bother checking for put_indicator
6097	failure.
6098	(sighandler): Don't handle SIGTSTP; that's another handler now.
6099	Simply set interrupt_signal to the signal, then exit.
6100	(stophandler, process_signals): New functions.
6101	(main): Don't output any color changes until _after_ the signal
6102	handlers are set up.  This fixes a race condition where 'ls'
6103	could be interrupted while initializing colors, and leaving the
6104	terminal in an undesirable state.
6105	Don't mess with signal-handling if standard output is not a
6106	controlling terminal.
6107	When exiting, restore the default color, then restore the
6108	default signal handling, then act on any signals that weren't
6109	acted on yet.
6110	Do not print //DIRED// etc. in colors; this avoids the need
6111	to catch signals when printing them.
6112	(print_name_with_quoting): Process signals just before switching
6113	color back to non_filename_text.
6114
61152004-04-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6116
6117	Avoid segfault on systems for which SIZE_MAX != (size_t) -1.
6118	* src/ls.c (quote_name): Use SIZE_MAX, not -1, in calls

6122
6123	tee ignored SIGPIPE, but POSIX doesn't allow this.
6124
6125	* src/tee.c (main): Do not ignore SIGPIPE, as POSIX 1003.1-2001
6126	does not allow this.  This undoes the 1996-10-24 patch.

6129
6130	Signal-handling cleanup for coreutils.  Here are the highlights:
6131
6132	 - csplit sometimes failed to remove files when interrupted.
6133	 - csplit didn't clean up if two signals arrived nearly simultaneously.
6134	 - install -s would infloop on System V if SIGCHLD was ignored.
6135	 - ls could incorrectly restore color if multiple signals
6136	   arrived nearly simultaneously.
6137
6138	* src/csplit.c (sigprocmask, sigset_t) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]:
6139	Define.
6140	(filename_space, prefix, suffix, digits, files_created, remove_files):
6141	Now volatile.
6142	(caught_signals): New var.
6143	(cleanup): Block signals while deleting all files.
6144	(cleanup_fatal, handle_line_error, regexp_error):
6145	Mark with ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
6146	(create_output_file, close_output_file, interrupt_handler):
6147	Block signals while changing the number of output files,
6148	to fix some race conditions.
6149	(delete_all_files): Do nothing if remove_files is zero.
6150	Clear files_created.
6151	(main): Don't mess with signals until after argument processing
6152	is done.
6153
6154	* src/csplit.c (main): Rewrite signal-catching code to make it
6155	similar to other coreutils programs.  When processing signals,
6156	block all signals that we catch, but do not block signals that we
6157	don't catch.  Avoid problems with unsigned int warnings.
6158	* src/ls.c (main): Likewise.
6159	* src/sort.c (main): Likewise.
6160
6161	* src/csplit.c (interrupt_handler):
6162	Use void, not (obsolete) RETSIGTYPE.
6163	* src/shred.c (sigill_handler, isaac_seed_machdep): Likewise.
6164
6165	* src/csplit.c (interrupt_handler) [defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]:
6166	Use simpler "signal (sig, SIG_DFL)" rather than sigaction equivalent.
6167	* src/ls.c (sighandler) [defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Likewise.
6168	* src/sort.c (sighandler) [defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Likewise.
6169	* src/nohup.c (main) [!defined _POSIX_SOURCE]: Likewise, except
6170	for SIG_IGN.
6171	* src/tee.c (main) [!defined _POSIX_SOURCE]: Likewise.
6172
6173	* src/install.c: Include <signal.h>.
6174	(main) [defined SIGCHLD]: Set SIGCHLD handler to the default, if -s is
6175	given, since System V fork+wait does not work if SIGCHLD is ignored.
6176
6177	* src/ls.c (sighandler) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Reset signal
6178	handler to self, not to SIG_IGN, since SIGTSTP can be received
6179	more than once.
6180	(main): Use SA_RESTART, as that is simpler than checking for EINTR
6181	failures all over the place.
6182
61832004-04-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6184
6185	* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Clarify comment.
6186
6187	* man/help2man: Accept new option: --program-name=NAME, so that we
6188	can override the one in --version output.  This is needed solely
6189	so that test.1 doesn't refer to `[' as the program name.
6190	Reported by Benjamin Cutler as http://bugs.debian.org/205251.
6191	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use help2man's new --program-name option.
6192
6193	* src/pwd.c: Don't include pathmax.h; system.h already does it.
6194
6195	* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Free buffer upon getndelim2 failure.
6196
61972004-04-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

6202	* Makefile.maint (sc_trailing_blank): New rule.
6203	(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
6204	* .x-sc_trailing_blank: New file.
6205
6206	Make pwd work even if the resulting name is so long that getcwd fails.
6207	* src/pwd.c: (path_free, path_init, path_prepend): New functions.
6208	(nth_parent, find_dir_entry, robust_getcwd): New functions.
6209	(main): First try getcwd, then, upon failure, robust_getcwd.
6210
62112004-04-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

6216	* src/remove.c (full_filename_): Don't leak upon failed realloc.
6217
6218	* src/system.h (readdir_ignoring_dot_and_dotdot): New inline function,
6219	from remove.c.
6220	* src/remove.c (readdir_ignoring_dotdirs): Move function to system.h,
6221	renaming it.  Update uses.
6222
62232004-04-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

6230
6231	* Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): New rule.
6232	(syntax-check-rules): Add to the list.
6233
62342004-04-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6235
6236	Use page-aligned buffers whenever we bother to do I/O using buffer
6237	sizes that are tailored for the files.
6238
6239	* src/cat.c: Include getpagesize.h.
6240	* src/copy.c: Likewise.
6241	* src/shred.c: Likewise.

6248	All uses replaced by ptr_align.
6249	* src/od.c (gcd, lcm): Remove; now in system.h.
6250	* src/system.h (gcd, lcm, ptr_align): New functions, moved from od.c.
6251
62522004-04-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6253
6254	Remove m4/Makefile.am: it's no longer needed, with newer automake
6255	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove m4/Makefile.in from the list.
6256	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove `m4' from the list.
6257
62582004-04-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6259
6260	* configure.ac: Change `jm_' in AC_DEFINE'd names to `gl_'.

6267	(cp invocation): Document -u (it was missing!) with new behavior.
6268
6269	* src/copy.c: Include "utimecmp.h".
6270	(copy_internal): Compare time stamps using utimecmp rather than
6271	MTIME_CMP.
6272
62732004-04-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6274
6275	* Makefile.maint (.re-list): New rule/file, to replace
6276	hard-coded list of header file names.
6277	(sc_system_h_headers): Use the new file.
6278	Don't look for sys2.h anymore.
6279
6280	* src/system.h: Include new "stat-macros.h" rather than hard-coding
6281	all of its macro definitions -- the list was slightly out of date.
6282	Suggestion from Dmitry V. Levin.
6283
62842004-04-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6285
6286	* NEWS: Remove noctty flag from dd.  Suggested by Philippe Troin.

6288	* src/shred.c (O_NOCTTY): Remove redundant decl.
6289	* src/dd.c (flags, usage): Remove noctty flag.
6290	(main): Always use O_NOCTTY when opening files.
6291
62922004-04-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6293
6294	* src/dd.c (dd_copy): Mark two diagnostics for translations.
6295	(set_fd_flags): Undo part of today's change: it's a little
6296	cleaner -- and more efficient in the common case -- to go
6297	ahead and OR in the -1 when fcntl fails.
6298
6299	* Makefile.maint (sc_dd_max_sym_length): New target.
6300	(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
6301
6302	* src/md5sum.c (PROGRAM_NAME) [algorithm == ALG_SHA1]:
6303	Correct spelling: s/shasum/sha1sum.  Reported by Jesse Kornblum.
6304
6305	* src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Don't OR in -1 when fcntl fails.
6306	Rename parameter, flags, to avoid shadowing global.
6307	(LONGEST_SYMBOL): Tweak comment.
6308
63092004-04-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

6317	(input_flags, output_flags): New vars.
6318	(LONGEST_SYMBOL): New macro.
6319	(struct symbol_value): Renamed from struct conversion.  Members
6320	symbol and value renamed from convname and conversion.  The
6321	symbol value is now an array instead of a pointer; this saves
6322	a bit of space and time in practice.  All uses changed.
6323	(conversions): Add nocreat, excl, fdatasync, fsync.  Now const.
6324	(flags): New constant array.
6325	(iflag_error_msgid, oflag_error_msgid): New constants.
6326	(parse_symbols): Renamed from parse_conversion and generalized
6327	to handle either conversion or flag symbols.
6328	(scanargs): Adjust uses of parse_symbols accodingly.  Add
6329	support for iflag= and oflag=.  Reject attempts to use
6330	both excl and nocreat.
6331	(set_fd_flags): New function.
6332	(dd_copy): Just return X rather than calling quit (X), since our
6333	caller invokes quit with the returned value.  Add support for
6334	fdatasync and fsync.
6335	(main): Add support for iflag=, oflag=, and new conv= symbols.
6336	* src/system.h (O_DIRECT, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOFOLLOW,
6337	O_RSYNC, O_SYNC): Define to 0 if not already defined.
6338
6339	* NEWS: Remove duplicate mention of BLOCKSIZE.

6349
63502004-04-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6351
6352	A specified format is no longer automatically newline terminated.
6353	If you want a newline at the end of your format, use `\n'.
6354	* src/stat.c (print_it): Don't print a newline at the end of
6355	every format.
6356	(do_statfs): Add a newline at end of each default format string.
6357
63582004-03-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

6364
6365	* tests/Fetish.pm (run_tests): Remove `.orig' file.
6366	Remove debugging diagnostic.
6367
6368	Specifying an invalid --width=N (-w) or --gap-size=N (-g)
6369	would not elicit an error.
6370	* src/ptx.c: Include "xstrtol.h" and "quotearg.h".

6380
6381	* tests/du/files0-from: Use new OUT_SUBST directive, so that this
6382	test is not sensitive to system-dependent block size differences.
6383	Prompted by a report of Solaris 8 differences from Paul Eggert.
6384
6385	* tests/Fetish.pm: Accept new directives: OUT_SUBST, ERR_SUBST.
6386	Rename `%tmp' to `%actual'.  Reverse order of last two args to
6387	_compare_files (to $actual, $expected) so as to match declaration.
6388
63892004-03-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6390
6391	Fix some gotchas encountered when porting to Solaris 8, using
6392	the Forte 6u2 compiler.
6393
6394	* src/hostname.c [HAVE_SETHOSTNAME && !defined sethostname]:
6395	Declare sethostname, since no Solaris header does it.
6396	* src/who.c: Include "vasprintf.h", for asprintf.
6397
63982004-03-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6399
6400	Minor optimization:
6401	* src/du.c (process_file): Don't record dev/inode for directories.
6402
6403	Under some circumstances, without -c, du would mistakenly count the
6404	space of hard-linked files, not just the first one it encountered.
6405	Reported by Anthony Thyssen.
6406	* src/du.c (du_files): Don't ever clear the set of `seen' dev/inodes.
6407
6408	* src/du.c: Rename global `print_totals' to `print_grand_total'.
6409
6410	* src/du.c (main): Rearrange filtering loop to be a tiny bit
6411	more efficient.

6421
6422	* src/du.c (main): Filter out file names of length zero before
6423	invoking fts, so that they don't cause fatal errors.

6434
64352004-03-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6436
6437	* NEWS: Shorten the du --files0-from announcement, and say
6438	"NUL-terminated" rather than "NUL-separated".
6439	* src/du.c (EXPECTED_BYTES_PER_FILE_NAME, DEFAULT_PROJECTED_N_FILES):
6440	Remove: not used.
6441	(usage): Say "NUL-terminated", not "NUL-separated".
6442	(main): Check for I/O error when istream is closed.
6443	Allow --files0-from=F even if F is empty; this specifies no files.

6456
64572004-03-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6458
6459	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Remove --info-page= option, reverting
6460	the change of 2004-01-22.  I can no longer reproduce the problem
6461	that prompted that change, and `info coreutils pr' would display the
6462	`printing text' section of the manual, not the one on `pr invocation'.
6463
6464	* tests/du/files0-from (nul-1, nul-2): Adjust expected diagnostics
6465	to match corrected output.
6466
6467	* src/du.c: Include "readtokens0.h" rather than "readtokens.h".

6499	the time stamp with numeric value N.  Improve support for
6500	fractional time stamps.  date's -d and -f options now accept them.
6501	Likewise for touch -t.  date has a new option --iso-8601=ns.
6502
6503	* doc/coreutils.texi (touch invocation):
6504	Describe use of fractional seconds.
6505	(date invocation, Options for date): Likewise.

6507	* doc/coreutils.texi (date invocation): Mention effect of LC_TIME.
6508	(Options for date): Describe new --iso-8601=ns option.
6509
6510	* doc/getdate.texi: Add copyright notice.  Change getdate to
6511	get_date when talking about the function name.
6512	(Seconds since the Epoch): New section, containing the time_t
6513	info moved from Date input formats section, along with new
6514	info about the @ syntax.  Mention negative time stamps,
6515	fractional time stamps, and leap seconds.
6516	(General date syntax): Modernize examples a bit to reflect new
6517	features.
6518	(General date syntax, Relative items in date strings):

6520	(Time of day items): Add an example with fractional seconds.
6521	Describe fractional-second syntax.
6522
6523	* src/Makefile.am (touch_LDADD): New macro, since `touch' now
6524	needs clock_gettime.
6525

6527	(time_spec_string, time_spec, show_date): Support it.

6530	(batch_convert): getline returns ssize_t, not int.
6531
6532	* src/touch.c (newtime): Now an array of two timespecs, one
6533	for access and one for modification.
6534	(ref_stats): Remove.
6535	(get_reldate): Use get_date's parameter profile.
6536	(touch, main): Adjust to above changes.
6537	(main): Work even if tm_year == INT_MAX (so long as long int is wider).
6538	Use gettime instead of gettimeofday, for new get_date signature.
6539
6540	* tests/date/Test.pm (test_vector): New tests epoch, ns-10, ns-max32,
6541	ns-relative.
6542
65432004-03-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6544
6545	* Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): `Make' the emit_upload_commands
6546	target before updating $(prev_version_file).
6547
6548	* tests/misc/date-sec: New file, to test for just-fixed bug in date.
6549	See today's change in lib/getdate.y.
6550	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add date-sec.
6551
65522004-03-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6553
6554	* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): Use `.sig' suffix for
6555	signature files, not `.asc'.  Reported by angico@yahoo.com.
6556
65572004-03-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6558
6559	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Tweak wording in a diagnostic.
6560	Suggestion from Karl Berry.
6561	Include "quoatearg.h".
6562	(do_copy): Use quotearg_colon (not quote) for diagnostics
6563	that begin with `"%s:'.
6564
6565	* src/nl.c (usage): Specify that nl uses _basic_ regular expressions.
6566	Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
6567
65682004-03-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6569
6570	* Version 5.2.1.
6571
6572	Sometimes, when source and destination partition are different,
6573	mv mistakenly fails to preserve a hard link.  Reported by IIDA Yosiaki.
6574
6575	* src/copy.c: When moving a set of N hard-linked files between
6576	partitions, via two or more command line arguments where the
6577	command line argument containing the Nth link contains no other
6578	link to that same file, mv would mistakenly copy the file, rather
6579	than hard-linking it to the other(s).  That happens because when the
6580	final link is processed, its link count has been reduced to 1 since
6581	the other links have been `copied' to the destination partition
6582	and the source links have been removed.
6583	(copy_internal): When in move mode, use the source dev/inode
6584	pair to look up destination name even when st_nlink == 1.
6585	* src/cp-hash.c (src_to_dest_lookup): New function.
6586	* src/cp-hash.h (src_to_dest_lookup): Add prototype.
6587	* tests/mv/part-hardlink: New file.  Test for the above fix.
6588	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add part-hardlink.
6589
6590	* announce-gen: Sync with autoconf.
6591
6592	* tests/ls/time-1: Exit 77 (not 1) if we can't set up for the test.
6593	This was triggered on a Linux-2.2.19 system using a file system
6594	NFS-mounted from some sort of Sun.
6595
65962004-03-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6597
6598	* Use automake-1.8.3.  Regenerate dependent files.
6599
66002004-03-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6601
6602	* tests/du/deref-args: Also convert sizes in the 70-79 kB range,
6603	so that this test works with SELinux-enabled systems.
6604	Based on a patch from Tim Waugh.
6605
6606	`join -1 x' would give a misleading diagnostic
6607	* src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Report that a non-numeric field
6608	number is invalid, rather than `so large that it is not representable'.
6609	* tests/join/Test.pm (invalid-j): New partial test for the above fix.
6610
66112004-03-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6612
6613	cp --sparse=always sparse-image-file.img /dev/hda1 could
6614	produce an invalid copy on the destination device.
6615
6616	* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Even with --sparse=always, try to
6617	make `holes' only if the destination is a regular file.
6618	Reported by Szakacsits Szabolcs.
6619
66202004-03-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6621
6622	* src/nohup.c (main): Don't invoke set_cloexec_flag with
6623	a file descriptor of -1.
6624
66252004-03-02  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>
6626
6627	* src/nohup.c: Include "cloexec.h".
6628	(main): Set the copy of stderr to close on exec.
6629
66302004-03-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6631
6632	* configure.ac: Include <signal.h> when checking for strsignal,
6633	sys_siglist, and friends.  Problem reported by Tony Leneis in
6634	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-02/msg00136.html>.
6635
66362004-02-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6637
6638	* tests/du/deref-args, tests/du/exclude, tests/du/slash:
6639	* tests/du/trailing-slash: Run envvar-check in case BLOCK_SIZE
6640	etc. are set.
6641
66422004-02-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6643
6644	* NEWS: Document how chown's USER.GROUP argument is now parsed.
6645
66462004-02-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6647
6648	* src/seq.c (usage): Remove stray space after \n in --help output.
6649
66502004-02-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6651
6652	* src/du.c (usage): Separate -H and --si.  Say that the meaning
6653	of -H will soon change to that of --dereference-args (-D).
6654
66552004-02-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6656
6657	* src/comm.c (usage): Tell what comm does when there are no options.
6658	Reword in terms of FILE1 and FILE2 rather than `left file' and
6659	`right file'.  Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
6660
66612004-02-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6662
6663	Fix some POSIX-conformance bugs in expr.
6664
6665	* NEWS: document the following changes to src/expr.c.
6666	* doc/coreutils.texi (expr invocation): Likewise.
6667	Document what forms integers may take, and say "integer"
6668	consistently instead of "number".  Warn about operands
6669	that "expr" can misinterpret, and how to work around the
6670	problem.
6671	* src/expr.c (eval, eval7, eval6, eval5, eval4, eval3, eval2, eval1):
6672	Accept a bool argument specifying whether to evaluate the
6673	expression.  This is to allow short-circuit evaluation.  All
6674	callers changed.
6675	(null): Report that a string is zero even if it has
6676	a form like "-0" or "00".
6677	(eval1, eval): Use short-circuit evaluation for | and &.
6678	(eval): Return 0 if both arguments are null or zero, instead
6679	of returning the first argument.
6680	* tests/expr/basic: Add some tests for the above.
6681
66822004-02-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6683
6684	* Version 5.2.0.
6685
6686	`make check' from a build inside a chroot environment would fail
6687	* tests/help-version: Specify an argument (`/') for df, in the
6688	unusual event that there is no valid entry in /etc/mtab.
6689	Likewise for id: add the -u option, so we don't get spurious
6690	failures when there are no user or group names.
6691	Patch by Tim Waugh.
6692
6693	* src/sort.c (usage) [-u]: Add punctuation so that the description in
6694	the help2man-generated (line-joined) man page is more readable.
6695	Reported by Tim Waugh.
6696	[-T]: Add a semicolon, for the same reason.
6697
66982004-02-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6699
6700	* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Qualify target with $(srcdir)/ prefix.
6701
67022004-02-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6703
6704	* tests/Makefile.am.in ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Use more portable
6705	$(srcdir)/../Makefile.am.in, rather than $<.
6706	Suggestion from Michael Elizabeth Chastain.
6707
67082004-02-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6709
6710	* config/install-sh: Make this script executable.
6711	* Makefile.am (dist-hook): New target, to ensure that config/install-sh
6712	is executable.  Otherwise, on systems that lack a suitable install
6713	binary, `make install' would fail, because of the way this script
6714	is invoked (without `$SHELL ' prefix).
6715	Reported by Bob Proulx.
6716
67172004-02-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6718
6719	* Version 5.1.3.
6720
6721	* tests/rm/rm5: Avoid triggering a bug in OSF/Tru64's sed
6722	that would cause an unwarranted test failure.
6723	* tests/rm/rm3: Likewise.
6724
67252004-02-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6726
6727	Remove xstat function pointer member.  The way it was used was not
6728	portable, since some systems (OSF V5.1, Solaris 2.5.1) provide static
6729	inline `stat' and `lstat' functions, thus making the tests of
6730	`xstat == lstat' in copy.c always fail.
6731	* src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [xstat]: Remove member.
6732	(XSTAT): New macro.
6733	* src/copy.c (copy_dir): Set `.dereference' member, not .xstat.
6734	(copy_internal): Use `XSTAT (x, ...)' in place of `*(x->xstat) (...)'.
6735	Use `x->dereference == DEREF_NEVER' in place of `x->xstat == lstat'.
6736	(valid_options): Remove now-obsolete FIXME comments.
6737
6738	* src/cp.c (re_protect): Use `XSTAT (x, ...)' in place of
6739	`*(x->xstat) (...)'.
6740	(do_copy): Declare/use local xstat rather than x->xstat.
6741	(main): Remove code that set x.xstat.
6742	* src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Don't initialize xstat member.
6743	* src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
6744
6745	* Makefile.cfg (gnu_ftp_host-alpha, etc.): Un-factor .gnu.org suffix,
6746	so that emit_upload_commands can use these variables, too.
6747
67482004-02-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6749
6750	* tests/rm/deep-1: Remove `du' stack space test.
6751	Apparently, `ulimit -s N' isn't portable enough.
6752	This test will be restored (with a guard against losing ulimit)
6753	in its own file later.
6754
6755	* tests/rm/deep-1 (deep): Remove progress-style diagnostics,
6756	since this test doesn't take long enough to merit them.
6757	Run du on $tmp (the containing dir), not $deep, the full path to leaf.
6758
6759	* Makefile.maint (signatures): Remove definition.
6760	Now, automake's gnupload handles this.
6761	(%.sig: %): Remove now-unused rule.
6762	(rel-files): Use automake's $(DIST_ARCHIVES), rather than
6763	`$(distdir).tar.bz2 $(distdir).tar.gz'.
6764	(emit-upload-commands): Adjust to use gnupload.
6765
67662004-02-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6767
6768	* src/system.h (ST_TIME_CMP_NS, ST_TIME_CMP): Remove definitions.
6769	(ATIME_CMP, CTIME_CMP, MTIME_CMP, TIMESPEC_NS): Likewise.
6770	Now, those are all defined in timespec.h.
6771	Include timespec.h.
6772
6773	* src/date.c: Don't include timespec.h, now that system.h does it.
6774
67752004-02-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6776
6777	Don't dump core if localtime returns NULL (possible on
6778	hosts with 64-bit time_t and 32-bit int).
6779	* src/date.c: Include "inttostr.h".
6780	(batch_convert, main):
6781	If time conversion fails, exit with nonzero status.
6782	(show_date): Return int to report conversion failure.
6783	Print the time as an int if localtime fails.
6784	* src/uptime.c: Print "??" if the current clock can't
6785	be converted by localtime.  This won't happen until the year
6786	2*31 + 1900, but we don't want to dump core even if the current
6787	clock has the wrong value.
6788
6789	* src/stat.c: Include "inttostr.h".
6790	(human_time): Print the date/time as a number of seconds since the
6791	epoch if it can't be converted by localtime.  This is better than
6792	just saying "invalid", and is consistent with what "ls" does.
6793	Don't dump core if the year has more than 48 digits; this isn't
6794	possible on any contemporary host, but we might as well do it right.
6795
67962004-01-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6797
6798	* src/stat.c (human_time): Accept time rather than
6799	pointer-to-const-time parameter, for clarity.  All callers changed.
6800
68012004-02-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6802
6803	* src/stat.c (do_stat): Remove extra trailing newline from
6804	default formats.  Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
6805
6806	Print actual fractional seconds in time stamps, not just `.00000000'.
6807	* src/stat.c (human_time): Add and use new parameter, t_ns.
6808	(print_stat): Update callers.
6809	* src/ls.c (TIMESPEC_NS): Remove definition.
6810	* src/system.h (TIMESPEC_NS): Define here, instead, now that stat.c
6811	also uses this macro.
6812	Nelson H. F. Beebe noticed that ls --full-time printed nonzero
6813	fractional seconds for files on an XFS file system, but that stat's
6814	fractional seconds were always zero.
6815
68162004-01-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6817
6818	* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Use 'double' for loop index, not
6819	'int', to avoid problems with integer overflow.  On almost all
6820	machines 'double' works in every case where 'int' works, and
6821	it works on other cases besides.
6822
68232004-01-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6824
6825	* src/seq.c (usage): Mention that if INCREMENT is omitted,
6826	it defaults to 1, even when FIRST is larger than LAST.
6827	Reword so as not to exclude the possibility that INCREMENT be zero.
6828
68292004-01-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6830
6831	* Version 5.1.2.
6832
6833	* Makefile.maint (signatures): Comment out definition.
6834
68352004-01-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6836
6837	* Makefile.maint (header_regexp): Add exitfail.
6838
6839	* man/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add help2man.
6840	Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
6841
6842	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Prefix help2man invocation with `$(PERL) --'
6843	so it works on systems with Perl installed somewhere other than in
6844	/usr/bin.
6845
6846	* src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Declare local, chr, to be of type
6847	`int', not `char', since it must hold EOF.  This bug would make
6848	paste infloop on some systems.  Test failures reported by
6849	Nelson H. F. Beebe and Christian Krackowizer.
6850
68512004-01-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6852
6853	* tests/rmdir/fail-perm: New file.  Test for just-fixed rmdir bug.
6854	* tests/rmdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-perm.
6855
6856	* man/help2man: Fix it so using --info-page='coreutils PROG' works.
6857	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Invoke our own (tweaked) copy of help2man.
6858	Use --info-page='coreutils PROG' option.
6859	Now, readlink.1 refers the user to `info coreutils readlink'
6860	rather than to `info readlink'.  Reported by Matt Swift.
6861
68622004-01-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6863
6864	Exit status cleanup.
6865

6882	* src/users.c, src/wc.c, src/who.c, src/whoami.c, src/yes.c: Likewise.
6883
6884	* src/cat.c (usage): Don't bother normalizing exit status
6885	since the arg is already the correct exit status now.
6886	* src/cksum.c, src/comm.c, src/csplit.c, src/cut.c,
6887	* src/dircolors.c, src/expand.c, src/fmt.c, src/fold.c, src/head.c,

6890	* src/tsort.c, unexpand.c, src/src/uniq.c, src/src/wc.c: Likewise.
6891
6892	* src/chown.c (main): Removed unused local 'fail'.
6893
6894	* src/chroot.c (CHROOT_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE, CHROOT_FAILURE):
6895	Remove.
6896
6897	* src/chroot.c (main): Initialize exit_failure to EXIT_FAIL.
6898	* src/env.c, src/nice.c, src/su.c: Likewise.
6899	* src/nohup.c (main): Likewise, to NOHUP_FAILURE.
6900	* src/setuidgid.c (main): Likewise, to SETUIDGID_FAILURE.
6901	* src/expr.c (main): Use initialize_exit_failure rather than
6902	setting exit_failure directly; this optimizes away redundant
6903	assignments.
6904	* src/printenv.c, src/sort.c, src/test.c, src/tty.c: Likewise.
6905
6906	* src/chroot.c (main): Exit with status 1 rather than 127
6907	if chroot itself fails, as per documentation.
6908
6909	* src/chroot.c (main): Use EXIT_ENOENT and EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE
6910	rather than roll-your-own symbols or integers.
6911	* src/env.c (main): Likewise.
6912	* src/nohup.c (main): Likewise.
6913	* src/su.c (run_shell): Likewise.
6914
6915	* src/cp.c (exit_status): Remove static var....
6916	(main): Making it local here instead.  Use =, not |=, to set it.
6917
6918	* src/cut.c (FATAL_ERROR, main): Exit with status EXIT_FAILURE,
6919	not 2, on errors.
6920	* src/date.c (batch_convert, main): Likewise.
6921	* src/dd.c (dd_copy): Likewise.
6922	* src/pr.c (first_last_page, main, getoptarg): Likewise.
6923	* src/tr.c (main): Likewise.

6925	POSIX doesn't require it.
6926	* src/dd.c (write_output, skip, dd_copy): Likewise.
6927	* src/df.c (main): Likewise.

7004	so as to avoid problems with systems using TAI clocks.
7005	Although it's no longer necessary, set TZ=UTC0 also for the
7006	initial touch command.  Reported by Paul Jarc here:

7015	* tests/touch/relative: Use TZ=UTC0, not TZ=utc (which isn't
7016	portable).  Problem reported by Christian Krackowizer.  Also, use
7017	+0000 rather than +0 to specify a time zone, as the documentation
7018	requires four digits.

7079	From Andreas Schwab.
7080
7081	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove `/vg' (prerelease test
7082	remnant) from PATH component.  That would cause tests in this directory
7083	not to run the just-built binaries, but rather whatever happened
7084	to be in one's PATH.  Reported by Christian Krackowizer.

7155	accordingly.  Document that -t makes all separators significant.
7156
7157	* src/join.c: Include posixver.h.
7158	(obsolete_usage): New var.
7159	(longopts): Put obsolete options first.

7161	(get_option, add_file_name): New functions.
7162	(main): Use them to support new behavior.
7163	(usage): Remove documentation for -j1 FIELD and -j2 FIELD.

7168
71692003-12-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

7173
7174	Various other minor cleanups, mostly to avoid the need for casts.
7175
7176	(extract_field): Renamed from ADD_FIELD, as it's now a function.
7177
7178	(struct field.beg): Now char *, not unsigned char const *.  All
7179	uses changed.  It shouldn't be const since xmemcoll writes on its

7183

7197
7198	(empty_filler): Now const *.
7199
7200	(make_blank): Remove; wasn't needed.  Remove all calls.

7305	don't have to worry about buffer overrun.  Update dired_pos.
7306	(print_long_file): Don't put owner, group, author into buffer;
7307	just print them directly.  Don't assume link counts and
7308	major and minor numbers fit into unsigned long int.

7415
74162003-11-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7417
7418	* src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Use `sizeof *var' rather than

7430	More generally, resize integer variables to fit use more precisely.
7431	* src/cut.c (ADD_RANGE_PAIR): Remove unnecessary parens.
7432	(struct range_pair): Make members to be of type size_t, not unsigned.

7439	Use size_t, not unsigned, for field and byte counts.
7440	(hash_int): Use uintptr_t, not unsigned, for pointers converted

7490
7491	* src/chmod.c (AUTHORS): Add my name.
7492
7493	* src/split.c (next_file_name): Use `sizeof *var' rather than

7552	Don't fail when run with VERBOSE=yes.
7553	* tests/chgrp/basic: Do `set +x' before starting the subshell
7554	from which we invoke chgrp.  Otherwise, the output from the
7555	VERBOSE=yes-induced `set -x' would result in spurious differences.
7556	Reported by Russel Coker via Michael Stone.
7557
75582003-10-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7559
7560	chmod now uses fts to perform a directory traversal when -R is
7561	specified.  Before, it operated on full path names, and as such
7562	would encounter the PATH_MAX (often 4096) limit.
7563

7629
76302003-10-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7631
7632	chown and chgrp now accept POSIX-mandated -H, -L, -P options and
7633	use fts to perform a directory traversal when -R is specified.
7634	Before, they operated on full path names, and as such would
7635	encounter the PATH_MAX (often 4096) limit.
7636	They are more efficient.  For example, before, chgrp -R would
7637	take almost 5 seconds to change about 2000 directories and fail
7638	(with `File name too long'), while now it succeeds on a hierarchy
7639	of depth 20,000 in 1/10 the time.
7640
7641	* src/chown.c: Include "userspec.h" and "fts_.h".

7648
7649	* src/chgrp.c: Include "fts_.h".
7650	(WRITTEN_BY): Add my name.
7651	(MAXUID, MAXGID): Remove definitions.  Use GID_T_MAX instead of
7652	the latter.
7653	(usage): Update.
7654	(main): Handle new options.
7655	Call new function, chown_files rather than change_file_owner.
7656
7657	Rewrite to iterate through hierarchies using fts rather than
7658	via explicit recursion.
7659	* src/chown-core.c: Include "fts_.h"
7660	(change_file_owner): Rewrite to use FTS* and FTSENT* and to operate
7661	on a single file at a time.
7662	(chown_files): New function.
7663	* src/chown-core.h [enum Dereference_symlink]: Remove declaration.
7664	[struct Chown_option] (recurse, force_silent): Change type to `bool'.

7672
7673	* src/ln.c (usage): Clarify that --directory, -d, -F probably won't
7674	work even for superuser.  Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
7675
76762003-10-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
7677
7678	Fix some number-parsing bugs, e.g., "head -n 100k@" wasn't
7679	properly diagnosed.
7680	* lib/human.c, lib/xstrtoimax.c, lib/xstrtol.c, lib/xstrtol.h,
7681	lib/xstrtoul.c, lib/xstrtoumax.c: Sync with gnulib.
7682	* src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Handle the case where overflow
7683	and invalid suffix char are both reported.
7684
76852003-10-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7686
7687	* src/ls.c (decode_switches) [TIOCGWINSZ]: Comment out the
7688	warning-inducing test, ws.ws_col <= SIZE_MAX, since it was always
7689	true on Linux.
7690
76912003-10-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
7692
7693	Fix to avoid a denial-of-service attack if the display width is
7694	enormous.  Also, clean up the code a bit by removing duplicate code.
7695
7696	* src/ls.c (init_column_info): Remove forward decl; no longer needed.
7697	(calculate_columns): New function, that contains code that used
7698	to be common to print_many_per_line and print_horizontal.
7699	(print_many_per_line, print_horizontal): Use it.
7700	(decode_switches): Set max_idx here, not in calculate_columns.
7701	(print_current_files): Don't call init_column_info; calculate_columns
7702	now does that.
7703	(init_column_info): Don't allocate a lot more space than is needed
7704	to represent the current set of files.  Allocate all the new
7705	size_t cells in one call to xnmalloc, rather than a row at a time.
7706
77072003-10-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7708
7709	* src/ls.c (init_column_info): Add another FIXME comment.

77112003-10-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
7712
7713	Fix address-arithmetic bug in 'ls', reported by Georgi Guninski.

7716
7717	* src/ls.c (struct bin_str.len, length_of_file_name_and_frills, indent,
7718	nfiles, files_index, tabsize, line_length, struct column_info.line_len,
7719	struct column_info.col_arr[0], max_idx):
7720	Now size_t, not int.
7721	(get_funky_string): Return bool indicating success, instead of
7722	a negative count to indicate failure.  Store number of columns
7723	through new parameter OUTPUT_COUNT; that way, they can never
7724	go negative.  Change equals_end from int to bool.  All uses
7725	changed.
7726	(struct column_info.valid_len): Now bool, not int.  All uses changed.
7727	(dired_dump_obstack, get_funky_string, clear_files,

7729	print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, init_column_info,
7730	put_indicator, length_of_file_name_and_frills,
7731	print_with_commas): Use size_t, not int, for local variables
7732	that count sizes.
7733	(decode_switches): Decode sizes using xstrtoul, not xstrtol.
7734	Check for TIOCGWINSZ returing negative values (or values greater
7735	than SIZE_MAX!).
7736	(visit_dir, main, parse_ls_color, queue_directory, add_ignore_pattern,
7737	init_column_info):
7738	Use xmalloc and xnmalloc, not XMALLOC.
7739	(gobble_file): Use xnrealloc, not XREALLOC.
7740	(print_color_indicator): Remove now-unnecessary cast to size_t.
7741
77422003-10-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
7743
7744	* tests/du/no-x: Change wording of diagnostic to match latest du.c.

7749
7750	New options: --preserve-root and --no-preserve-root.
7751	* src/chmod.c (change_file_mode): Honor new option.

7753	argument passed to change_dir_mode.

7755	(main): Initialize global, root_dev_ino.
7756
7757	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't #ifdef-out simple uses of

7769
77702003-09-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
7771
7772	csplit cleanup.
7773
7774	* doc/coreutils.texi (csplit invocation):
7775	The regexp offset need not have a sign; POSIX requires support
7776	for signless offets.
7777
7778	Be more careful about int widths.  For example, remove some
7779	arbitrary limits by replacing 'unsigned' with 'size_t',
7780	'uintmax_t', etc.  Use standard bool rather than a homegrown type.
7781	* lib/Makefile.am (libfetish_a_SOURCES): Add xstrtoimax.c.
7782	* src/csplit.c (FALSE, TRUE, boolean): Remove.  All uses changed
7783	to <stdbool.h> usage.
7784	(struct control): offset is now intmax_t, not int.
7785	repeat_forever is now bool, not int.
7786	(struct cstring): len is now size_t, not unsigned int.
7787	(struct buffer_record): bytes_alloc, bytes_used, num_lines are now
7788	size_t, not unsigned.  start_line, first_available are now
7789	uintmax_t, not unsigned.
7790	(hold_count, control_used): Now size_t, not unsigned.
7791	(last_line_number, current_line, bytes_written):
7792	Now uintmax_t, not unsigned.
7793	(save_to_hold_area, red_input, keep_new_line, record_line_starts,
7794	create_new_buffer, get_new_buffer, load_buffer, find_line,
7795	process_regexp, split_file, new_control_record, extract_regexp,
7796	get_format_width, get_format_prec, max_out):
7797	size args, locals, and returned values are now size_t, not unsigned
7798	or int.
7799	(get_first_line_in_buffer, find_line, write_to_file,
7800	handle_line_error, process_line_count, regexp_error, process_regexp,
7801	split_file):
7802	File line, byte, and repetition counts are now uintmax_t, not unsigned.
7803	(check_for_offset): Don't require a sign before the offset.
7804	Use xstrtoimax to do the real work.
7805	(extract_regexp): Remove harmful cast of size to unsigned.
7806	256 -> 1<<CHAR_BIT, for clarity.
7807	(get_format_flags): Return at most 3, to avoid worries about overflow.
7808
7809	(bytes_to_octal_digits): Remove.
7810
7811	(cleanup): Don't check whether output_stream is NULL, since
7812	close_output_file does that for us.
7813
7814	(new_line_control, create_new_buffer): Use "foo *p = xmalloc
7815	(sizeof *p);" instead of the more long-winded alternatives.
7816
7817	(get_new_buffer): Use O(1) algorithm for resizing a buffer
7818	to a much larger size, instead of an O(N) algorithm.
7819
7820	(process_regexp): Use plain NULL rather than casted 0.
7821
7822	(make_filename): Use %u, not %d, to format unsigned file number.
7823
7824	(new_control_record): Use xrealloc exclusively, since it handles
7825	NULL reliably.
7826
7827	(extract_regexp): Change misspelled word in diagnostic.
7828
7829	(get_format_width): Even if a minimum field width is specified,
7830	allow room for enough octal digits to represent the value of
7831	the maximum representible integer.  This fixes a potential
7832	buffer overrun.  Calculate this room at compile-time, not
7833	at run-time; this removes the need for bytes_to_octal_digits.
7834	Check for overflow; this removes a FIXME.
7835
7836	(get_format_prec): Don't allow precision to be signed; it's
7837	not ANSI.  Check for overflow.  Remove hardcoded "11" as
7838	default precision; this fixes a potential buffer overrun
7839	on hosts with wider size_t.
7840
7841	(get_format_conv_type): Change local variable to be of type
7842	unsigned char, not int; this removes a potential subscript
7843	violation on hosts where char is signed.
7844
7845	(max_out): Replace "for (;*p;)" with more-standard "while (*p)".
7846	Allow "%%" in format.  Don't overflow when
7847	counting lots of percents.
7848
7849	(usage): Default sprintf format is %02u, not %d.

7882	(IS_DIR_TYPE): Define.
7883	(is_symlink_to_dir): Remove now-unnecessary function.
7884	(process_file, du_files): Rewrite to use fts.
7885
7886	* tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Ensure that even when run from an
7887	inaccessible directory, du can still operate on accessible
7888	directories elsewhere.
7889	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible-cwd.
7890
7891	* tests/rm/deep-1: Ensure that du can process a hierarchy
7892	of depth 400 while using no more than 50KB of stack space.
7893

7895
7896	* announce-gen (print_news_deltas): New function, extracted from main.
7897	(main): Make `news_file' an array.
7898	Use '...=s' => \@var for --news and --url-directory specs.
7899	Before there were a couple of portability problems.

7904	(syntax-check-rules): Add it.

79152003-09-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7916
7917	Don't exhaust virtual memory when processing large inputs.
7918	Fix this by removing csplit's internal free-list management;
7919	instead rely on malloc for that.
7920
7921	* src/csplit.c (free_list): Remove global.
7922	(clear_all_line_control): Remove function.
7923	(get_new_buffer): Always use create_new_buffer to obtain a
7924	new buffer, rather than searching free_list.
7925	(free_buffer): Just call free.
7926	Reported by Nikola Milutinovic.
7927
79282003-09-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7929

7931	Suggestion from Mark Hubbart.
7932
79332003-09-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7934
7935	* configure.ac: Don't invoke AC_AIX or AC_MINIX explicitly, now
7936	that we use gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, since it AC_REQUIREs them.
7937
7938	* Use autoconf-2.57d.  Regenerate dependent files.
7939
79402003-09-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

7963	* src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
7964
7965	* src/csplit.c (close_output_file): Don't report bogus errno value
7966	after ferror discovers an output error.  We don't know the proper
7967	errno value, since it might have been caused by any of a whole
7968	bunch of calls, and it might have been trashed in the meantime.
7969	Fixing this problem will require much more extensive changes;
7970	in the meantime just say "write error".
7971	* src/od.c (check_and_close, dump, dump_strings): Likewise.
7972	* src/uniq.c (check_file): Likewise.
7973
7974	* src/join.c (get_line): Report error right away if I/O fails,
7975	so that the proper errno value is used.

7977	* src/tee.c (tee): Likewise.
7978	* src/uniq.c (check_file): Likewise.
7979
7980	* src/od.c (skip): If a read fails, don't retry it later, so
7981	that we report the proper errno.
7982
7983	* src/tac.c (tac_mem): Don't return a value; nobody uses it.
7984
7985	* src/tee.c (tee): Once a write failure has occurred, don't bother
7986	writing anything more to that stream.
7987
7988	* src/uniq.c (check_file): Check for ferror (stdout) even if
7989	ostream == stdout.
7990
7991	* src/yes.c (UNROLL): Remove.
7992	(main): Exit immediately when write failure is detected.
7993	Simplify code by assigning to argv when argc == 1.

7998	(WRITTEN_BY): Change "Franc,ois" (actually using
7999	c-with-cedilla in Latin-1) to "F.", so that it's ASCII, as
8000	xgettext requires.
8001
80022003-09-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8003
8004	`du -D symlink-to-dir' would mistakenly omit the slash in

8014
8015	* src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Rename parameter, Authors,
8016	to Written_by.
8017	* nearly all src/*.c files (WRITTEN_BY): Rename from AUTHORS.
8018	Begin each WRITTEN_BY string with `Written by ' and end it with `.'.

8060
8061	* Use automake-1.7.7.  Regenerate dependent files.
8062
8063	* tests/Makefile.am (all_programs): Use ../src/tr -s ' ' '\n' in place
8064	of `fmt -1'.  Using the just-built tr is a little cleaner.
8065	Christian Krackowizer reported that HPUX 10.20 doesn't have fmt.

8074
8075	* Makefile.maint (GZIP_ENV): Remove --rsyncable.

8077	in wide enough use.
8078
8079	* Version 5.0.91.
8080

8092	Complete the change of 2003-08-02.
8093
8094	* Makefile.maint (po-check): Use cvsu, so that a temporary source
8095	file in lib/ or src/ doesn't induce an unwarranted failure.
8096	Add a kludge to filter out the sole generated source file that
8097	also has translatable messages: src/false.c.
8098
80992003-09-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8100

8109
8110	* src/sort.c (sort_buffer_size): Omit SIZE_BOUND arg.  Compute the
8111	size_bound ourselves. if an input file is a pipe and the user
8112	specified a size, use that size instead of trying to guess the
8113	pipe size.  This has the beneficial side effect of avoiding the
8114	overhead of default_sort_size in that case.  All callers changed.
8115	(sort): Remove static var size; now done by sort_buffer_size.
8116
81172003-09-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

8129
8130	* src/head.c (struct linebuffer): Change nbytes and nlines
8131	from unsigned int to size_t.  unsigned int is safe (after the
8132	2003-09-03 patch) but size_t is cleaner.
8133	* src/tail.c (struct linebuffer, struct charbuffer): Likewise.
8134	(pipe_bytes): Likewise for local variable 'i', which was 'int'.
8135
8136	Standardize on BUFSIZ as opposed to other macro names and values.
8137	* src/head.c (BUFSIZE): Remove.  All uses changed to BUFSIZ.
8138	* src/tail.c (BUFSIZ) [!defined BUFSIZ]: Remove.
8139	stdio.h has always defined it,
8140	and other code already assumes it's defined.
8141	* src/tr.c (BUFSIZ) [!defined BUFSIZ]: Likewise.
8142	(IO_BUF_SIZE): Remove; replace all uses with sizeof io_buf.
8143	(io_buf): IO_BUF_SIZE -> BUFSIZ.
8144
81452003-09-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8146
8147	* src/seq.c (step): Default to 1.
8148	(print_numbers): Allow the output to be empty.
8149	(main): The default step is 1, even if LAST < FIRST;
8150	as per documentation.
8151	* tests/seq/basic (onearg-2): Output should be empty.
8152
81532003-09-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8154
8155	* Makefile.cfg (wget_files): Temporarily disable, until master
8156	versions are restored to ftp.gnu.org.
8157
8158	* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Specify automake-1.7.6.
8159
8160	Make seq's --width (-w) option work properly even when the
8161	endpoint requiring the larger width is negative and smaller than
8162	the other endpoint.
8163	* src/seq.c (get_width_format): Include `-' in the set of bytes
8164	allowed in a `simple' number (no decimal point, no exponent).
8165	Reported by Patrick Mauritz.
8166
81672003-09-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8168
8169	* NEWS: sort -t '\0' now uses a NUL tab.
8170	sort option order no longer matters, unless POSIX requires it.
8171	* src/sort.c (usage): Say "blanks" instead of "whitespace",
8172	Similar fixes for many comments.
8173	(TAB_DEFAULT): New constant, so that we can support NUL as
8174	the field separator.
8175	(tab): Now int, not char.  Initialize to TAB_DEFAULT.
8176	(specify_sort_size): If multiple sizes are specified, use the largest.
8177	(begfield, limfield): Support NUL tab char.
8178	(set_ordering): Do not let -i override -d.
8179	(main): Report an error if incompatible -o or -t options are given.
8180	Report an error for "-t ''".  Allow "-t '\0'" to specify a NUL tab.

8190	* src/tail.c (pipe_lines): Don't truncate return value from safe_read.
8191	* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe): Likewise.
8192
81932003-09-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8194
8195	* src/du.c (AUTHORS): Remove Larry McVoy's name, since the relatively
8196	small amount of code from him was first moved to lib/human.c, and was
8197	subsequently rewritten entirely.
8198	* src/df.c (AUTHORS): Likewise.
8199
82002003-08-22  Lawrence Teo  <lcteo@uncc.edu>
8201
8202	* src/md5sum.c (split_3): Accept the BSD format for generic
8203	message digest modes.  Currently works with BSD's MD5 and SHA1
8204	formats since these are the two algorithms presently used in
8205	coreutils.  Updated comments to reflect this change.
8206	(bsd_split_3): Updated comments.
8207
8208	* tests/md5sum/basic-1: New test to make sure that
8209	`md5sum --check' doesn't accept the BSD SHA1 format (adapted
8210	from `check-bsd' test in tests/sha1sum/basic-1).
8211
8212	* tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (check-bsd2, check-bsd3): New tests for
8213	--check exit status and BSD SHA1 format (adapted from tests
8214	in tests/md5sum/basic-1).
8215
82162003-08-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8217
8218	* src/ln.c (do_link): Use SAME_INODE rather than open-coding it.
8219
8220	When source and destination arguments refer to the same file, reside
8221	on a partition (e.g. VFAT) on which distinct names may refer to the
8222	same directory entry (often due to variations in case), and when the
8223	link count for the file is 1, mv no longer unlinks the file.  Instead,
8224	it gives the expected diagnostic that the source and destination are
8225	the same.  WARNING: this is an incomplete fix.  If the file happens
8226	to have a link count of 2 or greater, such an erroneous mv command
8227	will still unlink it.
8228	Although that is not possible on vfat or umsdos, it is possible on
8229	other file system types, e.g., ntfs, and hpfs.
8230	* src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Invoke same_name (which might still
8231	return false for names that refer to the same directory entry)
8232	only if the link count is 2 or more.
8233	* tests/mv/vfat: Show how to demonstrate the above problem.
8234	This test is not run.
8235	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add vfat.
8236
82372003-08-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8238
8239	* src/who.c: Change meaning of -l from --lookup to --login, per POSIX.
8240	who's -l option has been eliciting an unconditional warning about
8241	this impending change since sh-utils-2.0.12 (April 2002).
8242
8243	* src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Don't output `EOF' (aka -1) as a `char'.
8244	This would happen for nonempty files not ending with a newline.
8245	Reported by Dan Jacobson.
8246	* tests/misc/paste-no-nl: New file.  Test for above-fixed bug.
8247	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add paste-no-nl.
8248
8249	* src/stat.c (print_it): Avoid buffer overrun that would
8250	occur when the user-specified format string ends with `%'.
8251	Patch by Tommi Kyntola.
8252	* tests/misc/stat-fmt: New file.  Test for above-fixed bug.
8253	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-fmt.
8254
82552003-08-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8256
8257	Apply changes from bison.
8258	* GNUmakefile (SHELL): Define to `sh', if necessary.
8259	Add copyright.
8260	* Makefile.maint (WGETFLAGS): Define to `-C off'.
8261	Update all uses of $(WGET).
8262
82632003-08-22  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>
8264
8265	* Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): New.
8266	* Makefile.maint (local-check): Rename as...
8267	(local-checks-available): this.
8268	(local-check): New.
8269
82702003-08-26  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>
8271
8272	* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): Neutralize "<#" as
8273	"<\#" to avoid magic from Gnus when posting parts of this script.
8274
82752003-08-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8276
8277	* src/stat.c (main): Warn about use of deprecated `-l' option.
8278
82792003-08-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8280
8281	* src/stat.c (do_stat): For link count at end of line, use %h format,
8282	instead of %-5h.  The latter would make stat emit trailing spaces.
8283	Reported by Dan Jacobson.
8284
82852003-08-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8286
8287	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_space_tab .x-sc_sun_os_names
8288
82892003-08-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8290
8291	* src/system.h: Include stdlib.h unconditionally,
8292	as we're now assuming that part of hosted C89.
8293
82942003-08-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8295
8296	* src/sys2.h (textdomain, bindtextdomain) [! ENABLE_NLS]: Define away,
8297	to avoid warnings from gcc.
8298
82992003-08-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8300
8301	Avoid unnecessary and sometimes time-consuming hostname lookups.
8302	* src/who.c (print_user): Use strchr, not strrchr.
8303	* src/pinky.c (print_entry): Likewise.
8304	Patch by Michael Stone.
8305	This fixes a typo I introduced in who-users.c on 1996-02-23.
8306
8307	* Makefile.maint (makefile-check): Add 0-9 to the range of characters
8308	disallowed between `@...@'.
8309
83102003-08-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8311
8312	* configure.ac (fu_cv_sys_truncating_statfs): Remove; now
8313	done by gnulib .m4 files.
8314	(jm_DUMMY_1): Require gl_READUTMP, not jm_PREREQ_READUTMP.
8315	* src/sys2.h (strtoull): Remove unused declaration.
8316
83172003-08-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8318
8319	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Ensure that generated PROGRAM.1 files
8320	are read-only.
8321
8322	* src/tail.c (tail_lines): Fix a potential (but very hard to exercise)
8323	race condition bug.  The bug would be triggered when tailing a file
8324	with file pointer not at beginning of file, and where the file was
8325	truncated to have a length of less than the initial offset at just
8326	the right moment (between the two lseek calls in this function).
8327
8328	An invalid initial value for *read_pos would result in
8329	`tail -n0 -f FILE' and `tail -c0 -f FILE' doing what amounted to a
8330	busy-wait rather than sleeping between iterations.  The bug manifests
8331	itself only when tailing regular files that are initially nonempty.
8332	* src/tail.c (tail_bytes): Set *read_pos to new file offset after
8333	each xlseek call.
8334	(tail_lines): Likewise, after lseek calls.
8335	Reported by Nick Estes.  See http://bugs.debian.org/205251 for details.
8336	* tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: New file.  Test for above fix.
8337	* tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tail-n0f.
8338
83392003-08-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8340
8341	* Makefile.maint (sc_space_tab): Use exclusion list in separate file.
8342	(sc_sun_os_names): Likewise.
8343	* .x-sc_space_tab, .x-sc_sun_os_names: New files.
8344
8345	* man/help2man: Remove some SPACEs before TAB.
8346
83472003-08-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8348
8349	* Makefile.maint (LC_ALL): Set to C.
8350	* man/Makefile.am (ASSORT): New var.
8351	(check-x-vs-1, programs): Use it.
8352	* src/Makefile.am (ASSORT, check-README, ../AUTHORS): Likewise.
8353	* tests/Makefile.am (ASSORT, all_programs): Likewise.
8354
83552003-08-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8356
8357	fold -s -wN would infloop for N < 8 with TABs in the input.
8358	E.g., this would not terminate: printf 'a\tb' | fold -w2 -s
8359	* src/fold.c (fold_file): Move contents of `else'-block
8360	out of conditional so it's used also for --spaces (-s).
8361	* tests/misc/fold: Test for the above fix.
8362	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fold.
8363
83642003-08-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8365
8366	* src/nice.c [!NICE_PRIORITY]: Include <sys/resource.h> after
8367	system.h so the types from time.h and sys/time.h are available.
8368	It appears that this is necessary for OpenBSD, NetBSD, and
8369	Darwin 6.5 (MacOS 10.2.5).  Reported by Nelson Beebe.
8370
83712003-08-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8372
8373	* NEWS: Add support for setting file timestamps to microsecond
8374	resolution, on hosts that support this.
8375	* src/copy.c, src/cp.c, src/install.c, src/touch.c: Include utimens.h.
8376	* src/copy.c (copy_internal):
8377	Set file timestamps with utimens, not utime.
8378	* src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
8379	* src/install.c (change_timestamps): Likewise.
8380	* src/touch.c (newtime, touch, main): Likewise.
8381
83822003-08-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8383
8384	* Makefile.maint (sc_sun_os_names): New rule based on a regexp
8385	from Paul Eggert.
8386	(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
8387
8388	* src/tail.c (main): Tweak Solaris OS version number in comment.
8389	* src/wc.c (wc): Likewise
8390	* tests/tail-2/fflush: Likewise.
8391
8392	* src/tail.c: Add new undocumented option, --presume-input-pipe.
8393	(pipe_lines): Use memchr to skip lines, rather than an explicit loop.
8394
83952003-08-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8396
8397	Use new gnulib 'extensions' module.
8398	* configure.ac: Invoke gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS instead of
8399	AC_GNU_SOURCE.
8400
84012003-08-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8402
8403	* tests/du/basic: Ensure that a/b/F has at least 65 bytes too.
8404
84052003-08-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8406
8407	* tests/misc/split-fail: Reflect that `split -a 0' is now accepted.
8408	For tests of obsolete behavior, don't presume that unsetting
8409	_POSIX2_VERSION is equivalent to _POSIX2_VERSION=199209.
8410
84112003-08-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8412
8413	* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation):
8414	Add -d or --numeric-suffixes option to 'split'.
8415	From a suggestion by Jesse Kornblum.
8416	* src/split.c (suffix_alphabet): New var.
8417	(longopts, usage, next_file_name, main): Support -d.
8418	(next_file_name, main): Allow -a0, as POSIX requires.
8419	(next_file_name): Don't assume ASCII-like encoding;
8420	'a' through 'z' are not contiguous in EBCDIC.
8421
84222003-08-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8423
8424	Merge getline from gnulib.
8425	* lib/getline.h, lib/getline.c, m4/getline.m4: Merge from gnulib.
8426	* lib/getndelim2.h, lib/getndelim2.c, m4/getndelim2.m4, m4/ssize_t.m4:
8427	New files, from gnulib.
8428	* lib/getdelim2.c, lib/getdelim2.h: Remove.
8429	* lib/Makefile.am (libfetish_a_SOURCES): Change getdelim2.c and
8430	getdelim2.h to getndelim2.c and getndelim2.h.
8431	* m4/jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Use gl_GETNDELIM2 rather than
8432	checking for getdelim.
8433	(jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Use gt_TYPE_SSIZE_T for ssize_t rather
8434	than rolling our own.
8435	* src/cut.c: Include getndelim2.h rather than getdelim2.h.
8436	(cut_fields): Invoke getndelim2 rather than getdelim2.
8437
84382003-08-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8439
8440	* src/sort.c (main): Use unsigned int instead of int for `nsigs'
8441	and for the indices to iterate through nsigs.
8442
84432003-08-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8444
8445	* src/sort.c: Minor code cleanups, mostly to use more accurate
8446	types and to remove unnecessary casts.
8447	(min, max): Remove.  All uses changed to MIN and MAX.
8448	(hard_lc_collate, hard_LC_TIME, struct buffer.eof, struct
8449	keyfield.skipsblanks, struct keyfield.skipeblanks, struct
8450	keyfield.numeric, struct keyfield.general_numeric, struct
8451	keyfield.month, struct keyfield.reverse, reverse, unique,
8452	have_read_stdin): Now bool, not int.  All uses changed.
8453	(eolchar): Now char, not int.
8454	(struct keyfield.ignore): Now bool const *, not int *.
8455	(struct keyfield.translate): Now char const *, not char *.
8456	(struct month.name): Likewise.
8457	(blanks, nonprinting, nondictionary): Now bool[], not int[].
8458	(cleanup, inittables, keycompare, check, mergefps, first_same_file,
8459	check, sort, main): Use const * pointers when possible.
8460	(month_cmp): Rewrite to avoid casts.
8461	(inittables): Initialize tables unconditionally, to avoid branches.
8462	(fillbuf): Return bool, not int.  All uses changed.
8463	(fillbuf, keycompare, new_key, main):
8464	Use SIZE_MAX rather than (size_t) -1.
8465	(trailing_blanks): Renamed from trim_trailing_blanks.
8466	Return the number of blanks to trim.  All uses changed.
8467	(getmonth): Use trailing_blanks rather than open code.
8468	(keycompare): Do not cast char * to unsigned char *; not needed.
8469	CMP_WITH_IGNORE converts args to UCHAR, so no need to convert it
8470	ourselves.
8471	(compare, main): Use | rather than || to avoid jumps.
8472	Replace "diff = NONZERO (alen)" with "diff = 1", since alen must
8473	be nonzero there.
8474	(check, first_same_file, sort, main):
8475	Use bool instead of int local vars when possible.
8476	(check): Merge the old 'checkfp' and 'check' into a single function,
8477	that returns a boolean (true if the file was ordered).
8478	All uses changed.
8479	(main): Use int instead of unsigned for iterating through nsigs.
8480	Rename local var "posix_pedantic" to "posixly_correct".
8481
84822003-08-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8483
8484	* src/nice.c [!NICE_PRIORITY]: Include <time.h> before <sys/resource.h>
8485	to avoid compilation error on Ultrix. Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
8486
8487	* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Don't read again after encountering an
8488	initial EOF.  E.g., `cut -f2' would do so.
8489	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Add a test for the above fix.
8490
8491	* src/sort.c (sortlines): Add description and references.
8492	From Paul Eggert.
8493
8494	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set PATH so that
8495	the tests in help-version will use the just-built binaries.
8496	Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
8497
84982003-07-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8499
8500	* NEWS: Add --rfc-2822 option to GNU date.
8501	* doc/coreutils.texi (Time directives, Options for date, Examples
8502	of date): Likewise.
8503	* src/date.c (long_options, usage, main): Likewise.
8504	* doc/getdate.texi (General date syntax): Likewise.
8505	* doc/coreutils.texi (Options for date): Fix a typo in format:
8506	it's now %d not %_d.  Add URLs.
8507
85082003-08-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8509
8510	* tests/shred/remove: Ensure that $? is 0 for the final `exit 0'.
8511	Otherwise, with at least the /bin/sh from HPUX 10.20,
8512	the trap code would end up converting that to exit 1 and thus an
8513	unexpected test failure.  Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
8514
85152003-07-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8516
8517	* src/ptx.c: Do not include bumpalloc.h.
8518	(WORD_TABLE): New member alloc.
8519	(ALLOC_NEW_WORD): Remove.
8520	(occurs_alloc): New var.
8521	(digest_word_file, find_occurs_in_text): Check for arithmetic
8522	overflow when computing table size.  Use xrealloc rather than
8523	bumpalloc primitives.
8524
85252003-07-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8526
8527	* Version 5.0.90.
8528
8529	* README: When running tests as root, suggest using
8530	sudo with NON_ROOT_USERNAME=$USER.
8531
8532	* tests/Makefile.am (all_programs): Makefile is in ../src, not
8533	$(srcdir)/../src.
8534
85352003-07-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8536
8537	* Makefile.maint (GZIP_ENV): Try Debian/gzip's new --rsyncable option.
8538
85392003-07-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8540
8541	* lib/stdbool.hin (_Bool): Make it signed char, instead of
8542	an enum type, so that it's guaranteed to promote to int.
8543	* src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Undo previous change.
8544
85452003-07-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8546
8547	* src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Declare local `swap' to be `int', not
8548	`bool'.  Otherwise, at least one buggy compiler (alpha gcc-2.95.4)
8549	would cause lines[-1 - swap] (with swap = false) to evaluate to
8550	lines[4294967295].
8551
85522003-07-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8553
8554	* tests/priv-check (my_uid): Use `!', not `^' in case pattern `[!0-9]',
8555	since /bin/sh of at least NetBSD 1.6 and OpenBSD 3.2 don't accept `^'.
8556
8557	* src/remove.c (prompt) [! recursive]: Don't prompt about unwritable
8558	directories, as required by POSIX.   Reported by Karl Berry.
8559	* tests/rm/dir-no-w: New file.  Test for the above fix.
8560	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-no-w.
8561
8562	* tests/mk-script: Emit `$xx', not its expansion.
8563
85642003-07-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8565
8566	This change was inspired by a similar proposal by Stepan Kasal.
8567	* src/sort.c (mergelines, sortlines_temp): New functions.
8568	(sortlines): Use them, to reduce the number of times that
8569	we need to copy 'struct line' values.  This improved CPU
8570	performance by about 30% on one 18 MB test.
8571	(sort): Don't invoke sortlines unless we have 2 or more lines.
8572
85732003-07-26  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
8574
8575	* src/sort.c (sort): Don't require two `struct line's per text line,
8576	the new sort algorithm requires just 1.5.
8577
85782003-07-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8579
8580	* src/pathchk.c (validate_path): Use %lu, not %ld.
8581	From Paul Eggert.
8582	* src/cut.c (is_printable_field): Simplify bit arithmetic.
8583	From Paul Eggert.
8584	* src/ls.c (sort_files): Put `volatile' in the right place.
8585	From Paul Eggert.
8586
85872003-07-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8588
8589	Use only one bit per field/offset in array, not one `int'.
8590	* src/cut.c (printable_field): Change type to `unsigned char'.
8591	(mark_printable_field, is_printable_field): New functions.
8592	Use them in place of all direct accesses of `printable_field'.
8593
8594	* src/expand.c (parse_tabstops): Detect overflow properly.
8595	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Likewise.
8596
8597	* src/rm.c: Include "dirname.h".
8598	(usage): Use base_name (program_name) in body of --help output.
8599	This lets me...
8600	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): ...back out the kludge of 2003-07-22.
8601	Idea from Brendan O'Dea, who suggested using
8602	`program_name = basename (argv[0]);' everywhere --
8603	can't do that, but using base_name works just fine here.
8604
8605	* src/Makefile.am (AM_INSTALLCHECK_STD_OPTIONS_EXEMPT): Exempt test.
8606
86072003-07-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8608
8609	Fix some POSIX-compliance problems with 'test'.  This makes
8610	'test' more compatible with Bash.
8611
8612	* NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi: Document the following.
8613	* src/test.c: Include exitfail.h.
8614	(TEST_FAILURE): New constant, used for exit status if 'test' fails.
8615	(test-syntax_error): Use it.
8616	(binary_operator): Now takes bool arg specifying whether left operand
8617	is -l ARG, so that caller determines this rather than us.
8618	All uses changed.
8619	(term): Use posixtest to evaluate parenthesized subexpressions.
8620	(unary_operator, one_argument): Remove support for -t without operand.
8621	(one_argument): Take argument from argv[pos].
8622	(one_argument, two_arguments, three_arguments): Advance pos.
8623	All callers changed.
8624	(three_arguments): Look for binary ops before "!".  Then look
8625	for parenthesized one_argument expressions, instead of trusting
8626	expr () to do the right thing.
8627	(posixtest): Now takes number of args.  All callers changed.
8628	Treat "( A B )" like "A B".
8629	(main): Set exit_failure to TEST_FAILURE.  Don't depend on
8630	POSIXLY_CORRECT, as we now conform to POSIX by default.
8631	(main) [!LBRACKET]: Do not recognize "--help" or "--verbose" unless.
8632	* tests/test/Test.pm (test_vector): Add several tests to check
8633	the above.  Syntax errors now exit with status 2, not 1.
8634	* man/Makefile.am (mapped_name): Use `../src/[' binary to create test.1.
8635
86362003-07-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8637
8638	* tests/help-version: Adjust for above change in test behavior:
8639	`[' exits with 2, not 1, and test doesn't accept --help or --version.
8640
8641	* Makefile.maint (ME): Don't use trick suggested in Make manual.
8642	It doesn't work for make-3.79.1.  Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
8643
8644	* Makefile.maint (sc_system_h_headers): Another syntax check.
8645	(syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
8646
8647	* src/pathchk.c (validate_path): Cast strlen value to `unsigned long'
8648	so it matches `%ld' format even on 32-bit systems.
8649
8650	* src/fmt.c (flush_paragraph): Cast field width to `int' to
8651	avoid warning on 64-bit systems.
8652
8653	* src/ls.c (sort_files): Make `func' volatile, so it can't be
8654	clobbered by a `longjmp' into this function.
8655
86562003-07-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8657
8658	* src/pathchk.c (validate_path): Use %ld format (not %d) for size_t
8659	value.
8660
8661	* tests/misc/split-fail: Disable the --line-bytes=$_4gb test,
8662	because it'd evoke spurious failure on 64-bit systems.
8663
86642003-07-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8665
8666	* src/dd.c (usage): Document the fact that SIGUSR1 makes dd
8667	output its current record counts.  Reported by Jurriaan.
8668
8669	* tests/wc/Test.pm (test_vector): Disable the `PIPE' tests when running
8670	`wc' with no options.  This goes along with the change of 2003-07-20.
8671
86722003-07-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8673
8674	Don't include headers already included by system.h:
8675	* src/tr.c: Don't include errno.h.
8676	* src/true.c: Don't include version-etc.h.
8677	* src/test.c: Don't include limits.h or error.h.
8678	* src/stat.c: Don't include unistd.h or time.h.
8679	* src/readlink.c: Don't include stdlib.h, unistd.h, or limits.h.
8680	* src/pr.c: Don't include time.h.
8681	* src/pathchk.c: Don't include errno.h.
8682	* src/nice.c: Don't include sys/time.h.
8683	* src/ls.c: Don't include stdlib.h.
8684
8685	* basename.c, cat.c, chroot.c, cksum.c, comm.c, csplit.c, cut.c, date.c:

8692	* uniq.c, uptime.c, users.c, wc.c, who.c, whoami.c, yes.c:
8693	Don't include closeout.h.
8694
8695	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Add a check for whether $NON_ROOT_USERNAME
8696	can access the required version of rm.
8697	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define PACKAGE_VERSION.
8698
8699	* tests/cut/Test.pm (out-delim3a): New test.
8700
8701	* man/help2man: Update to version 1.33.
8702
8703	* src/expand.c (parse_tabstops): Detect overflow in tabstop sizes.
8704
8705	* src/dircolors.c: Include xstrndup.h.
8706	(xstrndup): Remove function, now that it's been factored out into
8707	it's own file.
8708
87092003-07-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8710
8711	* src/wc.c (wc): Fix typo in computation of file from file_x,
8712	which caused the former to be used uninitialized if file_x was
8713	nonzero.
8714
87152003-07-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8716
8717	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Use xcalloc in place of xmalloc+memset.
8718
8719	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Substitute 's,$t/$*,$*,' on output of
8720	help2man, to avoid having `rm.td/rm' appear in rm.1.  Reported by
8721	Thomas Luzat.  See http://bugs.debian.org/202413 for details.
8722
8723	* src/cut.c (main) [lint]: Initialize spec_list_string to avoid warning.
8724
8725	* src/hostid.c: Don't include <unistd.h>.  system.h already does that.
8726
8727	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Mark all selected indices before trying to
8728	determine range endpoints.
8729	* tests/cut/Test.pm: New test for the above fix.
8730
8731	Begin to address this comment: What if someone wants to
8732	extract the 1,000,000-th field of some huge input file?
8733	The first step is to rearrange things so that the values
8734	in the printable_field array are all 0/1 rather than 0/1/2.
8735	* src/cut.c (RANGE_START_SENTINEL): Remove.
8736	Store range-start indices in a hash table, rather than
8737	overloading the `printable_field' array.
8738	(range_start_ht): New global.
8739	(hash_int, hash_compare_ints, is_range_start_index): New functions.
8740	(print_kth): Use is_range_start_index; don't test printable_field.
8741	(set_fields): Detect overflow.
8742	(set_fields): Insert each range-start index into range_start_ht.
8743	(main): Call set_fields only once, and only after
8744	output_delimiter_specified and (if required) range_start_ht have
8745	been defined.
8746
87472003-07-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8748
8749	* src/wc.c (get_input_fstatus): Fix typo: `stat' was being
8750	invoked with a null pointer when there were no file arguments.
8751
87522003-07-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8753
8754	* Makefile.maint (sc_changelog): Add another nit-picky check.
8755
8756	* src/wc.c (write_counts): Add a comment.
8757	(wc): Rename `file' parameter.
8758	Set new local, `file', to be the file name, or (when it's NULL)
8759	_("standard output") so that all uses of `file' use the proper value.
8760	Use STREQ, not strcmp.
8761
87622003-07-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8763
8764	wc count field widths now are heuristically adjusted depending
8765	on the input size, if known.  If only one count is printed, it
8766	is guaranteed to be printed without leading spaces.
8767
8768	Previously, wc did not align the count fields if
8769	POSIXLY_CORRECT was set, but POSIX did not actually require
8770	this undesirable behavior, so it has been removed.
8771
8772	* NEWS: Document this.
8773	* doc/coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Likewise.
8774
8775	* src/wc.c (number_width): New var.
8776	(posixly_correct): Remove.
8777	(struct fstatus): New struct.
8778	(write_counts): Output fields of width number_width.
8779	Do not worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT.
8780	Use null file, not empty-string file, to denote stdin,
8781	since "" is a valid file name on some hosts.
8782	(wc, wc_file): New arg fstatus.  Use it to avoid invoking fstat
8783	if possible.
8784	(wc):  Avoid problems if end_pos - current_pos overflows.
8785	Do not print odd message if stdin has a read error.
8786	(get_input_fstatus, compute_number_width): New functions.
8787	(main): Use them to implement the new behavior.
8788	Ignore POSIXLY_CORRECT.
8789
8790	* tests/wc/Test.pm: Adjust to the new output widths.
8791
87922003-07-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8793
8794	* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Don't create temporary directory --
8795	we don't use it.
8796
8797	* tests/shred/remove: Don't open-code test for UID != 0.
8798	Use priv-check's require-non-root instead.
8799	Update to use newer framework.
8800
8801	* tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_expr): Record that
8802	expr exits with status of 3 for e.g., a write error.
8803
8804	* tests/priv-check: Use `id -u' to see if we're running as root,
8805	rather than trying go write to an write-protected file.
8806	When running as root, ensure $NON_ROOT_USERNAME is valid.
8807	When running as root with `require-non-root', ensure that `.'
8808	is writable by $NON_ROOT_USERNAME, then reinvoke $0 set-user-ID
8809	to $NON_ROOT_USERNAME.  If `.' is not writable, then skip the test.
8810
8811	* src/printenv.c: Include "exitfail.h".
8812	(main): Set exit_failure rather than calling close_stdout_set_status.
8813	* src/date.c: Likewise.
8814	* src/sort.c: Likewise.
8815	* src/tty.c: Likewise.
8816
88172003-07-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8818
8819	* tests/touch/not-owner: Update to use newer framework.
8820
8821	* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use $srcdir/../priv-check, create a temporary
8822	directory, and remove Perl-coded `you may not run as root' test.
8823	* tests/cp/fail-perm: Use $srcdir/../priv-check, rather than
8824	hard-coding something not quite equivalent.
8825	Paul Jarc reported the inconsistent diagnostics.
8826
8827	* src/sort.c (main): Use close_stdout via atexit.
8828	Now `sort --version' and `sort --help' fail, as they should
8829	when their output is redirected to /dev/full.
8830
8831	* src/su.c (usage): Don't call close_stdout here.
8832	(main): Use close_stdout via atexit.
8833	Now `su --version > /dev/full' fails, as it should.
8834	Somehow, the change of 2000-05-07 that purports to fix this
8835	was not checked in.
8836
8837	* tests/help-version (--help/--version vs. /dev/full): Special-case
8838	`[' to protect it from expected_failure_status-`eval'.
8839
8840	* src/uniq.c (writeline): Use a SPACE, not a TAB between the
8841	count and the corresponding line, as required by POSIX.
8842	Reported by Clement Wang.
8843	* tests/uniq/Test.pm (101, 102): Update tests of -c accordingly.
8844
8845	* tests/expr/basic: Add tests for when exit status is 2.
8846
8847	* src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE, NOHUP_FAILURE):
8848	Use an anonymous `enum', rather than #define.
8849
88502003-07-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
8851
8852	* src/expr.c: Include "exitfail.h", "quotearg.h".
8853	(EXPR_INVALID, EXPR_ERROR): New constants.
8854	(nomoreargs, null, toarith, nextarg): Return bool, not int.
8855	(syntax_error): New function, exiting with status 2.  Use it
8856	insteading of printing "syntax error" ourselves.
8857	(main): Initialize exit_failure to EXPR_ERROR.
8858	Exit with EXPR_INVALID on syntax error (too few arguments).
8859	(nextarg): Use strcmp, not strcoll; strcoll might return
8860	an undesirable 0, or might fail.
8861	(docolon, eval4, eval3): Exit with status 3 on invalid argument type
8862	or other such error.
8863	(eval2): Report an error if strcoll fails in a string comparison.
8864	* src/sort.c: Include "exitfail.h".
8865	(main): Set exit_failure, not xalloc_exit_failure and
8866	xmemcoll_exit_failure.
8867	* tests/expr/basic: Invalid value exits with status 3, not 2.
8868
88692003-07-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8870
8871	* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Use 5.0.90 as the version, rather than 5.0.2,
8872	per GNU maintainer guidelines.  The next non-beta release will be 5.1.
8873
8874	This script would have caught at least two recent bugs:
8875	those in [ and kill.
8876	* tests/help-version: Revive this script.
8877	It wasn't doing anything useful, since $all_programs wasn't being
8878	defined by the invoking Makefile.am.
8879	Reflect that nohup is no longer a script, so don't exclude it.
8880	Add framework to handle the programs added since it was last run:
8881	kill, stat, unlink, [, link, readlink.
8882	Fix path-related problems deriving from the move of this script
8883	from src/ to its present location.
8884	* tests/Makefile.am (all_programs): Define.
8885	(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use it.
8886
8887	* src/kill.c (main): Fix bug introduced on 2003-05-10 (for 5.0.1)
8888	whereby kill would always attempt to operate on argv[0] and fail.
8889
8890	* src/test.c (integer_expected_error): Improve diagnostic -- now,
8891	it also matches the one from bash's builtin test.
8892	(binary_operator): Add \n at end of diagnostic.
8893
8894	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Remove setuidgid-related code.  Move it to ...
8895	* tests/priv-check: Move setuidgid-related and
8896	NON_ROOT_USERNAME-checking code to this file.
8897
8898	* README: Update section on testing as `root'.
8899	Suggestion from Paul Jarc.
8900
8901	* src/test.c (AUTHORS): Replace 3-letter usernames with the actual
8902	names of authors that I just found in bash's builtins/test.def.
8903
8904	Running `[' with no arguments would evoke a segfault.
8905	* src/test.c (main) [LBRACKET]: Move initialization of argv to
8906	precede potential use via test_syntax_error.
8907
8908	* src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Rename from `INCLUDES', to avoid
8909	warning from automake -Wall.
8910
89112003-07-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8912
8913	* Version 5.0.1.
8914
8915	* Makefile.maint (%.asc): Remove target first, so gpg doesn't
8916	prompt us about it.
8917
8918	* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): Relax tests for matching
8919	version-number line in NEWS.
8920	Change the .sig suffix to .asc here, too.
8921
89222003-07-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8923
8924	* Makefile.maint (%.asc): Renamed from %.sig.
8925	Generate and use ascii-armored signatures.
8926	Use gpg's -o option.
8927
89282003-07-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8929
8930	* src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FAILURE, NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE): Define.
8931	(main): Use them.
8932
8933	* Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Move each individual check into
8934	its own target.
8935	(syntax-check-rules): This is the list of syntax-check targets.
8936	(sc_unmarked_diagnostics, sc_cast_of_argument_to_free):
8937	(sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value, sc_space_tab):
8938	(sc_error_exit_success, sc_xalloc_h_in_src):  New targets.
8939
89402003-07-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8941
8942	* configure.ac: Remove uses of OPTIONAL_BIN_ZCRIPTS and last
8943	traces of the nohup script.
8944
8945	* src/Makefile.am (bin_SCRIPTS): Remove use of just-removed
8946	$(OPTIONAL_BIN_ZCRIPTS).
8947
8948	* src/Makefile.am (localedir.h): Put the `2>&1' after the redirect
8949	target, not before the `>'.
8950
8951	* src/remove.c (remove_dir): Give a diagnostic upon failed save_cwd,
8952	now that that function no longer calls `error'.
8953
8954	* src/df.c (find_mount_point): Emit a diagnostic for each
8955	failed syscall, rather than relying on caller to do that.
8956	The caller couldn't do a good job, anyhow -- too many different
8957	ways to fail (each with a different referent).
8958	Give a diagnostic upon failed save_cwd, now that that function
8959	no longer calls `error'.
8960	(show_point): Don't diagnose find_mount_point's errors, now that
8961	it handles them itself.
8962
8963	* src/df.c (find_mount_point): Don't let free clobber errno upon
8964	failed chdir.
8965
8966	* src/sys2.h: Remove alloca-related block.
8967	* src/system.h: Include <alloca.h> here, instead.
8968
8969	It appears that the `#pragma alloca' included via "system.h" is
8970	adequate, since join.c uses alloca, yet lacked an in-file #pragma.
8971	* src/copy.c, src/cp.c, src/df.c, src/install.c, src/ln.c:
8972	* src/ls.c, src/mv.c, src/remove.c: Remove `#pragma alloca'.
8973
8974	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Do not restore any special
8975	permission bits (e.g., set-user-ID, set-group-ID) that are reset
8976	by chown(2) on some systems.  Suggestion and insistence :-) from
8977	Michael Stone.
8978
8979	* tests/input-tty: Also check `test -t 1'.
8980	This is necessary on linux-2.4.21.  Otherwise, the stty/basic-1
8981	test would block when run in the background.
8982
89832003-07-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
8984
8985	* tests/sample-test: Also fail if cat-to-create-expected-output
8986	fails.  Otherwise, if both `exp' and `out' were to end up empty
8987	because of e.g., a full disk, they would mistakenly compare equal.
8988
8989	* src/nohup.c: New file.  Rewrite of nohup.sh in C.
8990	This solves a portability problem: on at least Solaris systems,
8991	when nohup.sh used the vendor /bin/sh, it would exit with status
8992	of `1' rather than the required 126 or 127 upon failure to exec
8993	the specified program.
8994
8995	* src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_SCRIPTS): Remove definition.
8996	(bin_PROGRAMS): Add nohup.
8997	(EXTRA_DIST): Remove nohup.sh.
8998	(all_programs): Remove use of $(EXTRA_SCRIPTS).
8999	* src/nohup.sh: Remove file.
9000	* man/Makefile.am (nohup.1): Depend on nohup.c, rather than nohup.sh.
9001
9002	* tests/misc/nohup: Tests for the above.
9003	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nohup.

9096
9097	* src/copy.c (copy_internal) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:

9120
9121	* src/readlink.c: Include <sys/types.h> before system.h (because
9122	the latter includes <sys/stat.h>).  Required on Ultrix 4.3.
9123
91242003-06-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9125
9126	* src/system.h (initialize_main): Define.
9127	Use it in every `main'.  Applied via this:

9130	  $(grep -l program_name.=.argv.0 *.c)
9131	test.c uses margc/margv, so I made the change manually for that file.

9156	* src/touch.c (touch): Call close only if necessary.
9157	From Bruno Haible.

9202
9203	Avoid unnecessary copying of environment.
9204	* src/env.c (main): Rather than clearing the environment and --
9205	unless told to ignore environment -- copying all settings from
9206	the saved, original environment, clear the environment only when
9207	that is requested.  Suggested by Jens Elkner.
9208
92092003-06-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9210

9256	* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe): Fix a thinko.
9257	This sort of thing is why it'd be *Really Good* to factor

9274	in e.g. 1,000,000 and 1,048,576.  Instead, do this:

9287	* src/uniq.c (enum output_mode, mode): Remove, replacing with:
9288	(output_unique, output_first_repeated, output_later_repeated):

9348	Remove that (redundant) first use.
9349	Don't exit successfully just because --verbose was specified.

9351	parameter is 0, error does not exit.
9352
9353	* src/uname.c (main): When failing due to too many arguments, also say
9354	that, rather than just "Try `uname --help' for more information.".

9425	* src/head.c: Include full-write.h, full-read.h, inttostr.h, quote.h.
9426	Use quote() in diagnostics, rather than literal `' marks.
9427	(copy_fd, elide_tail_bytes_pipe, elide_tail_bytes_file):
9428	New functions.
9429	(elide_tail_lines_pipe, elide_tail_lines_file): New functions.
9430	(head_file): Reorganize so as to call head from only one place.
9431	(main): Likewise, for head_file.
9432	Handle new, undocumented option, --presume-input-pipe.
9433	Handle negative line and byte counts.
9434	* tests/head/Test.pm: Add lots of tests to exercise --bytes=-N.
9435
9436	* tests/du/8gb: Skip test if the file system of `.' doesn't support
9437	sparse files -- otherwise it'd create a file of size 8GB.
9438
94392003-05-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9440
9441	* src/fmt.c (usage): Don't mention obsolescent -WIDTH option.
9442	Instead explain about `-' and standard input.
9443	(main): Give a proper diagnostic for e.g., `fmt -c -72'.
9444	Reported by Keith Thompson.
9445	* tests/fmt/basic: Add test for the above fix.
9446
9447	* src/fmt.c: Include "quote.h".
9448	Use quote() in diagnostics, rather than literal `' marks.
9449	(main): Exit nonzero when unable to open an input file.
9450	* tests/fmt/basic: Add test for the above fix.
9451
9452	* src/fmt.c (main): Diagnose invalid suffix on obsolescent width
9453	specifications like `-72x'.
9454	* tests/fmt/basic: Add test for the above fix.
9455
9456	Work around nasty readdir bug on Darwin6.5.
9457	* src/remove.c (IF_READDIR_NEEDS_REWINDDIR): Define.
9458	[! HAVE_WORKING_READDIR] (remove_cwd_entries): If readdir has just
9459	returned NULL and there has been at least one successful unlink or
9460	rmdir call since the opendir or previous rewinddir, then call
9461	rewinddir and reiterate the loop.
9462
9463	Factor out common code.
9464	* src/remove.c (readdir_ignoring_dotdirs): New function.
9465	(is_empty_dir): Use it here.
9466	(remove_cwd_entries): Use it here.
9467
94682003-05-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9469
9470	* tests/rm/r-3: Create 500 rather than just 300 files.
9471	There's a bug in Darwin6.5's readdir that shows up only with
9472	338 or more files.
9473	Fix a bug in this test: `cd $pwd' (not to `..'), now that $tmp
9474	has two components.
9475
9476	* src/tail.c:
9477	Change type of n_units, n_bytes, n_lines to be `uintmax_t'.
9478	(dump_remainder): Move two declarations `down' into the scope
9479	where they are used.
9480	(xlseek): Return the resulting offset.
9481	(file_lines): Rename parameter, file_length, to end_pos.
9482	(pipe_lines): Don't coerce safe_read return value to `int'.
9483	Adapt tests accordingly.
9484	(pipe_bytes) [struct charbuffer] (nbytes): Change type from `int'
9485	to `unsigned int'.
9486	Change type of `total_bytes' from `int' to `size_t',
9487	since the former wouldn't always be wide enough.
9488	Don't coerce safe_read return value to `int',
9489	and adapt tests accordingly.
9490	Now that testing for a read error no longer involves
9491	using `tmp', handle that case *after* freeing `tmp'.
9492	(start_bytes): Clean up.
9493	(tail_bytes): Now that `n_bytes' may be larger than
9494	OFF_T_MAX, test for that condition and, if it's true, don't
9495	use lseek optimizations.
9496	(parse_options): Don't fail just because N_UNITS is larger than
9497	the maximum size of a file -- tail may be applied to an input
9498	stream (e.g., a pipe) with more data than that.
9499
9500	* Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Rename from alloc-check.
9501	Also check for SPACE-TAB sequences.
9502	Also check for malloc/calloc/realloc casts.
9503
95042003-05-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9505
9506	* src/tail.c (start_lines): Rewrite to use memchr.  Clean up.
9507
95082003-04-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9509
9510	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Send two tokens, not just one, so we don't
9511	make the now-more-picky tsort fail.
9512
95132003-04-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9514
9515	* src/tsort.c (tsort): Remove unnecessary test of have_read_stdin.
9516	(main): Minor syntactic clean-up.
9517
9518	* src/tsort.c (tsort): Fail if the input contains an odd number of
9519	tokens.  Reported by junkio@cox.net.
9520
9521	* tests/tsort/basic-1: Test for the above fix.
9522
95232003-04-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

9528
95292003-04-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
9530
9531	Fix printf POSIX compatibility bug reported by Ben Harris in
9532	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-04/msg00070.html>.
9533	* doc/coreutils.texi (printf invocation): It's \NNN in the format,
9534	\0NNN in the %b operand.
9535	* src/printf.c (usage): Likewise.
9536	(print_esc): New arg OCTAL0 to specify whether \0NNN or \NNN
9537	is desired.  All uses changed.  Behave like Bash printf if %b
9538	operand uses \NNN where the initial N is not 0.
9539
95402003-04-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9541
9542	* src/stty.c: Remove uses of PROTOTYPE macro.
9543
95442003-04-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9545
9546	* Makefile.maint: Remove (or replace-with-TAB(s) to retain alignment)
9547	each sequence of spaces before a TAB character.
9548
95492003-04-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9550
9551	* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Don't closedir (NULL).
9552
95532003-04-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9554
9555	Giving nl an invalid STYLE argument (in --header-numbering=STYLE (-h),
9556	--body-numbering=STYLE (-b), or --footer-numbering=STYLE (-f)) or
9557	FORMAT (--number-format=FORMAT (-n)) would not give a useful diagnostic.
9558	* src/nl.c (main): Fix those problems and remove literal quote marks
9559	(e.g., "`%s'") from format string; instead use "%s" in each format
9560	string and `quote (optarg)' as the corresponding argument.
9561	Also, diagnose all invalid command line options before failing.
9562
9563	* src/nl.c (proc_text): Fix a bug that would make nl output extra
9564	newlines in some cases.  Details here: http://bugs.debian.org/177256.
9565	This bug was introduced on 2001-11-10 for textutils-2.0.17.
9566	* tests/misc/nl: Add test for the above-fixed bug.
9567
9568	* tests/misc/readlink: New file.  Test the --canonicalize option.
9569	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add readlink.
9570
95712003-04-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9572
9573	Clean up.
9574	* src/chown.c, src/cp.c, src/dircolors.hin, src/du.c, src/ln.c:
9575	* src/mkfifo.c, src/ptx.c, src/spline.c, src/stty.c, src/tail.c:
9576	* src/test.c, src/unexpand.c: Remove (or replace-with-TAB(s) to
9577	retain alignment) each sequence of spaces before a TAB character.
9578
9579	* src/ls.c: Include <stdlib.h> unconditionally.
9580
9581	* Makefile.maint (xalloc-check): Rename from header-check.
9582
9583	* src/yes.c: Include error.h after system.h, not before.
9584
9585	Clean up.
9586	* src/copy.c, src/cp-hash.c, src/cp.c, src/csplit.c, src/cut.c:
9587	* src/date.c, src/df.c, src/du.c, src/expand.c, src/expr.c, src/id.c:
9588	* src/join.c, src/md5sum.c, src/nl.c, src/od.c, src/paste.c, src/pr.c:
9589	* src/ptx.c, src/sort.c, src/split.c, src/su.c, src/tail.c, src/tee.c:
9590	* src/tr.c: * src/unexpand.c, src/users.c:
9591	Remove anachronistic casts of xmalloc, xrealloc, and xcalloc
9592	return values and of xrealloc's first argument.
9593	Fix the former with this:
9594	perl -pi -e 's/\([^(]*?\*\) *(x(m|c|re)alloc)\b/$1/'
9595
95962003-04-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9597
9598	* src/stty.c (wrapf): Declare with format attribute.
9599
9600	The S_MAGIC_... names shouldn't be maintained in two places (prior
9601	to this change, one would have to keep stat.c and fs.h in sync).
9602	This change makes it so those names and the corresponding
9603	hexadecimal constants all reside in stat.c.  fs.h is now generated.
9604	* src/Makefile.am (fs.h): New rule to generate fs.h from stat.c.
9605	(BUILT_SOURCES): Add fs.h, now that it's generated.
9606	(EXTRA_DIST): Add extract-magic.
9607	* src/extract-magic: New script to extract fs.h definitions from stat.c.
9608	* src/stat.c (human_fstype) [__linux__]: Append each hex constant from
9609	fs.h in a comment after the corresponding `case S_MAGIC_...:' statement.
9610
9611	* tests/tail-2/big-4gb: Skip this test (don't fail) if creating a
9612	file with nominal length > 4GB fails.  Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
9613
9614	* man/unexpand.x: Add `SEE ALSO' reference to expand.
9615	* man/expand.x: Add `SEE ALSO' reference to unexpand.
9616	Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
9617
96182003-04-10  Maciej W. Rozycki  <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>
9619
9620	* src/fs.h (S_MAGIC_DEVPTS): New magic for Linux's devpts.
9621	* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Handle Linux's devpts.
9622
96232003-04-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
9624
9625	* src/split.c (line_bytes_split): Arg is of type size_t, since
9626	that's all that is supported for now.
9627	(main): Check for overflow in obsolescent line count option.
9628
96292003-04-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9630
9631	* tests/misc/split-fail: Add a new test for the above fix.
9632
9633	* src/split.c (bytes_split): Use size_t temporary (rather than
9634	uintmax_t original) in remaining computations.  From Paul Eggert.
9635
9636	Handle command line option arguments larger than 2^31.
9637	This allows e.g., splitting into files of size 2GB and larger,
9638	and running split --lines=N with N=2^31 or more.
9639	But for --line-bytes=N, the restriction that N <= SIZE_MAX
9640	remains (for now), due to the way it is implemented.
9641
9642	* src/split.c: Include "inttostr.h".
9643	(bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split, main):
9644	Use uintmax_t, not size_t, for file sizes.
9645	(main): Give a better diagnostic for option arguments == 0.
9646	Use umaxtostr to print file sizes.
9647	Reported by Luke Hassell.
9648
96492003-04-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9650
9651	* src/rm.c (usage): Mention that --directory (-d) works only
9652	on some systems.  Suggestion from Samuel Tardieu.
9653
9654	* tests/basename/basic: Run $PERL to see if it is available,
9655	rather than testing its value.
9656	* tests/sum/sysv, tests/tsort/basic-1, tests/unexpand/basic-1:
9657	* tests/basename/basic, tests/dd/skip-seek, tests/dircolors/simple:
9658	* tests/expr/basic, tests/factor/basic, tests/fmt/basic:
9659	* tests/ls-2/tests, tests/md5sum/basic-1, tests/md5sum/newline-1:
9660	* tests/misc/sort, tests/misc/tty-eof, tests/mv/i-1:
9661	* tests/rm/empty-name, tests/rm/fail-eperm, tests/rm/unreadable:
9662	* tests/seq/basic, tests/sha1sum/basic-1, tests/sha1sum/sample-vec:
9663	* tests/sum/basic-1, tests/seq/basic: Likewise.
9664
9665	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add split-fail.
9666	* tests/misc/split-fail: New file.
9667
9668	* src/split.c: Rename local variables: nchars -> n_bytes.
9669	(lines_split): Rename local, nlines -> n_lines.
9670	(main): Rename local variable: s/accum/n_units/.
9671	(main): Use STDIN_FILENO, not literal `0'.
9672
96732003-04-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9674
9675	* src/stat.c: Add #include directives for Ultrix 4.4.
9676	Based on a suggested change from Bert Deknuydt.
9677
96782003-04-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9679
9680	* Makefile.maint (makefile-check): New rule.
9681	(local-check): Add it.
9682
96832003-04-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9684
9685	* Makefile.am (nearly all of them):
9686	Use $(VAR) rather than @VAR@, now that we can rely on automake to
9687	emit a definition for each substituted variable.
9688	* tests/Makefile.am.in: Likewise.
9689
9690	* tests/rm/rm5: Add a comment explaining why this test fails when
9691	using Tru64's broken sed.
9692	* tests/rm/rm3: Likewise.
9693
9694	Make `kill -t' output signal descriptions (not `?') on Tru64.
9695	* src/kill.c (sys_siglist): Also check for __sys_siglist.
9696	Patch by Tony Leneis.
9697	* configure.ac: Also check for declaration of __sys_siglist.
9698	Required for Tru64 4.0D, 4.0F, and 5.1.
9699	Reported by Tony Leneis.
9700
97012003-04-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9702
9703	* src/Makefile.am (PERL): Remove unnecessary definition.
9704
9705	Because of inappropriate (but POSIX-mandated) behavior of rename,
9706	`mv a b' would not remove `a' in some unusual cases.  Work around
9707	this by unlinking `a' when necessary.
9708
9709	* src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Add an output parameter.
9710	Set it in the offending case.
9711	(copy_internal): When necessary, unlink SRC_PATH and inform caller.
9712	Reported by Ed Avis.
9713	* tests/mv/hard-4: New test for the above.
9714	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-4.
9715
9716	Clean up rules for automatically generated sources:
9717	* src/Makefile.am (dircolors.h, wheel-size.h, wheel.h, false.c):
9718	Make each generated file be read-only.
9719	Add each file name to BUILT_SOURCES separately.
9720	(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Set to $(BUILT_SOURCES).
9721
9722	Put LOCALEDIR macro definition in new file: localedir.h.
9723	* src/Makefile.am (DEFS): Remove definition.
9724	(localedir.h): New rule.
9725	(BUILT_SOURCES, DISTCLEANFILES): Add localedir.h.
9726	* src/system.h: Include "localedir.h".
9727
97282003-04-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9729
9730	* Version 5.0.
9731
9732	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add false.
9733
9734	* Makefile.maint (TMPDIR): Make sure it's defined.
9735	(my-distcheck): Build in $(TMPDIR), not `.'.
9736
9737	* src/Makefile.am (false.c): Change all occurrences of
9738	`(EXIT_SUCCESS)' to `(EXIT_FAILURE)' so that false exits
9739	unsuccessfully also with --help.  Reported by Paul Jarc,
9740	* tests/misc/false: New test for the above.
9741
97422003-03-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9743
9744	* NEWS: Note the location of older NEWS files.
9745
9746	* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Don't let a failing closedir
9747	clobber errno.  Spotted by Arnold Robbins.
9748
9749	* src/env.c: Fix typo in comment.  From Arnold Robbins.
9750
97512003-03-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9752
9753	* Version 4.5.12.
9754
9755	* README: Note to expect build problems for stat.c on Ultrix 4.3.
9756	Note that there are some harmless test failures when running
9757	`make check' as root on some systems.
9758
97592003-03-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9760
9761	* tests/stty/row-col-1: Skip this test if stty can't get window size.
9762	This happens when connecting to sparc-solaris5.7 via ssh from within
9763	emacs.  Reported by Karl Berry.
9764
9765	* tests/du/basic: Use seq, not `yes' to generate 4KB of data.
9766	Otherwise, on systems (DJGPP) that emulate pipes using files,
9767	this test would never complete, waiting for `yes' to terminate.
9768	* tests/du/slink: As above, use seq, not `yes' to generate link target.
9769	* tests/rm/hash: As above, use seq, not `yes' to generate dir name.
9770	Reported by Rich Dawe.
9771
97722003-03-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9773
9774	* src/id.c: Remove Arnold Robbins' obsolete e-mail address
9775	from `written by...' comment, at his request.
9776
97772003-03-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
9778
9779	Fix buffer overrun problem reported by TAKAI Kousuke, along
9780	with some other POSIX incompatibilities.
9781
9782	* src/printf.c (print_esc): Do not treat \x specially if
9783	POSIXLY_CORRECT.  Avoid buffer overrun if the format ends
9784	in backslash.  Treat incomplete escape sequences as strings
9785	of characters, as POSIX requires.
9786	(print_formatted): Allow multiple flags.  Avoid buffer overrun
9787	if the format is incomplete.
9788
97892003-03-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9790
9791	* tests/misc/printf: Add tests for the above fixes and changes.
9792
97932003-03-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

9796
97972003-03-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9798
9799	* README: Describe problem with 64-bit mode on HPUX 11.x,
9800	with patch for /usr/include/inttypes.h.
9801	* TODO: Plan to add an autoconf test to work around the bug.
9802
98032003-03-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9804
9805	* src/stat.c: Don't include <sys/sysmacros.h>.
9806	That is already done via system.h.  Otherwise, the multiple
9807	inclusion would evoke redefinition warnings from Cray's /bin/cc,
9808	aka Cray Standard C Version 4.0.3  (057126) Mar 22 2003  22:02:28.
9809	(human_fstype): Factor some directives `up', out of this function.
9810	Cast away `const' to avoid error from Cray's /bin/cc.
9811
98122003-03-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9813
9814	* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): Ensure that a newline
9815	precedes each row of `*'s.
9816
98172003-03-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9818
9819	* Version 4.5.11.
9820
9821	* src/seq.c (valid_format): Also accept ` ' and `'' as valid
9822	format flag characters.
9823	Do not require that a field width be specified.
9824	Do not fail when given a field width of `0'.
9825	Reported by Dan Jacobson.
9826	* tests/seq/basic: Add new tests for the above-fixed bug.
9827
9828	* src/Makefile.am (all-local): Append $(EXEEXT) to use of `su'
9829	(install-root): Likewise.
9830	(install-exec-local): Likewise.
9831	Based on a patch from Richard Dawe.
9832
98332003-03-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9834
9835	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use $(LN_S) instead of 'ln -s',
9836	because the DJGPP 2.03 port of 'ln -s' doesn't work.
9837	Include $(EXEEXT) in program names.
9838	Since $(LN_S) may degenerate to `cp -p', be careful
9839	to invoke it from the destination directory.
9840	Mostly from Richard Dawe.
9841	* configure.ac: Use AC_PROG_LN_S.
9842
9843	* tests/mv/part-symlink: Unset CDPATH.  Otherwise, having the
9844	CDPATH shell variable set could cause this test to fail.
9845	Reported by Karl Berry.
9846
98472003-03-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9848
9849	* src/fmt.c [struct Word] (paren, period, punct, final): Change the
9850	type of each member from bool <MEMBER>:1 to unsigned int <MEMBER>:1.
9851	AIX 5.1's xlc could not compile the former.
9852	Patch by Petter Reinholdtsen.  Also reported by Mike Jetzer.
9853
98542003-03-17  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>
9855
9856	* configure.ac: Include $(EXEEXT) in OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS'
9857	program names, since automake only adds $(EXEEXT) to programs
9858	in its *_PROGRAMS.
9859
98602003-03-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9861
9862	* src/remove.c (rm): Put two local variables in static storage,
9863	so they can't be clobbered by the potential longjmp.
9864
98652003-03-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9866
9867	* Makefile.cfg (gnu_rel_host): Fix code to match the comment
9868	so that a version number with a two-digit component can still count
9869	as an alpha release.  Reported by Richard A Downing.
9870	(gnu_rel_host): Define in terms of $(RELEASE_TYPE) instead.
9871
98722003-03-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9873
9874	* src/ansi2knr.c: Remove no-longer-used file.
9875	* src/ansi2knr.1: Likewise.
9876
9877	* Makefile.maint (prev_version_file): Don't use ?= for this particular
9878	assignment, since it causes trouble with old versions of GNU make
9879	(e.g. 3.76.1).  The other uses of `?=' are inoffensive.  Details here.
9880	http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-03/msg00028.html
9881	Patch from Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
9882
9883	* Use patched automake-1.7.3.  Regenerate Makefile.in files in
9884	subdirectories so that each includes a definition of ACLOCAL_M4.
9885
9886	* announce-gen (main): Label the compressed source URLs.
9887
9888	* Version 4.5.10.
9889
9890	* tests/du/slink: Relax the test for the `local'ness of a file system,
9891	so that now it works also for tmpfs.
9892
9893	* tests/du/hard-link: Transform output from first du, so that this
9894	test doesn't fail on file systems like tmpfs that order directory
9895	entries differently.
9896
98972003-03-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9898
9899	* tests/du/8gb: Work around what appears to be an NFS failure that
9900	would make this test fail on some systems.
9901
99022003-03-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9903
9904	* tests/du/basic: Make the test file exactly 4k bytes long.
9905
9906	* src/split.c (longopts): Don't hard-code `2' here.
9907	Instead, just specify `&verbose', and ...
9908	(main): ... remove the `case 2:' block for --verbose.
9909
9910	* tests/du/basic: Make the test file larger than 64 bytes, so that
9911	we don't immediately disqualify file systems (e.g., NetApp) on which
9912	smaller files take up zero disk blocks.  Reported by Vin Shelton.
9913
99142003-03-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9915
9916	Don't segfault for a negative field width or precision in format string.
9917	Note that this is just a stopgap fix.  The longer term solution may
9918	involve adapting bash's builtins/printf.def.
9919
9920	* src/printf.c: (UNSPECIFIED): Define.
9921	(print_direc): Use the special value, UNSPECIFIED, to indicate
9922	that field_width or precision has not been specified.
9923	(print_formatted): Fail if field_width or precision is the
9924	special value, UNSPECIFIED.
9925	Reported by Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
9926
9927	* src/sys2.h (INT_MIN): Define, if necessary.
9928	* tests/misc/printf: Add a test for the above-fixed bug.
9929
99302003-03-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9931
9932	* src/remove.c (AD_stack_pop): Cast sizeof... to int before
9933	changing its sign.  This avoids a warning from gcc on 64-bit systems.
9934	Reported by Bob Proulx.
9935	(pop_dir): Reverse order of sign change and cast, to be consistent
9936	with the above.
9937
99382003-03-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
9939
9940	* tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Check for POSIXLY_CORRECT not as a
9941	shell variable, but only in the environment.  With /bin/sh->bash, the
9942	shell variable is set to `y', and that would cause a spurious warning.
9943	Reported by Bob Proulx.
9944
9945	* tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Remove touch/fifo.
9946	It doesn't appear to have to be run as root.
9947
9948	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Rather than simply using the first non-root
9949	user name, make sure that the selected user name has a usable shell.
9950	Reported by Paul Jarc.
9951
9952	Before, when using shred on a device, one had to specify --exact,
9953	or be careful to choose a size that would not be rounded up and
9954	exceed the maximum value;  that could result in a failure of
9955	the final write.
9956	* src/shred.c (do_wipefd): --exact is now the default for non-regular
9957	files.  Suggestion from Ben Elliston.
9958	(usage): Say it.
9959
9960	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Require at least version 1.11 of Expect.pm.
9961	Old versions of Expect.pm (e.g., 1.07) lack the log_user function.
9962	Patch by Bob Proulx.
9963
9964	* src/Makefile.am (check-misc): Check for use of `defined' in
9965	#define directives.
9966	Change to $(srcdir) before running grep.
9967
9968	* src/sleep.c: Remove now-unused #include and #define directives.
9969
9970	* src/du.c (process_file): If a file's size is not being counted
9971	e.g., because it's a hard link to a file we've already counted,
9972	then don't print a line for it.
9973
9974	* tests/du/hard-link: New test for the above-fixed bug.
9975	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-link.
9976
9977	`du -S' didn't work
9978	* src/du.c: Revert most of the `reorganization' change of 2003-02-20,
9979	and make the two-array approach work.
9980
9981	* tests/du/basic: Correct/add tests for the above fix.
9982	Set LC_ALL, etc., now that we use sort.
9983	Check the block/size of a small file, too.
9984	Correct expected results for simple dir1/dir2/file case.
9985	Add another test of du -S.
9986
99872003-03-07  John David Anglin  <dave.anglin@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca>
9988
9989	Avoid build failure with gcc on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 (see GCC PR
9990	middle-end/9986).  As one of GCC's optimizations, it transforms a
9991	fputs_unlocked call to a fputc_unlocked call when the string is
9992	one character long.  However, hpux doesn't have fputc_unlocked.
9993
9994	* expr.c (usage): Use putchar, not fputs, to output a single character.
9995	* ls.c (dired_dump_obstack): Likewise.
9996	* ptx.c (output_one_tex_line, output_one_dumb_line): Likewise.
9997	* stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
9998
99992003-03-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10000
10001	* src/cp.c: Remove everything associated with mmap-stack.c.
10002	This reverts the two changes of 2003-02-21.
10003	* src/du.c: Remove everything associated with mmap-stack.c.
10004	This reverts the change of 2003-02-19.
10005
100062003-03-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10007
10008	* tests/cp/same-file: Unset CDPATH.  Otherwise, having the
10009	CDPATH shell variable set could cause this test to fail.
10010	Reported by Karl Berry.
10011
100122003-03-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10013
10014	* Version 4.5.9.
10015
10016	* src/printf.c (print_esc): Remove pointless comparison of unsigned
10017	integer with zero, to avoid a warning from Intel's ecc.
10018	Reported by Nelson Beebe.
10019
10020	* src/du.c (process_file): Sizes must all be of type uintmax_t.
10021	Otherwise, for files or totals that are too big, numbers would
10022	be truncated.  Patch mostly by Michael Stone.
10023	Reported by Ingo Saitz as Debian bug #183210.
10024
10025	* tests/du/8gb: New test for the above-fixed bug.
10026	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add 8gb.
10027
10028	* src/du.c (MAX_N_DESCRIPTORS): Use 3 * UTILS_OPEN_MAX / 4
10029	rather than UTILS_OPEN_MAX - 10.
10030
100312003-03-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10032
10033	* README: Refer new feature discussion to bug-coreutils@gnu.org,
10034	rather than bug-gnu-utils, now that the former is better known.
10035	Suggestion from G��ran Uddeborg.
10036
10037	* src/stat.c (usage): Capitalize consistently.
10038	Reported by G��ran Uddeborg.
10039
10040	* Makefile.maint (rel-files): Include $(signatures), so that
10041	those files are also copied into $(release_archive_dir).
10042
10043	* src/df.c (find_mount_point): Call error here, now that restore_cwd
10044	no longer does it.
10045	* src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Likewise.
10046
10047	* tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add fail-2eperm.
10048
100492003-03-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10050
10051	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Include the full filename of
10052	the offending file, not just the basename.
10053
10054	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Set $ME properly.
10055
10056	* Makefile.maint (THIS_VERSION_REGEXP, PREV_VERSION_REGEXP):
10057	Remove now-unused variables.
10058	(tag-prev-version, prev-cvs-tag): Likewise.
10059
10060	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries) [!ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS]: Give an
10061	accurate diagnostic when failing to remove a file owned by some other
10062	user.  Reported by Ivo Timmermans via Michael Stone.
10063	This fixes Debian bug# 178471.
10064
10065	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-2eperm.
10066	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: New test, for the above-fixed bug.
10067	Based on a report from Ivo Timmermans.
10068
100692003-03-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10070
10071	* src/copy.c (copy_internal) [un_backup]: When recovering from a
10072	failure to create a hard link, do not remove the entry associating
10073	the source dev/ino with the destination file name.
10074	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-3.
10075	* tests/mv/hard-3: New test, for the above-fixed bug.
10076	Inspired by a report from Iida Yosiaki.
10077
100782003-03-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10079
10080	* src/df.c (print_header): Don't embed spaces in a separate `Type'
10081	header string.  Instead, put `Filesystem' and `Type' headers in the
10082	same string, so translators can use horizontal space as needed.
10083	Reported by Jean Charles Delepine.
10084
100852003-02-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10086
10087	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): When link fails because of an
10088	existing destination file, unlink that file and try again.
10089	Reported by Iida Yosiaki.
10090
10091	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-2.
10092	* tests/mv/hard-2: New test for the above-fixed bug.
10093	Based on a test case from Iida Yosiaki.
10094
100952003-02-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10096
10097	* tests/du/basic: Don't test du's -b option here.  Directory byte
10098	counts are smaller (512 rather than 4096) on at least OSF/1 5.1
10099	and IBM AIX 4.2.  Reported by Nelson Beebe.
10100
101012003-02-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10102
10103	* Makefile.maint (announcement): Now that ChangeLog entries
10104	are output by announce-gen, don't do it here.
10105	* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): New function.
10106	(main): Use it.
10107
101082003-02-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10109
10110	* announce-gen: New option: --release-type=TYPE
10111	* Makefile.maint (beta, major): New targets.  Remove `release'.
10112	Put them all together on a line.
10113	Pass the release type (via RELEASE_TYPE envvar) to the MAKE
10114	invocation of `announcement'.
10115	(announcement): Invoke announce-gen with --release-type=$RELEASE_TYPE.
10116
10117	* announce-gen: New option: --news=NEWS_FILE.
10118	Extract NEWS entries here, not via rules in Makefile.maint.
10119	* Makefile.maint (announcement): Now that NEWS entries are
10120	extracted by announce-gen, don't do it here.
10121	(news-r1, news-r2): Remove now-unused definitions.
10122
101232003-02-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10124
10125	* Version 4.5.8.
10126
10127	Merge in changes from autoconf's version of this file.
10128	* Makefile.maint (www-gnu): Define.
10129	(standards.texi-url_prefix): Use $(www-gnu).
10130	(make-stds.texi-url_prefix): Likewise.
10131
10132	* src/cp.c: Include "mmap-stack.h".
10133	(main): Invoke `run' through a macro that (when possible) runs it
10134	with a large, mmap'd stack.
10135
10136	* src/cp.c (run): New function, preparing for the above.
10137	Exit from this function, not from main
10138	(main): Call run.
10139
10140	* src/du.c: New option: --apparent-size.
10141	(enum) [APPARENT_SIZE_OPTION]: New member.
10142	(long_options): Add it.
10143	(usage): Describe it.
10144	(main): Handle it.
10145	['b']: Set apparent_size.
10146	David Eisner reported that the behavior of --bytes had changed.
10147	Paul Eggert proposed the use of a new option, --apparent-size.
10148
10149	* src/du.c (apparent_size): New global.
10150	(print_only_size): Reflect the fact that we're printing byte counts,
10151	not ST_NBLOCKSIZE-byte-block counts.
10152	(print_size): Call print_only_size rather than duplicating its code.
10153	(process_file): Accumulate byte counts, rather than block counts.
10154
10155	* src/du.c (process_file): Always reset size_to_propagate_to_parent
10156	for --separate-dirs (-S).
10157
101582003-02-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10159
10160	* Use automake-1.7.3.  Regenerate dependent files.
10161
10162	* src/stat.c (print_stat): New format: %B (to print ST_NBLOCKSIZE).
10163	This makes %b (number of ST_NBLOCKSIZE-byte blocks) more useful.
10164	(usage) [%B]: Describe it.
10165	[%b]: Refer to %B.
10166
10167	* src/du.c (process_file): Reorganize the code to use only
10168	one `sum' array, and change how -S works back to the way it was
10169	before 2003-01-31.  Patch by Bruno Haible.
10170
10171	* tests/du/basic: New test.
10172	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add basic.
10173
10174	* tests/envvar-check: Add checks for the following:
10175	BLOCK_SIZE, DU_BLOCK_SIZE, DF_BLOCK_SIZE, LS_BLOCK_SIZE.
10176
10177	* tests/Makefile.am: Rename phony target envvar-check to evar-check
10178	so as not to conflict with the distributed file by the same name.
10179
10180	* src/du.c (process_file): Set info->skip before any possible return.
10181
10182	Report correct usage for directories, not 0.
10183	* src/du.c (process_file): Return for `file_type == FTW_DPRE'
10184	_before_ recording the dev/ino of a directory.
10185	Reported by Bruno Haible.
10186
10187	Now, df always displays the device file name corresponding to the
10188	listed mount point under `Filesystem'.  Before, for an unmounted
10189	block- or character-special file argument, it would display the
10190	command-line argument instead.
10191	* src/df.c (show_disk): Return a value indicating whether
10192	there was a match.  Don't try to find a mount point here.
10193	(show_entry): If show_disk doesn't find a match, call show_point.
10194
101952003-02-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10196
10197	* src/du.c: Include "mmap-stack.h".
10198	(du_files): Add prototype with ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
10199	Exit from this function, not from...
10200	(main): ...here.
10201	Instead, if possible, invoke du_files through a macro that
10202	runs it with a large, mmap'd stack.
10203
10204	* src/join.c (usage): Change wording in --help output:
10205	use FILENUM instead of `SIDE' and say what FILENUM means.
10206	Reported by Bernhard Gabler.
10207
10208	* src/df.c (print_header): Rather than using a hard-coded literal
10209	string of spaces matching the length of the English `...Type' header,
10210	output the right number of spaces to match the selected translation.
10211	Reported by Yann Dirson and Jean Charles Delepine as Debian bug 131113.
10212
10213	* src/split.c (bytes_split): Remove unnecessary `else' after break.
10214	(lines_split): Likewise.  and correct misleading indentation.
10215
10216	* src/split.c: Include "full-read.h".
10217	(bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split): Use full_read,
10218	not safe_read.   The way split was using the latter, a short read
10219	could cause split to terminate before EOF.
10220
10221	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Test all programs that can read stdin,
10222	requiring no arguments and that write to standard output.
10223
10224	* tests/misc/tty-eof: New file.  Renamed from ...
10225	* tests/misc/cat-tty-eof: Remove file.  Rename to tty-eof.
10226	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reflect renaming.

10231	* src/cksum.c (cksum): Exit the loop upon EOF, too.
10232	Patch by Michael Bacarella.
10233
10234	Test for the bug fixed today in cksum, md5sum, and sha1sum.
10235	* tests/misc/cat-tty-eof: Generalize, clean-up, and test for
10236	cat, cksum, md5sum, and sha1sum all in the same loop.
10237
102382003-02-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10239
10240	* src/remove.c: Include "euidaccess.h".
10241	Remove declaration of euidaccess.

10244
10245	* src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Remove unnecessary `const'
10246	in cast to avoid warning from icc.  Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
10247
102482003-02-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10249
10250	* src/test.c: Don't include group-member.h.
10251	Include euidaccess.h.
10252	(eaccess): Rewrite function to set the real uid and gid temporarily
10253	to the effective uid and gid, then invoke 'access', and then set the
10254	real uid and gid back.  On systems that lack setreuid or setregid,
10255	fall back on the kludges in euidaccess.  Before, it would not work
10256	for e.g., files with ACLs, files that were marked immutable,
10257	or on file systems mounted read-only.  Nelson Beebe raised the issue.
10258	Paul Eggert suggested the new implementation.

10269	* tests/mv/part-symlink: Don't assume that the file owner username
10270	length is less than 9 in ls output: instead, omit that field

10302	the name of the file system on which the file resides, usually `/'.
10303	Before, it would leave the `Mounted on' field blank.
10304	* src/df.c (show_disk): Move function to precede find_mount_point.
10305	(show_disk): Add parameter: STATP.
10306	If we don't find a matching device name, then resort to calling

10333
10334	* tests/basename/Makefile.am: Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@ instead of
10335	hard-coding the path-separator.  Also double-quote the new PATH,

10375	(print_stat): Arrange so that field width and an alignment specifier
10376	are honored for the %A, %F, %x, %y, and %z formats.
10377	[%F]: Use file_type; this gives slightly different file type strings,
10378	e.g., `directory' instead of `Directory' and `regular file' or
10379	`regular empty file' instead of `Regular file'.
10380	Prompted by a report from Richard Dawe that the uses of

10382	to systems using e.g., DJGPP.
10383
103842003-01-31  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>
10385
10386	* src/stat.c (print_stat): Use S_ISLNK rather than an explicit

103892003-01-31  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10390
10391	* src/du.c (main): Upon processing an invalid option or an invalid
10392	--exclude-from or --max-depth option argument, don't exit right away,

10395
10396	* GNUmakefile (TAR_OPTIONS): Set and export, in order to make
10397	tar archive easier to reproduce.

10427
10428	* src/ls.c (quote_name): Add fourth parameter, width, into which to
10429	store the screen columns, and return the number of bytes instead.
10430	(print_dir): Pass NULL as fourth parameter of quote_name.
10431	(print_name_with_quoting): Likewise.
10432	(length_of_file_name_and_frills): Get the width from the fourth

104352003-01-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10436
10437	* src/ls.c (decode_switches): If `dired' is set without
10438	`format == long_format', then silently reset dired.  This doesn't
10439	change the behavior of ls (all prior uses of dired were protected
10440	by `&& format == long_format'), and lets us...
10441	(DIRED_INDENT): ... remove the `format == long_format' conjunct.
10442	(PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS): Likewise.
10443	(main): Likewise.

10451
10452	* src/remove.c (remove_entry) [ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS
10453	&& HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: If a file has d_type == DT_UNKNOWN
10454	it may still be a directory -- or not (e.g., with FreeBSD on an
10455	NFS-mounted file system), so resort to calling lstat to find out.
10456	Based on a patch by Michael van Elst.
10457
10458	* tests/cp/same-file: Don't assume that the file owner username
10459	length is less than 9 in ls output: instead, omit that field
10460	altogether.  Reported by, and suggested fix from, Ferdinand.
10461
104622003-01-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10463
10464	* tests/date/Test.pm (wide-fmt): New test to demonstrate that

10466
10467	* Makefile.maint (mail_gpg_sign_cookie): Remove now-unused definition.
10468
104692003-01-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

104732003-01-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10474
10475	* src/ls.c (Dereference_symlink) [DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR]:
10476	New member.
10477	(enum) [DEREFERENCE_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR_OPTION]: New member.
10478	(long_options): Add option --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
10479	(main): Make DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR be the default,
10480	rather than DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS, when none of the
10481	-d, -F, -l options is specified.
10482	(decode_switches): Handle --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
10483	(gobble_file): Honor DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR.
10484	Change --dereference-command-line (-H) to dereference *all*
10485	command line arguments, including broken symlinks.
10486
104872003-01-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
10488
10489	Change ls -H back to the way it was yesterday, since this is
10490	compatible with FreeBSD and the POSIX spec is confusing
10491	and somewhat contradictory.
10492
10493	* src/ls.c (DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS): Change name back
10494	from DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR, updating all uses.
10495	(long_options): Change the long option name back.
10496	(usage): Change the usage back.
10497	(gobble_file): When -H is specified, dereference a top-level
10498	arg even if it points to a non-directory.
10499
105002003-01-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10501
10502	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fall back on using lstat when required:
10503	when --dereference (-L) is not specified, and
10504	- when operating on a dangling symlink
10505	- when operating on command-line-symlink-to-directories
10506	This fixes numerous problems.  Here are examples:
10507	- `ls dangling-symlink' would fail with `no such file...'
10508	Now it prints `dangling-symlink'.
10509	- `ls -i symlink' would mistakenly print the inode of the referent.
10510	Now it prints the inode of the symlink.  Likewise for --size (-s).
10511	Based on a patch from Michael Stone.
10512	Reported by Deepak Goel as Debian bug #173793.
10513
10514	Rename ls's --dereference-command-line (-H)
10515	option to   --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
10516	* src/ls.c [enum Dereference_symlink]
10517	(DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR): Rename from
10518	DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS.  Update all uses.
10519	(long_options): Rename the long option.
10520	(usage): Say that --dereference-... changes how ls treats
10521	only symlinks to directories specified on the command line.
10522
105232003-01-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

10529	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix a bug introduced in 4.5.4 that made it
10530	so that ls --color would no longer highlight the names of files with
10531	the execute bit set when not specified on the command line.
10532	Patch by Michael Stone.  Reported by Stephen Depooter as
10533	Debian bug 175135.

10582
10583	When selecting ranges of byte offsets (as opposed to ranges of fields)

10715

10790
10791	* src/du.c (lstat) [! LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK]:
10792	Define to rpl_lstat, so that even on systems like Solaris 5.8,
10793	du honors (per POSIX) the trailing slash on an argument referring
10794	to a symlink-to-directory.
10795
107962002-12-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

10803	Thanks to Ed Santiago for opening my eyes.
10804
10805	* tests/ls/file-type: New file.  Test for the above.
10806	A test to contrast ls -F and ls --indicator-style=file-type.

10810
10811	* tests/ls/follow-slink: Make sure the symlink was created.
10812	Richard Dawe reported that `ln -s link link' succeeds, but creates

10814
108152002-12-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10816
10817	* src/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove definition (to ansi2knr)

108332002-11-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10834
10835	* ls.c (gobble_file): Remove the block of code that caused
10836	`ls --color -F symlink-to-dir' to list the files in
10837	`symlink-to-dir/.'.  Now, it prints `symlink-to-dir@', (just
10838	like `ls -F symlink-to-dir') but with the addition of highlighting.
10839	Similarly, `ls --color -dF symlink-to-dir' would print
10840	`symlink-to-dir/';  now it prints `symlink-to-dir@'.
10841	Reported by Jeff Sheinberg as Debian bug #168203.
10842	* tests/ls-2/tests (sl-F-color, sl-dF-color): New tests for the above.
10843
10844	ls is now more efficient: with certain options, it no longer needs

10853	Rewrite so that `/' is no longer represented internally as
10854	the empty string.
10855	(count_entry): When appending a file name component,
10856	account for the fact that the current path may end in `/'.
10857	Fran��ois Pinard reported that `du symlink-to-dir/' was not
10858	equivalent to `du symlink-to-dir/.'.  Now it is.
10859	* tests/du/trailing-slash: New file/test, for the above fix.
10860	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add trailing-slash.
10861
108622002-11-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
10863
10864	* src/tac.c (output): Declare some local variables to be of type size_t,

10868
10869	* src/ls.c (decode_switches): Use case-sensitive matching to

10906	* Makefile.maint (mail_gpg_sign_cookie): Make optional.
10907	(announcement): Use the new variable.
10908
10909	* Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
10910	(po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
10911	.c and the .h files that they generate.  This fixes the bug
10912	reported by Tim Van Holder in:
10913	<http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
10914	Look for N_ as well as for _.  Try to avoid matching #define for
10915	N_ and _.
10916	From Paul Eggert.

10981	Add support for locale-specific size indications (e.g.,
10982	thousands-separators) and for explicit size suffixes on output.
10983
10984	* doc/coreutils.texi (Block size): Say that:
10985	This affects display format as well as block size.
10986	Fractional block counts are rounded up.
10987	ls file size blocksize defaults to 1.
10988	A block size spec preceded by ' generates thousands separators.
10989	A suffix without a preceding integer generates suffixes.
10990	(tail invocation): 32k -> 32 KiB.
10991	(What information is listed): ls -h is now equivalent to
10992	ls --block-size=human, and ls -H is now equivalent to

11008	(human_readable): Rename from human_readable_inexact; put the

11010	function has been removed; use inttostr.h instead.
11011	(human_options): Renamed from human_block_size, with new signature
11012	that allows block sizes up to UINTMAX_MAX.  All callers changed.
11013
11014	* m4/prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_HUMAN): Check for locale.h, localeconv,
11015	AC_HEADER_STDBOOL.  No need to check for limits.h since it's in

11017	autoconf does this now.
11018
11019	* src/cksum.c (cksum): Use primitives from inttostr.h, not

11037

11050	(dopass): When printing progress, use floor for what has been done
11051	so far (since we should be conservative there), and ceiling for
11052	what needs to be done (since that's what other programs use).

11076
11077	Fix a problem that could make e.g., `cat' misbehave on systems which
11078	give invalid (unreasonably large) values for stat.st_blksize.
11079	* src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ensure that the result is in [1..4MB].
11080	Reported by Petter Reinholdtsen.

110822002-10-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11083
11084	Specifying a printf conversion specifer as nl's separator string
11085	could cause nl to segfault.
11086	* src/nl.c (build_print_fmt): Don't include separator string
11087	in the printf format; it might contain `%'.

11101
11102	* src/du.c (usage): Tweak description of --dereference-args/-D.
11103
11104	* src/du.c (count_entry): Also save cwd when dereferencing (via
11105	--dereference-args, -D) a command-line argument.
11106	Reported by Michal Svec.  Based on a patch by Andreas Schwab.
11107
11108	* src/Makefile.am (../AUTHORS): New target/rule.
11109
111102002-10-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11111
11112	* src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Declare local, `delims_saved', to be
11113	of type size_t, since that's the way it's used and avoids a warning.
11114
11115	* src/csplit.c (struct cstring) [len]: Declare to be unsigned int,
11116	since that's how it's always used and avoids a new warning from gcc.

11126	[this change is analogous (bytes vs. lines) to the one of 2002-01-27]
11127	* src/tail.c (start_bytes): Detect EOF, inform caller.
11128	(tail_bytes): Upon EOF in start_bytes, return immediately.
11129	(file_lines): Reorganize to use memrchr rather than an explicit loop.

11143
11144	* tests/cp/backup-is-src: Ensure that certain environment variables
11145	are not set (e.g., SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX).  Reported by Duncan Roe.
11146
11147	* tests/tail-2/big-4gb: Mark this as an expensive test; it would
11148	consume 4GB of disk space on systems without support for sparse files.
11149	Fix a logic error that'd make it `cat err' even though dd didn't fail.
11150
11151	* src/dircolors.hin (.jar): Fix typo: s/;3$/;31/.
11152	Patch by steven@magelico.net, forwarded by Michael Stone.
11153

11167	|xargs perl -pi -e 's/'\''(\$0: failure in testing framework)'\''/"$1"/'
11168
11169	* src/sum.c (sysv_sum_file): Adapt to new safe_read ABI.

11188	via ibs=N, obs=N, and bs=N) are no larger than SSIZE_MAX.
11189	(skip, dd_copy): Adapt to new safe_read ABI.
11190
11191	* Makefile.maint (signatures): Define.

11230
112312002-09-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11232
11233	* src/csplit.c: Don't include stdlib.h here.  It's already included
11234	via system.h.
11235
112362002-09-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11237
11238	* src/tr.c (find_bracketed_repeat): Rearrange pointer/integer
11239	expression to avoid bogus warning from gcc.
11240
11241	* src/cat.c (simple_cat): Use a temporary to avoid bogus warnings.

11245
11246	* src/tail.c (parse_options): Give a sensible diagnostic for

11248
11249	* src/touch.c (main): Split a long line.
11250
11251	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add slink.
11252	* tests/du/slink: New test for system.h change of 2002-08-31.
11253
11254	In move mode, always first try to rename.  Before, upon failure to
11255	rename a directory, this code would never attempt to rename any
11256	other file in that directory, but would thenceforth always copy.
11257	On some systems (e.g., NetApp's OnTap-6.4), renaming a directory
11258	may fail with EXDEV, yet renaming files within that directory to
11259	a newly-created destination directory succeeds.
11260	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove local, move_mode;
11261	use x->move_mode instead.  Based on a patch from Tom Haynes.
11262
112632002-09-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11264

11266	Factor out some duplication.
11267	(main): Use it.
11268	[case 'a']: Use strtoul rather than strtol to avoid compiler warnings.
11269
11270	* src/sort.c (begfield, limfield): Rearrange comparisons to avoid
11271	compiler warnings.
11272	(fillbuf, keycompare): Cast literal `-1' to size_t in comparisons,
11273	to avoid compiler warnings.
11274
11275	* src/shred.c (dopass): Use a uintmax_t temporary to avoid bogus
11276	compiler warnings.
11277
11278	Fix things so `mkdir -p' can create very deep directories, e.g.,
11279	mkdir -p $(perl -e 'print "a/" x 40000') now works.
11280	* src/mkdir.c (main): For --parents (-p), call make_path with the
11281	entire directory name, so we don't ever require that file operations
11282	like stat or chmod be performed on the entire command line argument.
11283	* makepath.c (make_path): Restore umask *before* creating the final
11284	component.
11285

11292
11293	* src/install.c (get_ids): Use strtoul, not strtol.  Remove some casts.
11294
112952002-09-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11296
11297	* src/test.c (eaccess): Change type of local `euid' from int to uid_t
11298	and add a cast, to avoid a warning about `signed and unsigned type in
11299	conditional expression'.
11300
113012002-09-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11302
11303	* src/rmdir.c: Include "dirname.h", for declaration of
11304	strip_trailing_slashes.
11305
11306	* src/stat.c (PRIdMAX, PRIuMAX): Remove definitions.

11310	* src/stat.c, src/wc.c: Remove all inclusions of inttypes.h,
11311	since it's already included from sys2.h via system.h.

11313	* Use automake-1.6f.  Regenerate dependent files.
11314
11315	* src/Makefile.am (PERL): Remove duplicate definition.
11316
11317	fmt's -s, -t, -c options didn't work properly for long lines.
11318	Since get_line may end up calling put_paragraph (for long lines),
11319	be sure to set global, `other_indent', before it is used there.
11320
11321	* src/fmt.c (set_other_indent): New function, factored out of...
11322	(get_paragraph): ... here.  Call it.
11323	(get_line): Call set_other_indent before calling flush_paragraph,
11324	which calls fmt_paragraph, which in turn calls put_paragraph,
11325	which uses other_indent.
11326
11327	* tests/fmt/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-line.
11328	* tests/fmt/long-line: New file/test, for the above fix.
11329
113302002-09-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11331
11332	* src/od.c: No longer include deprecated <values.h>.
11333	It was required solely for now-removed reference to BITSPERBYTE.
11334	* src/install.c: Likewise.
11335	Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
11336
113372002-09-06  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

11353
113542002-09-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11355
11356	`od -t x8' used the wrong (`l'-prefixed) printf format.
11357	Likewise for the o8 and u8 formats.
11358	* src/od.c (ISPEC_TO_FORMAT): Define macro.
11359	(decode_one_format): Use PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, etc. for LONG_LONG.
11360	Reported by Arun Sharma.

11466	* chgrp.c, chmod.c, chown.c, chroot.c, cp.c, date.c, dd.c, du.c,
11467	* hostname.c, id.c, install.c, ln.c, mkdir.c, mkfifo.c, mknod.c,

11469	* su.c, tac-pipe.c, tail.c, tee.c, touch.c, uname.c, uptime.c,
11470	* users.c, who.c: Change `error (1, ...' to `error (EXIT_FAILURE, ...'.
11471	But don't change `error (0, ...' to `error (EXIT_SUCCESS, ...', since
11472	error never exits successfully.

114742002-08-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11475
11476	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Use closedir (not CLOSEDIR)
11477	when ignoring any return value.
11478
11479	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Detect and diagnose readdir
11480	failures.  On some systems (at least EMC Celerra and Solaris5.8),
11481	this appears to be necessary.
11482	(is_empty_dir): Likewise.  Also, always close directory handle.
11483	* src/ls.c (print_dir): Likewise.
11484	(print_dir): Rename local variable: reading -> dirp.
11485	Reported by Mike Coleman.

114872002-08-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11488
11489	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Use CLOSEDIR, not closedir.
11490	Give a diagnostic and fail if closedir fails.
11491
114922002-08-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11493
11494	* Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): New rule.
11495	(EXTRA_DIST): Add both THANKS-to-translators and THANKStt.in.
11496	* THANKStt.in: New file.
11497
11498	* src/cat.c (close_stdout_wrapper): New, kludgey, function and
11499	file-scoped global.
11500	(main): Register it with atexit.
11501	Close STDOUT_FILENO, to avoid a problem when writing to
11502	/dev/audio on at least Solaris 5.7 and 5.8 systems.
11503	Reported by Shing-Shong Shei.
11504
115052002-08-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11506
11507	* src/cat.c (main): Close STDIN_FILENO rather than a literal `0'.
11508	* src/tac.c (main): Likewise.
11509	* src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
11510	* src/tee.c (main): Likewise.
11511	* src/tr.c (main): Likewise.
11512	* src/wc.c (main): Likewise.
11513
115142002-08-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11515
11516	* tests/mv/setup: Rewrite not to use `: ${VAR=not_set}' paradigm.
11517
115182002-08-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
11519
11520	* src/nohup.sh: Don't use "exec --"; it's not portable and
11521	shouldn't be needed.
11522
115232002-08-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11524
11525	* src/pr.c (main): Don't ignore -COLUMN if it's the last option.
11526	(usage): Clarify help text for the -COLUMN option.
11527	Patch by Padraig Brady.
11528	* tests/pr/Test.pm [col-last]: New test for the above.
11529
11530	* configure.ac: Start with version 4.5.1, chosen so that it's larger
11531	than the latest version numbers of the component packages.
11532
11533	* man/Makefile.am (check-x-vs-1): Set and export PATH so we use
11534	programs in ../src.
11535
115362002-08-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11537
11538	* src/date.c: Guard inclusion of <langinfo.h> with
11539	`#if HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET', not `#if HAVE_LANGINFO_H'.
11540	* src/sort.c: Likewise.
11541	Patch by GOTO Masanori.
11542
115432002-08-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
11544
11545	Fix some minor time-related bugs with POSIX time arguments.
11546	Some valid time stamps were being rejected (notably -1, and
11547	time stamps before 1900 on 64-bit hosts).  And some invalid
11548	time stamps were being accepted, e.g. September 31.
11549
11550	* src/date.c (main): Adjust to posixtime signature change.
11551	* src/touch.c (main): Likewise.  Remove unnecessary initialization.
11552	Use localtime, not posixtm, to warn about obsolete "touch".
11553
115542002-08-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11555
11556	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nice and pathchk1.
11557
115582002-08-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11559
11560	* src/Makefile.am (check-README): New target/rule.
11561	(check): Depend on it.
11562
11563	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add old/Makefile and old/*/Makefile.
11564
115652002-08-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11566
11567	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add old.
11568	* old/: New directory, containing legacy ChangeLog* and NEWS files
11569	from the fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.
11570
11571	* src/Makefile.am (AM_INSTALLCHECK_STD_OPTIONS_EXEMPT): Set to false.
11572
115732002-08-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
11574
11575	* NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi: uniq now obeys LC_COLLATE.
11576
11577	* src/uniq.c: Include hard-locale.h, xmemcoll.h.
11578	(hard_LC_COLLATE): New var.
11579	(different): Args are now char *, not const char *.
11580	Use xmemcoll instead of memcmp to compare lines, so that
11581	LC_COLLATE has effect.  However, use memcmp if it is an
11582	easy locale.
11583	(check_file): Do not include newline in comparison, so that
11584	xmemcoll has a byte to stomp on temporarily.
11585	(main): Set hard_LC_COLLATE.
11586
115872002-07-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11588
11589	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove djgpp, for now.
11590
115912002-07-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11592
11593	* Makefile.am (false.c): Convert only the final EXIT_SUCCESS
11594	into EXIT_FAILURE.  Otherwise, false --help and false --version
11595	would fail.
11596
115972002-07-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11598
11599	* src/Makefile.am (uninstall-local): Search for @GNU_PACKAGE@,
11600	rather than the hard-coded `sh-utils'.
11601
116022002-07-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
11603
11604	* configure.ac: Merge the three files from fileutils,
11605	textutils, and sh-utils.
11606	* Makefile.am: Likewise.
11607	* src/Makefile.am: Likewise.
