11
12	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): When preserving links, unlink
13	a destination with link count greater than one.  This is so
14	that commands like "cp -a" don't get confused when copying into

16	reported by Tim Waugh in:
17	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-08/msg00053.html

42
43	* src/shred.c (wipename): Work even if the directory is writeable
44	and not readable.  Prefer write access, since this should work
45	better with fdatasync.
46
47	* src/csplit.c (xalloc_die): New function.
48	(main): Remove now-obsolete initialization of xalloc_fail_func.
49

76
77	* src/uname.c: Do not depend on HAVE_SYSCTL when deciding
78	whether to include files.  Include <sys/param.h> if
79	HAVE_SYS_PARAM_H (not HAVE_SYSCTL).
80	(main) [defined __POWERPC__]: Add a kludge to work around a
81	Mac OS X bug, so that uname -p defaults to "powerpc" if
82	sysctl ((int[]) {CTL_HW, HW_MACHINE_ARCH}, 2, buffer, &bufsize, 0, 0)
83	fails.  Problem reported by Petter Reinholdtsen in:
84	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2003-02/msg00201.html

145	(unary_operator): Don't consider a file to be a regular file
146	merely because its mode&S_IFMT is zero.  Just use S_ISREG.
147	Remove unnecessary casts.  Remove ifdefs for things like
148	S_ISSOCK that are no longer needed, since stat-macros.h always
149	defines them now.
150
151	* src/tac-pipe.c (buf_init_from_stdin, find_bol, tac_mem):

409
410	* src/expand.c (convert_entire_line, have_read_stdin, parse_tabstops,
411	next_file, expand, main):
412	Use bool for booleans.
413	(tab_size, tab_list, add_tabstop, parse_tabstops, validate_tabstops,
414	expand, main):
415	Use uintmax_t for column counts.
416	(add_tabstop): Don't reserve -1 (now UINTMAX_MAX) as a special value.
417	All callers changed.
418	(parse_tabstops): Don't pass a negative char to isblank.
419	Avoid memory leak with large tab stops.
420	(validate_tabstops, expand): Don't assume number of tab stops is
421	<= INT_MAX.
422	(next_file, main): Use EXIT_SUCCESS/EXIT_FAILURE rather than 0/1 when
423	storing values into exit_status.
424	(expand): Use same pattern as unexpand for reading chars.
425	Report an error when input line is too long, instead of silently
426	screwing up.  Do not mishandle tab stops when backspacing left
427	over start of line.
428
429	* src/dircolors.c (have_read_stdin, append_quoted,
430	dc_parse_stream, dc_parse_file, main): Use bool for booleans.
431	(dc_parse_stream): Use enum for state, rather than int.
432	Use ssize_t to store getline result.
433
434	* src/dd.c (translation_needed, parse_integer, scanargs,
435	apply_translations, char_is_saved, swab_buffer, skip_via_lseek):
436	Use bool for booleans.
437	(translate_buffer): Use to_uchar rather than a cast.
438	(swab_buffer, copy_simple, copy_with_unblock):
439	Use size_t for sizes.
440
441	* src/seq.c (equal_width, valid_format, main): Use bool for booleans.
442	* src/sleep.c (apply_suffix): Likewise.
443	* src/tail.c (struct File_spec, reopen_inaccessible_files, count_lines,
444	forever, from_start, print_headers, have_read_stdin, valid_file_spec,
445	write_header, file_lines, pipe_lines, pipe_bytes, recheck,
446	tail_forever, tail_bytes, tail_lines, tail, tail_file,
447	parse_obsolescent_option, parse_options, main): Likewise.
448	* src/sleep.c (apply_suffix): Invert sense of result.
449	Use int (not unsigned int) for multiplier, as this generates better
450	code with some compilers.  Simplify code a bit.
451	* src/tail.c (struct File_spec, max_n_unchanged_stats_between_opens,
452	parse_options): Use uintmax_t, not unsigned int or unsigned long int,
453	for state counters.
454	(tail_bytes, tail_lines): Redo test of return value (-1, 0, 1) to
455	make it a bit clearer.
456
457	* src/hostname.c: Include "xgethostname.h".
458	(xgethostname): Remove decl; xgethostname.h has it.
459	(sethostname) [!defined(HAVE_SETHOSTNAME) && defined(HAVE_SYSINFO)
460	&& defined (HAVE_SYS_SYSTEMINFO_H) && defined(HAVE_LIMITS_H)]: Use
461	prototypes rather than K&R form.  Assume any negative value from
462	sysinfo denotes failure, not just -1.
463	(main): Simplify use of sethostname.
464
465	* src/pinky.c (include_idle, include_heading, include_fullname,
466	include_project, include_plan, include_home_and_shell, do_short_format,
467	include_where, main): Use bool for booleans.
468	(count_ampersands, create_fullname, scan_entries, short_pinky):
469	Use size_t for sizes.
470	(create_fullname): Check for overflow in size calculations.
471	(idle_string): Don't assume that the number of idle days
472	is less than 10**8 and/or INT_MAX/(24*60*60).
473	(main): No need to pass a non-NULL last arg to getopt_long.
474	* src/uptime.c (print_uptime, uptime): Use size_t for sizes.
475	(print_uptime): Remove unused local variable.
476	(main): No need to pass a non-NULL last arg to getopt_long.
477	* src/users.c (list_entries_users, users): Use size_t for sizes.
478	(list_entries_users): Use char for bytes.
479	(main): No need to pass a non-NULL last arg to getopt_long.
480	* src/who.c (do_lookup, short_list, short_output, include_idle,
481	include_heading, include_mesg, include_exit, need_boottime,
482	need_deadprocs, need_login, need_initspawn, need_clockchange,
483	need_runlevel, need_users, my_line_only, main): Use bool for booleans.
484	(print_runlevel): Use unsigned char for bytes.
485	(list_entries_who, scan_entries, who): Use size_t for sizes.
486	(main): No need to pass a non-NULL last arg to getopt_long.
487
488	* src/install.c (isdir): Remove decl.
489	(install_file_to_path): Rely on make_path to fail if the destination
490	is not a directory, by passing preserve_existing==true to it.
491	Hence we no longer need to call isdir.
492	Free dest_dir immediately when it's no longer needed, rather than
493	waiting until the end of the function.
494	(copy_file): Don't bother calling isdir, as copy will do the
495	right thing if the destination is a directory.
496
497	* src/du.c (fts_debug, opt_all, apparent_size, opt_count_all,
498	print_grand_total, opt_separate_dirs, hash_ins, process_file, main):
499	Use bool for booleans.
500	(max_depth): Now size_t, not int, to avoid an arbitrary limit
501	of INT_MAX on depth.
502	(G_fail): Remove: no longer needed, now that the relevant
503	functions return bool.
504	(process_file): Use return value to signal success rather than
505	setting a global.  Remove first_call static var; not needed, since
506	we can look at n_alloc.  Use size_t for depths.  Remove FIXME
507	about size_t casts, as it's now fixed.  Use xnrealloc rather
508	than the obsolescent XREALLOC.  Don't bother to check whether
509	reallocation is needed unless level > prev_level.
510	(du_files): Invert sense of result, for consistency with
511	other coreutils code.  All callers changed.
512	(main): Allow --max-depth values up to SIZE_MAX.
513
514	* src/df.c (inode_format, show_all_fs, show_local_fs,
515	show_listed_fs, posix_format, require_sync, print_type,
516	selected_fstype, excluded_fstype, show_dev, show_point, main):
517	Use bool for booleans.
518	(df_readable, show_dev): Use UINTMAX_MAX instead of -1.
519	(show_dev, show_point, main):
520	Use EXIT_SUCCESS/EXIT_FAILURE instead of 0/1.
521	Don't assume disk name lengths are <= INT_MAX.
522	Rewrite pct calculation to avoid cast.
523	(show_point): Don't assume resolved length is <= SSIZE_MAX.
524
525	* src/cut.c (hash_int) [!defined UINTPTR_MAX]: Use size_t
526	instead of uintptr_t.
527	* src/shred.c (UINT_MAX_32_BITS): Remove.
528	(word32): Remove.  All uses changed to uint32_t.
529	(isaac_seed_data): Remove unnecessary cast.
530	* src/system.h (ptr_align): Use size_t; in practice, this is just as
531	good as uintptr_t in checking for alignments, and has fewer
532	configuration hassles.
533
534	* src/Makefile.am (localedir.h): Make it readonly; this
535	undoes part of the 2004-07-27 patch.
536
5372004-07-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
538
539	* src/sort.c (UCHAR): Remove; all uses changed to to_uchar.
540	(IS_THOUSANDS_SEP): Use bool when appropriate.
541	(numcompare, main): Use char, not int, when the value is always a char.
542	(numcompare): Remove "register"; compilers are smart enough these days.
543	* src/system.h (errno, CHAR_BIT): Remove decls;
544	no longer needed now we assume C89 or better.
545	Include <inttypes.h> before <stdint.h>, as it's the
546	Autoconf-recommended pattern.
547	(to_uchar): New inline function, moved here from tr.c.
548	Use full names for int types, e.g. "long int" rather than "long".
549	* src/tr.c (to_uchar): Remove; now in system.h.
550	(is_char_class_member): Use bool when appropriate.
551
552	* src/mkdir.c (create_parents, main): Use bool when appropriate.
553	(main): Use EXIT_SUCCESS/EXIT_FAILURE instead of 0/1.
554
5552004-07-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
556
557	* src/mkfifo.c (main): Use EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE, not 0 and 1.
558
559	* src/chmod.c (recurse, force_silent, process_file, process_files,
560	main): Use bool when appropriate.
561	* src/cksum.c (cksum, main): Likewise.
562	* src/comm.c (hard_LC_COLLATE, only_file_1, only_file_2, both,
563	compare_files, main): Likewise.
564
565	* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Likewise.
566	* src/copy.c (copy_internal, is_ancestor, copy_dir, copy_reg,
567	same_file_ok, seen_file, copy_internal, valid_options, copy): Likewise.
568	* src/cp-hash.h (remember_created): Likewise.
569	* src/cp-hash.c (remember_created): Likewise.
570	* src/cp.c (struct dir_attr, flag_path, remove_trailing_slashes,
571	re_protect, make_path_private, target_directory_operand, do_copy,
572	cp_option_init, decode_preserve_arg, main): Likewise.
573	* src/install.c (isdir, change_timestamps, change_attributes,
574	copy_file, install_file_to_path, install_file_in_dir,
575	install_file_in_file, strip_files, dir_arg, cp_option_init, main,
576	change_attributes, change_timestamps): Likewise.
577	* src/mv.c (remove_trailing_slashes, rm_option_init,
578	cp_option_init, do_move, movefile, main): Likewise.
579	* src/remove.c (right_justify), full_filename_, AD_pop_and_chdir,
580	AD_push, prompt, remove_dir): Likewise.
581	* src/rm.c (rm_option_init, main): Likewise.
582
583	* src/remove.c (top_dir, pop_dir, full_filename_):
584	Use size_t for sizes.
585	* src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Do not clear *NEW_DST if stat
586	succeeds.  It's not necessary in that case, as *NEW_DST is always
587	false already.
588	(do_copy): Rewrite slightly to avoid need for "unreachable" comment.
589	(main): Use EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE instead of 0, 1.
590	* src/rm.c (main): Likewise.
591
592	md5sum, sha1sum integer cleanups.
593
594	* src/checksum.h: Don't include config.h, sys/types.h, stdio.h:
595	not needed.
596	(ALG_UNSPECIFIED): Remove.
597	(ALG_MDT): Don't make it equal to CHAR_MAX + 1; this isn't necessary.
598	* src/md5.c: Don't include any files other than checksum.h.
599	* src/sha1sum.c: Likewise.
600	* src/md5sum.c (OPENOPTS, have_read_stdin, status_only, warn,
601	bsd_split_3, split_3, hex_digits, digest_file, digest_check, main):
602	Use bool when appropriate.
603	(digest_check): Increase limit of number of input lines to
604	UINTMAX_MAX from INT_MAX.  Diagnose any overflows of this counter.
605	Use ngettext instead of hard-to-i18nize hardcoded stuff for plurals.
606
6072004-07-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
608
609	* src/cat.c (exit_status): Remove.  Now done by passing a boolean
610	'ok' flag around.
611	(simple_cat, cat): Return true if successful.  All callers changed.
612	(simple_cat, cat, main): Use bool for booleans.
613	(simple_cat): Use size_t for sizes.
614	(cat, main): Use the same names for parameters that we use for
615	long options, to avoid confusion.  This inverts the sense of the
616	show_tabs (formerly output_tabs) and number_nonblank
617	(formerly numbers_at_empty_lines) variables.
618	(main): Don't mess up (due to integer overflow) if we are given
619	INT_MAX - INT_MIN + 1 options.
620	[O_BINARY]: Don't invoke isatty unless the other options require it.
621	(main): When deciding whether to use simple_cat, don't worry
622	about binary option; it's irrelevant.
623
624	* src/dcgen: Remove comments, trailing white space, and empty
625	lines from the output strings, to save space.
626	Use a narrower type like 'unsigned char' for line lengths, if
627	that will do.
628	Make the output variables static, not extern.
629
630	* src/chgrp.c (parse_group): Require base 10 when parsing
631	groups as integers.
632	(main): int -> bool when appropriate.
633	* src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
634	* src/chown-core.c: Include inttostr.h.
635	(UINT_MAX_DECIMAL_DIGITS, uint_to_string): Remove.
636	(gid_to_name, uid_to_name): Use imaxtostr/umaxtostr
637	instead of uint_to_string).
638	(describe_change): Instead of an int flag, use a char *
639	auxiliary; this avoids the need for casts.
640	Assume free (NULL) works.
641	(change_file_owner): Return true/false, not 0/-1, since
642	we don't set errno.  All callers changed.
643	Use bool when appropriate.
644	(chown_files): Likewise.
645	* src/chown-core.h (chown_files): Likewise.
646
647	* tests/chown/basic: Test for proper handling of uids like
648	"010", which must be parsed as decimal.
649
650	* tests/misc/pwd: Don't assume that Perl's getpwd agrees with our
651	pwd when there are multiple names for the working directory
652	(which can happen with an automounter, sigh).
653
654	* src/Makefile.am ($(SCRIPTS)): Don't depend on Makefile;
655	this causes Solaris 8 'make' to refuse to build "groups".
656	(localedir.h): Don't depend on Makefile: this causes Solaris
657	8 'make' to build localedir.h unnecessarily.  The dependence
658	on Makefile is ineffective anyway, since $(localedir) might
659	change even if Makefile hasn't.
660
661	* src/remove.c (remove_dir): If we can't save the state of the
662	working directory, pretend we started from "/", not ".".
663	This avoids a bug on hosts like Solaris that don't let you
664	remove the working directory.
665
6662004-07-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
667
668	* src/printf.c (strtiomax, strtoumax): Declare if not already
669	declared: this fixes a portability bug with Solaris 8 + GCC.
670	(STRTOX): Parenthesize use of macro arg as expression.
671	(vstrtoimax, vstrtoumax, vstrtold): Remove now-unnecessary
672	parentheses.
673	* configure.ac: Check for declaration of strtoumax, for
674	src/printf.c.
675
676	* src/Makefile.am (cp_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD, mv_LDADD,
677	pathchk_LDADD, rm_LDADD, test_LDADD): New vars, for eaccess.
678
679	* tests/readlink/can-e: Don't assume that we can remove the
680	working directory: this isn't possible under Solaris 8, say.
681	* tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
682	* tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
683
684	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): find_backup_file_name no longer
685	returns NULL, so don't bother to check for this.
686	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Likewise.
687	* src/ln.c (do_link): Likewise.
688
6892004-07-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
690
691	* src/nice.c (GET_NICE_VALUE): Renamed from GET_PRIORITY.
692	All uses changed.
693	(NZERO): New macro, if system doesn't define it already.
694	(usage): Distinguish priorities from nice values.
695	Don't assume NZERO is 20.
696	(main): Use bool instead of int where appropriate.
697	If user specifies an adjustment out of range, always truncate it
698	to an inrange value instead of sometimes giving an error message
699	and sometimes not.
700	Do not assume that -1 is an error return from "nice" or
701	"getpriority", as it might be the current nice value minus NZERO.
702	If nice/setpriority fails with errno == EPERM, go ahead and run
703	the command anyway; POSIX requires this.
704
705	* src/pathchk.c: Include euidaccess.h.
706	(dir_ok): Use euidaccess, not access.
707	* src/test.c (R_OK, W_OK, X_OK, FOK): Remove; system.h defines them.
708	(eaccess): Remove.  All users changed to use euidaccess instead.
709
7102004-07-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
711
712	* src/uptime.c (print_uptime) [defined BOOT_MSG]:
713	Don't assume ut_line is null-terminated.
714	* src/who.c (print_line): New arguments USERLEN and LINELEN,
715	since USER and LINE might not be null terminated.  All callers
716	changed.
717
7182004-07-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
719
720	Fix bug with "tail -f" reported by Rob Holland in
721	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-07/msg00054.html>.
722	Also, remove the undocumented and unsupported-since-2000
723	--max-consecutive-size-changes options.  Fix another related bug:
724	"tail" got confused if stdin, stdout, or stderr were closed.
725	Also, use output buffering even with "tail -f".
726
727	* NEWS: Document this, plus yesterday's patch.
728	* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): "size has remained the same"
729	-> "file has not changed", which is more accurate for fifos.
730	* src/tail.c: Include fcntl-safer.h.
731	(COPY_TO_EOF): Set to UINTMAX_MAX, not OFF_T_MAX (which was wrong).
732	(COPY_A_BUFFER): New macro.
733	(struct File_spec): New members mtime, mode, blocking.
734	Remove member n_consecutive_size_changes.
735	(DEFAULT_MAX_N_CONSECUTIVE_SIZE_CHANGES,
736	max_n_consecutive_size_changes_between_opens,
737	MAX_CONSECUTIVE_SIZE_CHANGES_OPTION): Remove.
738	(long_options, tail_forever, parse_options):
739	Remove (non-)support for --max-consecutive-size-changes.
740	(record_open_fd): New function.
741	(recheck, tail_file): Use it.  Don't assume that stdin is open.
742	(dump_remainder): Add support for new COPY_A_BUFFER special value.
743	Treat errno==EAGAIN like EOF, since it might be a nonblocking read.
744	(recheck): New arg BLOCKING, specifying whether to use blocking reads.
745	All uses changed.
746	(n_live_files): Remove, replacing with...
747	(any_live_files): New function.  All uses changed.
748	(tail_forever): Use nonblocking I/O unless we know that blocking I/O
749	is safe; this avoids some hangs when reading from a fifo.
750	Avoid invoking fstat or sleep when using blocking I/O.
751	Do not check for changes to size if the file is not a regular file,
752	as the size is undefined in that case.
753	Check for changes to mtime or mode, too; this works for non-regular
754	files.
755	(tail_forever, main): Redo fflush strategy to work even when input
756	is nonblocking.  Don't use unbuffered output; just flush when needed.
757
7582004-07-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
759
760	* src/tail.c (main): Ignore -f if no file operand is specified
761	and standard input is a pipe.
762	* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Do not ignore -f for
763	all pipes, just for when standard input is a pipe and no
764	file operand is specified.
765	* tests/tail/Test.pm: Reinstate f-1 test, since we now pass.
766	Add a new commented-out f-2 test, which we still fail.
767	(test_vector): All f-* tests are special cases, not just f-1.
768
7692004-07-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
770
771	* src/uptime.c: Include c-strtod.h.
772	(print_uptime): Use c_strtod instead of setlocale and sscanf.
773	Use long int rather than int to count days (for 64-bit hosts),
774	and check for arithmetic overflow when converting double to time_t.
775
7762004-07-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
777
778	* src/printf.c (vstrtold): Renamed from vstrtod.
779	Now returns long double.  All uses changed.
780	(print_direc): Use "L" length modifier when printing floating point
781	numbers, since we're now printing long double.
782
7832004-07-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
784
785	* Version 5.3.0.
786
787	printf cleanup, to avoid undefined behavior, to add support for
788	formats that Bash supports, and to support wide integers like
789	Bash does.
790
791	* NEWS: Document this.
792	* src/printf.c (UNSPECIFIED): Remove.  All uses now replaced by
793	booleans, so that we don't reserve any values for precision or
794	width (like Bash).
795	(STRTOX): Use prototype, not K&R-style definition.
796	(vstrtoimax): Renamed from xstrtol (to avoid confusion with xstrtol
797	in ../lib), with type change to intmax_t.
798	All uses changed.
799	(vstrtoumax): Renamed from xstrtoul, with type change to uintmax_t.
800	All uses changed.
801	(vstrtod): Renamed from xstrtod.  All uses changed.
802	(print_direc): Use boolean arg instead of special value to indicate
803	a missing precision or width.  LENGTH no longer includes
804	length modifiers or conversion character.  New arg CONVERSION
805	now specifies conversion character.
806	Use intmax_t-width formatting for integers (like Bash).
807	Add support for C99 %a, %A, %F (like Bash).
808	Add support for field width with %c (POSIX requires this).
809	Add a FIXME for lack of support for field width and precision
810	for %b.
811	Add support for '\'', '0' flags.
812	Check for invalid combinations of flags, field width, precision,
813	and conversion, to prevent use of undefined behavior.
814	Allow multiple length modifiers, for formats like "%lld" (like Bash).
815	Add support for C99 'j', 't', 'z' length modifiers (like Bash).
816	In error message, output entire invalid conversion specification,
817	instead of merely outputting % followed by the conversion char.
818	* tests/misc/printf: Add tests for the above.
819
8202004-04-03  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>
821
822	Change "readlink -f" to be more compatible with prior implementations.
823	Add more canonicalize options, -e and -m.
824	Add comprehensive tests for all readlink modes.
825
826	* m4/canonicalize.m4 (AC_FUNC_CANONICALIZE_FILE_NAME):
827	Do not add canonicalize.c here.
828
829	* src/readlink.c (longopts): Add new options.
830	(usage): Document them.
831	(canonicalize_fname): New proxy function.

8432004-07-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

846
8472004-07-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
848
849	* src/copy.c (copy_dir): Assume path_concat returns non-NULL.
850	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Likewise.
851	* src/mv.c (movefile): Likewise.
852
853	* src/cp.c (make_path_private): 2nd arg is now size_t, not int,
854	to avoid problem when path_concat dir name is longer than 2 GiB (!).
855
856	* src/nohup.c (main): Don't pass NULL first argument to path_concat.
857	This cleans up the semantics a bit, as we no longer try to open the
858	same file twice.
859
8602004-07-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
861
862	* NEWS: Add short names -t and -T for --target-directory
863	and --no-target-directory options, respectively.
864
865	* src/cp.c (NO_TARGET_DIRECTORY_OPTION, TARGET_DIRECTORY_OPTION):
866	Remove.  All uses changed to 'T' and 't', respectively.
867	* src/install.c, src/ln.c, src/mv.c: Likewise.
868
869	* src/cp.c (long_opts, usage, do_copy, main): Add -t and -T as
870	aliases for --target-directory and --no-target-directory,
871	respectively.
872	* src/install.c (long_options, main, usage): Likewise.
873	* src/ln.c, src/mv.c: Likewise.

879	.x-sc_file_system: New file.
880	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
881

884
8852004-06-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
886

890	* src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
891	* src/stat.c (usage): Likewise.
892	* src/stat.c (long_options, usage): Rename "--filesystem" to

894	reasons.
895
8962004-06-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
897
898	Add support for --no-target-directory option.
899
900	* NEWS: Document it.
901	* doc/coreutils.texi (Common options, Target directory, cp
902	invocation, install invocation, mv invocation, ln invocation):
903	Likewise.
904	(link invocation): Explain how to rewrite link using ln now
905	that we have --no-target-directory.
906	(ln invocation): Explain that --no-target-directory subsumes
907	--no-dereference.
908	(unlink invocation): Modify wording to match new wording in
909	link invocation.
910
911	* src/cp.c (NO_TARGET_DIRECTORY_OPTION): New constant.
912	(long_opts, usage, do_copy, main): Add support for
913	--no-target-directory,
914	* src/install.c (NO_TARGET_DIRECTORY_OPTION, long_options, main,
915	usage): Likewise.

921
9222004-06-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
923
924	Don't let verbose-mode output from a subshell obscure actual differences.
925	* tests/rm/inaccessible: Turn off command-echoing just before
926	invoking subshell, then turn it back on if VERBOSE=yes afterward.
927
9282004-06-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
929
930	Add support for 'install --target-directory', an option
931	that has been documented for years but not implemented (!).
932	* doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Document
933	--target-directory in synopsis, too.
934	* src/install.c (TARGET_DIRECTORY_OPTION): New var.
935	(long_options, main, usage): Add --target-directory.
936	(target_directory_operand): New function, stolen from mv.c.
937	(main): Use it.  Check for -d and --target-directory.
938	Alter wording of diagnostics to match other programs.
939
9402004-06-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
941
942	* src/cp.c (usage): Fix copy+paste error in description of
943	--target-directory: s/move/copy/.  From Paul Jarc.
944
9452004-06-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
946
947	Use more-consistent rules among cp, ln, and mv when dealing with
948	last operands that are (or look like) directories.
949
950	* src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): New, nearly-common function,
951	It reports an error if the destination appears to be a directory
952	(e.g., because it has a trailing slash) but is not.
953	* src/ln.c, src/mv.c: Likewise.
954	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Use it.
955	* src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
956	* src/mv.c (main): Likewise.
957
958	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Don't assume argc is positive.
959	Don't bother to lstat dest, since copy() will do that for us.
960	Use "const" to avoid the need for cast.
961
962	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Don't output a usage message because of file
963	problems (e.g., an operand is not a directory).  Use it only for
964	syntax.  Standardize on "target %s is not a directory" for the
965	diagnostic.
966	* src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
967	* src/mv.c (main): Likewise.
968
969	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Remove test for trailing slash, since
970	target_directory_operand now does this.
971	* src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
972	* src/mv.c (movefile): Likewise.
973
974	* src/cp.c (main): Reject multiple target directories.
975	Check whether a specified target is a directory when parsing the
976	options, using stat.  This gives more-accurate diagnostics.
977	* src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
978
979	* src/ln.c (isdir): Remove decl; no longer needed.
980	* src/mv.c (isdir, lstat): Likewise.
981
982	* src/ln.c (do_link): New arg dest_is_dir.  All uses changed.
983	Don't check the destination ourself; rely on dest_is_dir.
984	This way we can avoid lstatting the destination in the
985	usual case, and in the worst case we lstat 1, not 3 times.
986	Don't bother to unlink unless link failed; this saves a syscall.
987	Remove unnecessary backup_succeeded flag;
988	it was identical to "dest_backup != NULL".
989
990	* src/ln.c (main): Use int to count to argc, not unsigned int.
991	This handles negative operand counts.
992	* src/mv.c (main): Likewise.
993
994	* src/mv.c (do_move): Don't call hash_init; expect the caller to
995	do it, for consistency with cp.c and ln.c.  All callers changed.
996	(movefile): dest_is_dir parameter is now bool, not int.
997	(main): Standardize on "missing destination file operand after %s"
998	for the diagnostic, for consistency with cp.c.
999
1000	* tests/mv/diag: Don't assume "mv --target=nonexistentdir"
1001	will complain about the arg count.
1002	Adjust to new (briefer) diagnostics.
1003	* tests/cp/fail-perm: Add a test to verify that we get the new
1004	diagnostic when failing to copy through a symlink-to-inaccessible-dir.
1005
10062004-06-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1007
1008	Fix a bug: formerly, if d/x was a directory and x a file, "ln x
1009	d/" incorrectly created a link d/x/x.  It also saves some system
1010	calls.
1011
1012	* NEWS: Document the fix.
1013
1014	* src/ln.c (main): Don't append basename to dest if this
1015	results in an existing directory name.
1016	* tests/ln/misc: See whether a trailing slash is followed too far.
1017
10182004-06-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1019
1020	* src/printf.c (main): When given no arguments, print the standard
1021	"missing operand\nTry printf --help..." message -- to be consistent.
1022
10232004-06-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1024
1025	* src/mknod.c (main): Add \n at the end of message output via fprintf.
1026
10272004-06-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1028
1029	* tests/ln/misc: Add test for ln subscript error.
1030
10312004-06-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1032
1033	* src/ln.c (do_link): Remove unnecessary call to lstat.
1034	(main): Avoid subscript error when the destination is "".
1035
10362004-06-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1037
1038	* tests/*: Replace all occurrences of `(exit N); exit' with
1039	`(exit N); exit N'.  Otherwise, those many tests could exit with
1040	improper exit status when exiting via e.g., a trapped interrupt.
1041	Thanks to a report from Bob Proulx.
1042
10432004-06-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1044
1045	* src/who.c (idle_string, print_user): New arg boottime,
1046	specifying the most recent boot time.  All uses changed.
1047	(idle_string) Consider a line to be "old" if it hasn't been used
1048	since the last boot time.  Watch out for overflow when computing
1049	times, and for times in the future.
1050	(idle_string): Record latest boot time.
1051
10522004-06-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1053
1054	* src/test.c (usage): Correct description of `-t FD'.  The file
1055	descriptor, FD, is no longer optional.  Reported by Ton Nijkes.
1056
10572004-06-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1058
1059	The 2004-06-19 fix for who and pinky was incomplete, as ctime
1060	has undefined behavior if the year precedes -999 or follows 9999.
1061	Since we have to stop using ctime anyway, we might as well use
1062	strftime and fix the FIXME, and support internationalized dates.
1063
1064	* NEWS: Document the new behavior.
1065	* src/who.c: Include "hard-locale.h".
1066	(time_format, time_format_width): New vars.
1067	(time_string, print_line): Use them.
1068	(main): Set them.
1069	(time_string): Use localtime + strftime instead of
1070	ctime, to avoid problems with years before -999 or after 9999.
1071	* src/pinky.c: Likewise.
1072
10732004-06-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1074
1075	Fix bug: GNU 'ls' didn't count columns correctly if user or group
1076	names contained multibyte characters where the column count
1077	differed from the byte count.  This patch also corrects
1078	some comments.
1079
1080	* src/ls.c (format_user_or_group): New function, which counts
1081	columns correctly.
1082	(format_user, format_group): Use it.
1083	(format_user_or_group_width): New function, which counts columns
1084	correctly.
1085	(format_user_width, format_group_width): Use it.

10872004-06-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1088
1089	* tests/priv-check: Quote "$PATH" in PATH=$PATH.
1090	Suggestion from Andreas Schwab.
1091
1092	* tests/priv-check: When running as root, be sure to propagate
1093	PATH through to the process we exec as non-root.
1094	Reported by michael@aplatform.com.
1095
1096	* src/mknod.c (main): Don't segfault when calculating the

1104
1105	* src/basename.c (main):
1106	Standardize on the diagnostics given when someone gives
1107	too few operands ("missing operand after `xxx'") or
1108	too many operands ("extra operand `xxx'").
1109	Include "quote.h" and/or "error.h" if it wasn't already being included.

11802004-06-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1181
1182	Don't dump core if ctime returns NULL; this is possible on
1183	hosts with 64-bit time_t and 32-bit int.
1184	* src/who.c: Include "inttostr.h".
1185	(time_string): If ctime fails, print the raw time as an integer

1197	* NEWS: document this.
1198
11992004-06-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1200
1201	* src/system.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Switch back to
1202	using GNU_PACKAGE (from PACKAGE) once again.  This restores
1203	`GNU' to the parenthesized package name in --version output.
1204	Before, the first argument from AC_INIT, `GNU coreutils', would
1205	be propagated to the PACKAGE variable.	Now, `GNU ' is trimmed.

1207
12082004-06-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1209
1210	* src/tr.c (to_uchar): Rename function from `uchar'.  The latter
1211	would clash with a typedef in Tru64's <sys/types.h>.  From Albert Chin.
1212
12132004-06-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1214
1215	* NEWS: Remove more special cases for POSIXLY_CORRECT when POSIX
1216	allows the GNU behavior.  "--" is now supported by chroot, hostid,
1217	hosname, pwd, sync, yes.
1218	* doc/coreutils.texi (yes invocation, false invocation,

1231
1232	* NEWS: Remove special cases for POSIXLY_CORRECT when POSIX allows
1233	the GNU behavior.
1234	* doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation, unlink invocation): Document this.
1235	* src/ls.c (decode_switches): Pay attention to TABSIZE even if
1236	POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.  POSIX reserves upper-case environment
1237	variables to the implementation, so it's OK for ls to depend on
1238	TABSIZE.
1239	* src/pr.c: Include "hard-locale.h".
1240	(main): When in a non-POSIX locale, ignore POSIXLY_CORRECT, since
1241	POSIX specifies the behavior only in the POSIX locale.
1242	* src/printf.c (print_esc): Support \x, \u, \U even if POSIXLY_CORRECT,
1243	since POSIX says the behavior is unspecified here.
1244	* src/tail.c (parse_obsolescent_option): Support multiple file operands
1245	even if POSIXLY_CORRECT, since POSIX does not require a diagnostic.
1246	* src/printf.c (main): Recognize --help, --version even if
1247	POSIXLY_CORRECT.  POSIX does not specify any options, but it
1248	does not prohibit options either, so "printf" is like "expr" here.
1249	* src/unlink.c (main): Likewise.
1250	* tests/misc/printf: Adjust to the new semantics for \x if
1251	POSIXLY_CORRECT.
1252
12532004-06-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1254
1255	* tests/misc/pwd: New test, for fix of 2004-04-19.
1256	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pwd.
1257	(BUILD_SRC_DIR): Define BUILD_SRC_DIR.
1258
1259	* src/copy.c: Remove declaration of euidaccess.
1260	Instead, include "euidaccess.h".
1261
12622004-06-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1263
1264	* src/who.c (PIDSTR_DECL_AND_INIT): Don't assume pid_t fits in int.
1265	(UT_ID) [!HAVE_STRUCT_XTMP_UT_ID]: Remove bogus comment,
1266	as (sizeof "??") reliably returns 3.
1267	(print_line): Guard against idle and pid being too long
1268	(which is possible when printing headers).
1269	(print_user): Allocate enough bytes for idlestr.  Use IDLESTR_LEN.
1270	Avoid unnecessary cast of sizeof to int.
1271	(make_id_equals_comment): Do not assume that UT_ID returns
1272	a string; it might return a non-null-terminated array.
1273	Use strncat instead.  It's not very often where strncat is
1274	exactly what you want, but this is one of those rare cases.
1275
12762004-06-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1277
1278	* src/who.c (list_entries_who): Don't output a trailing space.
1279
12802004-06-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1281
1282	* src/touch.c (usage): Improve wording in description of the
1283	--time=WORD option.  Reported by Dan Jacobson.
1284
1285	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Change names of parameters
1286	old_uid and old_gid to required_uid and required_gid respectively.
1287
1288	* src/chmod.c (mode_changed): Return false, not 0, now that the
1289	function returns `bool'.
1290
12912004-06-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1292
1293	Adjust chmod and chown to be similar if -c or -v are given.  In
1294	particular, a no-op chown is no longer reported as a change; this
1295	reverts to previous behavior.  Also, fix both commands so that -v
1296	report failures even if the failure is not due to the chmod or
1297	chown syscalls.
1298
1299	* src/chmod.c (CH_NOT_APPLIED): New constant.
1300	(describe_change): Handle it.
1301	(process_file): Use it, if a symlink wasn't changed.
1302	(mode_changed): Return bool, not int.  Accept new argument
1303	NEW_MODE; all callers changed.  This lets us avoid statting the
1304	file unless the new mode has unusual bits.
1305	(process_file): Return -1 on error.  With -v, report all errors
1306	verbosely, not just some.
1307
1308	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Return -1 on error, not
1309	1 sometimes and -1 on others.  Our caller ORs together our results,
1310	and (-1 | 1) == 0 on ones-complement hosts.
1311	With -v report all errors verbosely, not just some.
1312	Fix bug when chopt->root_dev_ino && !chopt->affect_symlink_referent:
1313	file_stats wasn't set properly in that case.
1314
1315	* tests/chgrp/basic: Adjust to above changes.
1316
13172004-05-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1318
1319	* tests/chgrp/basic: Test that chgrp -h does not fail on
1320	symlinks, even on hosts where that's not supported.
1321	Test that if -R is specified without -H or L, -h is assumed.
1322	Test that chown() is not optimized away.
1323
13242004-05-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1325
1326	Several fixes to chgrp and chown for compatibility with POSIX and BSD:
1327
1328	  Check for incompatible options.  When -R and --dereference are
1329	  both used, then either -H or -L must also be used.  When -R and -h
1330	  are both used, then -P must be in effect.
1331
1332	  -H, -L, and -P have no effect unless -R is also specified.
1333	  If -P and -R are both specified, -h is assumed.
1334
1335	  Do not optimize away the chown() system call when the file's owner
1336	  and group already have the desired value.  This optimization was
1337	  incorrect, as it failed to updated the last-changed time and reset
1338	  special permission bits, as POSIX requires.
1339
1340	  Do not report an error if the owner or group of a
1341	  recursively-encountered symbolic link cannot be updated because
1342	  the file system does not support it.
1343
1344	* NEWS: Document the above.
1345
1346	* src/chgrp.c (main): Check for incompatible options.  -R --dereference
1347	requires either -H or -L, and -R -h requires -P.  If -H, specify
1348	FTS_PHYSICAL as well as FTS_COMFOLLOW; this is faster.  Make this
1349	file as much like chown.c as possible.
1350	* src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
1351
1352	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use ent->fts_statp only if
1353	needed.  Chown a directory only after chowning its children; this
1354	avoids problems if the new directory ownership doesn't permit
1355	access to the children.  Dereference symlinks before doing
1356	ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK, not after, so that we catch symlinks to /.
1357	Do not optimize away the chown() system call when the file's owner
1358	and group already have the desired value.  POSIX does not permit
1359	this optimization.  Rely on chown and lchown to do the right
1360	thing with symlinks and/or -1 arguments, now that we have wrappers
1361	to do this.  Use ENOTSUPP not ENOSYS, and ignore all ENOTSUPP
1362	errors, not just command-line errors.
1363	(chown_files): Pass FTS_NOSTAT to xfts_open if we don't need file status.
1364
1365	* src/system.h (ENOTSUP): Remove.
1366
1367	* tests/chgrp/basic: Use chown --from to discover whether the
1368	group changed, since chgrp now changes unconditionally.  This
1369	complicates the sed script a bit.  Do not specify --dereference,
1370	since it's the default (and we want to test this).  Adjust output
1371	to match the fact that chgrp no longer optimizes the case of
1372	changing a file's group to the same value as before.
1373	* tests/chgrp/posix-H: Do not attempt to combine -h and -H; these
1374	options are incompatible, and their behavior is undefined with POSIX.
1375	(changed, not_changed): Adjust to match the fact that -h is no longer
1376	specified.  Sort names.
1377	* tests/chown/deref: Adjust error-diagnostic spelling to match new
1378	behavior.
1379
13802004-06-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1381
1382	* src/uname.c (main): Fix typo introduced on 2003-05-10 that
1383	prevented a diagnostic of any operands.
1384
13852004-06-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1386
1387	* src/shred.c (direct_mode): Turn it on/off with directio, too.
1388
13892004-06-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1390
1391	Enable direct-mode I/O (bypassing the buffer cache), if possible.
1392	Prompted by a suggestion from Kalle Olavi Niemitalo
1393	in http://bugs.debian.org/207035.
1394	* src/shred.c (direct_mode): New function.
1395	(do_wipefd): Turn on direct-mode I/O.
1396	(dopass): If a file's first write fails with EINVAL,
1397	turn off direct-mode I/O and retry the write.
1398
13992004-06-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1400
1401	* src/tr.c (main): "tr -d a b" is now a fatal error even if
1402	POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.  The POSIX SYNOPSIS does not allow this
1403	option combination.
1404
14052004-06-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1406
1407	* src/shred.c (dopass): Don't subtract 1 from the offset after
1408	a write error.  Problem reported by Jon Peatfield in:
1409	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-06/msg00020.html
1410
14112004-06-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1412
1413	Fix bug reported by Buciuman Adrian in
1414	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-08/msg00105.html>
1415	where 'dd' created a file that was too large.  The bug was that dd
1416	assumed that the input file offset does not advance after a failed
1417	read; but POSIX says that the input file offset is undefined after
1418	a failed read.
1419
1420	* src/dd.c (MAX_BLOCKSIZE): New macro.
1421	(input_seekable, input_seek_errno, input_offset,
1422	input_offset_overflow): New vars.
1423	(scanargs): Reject block sizes greater than MAX_BLOCKSIZE.
1424	(advance_input_offset): New function.
1425	(skip_via_lseek): Set errno to zero when reporting our failure,
1426	so that we don't report based on garbage errno.
1427	(skip): If fdesc is standard input, advance the input offset.
1428	Do not quit if reading, and if noerror was specified;
1429	POSIX seems to require this.
1430	If read fails on output file, report the earlier lseek failure
1431	instead; this fixes a FIXME in dd_copy.
1432	(advance_input_after_read_error): New function.
1433	(dd_copy): Use it, instead of assuming that failed reads
1434	do not advance the file pointer.  Advance input offset
1435	after nonfailed reads.  Advance only a partial block if
1436	the previous read (before the failed read) succeeded, and
1437	do not generate an output block of zeros in this case.
1438	(main): Determine initial input offset, seekability of input,
1439	and error if it wasn't seekable.
1440
14412004-06-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1442
1443	rm (without -f) could hang unnecessarily when attempting to
1444	remove a symlink to a file on an off-line NFS-mounted partition.
1445	Reported by David Howells in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/124699.
1446	* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): New function.
1447	Don't invoke euidaccess on symlinks.
1448	(prompt): Use write_protected_non_symlink rather than using
1449	euidaccess directly, being careful not to call lstat twice for a file.
1450
1451	Fix a bug in how the --output-delimiter=D option works with
1452	abutting byte or character ranges.  Reported by David Krider in
1453	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-05/msg00132.html
1454	* src/cut.c (print_kth): Remove special case for open-ended range.
1455	(set_fields): Record the range start index for an interval even
1456	when it abuts another interval on its low side.
1457	Also record the range start index of the longest right-open-interval.
1458	* tests/cut/Test.pm: Add tests of --output-delimiter=S with
1459	abutting and overlapping byte ranges.
1460
14612004-06-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1462
1463	Some POSIX-conformance cleanups for tr.
1464
1465	* src/tr.c (posix_pedantic): Remove; no longer needed since
1466	we need to test this in just one place now.
1467	(usage): Mention -C.
1468	(unquote): Note that \055, \n, etc are escaped.
1469	Do not worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT when warning about ambiguous
1470	escape sequences.
1471	\ at end of string stands for itself.
1472	Do not diagnose invalid backslash escapes: POSIX says the behavior
1473	is unspecified in this case, so we don't need to diagnose it.
1474	(main): Add support for -C (currently an alias for -c).
1475	Do not diagnose 'tr [:upper:] [:upper:], as POSIX does not require
1476	a diagnostic here.
1477	* tests/tr/Test.pm: New tests bs-055, bs-at-end, repeat-Compl.
1478	Fix comment for range-a-a.
1479
14802004-05-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1481
1482	Improve the efficiency (and in one case, correctness) of code
1483	that reads symlinks.
1484
1485	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't use alloca, as it can mess up
1486	royally if the link length is long (e.g., GNU/Hurd).  Use
1487	xreadlink instead, it's safer.  Don't bother to read the link if
1488	it's the wrong size.  Add a FIXME because this area is a bit murky
1489	and undocumented.
1490	* src/ls.c (get_link_name): Update use of xreadlink.
1491	* src/readlink.c (main): Likewise.
1492	* src/stat.c (print_stat): Likewise.
1493
14942004-06-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1495
1496	* src/env.c (main): Prefer the notation `STREQ (a, b)'
1497	over `!strcmp (a, b)'.
1498	* src/sort.c (main, sort_buffer_size): Prefer the notation
1499	`STREQ (a, b)' over `strcmp (a, b) == 0'.
1500	* src/date.c (batch_convert): Likewise.
1501	* src/expr.c (nextarg): Likewise.
1502	* src/su.c (correct_password, restricted_shell, main): Likewise.
1503	* src/ptx.c (swallow_file_in_memory, main): Likewise.
1504	* src/test.c (binary_operator, and, or, main): Likewise.
1505
15062004-05-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1507
1508	* NEWS: echo compatibility cleanup.
1509	* doc/coreutils.texi (echo invocation): Document the changes.
1510	* src/echo.c (V9_ECHO): Remove; always enabled.
1511	(DEFAULT_ECHO_TO_XPG): Renamed from V9_DEFAULT, so that
1512	we use the same naming convention as bash.  Now an enum,
1513	not a macro.
1514	(usage): Reword to mention -e/-E more accurately.
1515	Mention \0NNN (the POSIX syntax) rather than \NNN (nonstandard).
1516	(hextobin): New function.
1517	(main): Use bool rather than int for local vars when appropriate.
1518	Do not allow options if POSIXLY_CORRECT, unless we are using
1519	BSD semantics and the first argument is "-n".
1520	Don't pass unnecessary extra arg to parse_long_options.
1521	do_v9 now defaults to DEFAULT_ECHO_TO_XPG, not to allow_options.
1522	Do not look for options if !allow_options.
1523	Use size_t rather than int when appropriate.
1524	Open-code option test rather than using strrchr.
1525	Use faster test for "-".
1526	Avoid redundant argc test.
1527	Add support for \x, for Bash compatibility.
1528	Use e.g. '\a' rather than '\007', for portability to EBCDIC hosts.
1529	When '\c' is encountered, stop printing immediately, as POSIX
1530	requires.
1531	Add support for \xhh syntax.
1532	Add support for \0ooo syntax; POSIX requires this.
1533
15342004-06-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1535
1536	* Use automake-1.8b.  Regenerate dependent files.
1537
15382004-05-31  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1539
1540	* tests/Makefile.am.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define PATH to include
1541	the build src/ directory -- at the front.
1542	($(srcdir)/$x-tests): Depend on Makefile.am.
1543	Use $x as the program name, except when it would be `test' (test is
1544	the sole program tested via mk-script that is also a shell built-in).
1545	In that case, use the old ../../src/$x.
1546
15472004-05-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1548
1549	Work around HPUX /bin/cc compiler bug that is exposed, now that
1550	sets are arrays of type `bool'.  More details here:
1551	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2004-05/msg00094.html
1552	FIXME: verify that the above URL points to the right message
1553
1554	* src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Use cleaner `sizeof in_set'
1555	rather than `N_CHARS * sizeof(in_set[0])'.  Using HPUX's /bin/cc
1556	(aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]) on an ia64-hp-hpux11.22
1557	system, those two expressions are not the same (256 vs. 1024).
1558	The effect of this problem was that `tr -c x y' would fail:
1559	tr: when not truncating set1, string2 must be non-empty
1560	(set_initialize): Remove unnecessary initialization of the `in_set'
1561	buffer; that initialization triggered the same compiler bug as above.
1562
15632004-05-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1564
1565	tr cleanup, mostly having to do with integer type ranges.
1566	Remove all casts.
1567
1568	* tests/tr/Test.pm: Add a few tests for the below.  Alas, most of
1569	the test cases wouldn't be portable, or would take too much CPU
1570	time, or both.
1571
1572	* src/tr.c (N_CHARS, N_CHAR_CLASSES): Now an enum, not a macro.
1573	This is safe since the code already assumes N_CHARS fits in int.
1574	(Filter): Remove: we want to prototype everything.
1575	(ORD, CHR): Remove.  All uses removed.  Some replaced with:
1576	(uchar): New function.  All places where a char must be converted
1577	to an unsigned char are now done this way, not by ad-hoc methods.
1578	(count): New type.  Use it whenever counts or states are needed.
1579	(BEGIN_STATE): Increase from INT_MAX - 1 (which was bogus, anyway,
1580	since we used it in an unsigned int context) to UINTMAX_MAX - 1.
1581	(REPEAT_COUNT_MAXIMUM): New macro.  Use it in place of BEGIN_STATE
1582	whenever appropriate.
1583	(NOT_A_CHAR): Remove global macro; now a local enum.
1584	(UL_LOWER, UL_UPPER, UL_NONE): No longer specify values, since
1585	the rest of the code no longer depends on them.
1586	(class_ok): Remove; all uses changed to use inline comparisons.
1587	(RE_NO_TYPE): Remove; wasn't used or needed.
1588	(struct List_element): normal_char and equiv_code are now unsigned
1589	char, not int.
1590	first_char, last_char, and the_repeated_char are now unsigned char,
1591	not unsigned int.  repeat_count is now count, not size_t.
1592	All uses changed.
1593	(struct Spec_list): state is now count, not unsigned int.
1594	lengthis now count, not size_t.
1595	n_indefinite_repeats is now size_t, not int.
1596	has_equiv_class, has_char_class, and has_restricted_char_class
1597	are now bool, not int.  All uses changed.
1598	(struct E_string): s is now char *, not unsigned char *.
1599	escaped is now bool *, not int *.  All uses changed.
1600	(ES_MATCH): Remove macro, replacing with:
1601	(es_match): New inline function.  All uses changed.
1602	(squeeze_repeats, complement, posix_pedantic, truncate_set1,
1603	translating): Now bool, not int.
1604	(io_buf): Now char array, not unsigned char.
1605	(SET_TYPE): Remove.  All uses replaced with bool.
1606	(is_equiv_class_member, unquote, append_range, append_char_class,
1607	append_equiv_class, find_closing_delim, star_digits_closebracket,
1608	build_spec_list, parse_str, homogeneous_spec_list):
1609	Now returns bool, not int.  All uses changed.
1610	(is_equiv_class_member): Now inline.
1611	(is_equiv_class_member, is_char_class_member, make_printable_str,
1612	append_normal_char, append_range, append_repeated_char,
1613	get_s2_spec_stats):
1614	Args are now of proper integer type.
1615	(unquote, look_up_char_class, make_printable_str,
1616	append_equiv_class, build_spec_list, squeeze_filter):
1617	Avoid unsigned char *p; gently convert *p to unsigned char instead.
1618	(unquote, get_spec_stats): Do not jump past declarations and then
1619	use them; C doesn't allow this in portable programs.
1620	(make_printable_str): Check for overflow in size calculations.
1621	(xmemdup): Remove.  All uses rewritten.
1622	(find_bracketed_repeat): Args are now of proper pointer-to-integer
1623	type.  Do not reject [c*0].  Use xstrtoumax, not xstrtoul.
1624	(find_bracketed_repeat, star_digits_closebracket): Check that the
1625	digits are not escaped.
1626	(build_spec_list): Don't bother to copy opnd_str; not needed.
1627	(build_spec_list, get_next): Simplify internal logic a bit.
1628	(card_of_complement): Fix bug due to char overflow.
1629	(get_spec_stats): Don't assume len fits into int.
1630	Check for integer overflow.  Use abort() rather than assert(0).
1631	(string2_extend): Fix subscript error: is_char_class_member (..., 255)
1632	was being invoked.
1633	(squeeze_filter): READER is never null now; simplify code.
1634	READER arg now has a simpler type.  Remove unnecessary casts.
1635	(squeeze_filter, main): Calls to fwrite improperly checked result
1636	against zero, rather than against requested size.
1637	(plain_read): New function.
1638	(read_and_delete, read_and_xlate):
1639	Remove unused filter arg, and don't worry about hit_eof.
1640	Simplify by using plain_read.
1641	(set_initialize): Args are bool and bool *, not int and SET_TYPE *.
1642	(main): Always pass a non-null procedure to squeeze_filter.
1643	Rewrite so that class_ok isn't needed.
1644
16452004-05-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1646
1647	* src/shred.c (dosync): Ignore EBADF errors, as IRIX 6.5
1648	fdatasync reports EBADF when syncing (unwritable) directories.
1649	Problem reported by Albert Chin-A-Young in:
1650	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-05/msg00165.html
1651
16522004-05-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1653
1654	* tests/chown/deref: Fix typo: use ls -ldo, not ls -ldg.
1655	Patch from Albert Chin.
1656
1657	* src/ptx.c (text_buffer_maxend): Remove declaration of unused variable.
1658
1659	* src/remove.c (push_dir): Merge declaration and adjacent assignment
1660	into a single statement.
1661
16622004-05-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1663
1664	* src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Eliminate an unnecessary comparison.
1665
16662004-05-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1667
1668	rm -r would get a failed assertion when run from an inaccessible
1669	directory and with two or more command line arguments including an
1670	absolute-named directory followed by a relative-named directory.
1671
1672	* src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [require_restore_cwd]: New member.
1673	* src/remove.c (struct cwd_state): Define.
1674	(AD_pop_and_chdir): Redesign interface so that a restore_cwd failure
1675	can be detected by the caller.  Instead of returning a malloc'd
1676	directory name, communicate it to caller via a new parameter, and
1677	return an indication of whether restore_cwd failed.  Update caller.
1678	Eliminate an unnecessary call to AC_stack_top.
1679	(remove_dir): Change type of cwd_state parameter to `struct cwd_state'
1680	so we can now communicate to caller whether/how functions like
1681	restore_cwd have failed.  Update caller.
1682	(rm_1): Fail if we've failed to restore the working directory
1683	and the name of the next file to remove is `.'-relative.
1684	(rm): Fail if the require_restore_cwd flag is true and we've
1685	failed to restore the working directory.
1686	* src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize new member,
1687	x->require_restore_cwd.
1688	* src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
1689
16902004-05-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1691
1692	* tests/rm/inaccessible: New test for the above fix.
1693	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
1694
1695	* src/remove.c (rm): Use free rather than XFREE.
1696	(remove_dir): Use xmalloc, not XMALLOC.
1697	(ds_init): Likewise.
1698
16992004-05-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1700
1701	* Makefile.maint (sc_unmarked_diagnostics): Now that the unmarked
1702	diagnostics in shred.c have been fixed, don't exempt shred.c from
1703	this check.
1704
1705	* src/shred.c: Use translatable diagnostics, e.g.
1706	change "%s: remove" to _("%s: failed to remove") and
1707	change "%s: close"  to _("%s: failed to close").
1708
17092004-05-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1710
1711	* src/shred.c (names): Bring back lower-case letters, "_", and
1712	".".  But continue to omit +, =, %, @, #, as they're either
1713	shell metacharacters (for some shells) or are not in some
1714	character sets, or (in the case of '%') must be a
1715	metacharacter somewhere.
1716
17172004-05-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1718
1719	* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Adjust to new signature of getndelim2.
1720
17212004-05-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1722
1723	* src/shred.c (incname): Decrement `len' only once per loop iteration.
1724
1725	chgrp and chown now dereference symlinks by default, per POSIX.
1726	Reported by Michal Politowski as http://bugs.debian.org/249177.
1727
1728	* src/chown-core.c (chopt_init): Affect each symlink referent by default.
1729	* src/chown.c (usage): Update to reflect this.
1730	* src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
1731	* NEWS: Describe the change.
1732	Adapt tests accordingly.
1733	* tests/chgrp/basic: Use -h where necessary to retain semantics.
1734	* tests/chgrp/deref: Likewise.
1735	* tests/chgrp/posix-H: Likewise.
1736
17372004-05-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1738
1739	In shred, check for errors from fdatasync more carefully.  If
1740	fdatasync fails with errno==EINVAL, it means this implementation
1741	does not support synchronized I/O for this file.  Do not report
1742	this as an error, as (for example) AIX 5.2 fdatasync reports it
1743	for raw disk devices.  Problem reported by Albert Chin in
1744	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2004-05/msg00028.html>.
1745
1746	Check for write errors, though: the old code ignored them.
1747	Improve error checking in a few other cases, too (e.g., close of a
1748	directory).
1749
1750	Also, change several 'int' values to 'bool', so that the error
1751	checking is a bit clearer.  Similarly, change unsigned values
1752	to size_t where appropriate.
1753
1754	* src/shred.c: Include "dirname.h".
1755	(datasync) [!HAVE_FDATASYNC]: Remove.
1756	(dosync): New function.
1757	(dopass): Use it.  Return 1 on write error, -1 on other error.
1758	All callers changed.  Report write error if dosync does.
1759	(do_wipefd, wipefd, wipename, wipefile): Return bool (true/false),
1760	not int (0/-1).  All callers changed.  Return false if there's a
1761	write error.
1762	(incname): Return bool (true/false), not int (0/1).  Accept
1763	size_t length, not unsigned.  All callers changed.  Do not
1764	bother checking for non-digits; it can't happen.  Replace
1765	recursion with iteration.
1766	(wipename): Use dir_name, base_name, etc. instead of assuming
1767	Unix file names.  Use size_t for length, not unsigned.
1768	Report error if unlink or close fails.
1769	(wipename, main): Use bool for booleans.
1770
1771	(names): Use only digits and uppercase letters, for greater
1772	portability.
1773
17742004-05-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1775
1776	* tests/chown/deref: New test for the yesterday's change.
1777	* tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add deref.
1778
17792004-05-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1780
1781	chown --dereference did nothing when the owner/group of a
1782	symlink matched the desired owner/group.  Reported by David Malone.
1783	Also reported in 1999 as http://bugs.debian.org/39642.
1784
1785	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): When --dereference has
1786	been specified, and when processing a symlink, stat it to get the
1787	owner and group of the referent.
1788
17892004-05-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1790
1791	* man/pwd.x, man/echo.x, man/printf.x: Fix typo:
1792	s/supercede/supersede/ reported by Andrew Fabbro.
1793
17942004-05-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1795
1796	Improve performance of `sort -m' on large files, at the cost of
1797	making some contrived examples unsafe.  POSIX allows this
1798	optimization.  Performance problem reported by Jonathan Baker in
1799	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-05/msg00071.html>.
1800
1801	* src/sort.c (first_same_file): Do not treat input pipes
1802	differently from other files.
1803	* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document that "sort -m -o F"
1804	might write F before reading all the input.
1805	* NEWS: Likewise.
1806
18072004-05-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1808
1809	* src/od.c (print_ascii, dump_strings): Use e.g. '\a' rather than
1810	'\007', for portability to EBCDIC hosts.
1811	* src/printf.c (print_esc_char): Likewise.
1812	* src/tr.c (unquote, make_printable_str): Likewise.
1813
18142004-05-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1815
1816	* src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Move lstat-`.' into if-block
1817	where the result is used.  This avoids one unnecessary lstat call
1818	per command line argument.
1819
18202004-05-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1821
1822	Don't assume that "make -C" works; Solaris "make" doesn't have -C.
1823
1824	* src/Makefile.am (all_programs.list): New rule, copied from
1825	man/Makefile.am and tests/Makefile.am, except that we use the
1826	system tr rather than ./tr and we don't use tr -s.
1827	* tests/Makefile.am (all_programs): Use it.
1828	* man/Makefile.am (all_programs): Likewise.  Renamed from programs,
1829	for consistency.  All uses changed.
1830
18312004-05-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1832
1833	* tests/rm/unread3: New test, for the above fix and today's
1834	lib/save-cwd.c improvement.
1835	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add unread3.
1836
1837	* src/rm.c: Don't include "save-cwd.h".  It's no longer used.
1838
18392004-05-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1840
1841	* tests/install/trap: New file.  Test for bug fix of 2004-04-18.
1842	* tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add trap.
1843
1844	* src/remove.c (AD_push): Don't use errno in diagnostic about
1845	`changed dev/ino'.
1846
1847	Remove these generated files from CVS.
1848	* tests/cut/cut-tests, tests/date/date-tests, tests/join/join-tests:
1849	* tests/ls/ls-tests, tests/pr/pr-tests, tests/tac/tac-tests:
1850	* tests/tail/tail-tests, tests/test/test-tests, tests/tr/range-tests:
1851	* tests/tr/tr-tests, tests/wc/wc-tests:
1852
18532004-05-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1854
1855	* src/tr.c (unquote): Use xcalloc rather than xmalloc and
1856	a loop initializing the just-allocated memory to zero.
1857
18582004-05-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1859
1860	* tests/rm/no-give-up: New file; check for today's fix.
1861	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-give-up.
1862
18632004-05-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1864
1865	Fix bug where "rm" gave up too easily, reported by Dan Jacobsen in
1866	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-05/msg00013.html>.
1867
1868	* src/remove.c (remove_entry): Check for errno values like ENOENT
1869	that show the file cannot be directory, instead of for errno
1870	values like EPERM that show the file might be a directory.  This
1871	is necessary because, when a single unlink() call has multiple
1872	reasons to fail, it can set errno to any of those reasons; it's
1873	only the rare errno value like ENOENT that excludes all the other
1874	possible reasons to fail even when the file is a directory.
1875	(remove_cwd_entries): Don't attempt chdir if the file is known
1876	to not be a directory.
1877	(remove_dir): Use the same method that remove_cwd_entries uses
1878	(for some reason they differed).  Don't assert that saved_errno
1879	must be EPERM; it might be just about anything.
1880
18812004-05-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1882
1883	* src/id.c (xgetgroups): Use xnmalloc, rather than xmalloc.
1884	Don't add `1' to the buffer size (it was to protect against malloc
1885	implementations that fail to allocate a buffer of size zero).
1886	That is no longer necessary, since we use a malloc wrapper
1887	on such systems.
1888
1889	* src/wc.c (get_input_fstatus): Use xnmalloc, rather than xmalloc.
1890	* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_pipe): Likewise.
1891	* src/df.c (main): Likewise.
1892	* src/shred.c (do_wipefd): Likewise.
1893	* src/users.c (list_entries_users): Likewise.
1894	* src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
1895	* src/md5sum.c (main): Likewise.
1896
18972004-04-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1898
1899	* src/df.c (show_disk, show_point): If several filesystems are
1900	mounted on the same mount point, prefer the last one, not the first.
1901	Problem reported by Christian Jones in
1902	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-04/msg00200.html>.
1903	(show_disk): Remove unused statp arg.  Return bool, not int.
1904	(show_point): Rewrite to avoid gotos.  Use the same algorithm
1905	for lofs and dummies for each pass through the mount table,
1906	rather than subtly different algorithms (which are probably
1907	inadvertent).
1908
19092004-05-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1910
1911	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add m4/ChangeLog, now that we no longer
1912	have m4/Makefile*.
1913
19142004-05-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1915
1916	When chown or chgrp is modifying the referent of a symlink,
1917	use the chown(2) function, if possible.
1918	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't hard-code the
1919	open/fchown/close kludge here.  Use `chown' instead.
1920	The chown function works just fine on conforming systems.
1921	Other systems now go through the new chown wrapper that
1922	resorts to the old kludge.
1923
1924	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add a comment.
1925
19262004-04-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1927
1928	* src/ptx.c: Make over 40 global extern variables `static'.
1929	(syntax_table, re_syntax_table): Remove declarations of two unused
1930	variables (they were exposed by the above change).
1931
1932	* src/du.c (G_fail, opt_nul_terminate_output): Declare `static'.
1933	* src/ln.c (backup_type): Likewise.
1934
1935	* src/remove.c (rm): Add `extern' keyword.
1936	* src/cp-hash.c (forget_created, remember_created)
1937	(src_to_dest_lookup, remember_copied, hash_init, forget_all): Likewise.
1938	* src/copy.c (dest_info_init, src_info_init, copy): Likewise.
1939	* src/chown-core.c (chopt_init, chopt_free, gid_to_name)
1940	(uid_to_name, chown_files): Likewise.
1941
1942	* src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): New rule.
1943	* Makefile.maint (sc_tight_scope): New rule.
1944	(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1945
19462004-04-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1947
1948	* Use automake-1.8.4.  Regenerate dependent files.
1949
1950	* src/sort.c (limfield): Make a comment clearer.
1951
19522004-04-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
1953
1954	Fix POSIX-conformance bug: "sort -k 3,3.5b" is supposed to skip
1955	leading blanks when computing the location of the field end;
1956	it is not supposed to skip trailing blanks.  Solaris 8 "sort"
1957	does conform to POSIX.  Also fix the documentation to clarify
1958	this and related issues.
1959
1960	* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Mention -k earlier, so
1961	that the options are in alphabetical order.  Describe how -b works
1962	more-accurately; this involves fixing some examples, too.  Mention
1963	what happens if the start field falls after an end field or after
1964	a line end.  Warn about using -k without -b, -g, -M, -n, or -t.
1965	Add an example of how to sort IPv4 addresses and Apache Common
1966	Log Format dates.  Remove a duplicate example.
1967	(Putting the tools together): Use separate options rather
1968	than agglomerating them.
1969	* src/sort.c (limfield): Use skipeblanks, not skipsblanks, to
1970	decode whether to skip leading blanks.
1971	(trailing_blanks): Remove.
1972	(fillbuf, getmonth, keycompare): Don't trim trailing blanks.
1973
1974	* tests/pr/Test.pm: Fix typo in env_default comment.
1975	* tests/sort/Test.pm: Likewise.
1976	(18c, 18d): Reverse the order of output lines, so that the
1977	test cases conform to POSIX.
1978
19792004-04-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
1980
1981	More signal-handling cleanup for ls.c.  Do not allow signals to
1982	happen between arbitrary output bytes, as the
1983	restore-default-color sequence can bollix up multibyte chars or
1984	color-change sequences in the ordinary output.  Instead, process
1985	signals only between printing a file name and changing the color
1986	back to non_filename_text color.  That way, if the signal handler
1987	changes the color (to the default), 'ls' will change it back when
1988	'ls' continues (after being suspended).
1989
1990	Also, do not bother with signal-handling unless stdout is a
1991	controlling terminal; this lets stdio buffer better when "ls
1992	--color" is piped or sent to a file.
1993
1994	* src/ls.c (sigprocmask, sigset_t) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: New macros.
1995	Do not include "full-write.h"; no longer needed.
1996	(tcgetpgrp) [! HAVE_TCGETPGRP]: New macro.
1997	(put_indicator_direct): Remove.  All callers changed to use
1998	put_indicator.
1999	(caught_signals, interrupt_signal, stop_signal_count): New vars.
2000	(restore_default_color): Don't bother checking for put_indicator
2001	failure.
2002	(sighandler): Don't handle SIGTSTP; that's another handler now.
2003	Simply set interrupt_signal to the signal, then exit.
2004	(stophandler, process_signals): New functions.
2005	(main): Don't output any color changes until _after_ the signal
2006	handlers are set up.  This fixes a race condition where 'ls'
2007	could be interrupted while initializing colors, and leaving the
2008	terminal in an undesirable state.
2009	Don't mess with signal-handling if standard output is not a
2010	controlling terminal.
2011	When exiting, restore the default color, then restore the
2012	default signal handling, then act on any signals that weren't
2013	acted on yet.
2014	Do not print //DIRED// etc. in colors; this avoids the need
2015	to catch signals when printing them.
2016	(print_name_with_quoting): Process signals just before switching
2017	color back to non_filename_text.
2018
20192004-04-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2020
2021	Avoid segfault on systems for which SIZE_MAX != (size_t) -1.
2022	* src/ls.c (quote_name): Use SIZE_MAX, not -1, in calls
2023	of quotearg_buffer.  Patch by Mikulas Patocka.
2024
20252004-04-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
2026
2027	tee ignored SIGPIPE, but POSIX doesn't allow this.
2028
2029	* src/tee.c (main): Do not ignore SIGPIPE, as POSIX 1003.1-2001
2030	does not allow this.  This undoes the 1996-10-24 patch.
2031
20322004-04-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
2033
2034	Signal-handling cleanup for coreutils.  Here are the highlights:
2035
2036	 - csplit sometimes failed to remove files when interrupted.
2037	 - csplit didn't clean up if two signals arrived nearly simultaneously.
2038	 - install -s would infloop on System V if SIGCHLD was ignored.
2039	 - ls could incorrectly restore color if multiple signals
2040	   arrived nearly simultaneously.
2041
2042	* src/csplit.c (sigprocmask, sigset_t) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]:
2043	Define.
2044	(filename_space, prefix, suffix, digits, files_created, remove_files):
2045	Now volatile.
2046	(caught_signals): New var.
2047	(cleanup): Block signals while deleting all files.
2048	(cleanup_fatal, handle_line_error, regexp_error):
2049	Mark with ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
2050	(create_output_file, close_output_file, interrupt_handler):
2051	Block signals while changing the number of output files,
2052	to fix some race conditions.
2053	(delete_all_files): Do nothing if remove_files is zero.
2054	Clear files_created.
2055	(main): Don't mess with signals until after argument processing
2056	is done.
2057
2058	* src/csplit.c (main): Rewrite signal-catching code to make it
2059	similar to other coreutils programs.  When processing signals,
2060	block all signals that we catch, but do not block signals that we
2061	don't catch.  Avoid problems with unsigned int warnings.
2062	* src/ls.c (main): Likewise.
2063	* src/sort.c (main): Likewise.
2064
2065	* src/csplit.c (interrupt_handler):
2066	Use void, not (obsolete) RETSIGTYPE.
2067	* src/shred.c (sigill_handler, isaac_seed_machdep): Likewise.
2068
2069	* src/csplit.c (interrupt_handler) [defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]:
2070	Use simpler "signal (sig, SIG_DFL)" rather than sigaction equivalent.
2071	* src/ls.c (sighandler) [defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Likewise.
2072	* src/sort.c (sighandler) [defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Likewise.
2073	* src/nohup.c (main) [!defined _POSIX_SOURCE]: Likewise, except
2074	for SIG_IGN.
2075	* src/tee.c (main) [!defined _POSIX_SOURCE]: Likewise.
2076
2077	* src/install.c: Include <signal.h>.
2078	(main) [defined SIGCHLD]: Set SIGCHLD handler to the default, if -s is
2079	given, since System V fork+wait does not work if SIGCHLD is ignored.
2080
2081	* src/ls.c (sighandler) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Reset signal
2082	handler to self, not to SIG_IGN, since SIGTSTP can be received
2083	more than once.
2084	(main): Use SA_RESTART, as that is simpler than checking for EINTR
2085	failures all over the place.
2086

2088
2089	* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Clarify comment.
2090
2091	* man/help2man: Accept new option: --program-name=NAME, so that we
2092	can override the one in --version output.  This is needed solely
2093	so that test.1 doesn't refer to `[' as the program name.
2094	Reported by Benjamin Cutler as http://bugs.debian.org/205251.
2095	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use help2man's new --program-name option.
2096
2097	* src/pwd.c: Don't include pathmax.h; system.h already does it.

2111	* src/pwd.c: (path_free, path_init, path_prepend): New functions.
2112	(nth_parent, find_dir_entry, robust_getcwd): New functions.

2154	* src/system.h (gcd, lcm, ptr_align): New functions, moved from od.c.
2155
21562004-04-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2157
2158	Remove m4/Makefile.am: it's no longer needed, with newer automake
2159	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove m4/Makefile.in from the list.
2160	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove `m4' from the list.

2175	MTIME_CMP.
2176
21772004-04-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2178
2179	* Makefile.maint (.re-list): New rule/file, to replace
2180	hard-coded list of header file names.
2181	(sc_system_h_headers): Use the new file.
2182	Don't look for sys2.h anymore.
2183
2184	* src/system.h: Include new "stat-macros.h" rather than hard-coding
2185	all of its macro definitions -- the list was slightly out of date.
2186	Suggestion from Dmitry V. Levin.
2187
21882004-04-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

2195
21962004-04-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2197
2198	* src/dd.c (dd_copy): Mark two diagnostics for translations.
2199	(set_fd_flags): Undo part of today's change: it's a little
2200	cleaner -- and more efficient in the common case -- to go
2201	ahead and OR in the -1 when fcntl fails.
2202
2203	* Makefile.maint (sc_dd_max_sym_length): New target.
2204	(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
2205
2206	* src/md5sum.c (PROGRAM_NAME) [algorithm == ALG_SHA1]:
2207	Correct spelling: s/shasum/sha1sum.  Reported by Jesse Kornblum.
2208
2209	* src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Don't OR in -1 when fcntl fails.
2210	Rename parameter, flags, to avoid shadowing global.

2221	(input_flags, output_flags): New vars.
2222	(LONGEST_SYMBOL): New macro.
2223	(struct symbol_value): Renamed from struct conversion.  Members
2224	symbol and value renamed from convname and conversion.  The
2225	symbol value is now an array instead of a pointer; this saves
2226	a bit of space and time in practice.  All uses changed.
2227	(conversions): Add nocreat, excl, fdatasync, fsync.  Now const.
2228	(flags): New constant array.
2229	(iflag_error_msgid, oflag_error_msgid): New constants.
2230	(parse_symbols): Renamed from parse_conversion and generalized
2231	to handle either conversion or flag symbols.
2232	(scanargs): Adjust uses of parse_symbols accodingly.  Add
2233	support for iflag= and oflag=.  Reject attempts to use
2234	both excl and nocreat.
2235	(set_fd_flags): New function.
2236	(dd_copy): Just return X rather than calling quit (X), since our
2237	caller invokes quit with the returned value.  Add support for
2238	fdatasync and fsync.
2239	(main): Add support for iflag=, oflag=, and new conv= symbols.
2240	* src/system.h (O_DIRECT, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOFOLLOW,

2253
22542004-04-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2255
2256	A specified format is no longer automatically newline terminated.
2257	If you want a newline at the end of your format, use `\n'.

2259	every format.
2260	(do_statfs): Add a newline at end of each default format string.

2286	test is not sensitive to system-dependent block size differences.
2287	Prompted by a report of Solaris 8 differences from Paul Eggert.
2288
2289	* tests/Fetish.pm: Accept new directives: OUT_SUBST, ERR_SUBST.
2290	Rename `%tmp' to `%actual'.  Reverse order of last two args to
2291	_compare_files (to $actual, $expected) so as to match declaration.

2295	Fix some gotchas encountered when porting to Solaris 8, using
2296	the Forte 6u2 compiler.

2300	* src/who.c: Include "vasprintf.h", for asprintf.
2301
23022004-03-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2303
2304	Minor optimization:
2305	* src/du.c (process_file): Don't record dev/inode for directories.
2306
2307	Under some circumstances, without -c, du would mistakenly count the
2308	space of hard-linked files, not just the first one it encountered.
2309	Reported by Anthony Thyssen.
2310	* src/du.c (du_files): Don't ever clear the set of `seen' dev/inodes.
2311

2313
2314	* src/du.c (main): Rearrange filtering loop to be a tiny bit

2344	Remove: not used.
2345	(usage): Say "NUL-terminated", not "NUL-separated".
2346	(main): Check for I/O error when istream is closed.

2362
2363	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Remove --info-page= option, reverting
2364	the change of 2004-01-22.  I can no longer reproduce the problem
2365	that prompted that change, and `info coreutils pr' would display the
2366	`printing text' section of the manual, not the one on `pr invocation'.
2367

2407	* doc/coreutils.texi (touch invocation):
2408	Describe use of fractional seconds.
2409	(date invocation, Options for date): Likewise.

2412	(Options for date): Describe new --iso-8601=ns option.
2413
2414	* doc/getdate.texi: Add copyright notice.  Change getdate to
2415	get_date when talking about the function name.
2416	(Seconds since the Epoch): New section, containing the time_t
2417	info moved from Date input formats section, along with new
2418	info about the @ syntax.  Mention negative time stamps,

2420	(General date syntax): Modernize examples a bit to reflect new
2421	features.
2422	(General date syntax, Relative items in date strings):

2424	(Time of day items): Add an example with fractional seconds.
2425	Describe fractional-second syntax.
2426
2427	* src/Makefile.am (touch_LDADD): New macro, since `touch' now
2428	needs clock_gettime.

2431	(time_spec_string, time_spec, show_date): Support it.

2436	* src/touch.c (newtime): Now an array of two timespecs, one
2437	for access and one for modification.
2438	(ref_stats): Remove.
2439	(get_reldate): Use get_date's parameter profile.
2440	(touch, main): Adjust to above changes.
2441	(main): Work even if tm_year == INT_MAX (so long as long int is wider).
2442	Use gettime instead of gettimeofday, for new get_date signature.
2443

2462
2463	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Tweak wording in a diagnostic.

2480	partitions, via two or more command line arguments where the
2481	command line argument containing the Nth link contains no other
2482	link to that same file, mv would mistakenly copy the file, rather
2483	than hard-linking it to the other(s).  That happens because when the
2484	final link is processed, its link count has been reduced to 1 since
2485	the other links have been `copied' to the destination partition
2486	and the source links have been removed.
2487	(copy_internal): When in move mode, use the source dev/inode
2488	pair to look up destination name even when st_nlink == 1.
2489	* src/cp-hash.c (src_to_dest_lookup): New function.
2490	* src/cp-hash.h (src_to_dest_lookup): Add prototype.
2491	* tests/mv/part-hardlink: New file.  Test for the above fix.
2492	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add part-hardlink.
2493
2494	* announce-gen: Sync with autoconf.
2495
2496	* tests/ls/time-1: Exit 77 (not 1) if we can't set up for the test.
2497	This was triggered on a Linux-2.2.19 system using a file system
2498	NFS-mounted from some sort of Sun.

25002004-03-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2501
2502	* Use automake-1.8.3.  Regenerate dependent files.
2503
25042004-03-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2505
2506	* tests/du/deref-args: Also convert sizes in the 70-79 kB range,
2507	so that this test works with SELinux-enabled systems.
2508	Based on a patch from Tim Waugh.
2509
2510	`join -1 x' would give a misleading diagnostic
2511	* src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Report that a non-numeric field
2512	number is invalid, rather than `so large that it is not representable'.
2513	* tests/join/Test.pm (invalid-j): New partial test for the above fix.
2514
25152004-03-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2516
2517	cp --sparse=always sparse-image-file.img /dev/hda1 could
2518	produce an invalid copy on the destination device.
2519
2520	* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Even with --sparse=always, try to
2521	make `holes' only if the destination is a regular file.
2522	Reported by Szakacsits Szabolcs.
2523
25242004-03-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
2525
2526	* src/nohup.c (main): Don't invoke set_cloexec_flag with
2527	a file descriptor of -1.
2528
25292004-03-02  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>
2530
2531	* src/nohup.c: Include "cloexec.h".
2532	(main): Set the copy of stderr to close on exec.
2533
25342004-03-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
2535
2536	* configure.ac: Include <signal.h> when checking for strsignal,
2537	sys_siglist, and friends.  Problem reported by Tony Leneis in
2538	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-02/msg00136.html>.
2539
25402004-02-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
2541
2542	* tests/du/deref-args, tests/du/exclude, tests/du/slash:
2543	* tests/du/trailing-slash: Run envvar-check in case BLOCK_SIZE
2544	etc. are set.
2545
25462004-02-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
2547
2548	* NEWS: Document how chown's USER.GROUP argument is now parsed.
2549
25502004-02-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2551
2552	* src/seq.c (usage): Remove stray space after \n in --help output.
2553
25542004-02-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2555
2556	* src/du.c (usage): Separate -H and --si.  Say that the meaning
2557	of -H will soon change to that of --dereference-args (-D).
2558
25592004-02-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2560
2561	* src/comm.c (usage): Tell what comm does when there are no options.
2562	Reword in terms of FILE1 and FILE2 rather than `left file' and
2563	`right file'.  Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
2564
25652004-02-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
2566
2567	Fix some POSIX-conformance bugs in expr.
2568
2569	* NEWS: document the following changes to src/expr.c.
2570	* doc/coreutils.texi (expr invocation): Likewise.
2571	Document what forms integers may take, and say "integer"
2572	consistently instead of "number".  Warn about operands
2573	that "expr" can misinterpret, and how to work around the
2574	problem.
2575	* src/expr.c (eval, eval7, eval6, eval5, eval4, eval3, eval2, eval1):
2576	Accept a bool argument specifying whether to evaluate the
2577	expression.  This is to allow short-circuit evaluation.  All
2578	callers changed.
2579	(null): Report that a string is zero even if it has
2580	a form like "-0" or "00".
2581	(eval1, eval): Use short-circuit evaluation for | and &.
2582	(eval): Return 0 if both arguments are null or zero, instead
2583	of returning the first argument.
2584	* tests/expr/basic: Add some tests for the above.
2585
25862004-02-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2587
2588	* Version 5.2.0.
2589
2590	`make check' from a build inside a chroot environment would fail
2591	* tests/help-version: Specify an argument (`/') for df, in the
2592	unusual event that there is no valid entry in /etc/mtab.
2593	Likewise for id: add the -u option, so we don't get spurious
2594	failures when there are no user or group names.
2595	Patch by Tim Waugh.
2596
2597	* src/sort.c (usage) [-u]: Add punctuation so that the description in
2598	the help2man-generated (line-joined) man page is more readable.
2599	Reported by Tim Waugh.
2600	[-T]: Add a semicolon, for the same reason.
2601
26022004-02-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2603
2604	* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Qualify target with $(srcdir)/ prefix.
2605
26062004-02-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2607
2608	* tests/Makefile.am.in ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Use more portable
2609	$(srcdir)/../Makefile.am.in, rather than $<.
2610	Suggestion from Michael Elizabeth Chastain.
2611
26122004-02-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2613
2614	* config/install-sh: Make this script executable.
2615	* Makefile.am (dist-hook): New target, to ensure that config/install-sh
2616	is executable.  Otherwise, on systems that lack a suitable install
2617	binary, `make install' would fail, because of the way this script
2618	is invoked (without `$SHELL ' prefix).
2619	Reported by Bob Proulx.
2620
26212004-02-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2622
2623	* Version 5.1.3.
2624
2625	* tests/rm/rm5: Avoid triggering a bug in OSF/Tru64's sed
2626	that would cause an unwarranted test failure.
2627	* tests/rm/rm3: Likewise.
2628
26292004-02-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2630
2631	Remove xstat function pointer member.  The way it was used was not
2632	portable, since some systems (OSF V5.1, Solaris 2.5.1) provide static
2633	inline `stat' and `lstat' functions, thus making the tests of
2634	`xstat == lstat' in copy.c always fail.
2635	* src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [xstat]: Remove member.
2636	(XSTAT): New macro.
2637	* src/copy.c (copy_dir): Set `.dereference' member, not .xstat.
2638	(copy_internal): Use `XSTAT (x, ...)' in place of `*(x->xstat) (...)'.
2639	Use `x->dereference == DEREF_NEVER' in place of `x->xstat == lstat'.
2640	(valid_options): Remove now-obsolete FIXME comments.
2641
2642	* src/cp.c (re_protect): Use `XSTAT (x, ...)' in place of
2643	`*(x->xstat) (...)'.
2644	(do_copy): Declare/use local xstat rather than x->xstat.
2645	(main): Remove code that set x.xstat.
2646	* src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Don't initialize xstat member.
2647	* src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
2648
2649	* Makefile.cfg (gnu_ftp_host-alpha, etc.): Un-factor .gnu.org suffix,
2650	so that emit_upload_commands can use these variables, too.
2651
26522004-02-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2653
2654	* tests/rm/deep-1: Remove `du' stack space test.
2655	Apparently, `ulimit -s N' isn't portable enough.
2656	This test will be restored (with a guard against losing ulimit)
2657	in its own file later.
2658
2659	* tests/rm/deep-1 (deep): Remove progress-style diagnostics,
2660	since this test doesn't take long enough to merit them.
2661	Run du on $tmp (the containing dir), not $deep, the full path to leaf.
2662
2663	* Makefile.maint (signatures): Remove definition.
2664	Now, automake's gnupload handles this.
2665	(%.sig: %): Remove now-unused rule.
2666	(rel-files): Use automake's $(DIST_ARCHIVES), rather than
2667	`$(distdir).tar.bz2 $(distdir).tar.gz'.
2668	(emit-upload-commands): Adjust to use gnupload.
2669
26702004-02-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2671
2672	* src/system.h (ST_TIME_CMP_NS, ST_TIME_CMP): Remove definitions.
2673	(ATIME_CMP, CTIME_CMP, MTIME_CMP, TIMESPEC_NS): Likewise.
2674	Now, those are all defined in timespec.h.
2675	Include timespec.h.
2676
2677	* src/date.c: Don't include timespec.h, now that system.h does it.
2678
26792004-02-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
2680
2681	Don't dump core if localtime returns NULL (possible on
2682	hosts with 64-bit time_t and 32-bit int).
2683	* src/date.c: Include "inttostr.h".
2684	(batch_convert, main):
2685	If time conversion fails, exit with nonzero status.
2686	(show_date): Return int to report conversion failure.
2687	Print the time as an int if localtime fails.
2688	* src/uptime.c: Print "??" if the current clock can't
2689	be converted by localtime.  This won't happen until the year
2690	2*31 + 1900, but we don't want to dump core even if the current
2691	clock has the wrong value.
2692
2693	* src/stat.c: Include "inttostr.h".
2694	(human_time): Print the date/time as a number of seconds since the
2695	epoch if it can't be converted by localtime.  This is better than
2696	just saying "invalid", and is consistent with what "ls" does.
2697	Don't dump core if the year has more than 48 digits; this isn't
2698	possible on any contemporary host, but we might as well do it right.
2699
27002004-01-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
2701
2702	* src/stat.c (human_time): Accept time rather than
2703	pointer-to-const-time parameter, for clarity.  All callers changed.
2704
27052004-02-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2706
2707	* src/stat.c (do_stat): Remove extra trailing newline from
2708	default formats.  Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
2709
2710	Print actual fractional seconds in time stamps, not just `.00000000'.
2711	* src/stat.c (human_time): Add and use new parameter, t_ns.
2712	(print_stat): Update callers.
2713	* src/ls.c (TIMESPEC_NS): Remove definition.
2714	* src/system.h (TIMESPEC_NS): Define here, instead, now that stat.c
2715	also uses this macro.
2716	Nelson H. F. Beebe noticed that ls --full-time printed nonzero
2717	fractional seconds for files on an XFS file system, but that stat's
2718	fractional seconds were always zero.
2719
27202004-01-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
2721
2722	* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Use 'double' for loop index, not
2723	'int', to avoid problems with integer overflow.  On almost all
2724	machines 'double' works in every case where 'int' works, and
2725	it works on other cases besides.
2726
27272004-01-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2728
2729	* src/seq.c (usage): Mention that if INCREMENT is omitted,
2730	it defaults to 1, even when FIRST is larger than LAST.
2731	Reword so as not to exclude the possibility that INCREMENT be zero.
2732
27332004-01-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2734
2735	* Version 5.1.2.
2736
2737	* Makefile.maint (signatures): Comment out definition.
2738
27392004-01-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2740
2741	* Makefile.maint (header_regexp): Add exitfail.
2742
2743	* man/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add help2man.
2744	Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
2745
2746	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Prefix help2man invocation with `$(PERL) --'
2747	so it works on systems with Perl installed somewhere other than in
2748	/usr/bin.
2749
2750	* src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Declare local, chr, to be of type
2751	`int', not `char', since it must hold EOF.  This bug would make
2752	paste infloop on some systems.  Test failures reported by
2753	Nelson H. F. Beebe and Christian Krackowizer.
2754
27552004-01-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2756
2757	* tests/rmdir/fail-perm: New file.  Test for just-fixed rmdir bug.
2758	* tests/rmdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-perm.
2759
2760	* man/help2man: Fix it so using --info-page='coreutils PROG' works.
2761	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Invoke our own (tweaked) copy of help2man.
2762	Use --info-page='coreutils PROG' option.
2763	Now, readlink.1 refers the user to `info coreutils readlink'
2764	rather than to `info readlink'.  Reported by Matt Swift.
2765
27662004-01-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
2767
2768	Exit status cleanup.
2769

2786	* src/users.c, src/wc.c, src/who.c, src/whoami.c, src/yes.c: Likewise.
2787
2788	* src/cat.c (usage): Don't bother normalizing exit status
2789	since the arg is already the correct exit status now.
2790	* src/cksum.c, src/comm.c, src/csplit.c, src/cut.c,
2791	* src/dircolors.c, src/expand.c, src/fmt.c, src/fold.c, src/head.c,

2794	* src/tsort.c, unexpand.c, src/src/uniq.c, src/src/wc.c: Likewise.
2795
2796	* src/chown.c (main): Removed unused local 'fail'.
2797
2798	* src/chroot.c (CHROOT_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE, CHROOT_FAILURE):
2799	Remove.
2800
2801	* src/chroot.c (main): Initialize exit_failure to EXIT_FAIL.
2802	* src/env.c, src/nice.c, src/su.c: Likewise.
2803	* src/nohup.c (main): Likewise, to NOHUP_FAILURE.
2804	* src/setuidgid.c (main): Likewise, to SETUIDGID_FAILURE.
2805	* src/expr.c (main): Use initialize_exit_failure rather than
2806	setting exit_failure directly; this optimizes away redundant
2807	assignments.
2808	* src/printenv.c, src/sort.c, src/test.c, src/tty.c: Likewise.
2809
2810	* src/chroot.c (main): Exit with status 1 rather than 127
2811	if chroot itself fails, as per documentation.
2812
2813	* src/chroot.c (main): Use EXIT_ENOENT and EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE
2814	rather than roll-your-own symbols or integers.
2815	* src/env.c (main): Likewise.
2816	* src/nohup.c (main): Likewise.
2817	* src/su.c (run_shell): Likewise.
2818
2819	* src/cp.c (exit_status): Remove static var....
2820	(main): Making it local here instead.  Use =, not |=, to set it.
2821
2822	* src/cut.c (FATAL_ERROR, main): Exit with status EXIT_FAILURE,
2823	not 2, on errors.
2824	* src/date.c (batch_convert, main): Likewise.
2825	* src/dd.c (dd_copy): Likewise.
2826	* src/pr.c (first_last_page, main, getoptarg): Likewise.
2827	* src/tr.c (main): Likewise.
2828	* src/date.c (main): Don't assume EXIT_FAILURE == 1, as
2829	POSIX doesn't require it.
2830	* src/dd.c (write_output, skip, dd_copy): Likewise.
2831	* src/df.c (main): Likewise.
2832	* src/id.c (main): Likewise.

2840	by env proper.
2841	* src/hostname.c (main): Likewise.
2842	* src/nl.c (main): Likewise.
2843	* src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
2844
2845	* src/expr.c (EXPR_FAILURE): Renamed from EXPR_ERROR, for
2846	consistency with the other programs' naming conventions.
2847	All uses changed.
2848
2849	* src/factor.c (main): Do not report a usage error simply
2850	because stdin has bad numbers.
2851
2852	* src/id.c (problems): Now a boolean int, not a counter,
2853	so that we don't have to worry about int overflow.  All uses changed.
2854	* src/touch.c (err): Likewise.
2855
2856	* src/md5sum.c (main): Use int, not size_t, to store boolean int.
2857
2858	* src/mkfifo.c (main): Exit with status 1, not 4, if not implemented.
2859	* src/mknod.c: Likewise.
2860
2861	* src/nice.c (main): Exit with status EXIT_FAIL, not EXIT_FAILURE,
2862	on error; this is in case EXIT_FAILURE is unusual.
2863	* src/su.c (main): Likewise.
2864
2865	* src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE): Remove; all uses
2866	changed to EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE.
2867
2868	* src/printenv.c (PRINTENV_FAILURE): New constant.
2869	(main): Exit with status PRINTENV_FAILURE, not EXIT_FAILURE, on
2870	command-line syntax problems.
2871
2872	* src/rmdir.c (remove_parents): Don't set 'fail' to a negative number.
2873	(main): Avoid integer overflow when seeing whether errors occurred.
2874
2875	* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Now returns void, not (zero) int.
2876	All callers changed.
2877	(main): Remove unused local variable 'errs'.  Always exit successfully
2878	if we reach the end.
2879

2908	so as to avoid problems with systems using TAI clocks.
2909	Although it's no longer necessary, set TZ=UTC0 also for the
2910	initial touch command.  Reported by Paul Jarc here:

2919	* tests/touch/relative: Use TZ=UTC0, not TZ=utc (which isn't
2920	portable).  Problem reported by Christian Krackowizer.  Also, use
2921	+0000 rather than +0 to specify a time zone, as the documentation
2922	requires four digits.

2983	From Andreas Schwab.
2984
2985	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove `/vg' (prerelease test
2986	remnant) from PATH component.  That would cause tests in this directory
2987	not to run the just-built binaries, but rather whatever happened
2988	to be in one's PATH.  Reported by Christian Krackowizer.

3001	* src/paste.c: Use `bool' (not int) as the type for a few
3002	global variables.
3003	(collapse_escapes): Rewrite to set globals rather than modifying

3059	accordingly.  Document that -t makes all separators significant.
3060
3061	* src/join.c: Include posixver.h.
3062	(obsolete_usage): New var.
3063	(longopts): Put obsolete options first.
3064	(OBSOLETE_LONG_OPTIONS): New constant.
3065	(get_option, add_file_name): New functions.
3066	(main): Use them to support new behavior.
3067	(usage): Remove documentation for -j1 FIELD and -j2 FIELD.
3068	Do not mark -j FIELD as obsolescent; it is longstanding

3072
30732003-12-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
3074
3075	* src/join.c (add_field_list): Don't use alloca with unbounded

3077
3078	Various other minor cleanups, mostly to avoid the need for casts.
3079
3080	(extract_field): Renamed from ADD_FIELD, as it's now a function.
3081
3082	(struct field.beg): Now char *, not unsigned char const *.  All
3083	uses changed.  It shouldn't be const since xmemcoll writes on its
3084	arguments.

3086	(keycmp): Remove now-unnecessary cast of xmemcoll args.
3087

3096	false), for consistency with the rest of the code.  All uses changed.
3097
3098	(tab): Now char, not unsigned char.  This wasn't 100% necessary
3099	but is slightly cleaner.

3101
3102	(empty_filler): Now const *.
3103
3104	(make_blank): Remove; wasn't needed.  Remove all calls.
3105	(main): Don't set uni_blank.nfields; zero is fine.

3132	Remove forward decl; not needed.
3133	(print_file_name_and_frills, length_of_file_name_and_frills):

3209	don't have to worry about buffer overrun.  Update dired_pos.
3210	(print_long_file): Don't put owner, group, author into buffer;
3211	just print them directly.  Don't assume link counts and
3212	major and minor numbers fit into unsigned long int.

3214	'ls' output is fixed-width.

3321
3322	* src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Use `sizeof *var' rather than
3323	hard-coding `sizeof FILE*'.
3324
33252003-11-05  Dennis Smit  <ds@nerds-incorporated.org>
3326
3327	* src/wc.c (main): Free `fstatus' so there is no confusion about
3328	whether it's leaked or not.
3329	* src/who.c (who): Likewise for `utmp_buf'.

33312003-11-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
3332
3333	Fix 'cut' problems with size_t overflow and unsigned int.
3334	More generally, resize integer variables to fit use more precisely.
3335	* src/cut.c (ADD_RANGE_PAIR): Remove unnecessary parens.
3336	(struct range_pair): Make members to be of type size_t, not unsigned.
3337	(max_range_endpoint, eol_range_start): Now size_t, not unsigned.

3343	Use size_t, not unsigned, for field and byte counts.
3344	(hash_int): Use uintptr_t, not unsigned, for pointers converted
3345	to integers.  This squeezes more info out of them.

3358
3359	* Use autoconf-2.58.  Regenerate dependent files.
3360
3361	* src/tr.c (spec_init): Fix typo in last change.
3362
3363	* src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Cast NULL to `(char *)' in
3364	call to variadic version_etc function, so that it works even on systems
3365	for which sizeof char* != sizeof int.
3366	* src/true.c (main): Likewise.
3367	* basename.c, chroot.c, cksum.c, dd.c, dirname.c, echo.c, expr.c:

3371	Similarly, cast NULL to `(char *)' in call to variadic function,
3372	parse_long_options, so that it works even on systems for which
3373	sizeof char* != sizeof int.
3374	A similar problem was reported by Harti Brandt in
3375	http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2003-10/msg00320.html.
3376

3390	* src/od.c (decode_format_string): Remove unnecessary casts.
3391	Use more maintainable `sizeof *var'.
3392	(main): Call decode_format_string rather than decode_one_format,
3393	now that `spec' may be NULL.
3394
3395	* src/chmod.c (AUTHORS): Add my name.
3396
3397	* src/split.c (next_file_name): Use `sizeof *var' rather than

3429	(append_repeated_char, append_equiv_class, spec_init): Use `sizeof *var'
3430	rather than `sizeof EXPLICIT_TYPE'.  The former is more maintainable

3455
3456	Don't fail when run with VERBOSE=yes.
3457	* tests/chgrp/basic: Do `set +x' before starting the subshell
3458	from which we invoke chgrp.  Otherwise, the output from the
3459	VERBOSE=yes-induced `set -x' would result in spurious differences.
3460	Reported by Russel Coker via Michael Stone.
3461
34622003-10-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3463
3464	chmod now uses fts to perform a directory traversal when -R is
3465	specified.  Before, it operated on full path names, and as such
3466	would encounter the PATH_MAX (often 4096) limit.
3467
3468	* src/chmod.c: Include "xfts.h".
3469	(process_file): Rename from change_file_mode.
3470	Adapt to be used with fts.

3472
34732003-10-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3474
3475	* tests/du/deref-args: Ensure that du -D now dereferences all
3476	symlinks specified on the command line, not just those that
3477	reference directories.

3506	generated `man' page is more readable.  Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
3507

3530
3531	* src/tail.c (start_bytes): Rename local, remainder, to avoid
3532	gcc's warning about shadowing a global.
3533
35342003-10-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3535
3536	chown and chgrp now accept POSIX-mandated -H, -L, -P options and
3537	use fts to perform a directory traversal when -R is specified.
3538	Before, they operated on full path names, and as such would
3539	encounter the PATH_MAX (often 4096) limit.
3540	They are more efficient.  For example, before, chgrp -R would
3541	take almost 5 seconds to change about 2000 directories and fail
3542	(with `File name too long'), while now it succeeds on a hierarchy
3543	of depth 20,000 in 1/10 the time.
3544
3545	* src/chown.c: Include "userspec.h" and "fts_.h".

3552
3553	* src/chgrp.c: Include "fts_.h".
3554	(WRITTEN_BY): Add my name.
3555	(MAXUID, MAXGID): Remove definitions.  Use GID_T_MAX instead of
3556	the latter.
3557	(usage): Update.
3558	(main): Handle new options.
3559	Call new function, chown_files rather than change_file_owner.
3560
3561	Rewrite to iterate through hierarchies using fts rather than
3562	via explicit recursion.
3563	* src/chown-core.c: Include "fts_.h"
3564	(change_file_owner): Rewrite to use FTS* and FTSENT* and to operate
3565	on a single file at a time.
3566	(chown_files): New function.
3567	* src/chown-core.h [enum Dereference_symlink]: Remove declaration.
3568	[struct Chown_option] (recurse, force_silent): Change type to `bool'.

3576
3577	* src/ln.c (usage): Clarify that --directory, -d, -F probably won't
3578	work even for superuser.  Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
3579
35802003-10-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
3581
3582	Fix some number-parsing bugs, e.g., "head -n 100k@" wasn't
3583	properly diagnosed.
3584	* lib/human.c, lib/xstrtoimax.c, lib/xstrtol.c, lib/xstrtol.h,
3585	lib/xstrtoul.c, lib/xstrtoumax.c: Sync with gnulib.
3586	* src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Handle the case where overflow
3587	and invalid suffix char are both reported.
3588
35892003-10-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3590
3591	* src/ls.c (decode_switches) [TIOCGWINSZ]: Comment out the
3592	warning-inducing test, ws.ws_col <= SIZE_MAX, since it was always
3593	true on Linux.
3594
35952003-10-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
3596
3597	Fix to avoid a denial-of-service attack if the display width is
3598	enormous.  Also, clean up the code a bit by removing duplicate code.
3599
3600	* src/ls.c (init_column_info): Remove forward decl; no longer needed.
3601	(calculate_columns): New function, that contains code that used
3602	to be common to print_many_per_line and print_horizontal.
3603	(print_many_per_line, print_horizontal): Use it.
3604	(decode_switches): Set max_idx here, not in calculate_columns.
3605	(print_current_files): Don't call init_column_info; calculate_columns
3606	now does that.
3607	(init_column_info): Don't allocate a lot more space than is needed
3608	to represent the current set of files.  Allocate all the new
3609	size_t cells in one call to xnmalloc, rather than a row at a time.
3610
36112003-10-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3612
3613	* src/ls.c (init_column_info): Add another FIXME comment.
3614
36152003-10-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
3616

3620
3621	* src/ls.c (struct bin_str.len, length_of_file_name_and_frills, indent,
3622	nfiles, files_index, tabsize, line_length, struct column_info.line_len,
3623	struct column_info.col_arr[0], max_idx):
3624	Now size_t, not int.
3625	(get_funky_string): Return bool indicating success, instead of
3626	a negative count to indicate failure.  Store number of columns
3627	through new parameter OUTPUT_COUNT; that way, they can never
3628	go negative.  Change equals_end from int to bool.  All uses
3629	changed.
3630	(struct column_info.valid_len): Now bool, not int.  All uses changed.
3631	(dired_dump_obstack, get_funky_string, clear_files,

3633	print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, init_column_info,
3634	put_indicator, length_of_file_name_and_frills,
3635	print_with_commas): Use size_t, not int, for local variables
3636	that count sizes.
3637	(decode_switches): Decode sizes using xstrtoul, not xstrtol.
3638	Check for TIOCGWINSZ returing negative values (or values greater
3639	than SIZE_MAX!).
3640	(visit_dir, main, parse_ls_color, queue_directory, add_ignore_pattern,
3641	init_column_info):
3642	Use xmalloc and xnmalloc, not XMALLOC.
3643	(gobble_file): Use xnrealloc, not XREALLOC.
3644	(print_color_indicator): Remove now-unnecessary cast to size_t.
3645
36462003-10-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
3647
3648	* tests/du/no-x: Change wording of diagnostic to match latest du.c.

3653

3659	(main): Initialize global, root_dev_ino.
3660
3661	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't #ifdef-out simple uses of

3673
36742003-09-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
3675
3676	csplit cleanup.
3677
3678	* doc/coreutils.texi (csplit invocation):
3679	The regexp offset need not have a sign; POSIX requires support
3680	for signless offets.
3681
3682	Be more careful about int widths.  For example, remove some
3683	arbitrary limits by replacing 'unsigned' with 'size_t',
3684	'uintmax_t', etc.  Use standard bool rather than a homegrown type.
3685	* lib/Makefile.am (libfetish_a_SOURCES): Add xstrtoimax.c.
3686	* src/csplit.c (FALSE, TRUE, boolean): Remove.  All uses changed
3687	to <stdbool.h> usage.

3689	repeat_forever is now bool, not int.
3690	(struct cstring): len is now size_t, not unsigned int.

3715	(cleanup): Don't check whether output_stream is NULL, since
3716	close_output_file does that for us.
3717
3718	(new_line_control, create_new_buffer): Use "foo *p = xmalloc
3719	(sizeof *p);" instead of the more long-winded alternatives.
3720
3721	(get_new_buffer): Use O(1) algorithm for resizing a buffer
3722	to a much larger size, instead of an O(N) algorithm.
3723
3724	(process_regexp): Use plain NULL rather than casted 0.
3725
3726	(make_filename): Use %u, not %d, to format unsigned file number.
3727
3728	(new_control_record): Use xrealloc exclusively, since it handles
3729	NULL reliably.
3730
3731	(extract_regexp): Change misspelled word in diagnostic.
3732
3733	(get_format_width): Even if a minimum field width is specified,
3734	allow room for enough octal digits to represent the value of
3735	the maximum representible integer.  This fixes a potential
3736	buffer overrun.  Calculate this room at compile-time, not
3737	at run-time; this removes the need for bytes_to_octal_digits.
3738	Check for overflow; this removes a FIXME.
3739
3740	(get_format_prec): Don't allow precision to be signed; it's
3741	not ANSI.  Check for overflow.  Remove hardcoded "11" as
3742	default precision; this fixes a potential buffer overrun
3743	on hosts with wider size_t.
3744
3745	(get_format_conv_type): Change local variable to be of type
3746	unsigned char, not int; this removes a potential subscript
3747	violation on hosts where char is signed.
3748
3749	(max_out): Replace "for (;*p;)" with more-standard "while (*p)".
3750	Allow "%%" in format.  Don't overflow when
3751	counting lots of percents.
3752
3753	(usage): Default sprintf format is %02u, not %d.
3754

3760
37612003-10-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3762
3763	* src/du.c (du_files): Ignore any failure of fts_close.
3764	Give better diagnostics for failed fts_open.
3765
3766	* src/du.c (MAX_N_DESCRIPTORS): Remove now-unused definition.
3767
3768	Deprecate existing use of -H (aka --si).
3769	* src/du.c (enum) [HUMAN_SI_OPTION]: New member.
3770	[long_options]: Use HUMAN_SI_OPTION, not 'H'.
3771	(main): Warn that the meaning of -H will soon change to be
3772	POSIX compliant.

37742003-10-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

3780	* tests/du/trailing-slash: Adjust for slightly different output.
3781
3782	Rewrite du.c to use fts.

3784	(opt_dereference_arguments, arg_length, suffix_length): Remove globals.
3785	(IS_FTW_DIR_TYPE): Remove definition.
3786	(IS_DIR_TYPE): Define.
3787	(is_symlink_to_dir): Remove now-unnecessary function.
3788	(process_file, du_files): Rewrite to use fts.
3789
3790	* tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Ensure that even when run from an
3791	inaccessible directory, du can still operate on accessible
3792	directories elsewhere.
3793	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible-cwd.
3794
3795	* tests/rm/deep-1: Ensure that du can process a hierarchy
3796	of depth 400 while using no more than 50KB of stack space.
3797
37982003-10-01  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>
3799
3800	* announce-gen (print_news_deltas): New function, extracted from main.
3801	(main): Make `news_file' an array.
3802	Use '...=s' => \@var for --news and --url-directory specs.
3803	Before there were a couple of portability problems.
3804
38052003-09-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3806
3807	* Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): New rule.
3808	(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
3809
3810	* src/copy.c: Remove unnecessary cast of alloca, since now it's
3811	guaranteed to be (void *).
3812	* src/cp.c: Likewise.
3813	* src/join.c: Likewise.
3814	* src/ln.c: Likewise.
3815	* src/ls.c: Likewise.

3818
38192003-09-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3820
3821	Don't exhaust virtual memory when processing large inputs.
3822	Fix this by removing csplit's internal free-list management;
3823	instead rely on malloc for that.
3824
3825	* src/csplit.c (free_list): Remove global.
3826	(clear_all_line_control): Remove function.
3827	(get_new_buffer): Always use create_new_buffer to obtain a
3828	new buffer, rather than searching free_list.
3829	(free_buffer): Just call free.
3830	Reported by Nikola Milutinovic.
3831
38322003-09-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3833
3834	* man/rm.x: Also list `chattr' in SEE ALSO section.
3835	Suggestion from Mark Hubbart.
3836
38372003-09-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3838
3839	* configure.ac: Don't invoke AC_AIX or AC_MINIX explicitly, now
3840	that we use gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, since it AC_REQUIREs them.
3841
3842	* Use autoconf-2.57d.  Regenerate dependent files.
3843
38442003-09-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3845
3846	Minor efficiency tweak.
3847	* src/ln.c (PATH_BASENAME_CONCAT): Use memcpy rather than strcpy.

3849
38502003-09-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3851
3852	* src/paste.c (paste_serial): Save errno after input error,
3853	to report proper errno value.
3854	Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
3855
3856	* src/tee.c (tee): Adjust fwrite arguments so that the return
3857	value is the number of bytes written.
3858
38592003-09-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
3860
3861	Don't assume ferror sets errno.  Bug reported by Bruno Haible.

3867	* src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
3868
3869	* src/csplit.c (close_output_file): Don't report bogus errno value
3870	after ferror discovers an output error.  We don't know the proper
3871	errno value, since it might have been caused by any of a whole
3872	bunch of calls, and it might have been trashed in the meantime.
3873	Fixing this problem will require much more extensive changes;
3874	in the meantime just say "write error".
3875	* src/od.c (check_and_close, dump, dump_strings): Likewise.
3876	* src/uniq.c (check_file): Likewise.
3877
3878	* src/join.c (get_line): Report error right away if I/O fails,
3879	so that the proper errno value is used.
3880	* src/tac.c (tac_seekable, tac_file, save_stdin): Likewise.
3881	* src/tee.c (tee): Likewise.
3882	* src/uniq.c (check_file): Likewise.
3883
3884	* src/od.c (skip): If a read fails, don't retry it later, so
3885	that we report the proper errno.
3886
3887	* src/tac.c (tac_mem): Don't return a value; nobody uses it.
3888
3889	* src/tee.c (tee): Once a write failure has occurred, don't bother
3890	writing anything more to that stream.
3891
3892	* src/uniq.c (check_file): Check for ferror (stdout) even if
3893	ostream == stdout.
3894
3895	* src/yes.c (UNROLL): Remove.
3896	(main): Exit immediately when write failure is detected.
3897	Simplify code by assigning to argv when argc == 1.
3898
38992003-09-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
3900
3901	* src/ptx.c: Switch encoding from Latin-1 to UTF-8.
3902	(WRITTEN_BY): Change "Franc,ois" (actually using
3903	c-with-cedilla in Latin-1) to "F.", so that it's ASCII, as
3904	xgettext requires.
3905
39062003-09-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3907
3908	`du -D symlink-to-dir' would mistakenly omit the slash in
3909	lines like this: 24	symlink-to-dir/subdir
3910	* src/du.c (process_file): Fix offset calculation.
3911	Reported by Jeff Sheinberg as Debian bug #211591;
3912	http://bugs.debian.org/205251

3916
3917	* src/du.c (process_file): Remove useless disjunct.
3918
3919	* src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Rename parameter, Authors,
3920	to Written_by.
3921	* nearly all src/*.c files (WRITTEN_BY): Rename from AUTHORS.
3922	Begin each WRITTEN_BY string with `Written by ' and end it with `.'.
3923	Mark each WRITTEN_BY string as translatable.

3952	* src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Likewise.

3961	Reported by Dániel Varga.
3962
39632003-09-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3964
3965	* Use automake-1.7.7.  Regenerate dependent files.
3966
3967	* tests/Makefile.am (all_programs): Use ../src/tr -s ' ' '\n' in place
3968	of `fmt -1'.  Using the just-built tr is a little cleaner.
3969	Christian Krackowizer reported that HPUX 10.20 doesn't have fmt.
3970	* man/Makefile.am (programs, check-x-vs-1): Likewise.
3971
39722003-09-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3973
3974	* src/copy.c: Alphabetize includes.

3976
39772003-09-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3978
3979	* Makefile.maint (GZIP_ENV): Remove --rsyncable.
3980	Didn't give enough of a benefit, mainly because it's not yet
3981	in wide enough use.
3982
3983	* Version 5.0.91.
3984
3985	* man/Makefile.am (programs): Use ../src, not $(srcdir)/../src.
3986	(check-programs-vs-x): Fail if $(programs) is empty.
3987

3991
3992	* src/remove.c (D_INO, ENABLE_CYCLE_CHECK) [D_INO_IN_DIRENT]:
3993	Don't define.  These symbols are no longer used.
3994
3995	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Write ^D as \cD.
3996	Complete the change of 2003-08-02.
3997
3998	* Makefile.maint (po-check): Use cvsu, so that a temporary source
3999	file in lib/ or src/ doesn't induce an unwarranted failure.
4000	Add a kludge to filter out the sole generated source file that
4001	also has translatable messages: src/false.c.
4002
40032003-09-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4004
4005	* src/tail.c (enum): Add ALLOW_MISSING_OPTION.
4006	(parse_options): Give a diagnostic for (but still accept) the
4007	deprecated --allow-missing option.
4008
40092003-09-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4010
4011	Don't ignore -S if input is a pipe.  Bug report by Michael McFarland in
4012	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-09/msg00008.html>.
4013
4014	* src/sort.c (sort_buffer_size): Omit SIZE_BOUND arg.  Compute the
4015	size_bound ourselves. if an input file is a pipe and the user
4016	specified a size, use that size instead of trying to guess the
4017	pipe size.  This has the beneficial side effect of avoiding the
4018	overhead of default_sort_size in that case.  All callers changed.
4019	(sort): Remove static var size; now done by sort_buffer_size.
4020
40212003-09-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4022
4023	* Use automake-1.7.6b and autoconf-2.57b.  Regenerate dependent files.
4024
4025	* tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: Wait .5 seconds for backgrounded process
4026	to start, rather than just .1.  Upon failure, print unexpected state.
4027
40282003-09-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4029
4030	* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe): Don't assign 0 or
4031	SAFE_READ_ERROR to tmp->nbytes.
4032	* src/tail.c (pipe_lines, pipe_bytes): Likewise.
4033
4034	* src/head.c (struct linebuffer): Change nbytes and nlines
4035	from unsigned int to size_t.  unsigned int is safe (after the
4036	2003-09-03 patch) but size_t is cleaner.
4037	* src/tail.c (struct linebuffer, struct charbuffer): Likewise.
4038	(pipe_bytes): Likewise for local variable 'i', which was 'int'.
4039
4040	Standardize on BUFSIZ as opposed to other macro names and values.
4041	* src/head.c (BUFSIZE): Remove.  All uses changed to BUFSIZ.
4042	* src/tail.c (BUFSIZ) [!defined BUFSIZ]: Remove.
4043	stdio.h has always defined it,
4044	and other code already assumes it's defined.
4045	* src/tr.c (BUFSIZ) [!defined BUFSIZ]: Likewise.
4046	(IO_BUF_SIZE): Remove; replace all uses with sizeof io_buf.
4047	(io_buf): IO_BUF_SIZE -> BUFSIZ.
4048
40492003-09-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4050
4051	* src/seq.c (step): Default to 1.
4052	(print_numbers): Allow the output to be empty.
4053	(main): The default step is 1, even if LAST < FIRST;
4054	as per documentation.
4055	* tests/seq/basic (onearg-2): Output should be empty.
4056
40572003-09-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4058
4059	* Makefile.cfg (wget_files): Temporarily disable, until master
4060	versions are restored to ftp.gnu.org.
4061
4062	* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Specify automake-1.7.6.
4063
4064	Make seq's --width (-w) option work properly even when the
4065	endpoint requiring the larger width is negative and smaller than
4066	the other endpoint.
4067	* src/seq.c (get_width_format): Include `-' in the set of bytes
4068	allowed in a `simple' number (no decimal point, no exponent).
4069	Reported by Patrick Mauritz.
4070
40712003-09-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4072
4073	* NEWS: sort -t '\0' now uses a NUL tab.
4074	sort option order no longer matters, unless POSIX requires it.
4075	* src/sort.c (usage): Say "blanks" instead of "whitespace",
4076	Similar fixes for many comments.
4077	(TAB_DEFAULT): New constant, so that we can support NUL as
4078	the field separator.
4079	(tab): Now int, not char.  Initialize to TAB_DEFAULT.
4080	(specify_sort_size): If multiple sizes are specified, use the largest.
4081	(begfield, limfield): Support NUL tab char.
4082	(set_ordering): Do not let -i override -d.
4083	(main): Report an error if incompatible -o or -t options are given.
4084	Report an error for "-t ''".  Allow "-t '\0'" to specify a NUL tab.
4085
40862003-09-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4087
4088	* tests/sort/Test.pm [o2, nul-tab]: New tests for the above.

4093	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-09/msg00009.html>
4094	* src/tail.c (pipe_lines): Don't truncate return value from safe_read.

4096
40972003-09-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4098
4099	* src/du.c (AUTHORS): Remove Larry McVoy's name, since the relatively
4100	small amount of code from him was first moved to lib/human.c, and was
4101	subsequently rewritten entirely.
4102	* src/df.c (AUTHORS): Likewise.
4103
41042003-08-22  Lawrence Teo  <lcteo@uncc.edu>
4105
4106	* src/md5sum.c (split_3): Accept the BSD format for generic
4107	message digest modes.  Currently works with BSD's MD5 and SHA1
4108	formats since these are the two algorithms presently used in
4109	coreutils.  Updated comments to reflect this change.
4110	(bsd_split_3): Updated comments.
4111
4112	* tests/md5sum/basic-1: New test to make sure that
4113	`md5sum --check' doesn't accept the BSD SHA1 format (adapted
4114	from `check-bsd' test in tests/sha1sum/basic-1).
4115
4116	* tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (check-bsd2, check-bsd3): New tests for
4117	--check exit status and BSD SHA1 format (adapted from tests
4118	in tests/md5sum/basic-1).
4119
41202003-08-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4121
4122	* src/ln.c (do_link): Use SAME_INODE rather than open-coding it.
4123
4124	When source and destination arguments refer to the same file, reside
4125	on a partition (e.g. VFAT) on which distinct names may refer to the
4126	same directory entry (often due to variations in case), and when the
4127	link count for the file is 1, mv no longer unlinks the file.  Instead,
4128	it gives the expected diagnostic that the source and destination are
4129	the same.  WARNING: this is an incomplete fix.  If the file happens
4130	to have a link count of 2 or greater, such an erroneous mv command
4131	will still unlink it.
4132	Although that is not possible on vfat or umsdos, it is possible on
4133	other file system types, e.g., ntfs, and hpfs.
4134	* src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Invoke same_name (which might still
4135	return false for names that refer to the same directory entry)
4136	only if the link count is 2 or more.
4137	* tests/mv/vfat: Show how to demonstrate the above problem.
4138	This test is not run.
4139	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add vfat.

41412003-08-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4142
4143	* src/who.c: Change meaning of -l from --lookup to --login, per POSIX.
4144	who's -l option has been eliciting an unconditional warning about
4145	this impending change since sh-utils-2.0.12 (April 2002).
4146
4147	* src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Don't output `EOF' (aka -1) as a `char'.
4148	This would happen for nonempty files not ending with a newline.
4149	Reported by Dan Jacobson.
4150	* tests/misc/paste-no-nl: New file.  Test for above-fixed bug.
4151	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add paste-no-nl.
4152
4153	* src/stat.c (print_it): Avoid buffer overrun that would
4154	occur when the user-specified format string ends with `%'.
4155	Patch by Tommi Kyntola.
4156	* tests/misc/stat-fmt: New file.  Test for above-fixed bug.
4157	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-fmt.
4158
41592003-08-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4160
4161	Apply changes from bison.
4162	* GNUmakefile (SHELL): Define to `sh', if necessary.
4163	Add copyright.
4164	* Makefile.maint (WGETFLAGS): Define to `-C off'.
4165	Update all uses of $(WGET).
4166
41672003-08-22  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>
4168
4169	* Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): New.
4170	* Makefile.maint (local-check): Rename as...
4171	(local-checks-available): this.
4172	(local-check): New.
4173
41742003-08-26  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>
4175
4176	* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): Neutralize "<#" as
4177	"<\#" to avoid magic from Gnus when posting parts of this script.
4178
41792003-08-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4180
4181	* src/stat.c (main): Warn about use of deprecated `-l' option.
4182
41832003-08-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4184
4185	* src/stat.c (do_stat): For link count at end of line, use %h format,
4186	instead of %-5h.  The latter would make stat emit trailing spaces.
4187	Reported by Dan Jacobson.
4188
41892003-08-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4190
4191	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_space_tab .x-sc_sun_os_names
4192
41932003-08-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4194
4195	* src/system.h: Include stdlib.h unconditionally,
4196	as we're now assuming that part of hosted C89.
4197
41982003-08-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4199
4200	* src/sys2.h (textdomain, bindtextdomain) [! ENABLE_NLS]: Define away,
4201	to avoid warnings from gcc.
4202
42032003-08-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4204
4205	Avoid unnecessary and sometimes time-consuming hostname lookups.
4206	* src/who.c (print_user): Use strchr, not strrchr.
4207	* src/pinky.c (print_entry): Likewise.
4208	Patch by Michael Stone.
4209	This fixes a typo I introduced in who-users.c on 1996-02-23.
4210
4211	* Makefile.maint (makefile-check): Add 0-9 to the range of characters
4212	disallowed between `@...@'.
4213
42142003-08-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4215
4216	* configure.ac (fu_cv_sys_truncating_statfs): Remove; now
4217	done by gnulib .m4 files.
4218	(jm_DUMMY_1): Require gl_READUTMP, not jm_PREREQ_READUTMP.
4219	* src/sys2.h (strtoull): Remove unused declaration.
4220
42212003-08-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4222
4223	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Ensure that generated PROGRAM.1 files
4224	are read-only.
4225
4226	* src/tail.c (tail_lines): Fix a potential (but very hard to exercise)
4227	race condition bug.  The bug would be triggered when tailing a file
4228	with file pointer not at beginning of file, and where the file was
4229	truncated to have a length of less than the initial offset at just
4230	the right moment (between the two lseek calls in this function).
4231
4232	An invalid initial value for *read_pos would result in
4233	`tail -n0 -f FILE' and `tail -c0 -f FILE' doing what amounted to a
4234	busy-wait rather than sleeping between iterations.  The bug manifests
4235	itself only when tailing regular files that are initially nonempty.
4236	* src/tail.c (tail_bytes): Set *read_pos to new file offset after
4237	each xlseek call.
4238	(tail_lines): Likewise, after lseek calls.
4239	Reported by Nick Estes.  See http://bugs.debian.org/205251 for details.
4240	* tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: New file.  Test for above fix.
4241	* tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tail-n0f.
4242
42432003-08-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4244
4245	* Makefile.maint (sc_space_tab): Use exclusion list in separate file.
4246	(sc_sun_os_names): Likewise.
4247	* .x-sc_space_tab, .x-sc_sun_os_names: New files.
4248
4249	* man/help2man: Remove some SPACEs before TAB.
4250
42512003-08-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4252
4253	* Makefile.maint (LC_ALL): Set to C.
4254	* man/Makefile.am (ASSORT): New var.
4255	(check-x-vs-1, programs): Use it.
4256	* src/Makefile.am (ASSORT, check-README, ../AUTHORS): Likewise.
4257	* tests/Makefile.am (ASSORT, all_programs): Likewise.
4258
42592003-08-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4260
4261	fold -s -wN would infloop for N < 8 with TABs in the input.
4262	E.g., this would not terminate: printf 'a\tb' | fold -w2 -s
4263	* src/fold.c (fold_file): Move contents of `else'-block
4264	out of conditional so it's used also for --spaces (-s).
4265	* tests/misc/fold: Test for the above fix.
4266	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fold.
4267
42682003-08-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4269
4270	* src/nice.c [!NICE_PRIORITY]: Include <sys/resource.h> after
4271	system.h so the types from time.h and sys/time.h are available.
4272	It appears that this is necessary for OpenBSD, NetBSD, and
4273	Darwin 6.5 (MacOS 10.2.5).  Reported by Nelson Beebe.
4274
42752003-08-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4276
4277	* NEWS: Add support for setting file timestamps to microsecond
4278	resolution, on hosts that support this.
4279	* src/copy.c, src/cp.c, src/install.c, src/touch.c: Include utimens.h.
4280	* src/copy.c (copy_internal):
4281	Set file timestamps with utimens, not utime.
4282	* src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
4283	* src/install.c (change_timestamps): Likewise.
4284	* src/touch.c (newtime, touch, main): Likewise.
4285
42862003-08-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4287
4288	* Makefile.maint (sc_sun_os_names): New rule based on a regexp
4289	from Paul Eggert.
4290	(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
4291
4292	* src/tail.c (main): Tweak Solaris OS version number in comment.
4293	* src/wc.c (wc): Likewise
4294	* tests/tail-2/fflush: Likewise.
4295
4296	* src/tail.c: Add new undocumented option, --presume-input-pipe.
4297	(pipe_lines): Use memchr to skip lines, rather than an explicit loop.
4298
42992003-08-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4300
4301	Use new gnulib 'extensions' module.
4302	* configure.ac: Invoke gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS instead of
4303	AC_GNU_SOURCE.
4304
43052003-08-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4306
4307	* tests/du/basic: Ensure that a/b/F has at least 65 bytes too.
4308
43092003-08-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4310
4311	* tests/misc/split-fail: Reflect that `split -a 0' is now accepted.
4312	For tests of obsolete behavior, don't presume that unsetting
4313	_POSIX2_VERSION is equivalent to _POSIX2_VERSION=199209.
4314
43152003-08-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4316
4317	* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation):
4318	Add -d or --numeric-suffixes option to 'split'.
4319	From a suggestion by Jesse Kornblum.
4320	* src/split.c (suffix_alphabet): New var.
4321	(longopts, usage, next_file_name, main): Support -d.
4322	(next_file_name, main): Allow -a0, as POSIX requires.
4323	(next_file_name): Don't assume ASCII-like encoding;
4324	'a' through 'z' are not contiguous in EBCDIC.
4325
43262003-08-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4327
4328	Merge getline from gnulib.
4329	* lib/getline.h, lib/getline.c, m4/getline.m4: Merge from gnulib.
4330	* lib/getndelim2.h, lib/getndelim2.c, m4/getndelim2.m4, m4/ssize_t.m4:
4331	New files, from gnulib.
4332	* lib/getdelim2.c, lib/getdelim2.h: Remove.
4333	* lib/Makefile.am (libfetish_a_SOURCES): Change getdelim2.c and
4334	getdelim2.h to getndelim2.c and getndelim2.h.
4335	* m4/jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Use gl_GETNDELIM2 rather than
4336	checking for getdelim.
4337	(jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Use gt_TYPE_SSIZE_T for ssize_t rather
4338	than rolling our own.
4339	* src/cut.c: Include getndelim2.h rather than getdelim2.h.
4340	(cut_fields): Invoke getndelim2 rather than getdelim2.
4341
43422003-08-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4343
4344	* src/sort.c (main): Use unsigned int instead of int for `nsigs'
4345	and for the indices to iterate through nsigs.
4346
43472003-08-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4348
4349	* src/sort.c: Minor code cleanups, mostly to use more accurate
4350	types and to remove unnecessary casts.
4351	(min, max): Remove.  All uses changed to MIN and MAX.
4352	(hard_lc_collate, hard_LC_TIME, struct buffer.eof, struct
4353	keyfield.skipsblanks, struct keyfield.skipeblanks, struct
4354	keyfield.numeric, struct keyfield.general_numeric, struct
4355	keyfield.month, struct keyfield.reverse, reverse, unique,
4356	have_read_stdin): Now bool, not int.  All uses changed.
4357	(eolchar): Now char, not int.
4358	(struct keyfield.ignore): Now bool const *, not int *.
4359	(struct keyfield.translate): Now char const *, not char *.
4360	(struct month.name): Likewise.
4361	(blanks, nonprinting, nondictionary): Now bool[], not int[].
4362	(cleanup, inittables, keycompare, check, mergefps, first_same_file,
4363	check, sort, main): Use const * pointers when possible.
4364	(month_cmp): Rewrite to avoid casts.
4365	(inittables): Initialize tables unconditionally, to avoid branches.
4366	(fillbuf): Return bool, not int.  All uses changed.
4367	(fillbuf, keycompare, new_key, main):
4368	Use SIZE_MAX rather than (size_t) -1.
4369	(trailing_blanks): Renamed from trim_trailing_blanks.
4370	Return the number of blanks to trim.  All uses changed.
4371	(getmonth): Use trailing_blanks rather than open code.
4372	(keycompare): Do not cast char * to unsigned char *; not needed.
4373	CMP_WITH_IGNORE converts args to UCHAR, so no need to convert it
4374	ourselves.
4375	(compare, main): Use | rather than || to avoid jumps.
4376	Replace "diff = NONZERO (alen)" with "diff = 1", since alen must
4377	be nonzero there.
4378	(check, first_same_file, sort, main):
4379	Use bool instead of int local vars when possible.
4380	(check): Merge the old 'checkfp' and 'check' into a single function,
4381	that returns a boolean (true if the file was ordered).
4382	All uses changed.
4383	(main): Use int instead of unsigned for iterating through nsigs.
4384	Rename local var "posix_pedantic" to "posixly_correct".
4385
43862003-08-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4387
4388	* src/nice.c [!NICE_PRIORITY]: Include <time.h> before <sys/resource.h>
4389	to avoid compilation error on Ultrix. Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
4390
4391	* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Don't read again after encountering an
4392	initial EOF.  E.g., `cut -f2' would do so.
4393	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Add a test for the above fix.
4394
4395	* src/sort.c (sortlines): Add description and references.
4396	From Paul Eggert.
4397
4398	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set PATH so that
4399	the tests in help-version will use the just-built binaries.
4400	Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
4401
44022003-07-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4403

4406	of date): Likewise.
4407	* src/date.c (long_options, usage, main): Likewise.
4408	* doc/getdate.texi (General date syntax): Likewise.
4409	* doc/coreutils.texi (Options for date): Fix a typo in format:
4410	it's now %d not %_d.  Add URLs.
4411
44122003-08-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4413
4414	* tests/shred/remove: Ensure that $? is 0 for the final `exit 0'.
4415	Otherwise, with at least the /bin/sh from HPUX 10.20,
4416	the trap code would end up converting that to exit 1 and thus an
4417	unexpected test failure.  Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
4418
44192003-07-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4420
4421	* src/ptx.c: Do not include bumpalloc.h.
4422	(WORD_TABLE): New member alloc.
4423	(ALLOC_NEW_WORD): Remove.
4424	(occurs_alloc): New var.
4425	(digest_word_file, find_occurs_in_text): Check for arithmetic
4426	overflow when computing table size.  Use xrealloc rather than
4427	bumpalloc primitives.
4428
44292003-07-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4430
4431	* Version 5.0.90.
4432
4433	* README: When running tests as root, suggest using
4434	sudo with NON_ROOT_USERNAME=$USER.
4435
4436	* tests/Makefile.am (all_programs): Makefile is in ../src, not
4437	$(srcdir)/../src.
4438
44392003-07-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4440
4441	* Makefile.maint (GZIP_ENV): Try Debian/gzip's new --rsyncable option.
4442
44432003-07-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4444
4445	* lib/stdbool.hin (_Bool): Make it signed char, instead of
4446	an enum type, so that it's guaranteed to promote to int.
4447	* src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Undo previous change.
4448
44492003-07-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4450
4451	* src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Declare local `swap' to be `int', not
4452	`bool'.  Otherwise, at least one buggy compiler (alpha gcc-2.95.4)
4453	would cause lines[-1 - swap] (with swap = false) to evaluate to
4454	lines[4294967295].
4455
44562003-07-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4457
4458	* tests/priv-check (my_uid): Use `!', not `^' in case pattern `[!0-9]',
4459	since /bin/sh of at least NetBSD 1.6 and OpenBSD 3.2 don't accept `^'.
4460
4461	* src/remove.c (prompt) [! recursive]: Don't prompt about unwritable
4462	directories, as required by POSIX.   Reported by Karl Berry.
4463	* tests/rm/dir-no-w: New file.  Test for the above fix.
4464	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-no-w.
4465
4466	* tests/mk-script: Emit `$xx', not its expansion.
4467
44682003-07-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4469
4470	This change was inspired by a similar proposal by Stepan Kasal.
4471	* src/sort.c (mergelines, sortlines_temp): New functions.
4472	(sortlines): Use them, to reduce the number of times that
4473	we need to copy 'struct line' values.  This improved CPU
4474	performance by about 30% on one 18 MB test.
4475	(sort): Don't invoke sortlines unless we have 2 or more lines.
4476
44772003-07-26  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
4478
4479	* src/sort.c (sort): Don't require two `struct line's per text line,
4480	the new sort algorithm requires just 1.5.
4481
44822003-07-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4483
4484	* src/pathchk.c (validate_path): Use %lu, not %ld.
4485	From Paul Eggert.
4486	* src/cut.c (is_printable_field): Simplify bit arithmetic.
4487	From Paul Eggert.
4488	* src/ls.c (sort_files): Put `volatile' in the right place.
4489	From Paul Eggert.
4490
44912003-07-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4492
4493	Use only one bit per field/offset in array, not one `int'.
4494	* src/cut.c (printable_field): Change type to `unsigned char'.
4495	(mark_printable_field, is_printable_field): New functions.
4496	Use them in place of all direct accesses of `printable_field'.
4497
4498	* src/expand.c (parse_tabstops): Detect overflow properly.
4499	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Likewise.
4500
4501	* src/rm.c: Include "dirname.h".
4502	(usage): Use base_name (program_name) in body of --help output.
4503	This lets me...
4504	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): ...back out the kludge of 2003-07-22.
4505	Idea from Brendan O'Dea, who suggested using
4506	`program_name = basename (argv[0]);' everywhere --
4507	can't do that, but using base_name works just fine here.
4508
4509	* src/Makefile.am (AM_INSTALLCHECK_STD_OPTIONS_EXEMPT): Exempt test.
4510
45112003-07-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4512
4513	Fix some POSIX-compliance problems with 'test'.  This makes
4514	'test' more compatible with Bash.
4515
4516	* NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi: Document the following.
4517	* src/test.c: Include exitfail.h.
4518	(TEST_FAILURE): New constant, used for exit status if 'test' fails.
4519	(test-syntax_error): Use it.
4520	(binary_operator): Now takes bool arg specifying whether left operand
4521	is -l ARG, so that caller determines this rather than us.
4522	All uses changed.
4523	(term): Use posixtest to evaluate parenthesized subexpressions.
4524	(unary_operator, one_argument): Remove support for -t without operand.
4525	(one_argument): Take argument from argv[pos].
4526	(one_argument, two_arguments, three_arguments): Advance pos.
4527	All callers changed.
4528	(three_arguments): Look for binary ops before "!".  Then look
4529	for parenthesized one_argument expressions, instead of trusting
4530	expr () to do the right thing.
4531	(posixtest): Now takes number of args.  All callers changed.
4532	Treat "( A B )" like "A B".
4533	(main): Set exit_failure to TEST_FAILURE.  Don't depend on
4534	POSIXLY_CORRECT, as we now conform to POSIX by default.
4535	(main) [!LBRACKET]: Do not recognize "--help" or "--verbose" unless.
4536	* tests/test/Test.pm (test_vector): Add several tests to check
4537	the above.  Syntax errors now exit with status 2, not 1.
4538	* man/Makefile.am (mapped_name): Use `../src/[' binary to create test.1.
4539
45402003-07-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4541
4542	* tests/help-version: Adjust for above change in test behavior:
4543	`[' exits with 2, not 1, and test doesn't accept --help or --version.
4544
4545	* Makefile.maint (ME): Don't use trick suggested in Make manual.
4546	It doesn't work for make-3.79.1.  Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
4547
4548	* Makefile.maint (sc_system_h_headers): Another syntax check.
4549	(syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
4550
4551	* src/pathchk.c (validate_path): Cast strlen value to `unsigned long'
4552	so it matches `%ld' format even on 32-bit systems.
4553
4554	* src/fmt.c (flush_paragraph): Cast field width to `int' to
4555	avoid warning on 64-bit systems.
4556
4557	* src/ls.c (sort_files): Make `func' volatile, so it can't be
4558	clobbered by a `longjmp' into this function.
4559
45602003-07-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4561
4562	* src/pathchk.c (validate_path): Use %ld format (not %d) for size_t
4563	value.
4564
4565	* tests/misc/split-fail: Disable the --line-bytes=$_4gb test,
4566	because it'd evoke spurious failure on 64-bit systems.
4567
45682003-07-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4569
4570	* src/dd.c (usage): Document the fact that SIGUSR1 makes dd
4571	output its current record counts.  Reported by Jurriaan.
4572
4573	* tests/wc/Test.pm (test_vector): Disable the `PIPE' tests when running
4574	`wc' with no options.  This goes along with the change of 2003-07-20.
4575
45762003-07-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4577
4578	Don't include headers already included by system.h:
4579	* src/tr.c: Don't include errno.h.
4580	* src/true.c: Don't include version-etc.h.
4581	* src/test.c: Don't include limits.h or error.h.
4582	* src/stat.c: Don't include unistd.h or time.h.

4597	Don't include closeout.h.
4598
4599	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Add a check for whether $NON_ROOT_USERNAME
4600	can access the required version of rm.
4601	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define PACKAGE_VERSION.
4602
4603	* tests/cut/Test.pm (out-delim3a): New test.
4604
4605	* man/help2man: Update to version 1.33.
4606
4607	* src/expand.c (parse_tabstops): Detect overflow in tabstop sizes.
4608
4609	* src/dircolors.c: Include xstrndup.h.
4610	(xstrndup): Remove function, now that it's been factored out into
4611	it's own file.
4612
46132003-07-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4614
4615	* src/wc.c (wc): Fix typo in computation of file from file_x,
4616	which caused the former to be used uninitialized if file_x was
4617	nonzero.
4618
46192003-07-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4620
4621	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Use xcalloc in place of xmalloc+memset.
4622
4623	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Substitute 's,$t/$*,$*,' on output of
4624	help2man, to avoid having `rm.td/rm' appear in rm.1.  Reported by
4625	Thomas Luzat.  See http://bugs.debian.org/202413 for details.
4626
4627	* src/cut.c (main) [lint]: Initialize spec_list_string to avoid warning.
4628
4629	* src/hostid.c: Don't include <unistd.h>.  system.h already does that.
4630
4631	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Mark all selected indices before trying to
4632	determine range endpoints.
4633	* tests/cut/Test.pm: New test for the above fix.
4634
4635	Begin to address this comment: What if someone wants to
4636	extract the 1,000,000-th field of some huge input file?
4637	The first step is to rearrange things so that the values
4638	in the printable_field array are all 0/1 rather than 0/1/2.
4639	* src/cut.c (RANGE_START_SENTINEL): Remove.
4640	Store range-start indices in a hash table, rather than
4641	overloading the `printable_field' array.
4642	(range_start_ht): New global.
4643	(hash_int, hash_compare_ints, is_range_start_index): New functions.
4644	(print_kth): Use is_range_start_index; don't test printable_field.
4645	(set_fields): Detect overflow.
4646	(set_fields): Insert each range-start index into range_start_ht.
4647	(main): Call set_fields only once, and only after
4648	output_delimiter_specified and (if required) range_start_ht have
4649	been defined.
4650
46512003-07-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4652
4653	* src/wc.c (get_input_fstatus): Fix typo: `stat' was being
4654	invoked with a null pointer when there were no file arguments.
4655
46562003-07-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4657
4658	* Makefile.maint (sc_changelog): Add another nit-picky check.
4659
4660	* src/wc.c (write_counts): Add a comment.
4661	(wc): Rename `file' parameter.
4662	Set new local, `file', to be the file name, or (when it's NULL)
4663	_("standard output") so that all uses of `file' use the proper value.
4664	Use STREQ, not strcmp.
4665
46662003-07-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4667
4668	wc count field widths now are heuristically adjusted depending
4669	on the input size, if known.  If only one count is printed, it
4670	is guaranteed to be printed without leading spaces.
4671
4672	Previously, wc did not align the count fields if
4673	POSIXLY_CORRECT was set, but POSIX did not actually require
4674	this undesirable behavior, so it has been removed.
4675
4676	* NEWS: Document this.
4677	* doc/coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Likewise.
4678
4679	* src/wc.c (number_width): New var.
4680	(posixly_correct): Remove.
4681	(struct fstatus): New struct.
4682	(write_counts): Output fields of width number_width.
4683	Do not worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT.
4684	Use null file, not empty-string file, to denote stdin,
4685	since "" is a valid file name on some hosts.
4686	(wc, wc_file): New arg fstatus.  Use it to avoid invoking fstat
4687	if possible.
4688	(wc):  Avoid problems if end_pos - current_pos overflows.
4689	Do not print odd message if stdin has a read error.
4690	(get_input_fstatus, compute_number_width): New functions.
4691	(main): Use them to implement the new behavior.
4692	Ignore POSIXLY_CORRECT.
4693
4694	* tests/wc/Test.pm: Adjust to the new output widths.
4695
46962003-07-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4697
4698	* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Don't create temporary directory --
4699	we don't use it.
4700
4701	* tests/shred/remove: Don't open-code test for UID != 0.
4702	Use priv-check's require-non-root instead.
4703	Update to use newer framework.
4704
4705	* tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_expr): Record that
4706	expr exits with status of 3 for e.g., a write error.
4707
4708	* tests/priv-check: Use `id -u' to see if we're running as root,
4709	rather than trying go write to an write-protected file.
4710	When running as root, ensure $NON_ROOT_USERNAME is valid.
4711	When running as root with `require-non-root', ensure that `.'
4712	is writable by $NON_ROOT_USERNAME, then reinvoke $0 set-user-ID
4713	to $NON_ROOT_USERNAME.  If `.' is not writable, then skip the test.
4714
4715	* src/printenv.c: Include "exitfail.h".
4716	(main): Set exit_failure rather than calling close_stdout_set_status.
4717	* src/date.c: Likewise.
4718	* src/sort.c: Likewise.
4719	* src/tty.c: Likewise.
4720
47212003-07-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4722
4723	* tests/touch/not-owner: Update to use newer framework.
4724
4725	* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use $srcdir/../priv-check, create a temporary
4726	directory, and remove Perl-coded `you may not run as root' test.
4727	* tests/cp/fail-perm: Use $srcdir/../priv-check, rather than
4728	hard-coding something not quite equivalent.
4729	Paul Jarc reported the inconsistent diagnostics.
4730
4731	* src/sort.c (main): Use close_stdout via atexit.
4732	Now `sort --version' and `sort --help' fail, as they should
4733	when their output is redirected to /dev/full.
4734
4735	* src/su.c (usage): Don't call close_stdout here.
4736	(main): Use close_stdout via atexit.
4737	Now `su --version > /dev/full' fails, as it should.
4738	Somehow, the change of 2000-05-07 that purports to fix this
4739	was not checked in.
4740
4741	* tests/help-version (--help/--version vs. /dev/full): Special-case
4742	`[' to protect it from expected_failure_status-`eval'.
4743
4744	* src/uniq.c (writeline): Use a SPACE, not a TAB between the
4745	count and the corresponding line, as required by POSIX.
4746	Reported by Clement Wang.
4747	* tests/uniq/Test.pm (101, 102): Update tests of -c accordingly.
4748
4749	* tests/expr/basic: Add tests for when exit status is 2.
4750
4751	* src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE, NOHUP_FAILURE):
4752	Use an anonymous `enum', rather than #define.
4753
47542003-07-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
4755
4756	* src/expr.c: Include "exitfail.h", "quotearg.h".
4757	(EXPR_INVALID, EXPR_ERROR): New constants.
4758	(nomoreargs, null, toarith, nextarg): Return bool, not int.
4759	(syntax_error): New function, exiting with status 2.  Use it
4760	insteading of printing "syntax error" ourselves.
4761	(main): Initialize exit_failure to EXPR_ERROR.
4762	Exit with EXPR_INVALID on syntax error (too few arguments).
4763	(nextarg): Use strcmp, not strcoll; strcoll might return
4764	an undesirable 0, or might fail.
4765	(docolon, eval4, eval3): Exit with status 3 on invalid argument type
4766	or other such error.
4767	(eval2): Report an error if strcoll fails in a string comparison.
4768	* src/sort.c: Include "exitfail.h".
4769	(main): Set exit_failure, not xalloc_exit_failure and
4770	xmemcoll_exit_failure.
4771	* tests/expr/basic: Invalid value exits with status 3, not 2.
4772
47732003-07-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4774
4775	* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Use 5.0.90 as the version, rather than 5.0.2,
4776	per GNU maintainer guidelines.  The next non-beta release will be 5.1.
4777
4778	This script would have caught at least two recent bugs:
4779	those in [ and kill.
4780	* tests/help-version: Revive this script.
4781	It wasn't doing anything useful, since $all_programs wasn't being
4782	defined by the invoking Makefile.am.
4783	Reflect that nohup is no longer a script, so don't exclude it.
4784	Add framework to handle the programs added since it was last run:
4785	kill, stat, unlink, [, link, readlink.
4786	Fix path-related problems deriving from the move of this script
4787	from src/ to its present location.
4788	* tests/Makefile.am (all_programs): Define.
4789	(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use it.
4790
4791	* src/kill.c (main): Fix bug introduced on 2003-05-10 (for 5.0.1)
4792	whereby kill would always attempt to operate on argv[0] and fail.
4793
4794	* src/test.c (integer_expected_error): Improve diagnostic -- now,
4795	it also matches the one from bash's builtin test.
4796	(binary_operator): Add \n at end of diagnostic.
4797
4798	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Remove setuidgid-related code.  Move it to ...
4799	* tests/priv-check: Move setuidgid-related and
4800	NON_ROOT_USERNAME-checking code to this file.
4801
4802	* README: Update section on testing as `root'.
4803	Suggestion from Paul Jarc.
4804
4805	* src/test.c (AUTHORS): Replace 3-letter usernames with the actual
4806	names of authors that I just found in bash's builtins/test.def.
4807
4808	Running `[' with no arguments would evoke a segfault.
4809	* src/test.c (main) [LBRACKET]: Move initialization of argv to
4810	precede potential use via test_syntax_error.
4811
4812	* src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Rename from `INCLUDES', to avoid
4813	warning from automake -Wall.
4814
48152003-07-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4816
4817	* Version 5.0.1.
4818
4819	* Makefile.maint (%.asc): Remove target first, so gpg doesn't
4820	prompt us about it.
4821
4822	* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): Relax tests for matching
4823	version-number line in NEWS.
4824	Change the .sig suffix to .asc here, too.
4825
48262003-07-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4827
4828	* Makefile.maint (%.asc): Renamed from %.sig.
4829	Generate and use ascii-armored signatures.
4830	Use gpg's -o option.
4831
48322003-07-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4833
4834	* src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FAILURE, NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE): Define.
4835	(main): Use them.
4836
4837	* Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Move each individual check into
4838	its own target.
4839	(syntax-check-rules): This is the list of syntax-check targets.
4840	(sc_unmarked_diagnostics, sc_cast_of_argument_to_free):
4841	(sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value, sc_space_tab):
4842	(sc_error_exit_success, sc_xalloc_h_in_src):  New targets.
4843
48442003-07-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4845
4846	* configure.ac: Remove uses of OPTIONAL_BIN_ZCRIPTS and last
4847	traces of the nohup script.
4848
4849	* src/Makefile.am (bin_SCRIPTS): Remove use of just-removed
4850	$(OPTIONAL_BIN_ZCRIPTS).
4851
4852	* src/Makefile.am (localedir.h): Put the `2>&1' after the redirect
4853	target, not before the `>'.
4854
4855	* src/remove.c (remove_dir): Give a diagnostic upon failed save_cwd,
4856	now that that function no longer calls `error'.
4857
4858	* src/df.c (find_mount_point): Emit a diagnostic for each
4859	failed syscall, rather than relying on caller to do that.
4860	The caller couldn't do a good job, anyhow -- too many different
4861	ways to fail (each with a different referent).
4862	Give a diagnostic upon failed save_cwd, now that that function
4863	no longer calls `error'.
4864	(show_point): Don't diagnose find_mount_point's errors, now that
4865	it handles them itself.
4866
4867	* src/df.c (find_mount_point): Don't let free clobber errno upon
4868	failed chdir.
4869
4870	* src/sys2.h: Remove alloca-related block.
4871	* src/system.h: Include <alloca.h> here, instead.
4872
4873	It appears that the `#pragma alloca' included via "system.h" is
4874	adequate, since join.c uses alloca, yet lacked an in-file #pragma.
4875	* src/copy.c, src/cp.c, src/df.c, src/install.c, src/ln.c:
4876	* src/ls.c, src/mv.c, src/remove.c: Remove `#pragma alloca'.
4877
4878	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Do not restore any special
4879	permission bits (e.g., set-user-ID, set-group-ID) that are reset
4880	by chown(2) on some systems.  Suggestion and insistence :-) from
4881	Michael Stone.
4882
4883	* tests/input-tty: Also check `test -t 1'.
4884	This is necessary on linux-2.4.21.  Otherwise, the stty/basic-1
4885	test would block when run in the background.
4886
48872003-07-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4888
4889	* tests/sample-test: Also fail if cat-to-create-expected-output
4890	fails.  Otherwise, if both `exp' and `out' were to end up empty
4891	because of e.g., a full disk, they would mistakenly compare equal.
4892
4893	* src/nohup.c: New file.  Rewrite of nohup.sh in C.
4894	This solves a portability problem: on at least Solaris systems,
4895	when nohup.sh used the vendor /bin/sh, it would exit with status
4896	of `1' rather than the required 126 or 127 upon failure to exec
4897	the specified program.
4898
4899	* src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_SCRIPTS): Remove definition.
4900	(bin_PROGRAMS): Add nohup.
4901	(EXTRA_DIST): Remove nohup.sh.
4902	(all_programs): Remove use of $(EXTRA_SCRIPTS).
4903	* src/nohup.sh: Remove file.
4904	* man/Makefile.am (nohup.1): Depend on nohup.c, rather than nohup.sh.
4905
4906	* tests/misc/nohup: Tests for the above.
4907	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nohup.
4908
4909	* src/head.c (diagnose_copy_fd_failure): New function, renamed from
4910	the macro, COPY_FD_DIAGNOSE.
4911	(diagnose_copy_fd_failure): Enclose diagnostic in _(...).
4912	(head_file): Likewise.
4913
4914	* src/date.c: Include "quote.h".
4915	(batch_convert): Use the quote function rather than using literal `...'
4916	in a diagnostic.
4917
4918	* src/setuidgid.c (main): Enclose diagnostic in _(...).
4919	* src/fmt.c (main): Likewise.
4920	* src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
4921	* src/tac.c (tac_seekable): Likewise.
4922	* src/yes.c (main): Likewise.
4923	* src/od.c (main): Likewise.
4924	* src/install.c (change_attributes): Likewise.
4925
49262003-07-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4927
4928	* src/head.c (usage): Use 1024*1024 in place of 1048576.
4929	* src/tail.c (usage): Likewise.
4930
4931	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Now that we have setuidgid, use it in
4932	place of the kludge in this test.  Suggestion from Paul Jarc.
4933
4934	* src/Makefile.am (noinst_PROGRAMS): Define to setuidgid.
4935	* src/setuidgid.c: New program, solely for testing (not installed).
4936
4937	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't leak file descriptors
4938	when dereferencing symlinks.
4939
49402003-07-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4941
4942	* tests/du/slash: New file/test for today's lib/ftw.c fix.
4943	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add slash

4990
4991	split's --verbose option did nothing [broken in 4.5.10 and 5.0]
4992	* src/split.c (longopts): Use `1', not `0' as the value for
4993	for &verbose.  Reported by Keith Thompson.

5000
5001	* src/copy.c (copy_internal) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
5002	Use `error_t' (rather than int) as type for local `err'.
5003	From Alfred M. Szmidt.
5004
50052003-06-19  Marcus Brinkmann  <marcus@gnu.org>
5006
5007	* src/copy.c (copy_internal) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:

5024
5025	* src/readlink.c: Include <sys/types.h> before system.h (because
5026	the latter includes <sys/stat.h>).  Required on Ultrix 4.3.
5027
50282003-06-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5029
5030	* src/system.h (initialize_main): Define.
5031	Use it in every `main'.  Applied via this:
5032	p='initialize_main (&argc, &argv);'
5033	perl -ni -e '/program_name.=.argv.0/ and print "  '"$p"'\n"; print' \
5034	  $(grep -l program_name.=.argv.0 *.c)
5035	test.c uses margc/margv, so I made the change manually for that file.
5036	Based on a patch from Bernard Giroud.

5060	* src/touch.c (touch): Call close only if necessary.
5061	From Bruno Haible.
5062

5064	`newline, word, byte'.  Reported by Keith M. Briggs.
5065	* man/wc.x: Fix it here, too.  And change `lines' to `newlines'.
5066

5077
5078	* src/extract-magic (main): Avoid newer 3-arg form of open,
5079	so this script works also with e.g., perl5.005_03.
5080	Patch by John David Anglin.
5081
50822003-06-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

5093
5094	* man/kill.x: New file.

5106
5107	Avoid unnecessary copying of environment.
5108	* src/env.c (main): Rather than clearing the environment and --
5109	unless told to ignore environment -- copying all settings from
5110	the saved, original environment, clear the environment only when
5111	that is requested.  Suggested by Jens Elkner.
5112
51132003-06-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5114

5137
5138	* src/stat.c: Fix portability problem on FreeBSD5.0: don't include
5139	<sys/statvfs.h> on systems without HAVE_STRUCT_STATVFS_F_BASETYPE.

5156	BSD-style checksum files.

5159
5160	* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe): Fix a thinko.
5161	This sort of thing is why it'd be *Really Good* to factor
5162	out the common code used here and in tail.c.

5177	* src/dd.c (usage): Don't use `,' as the thousands separator
5178	in e.g. 1,000,000 and 1,048,576.  Instead, do this:

5190
5191	* src/uniq.c (enum output_mode, mode): Remove, replacing with:
5192	(output_unique, output_first_repeated, output_later_repeated):

5203
5204	* tests/rm/rm3: Use tr's \n notation rather than \012.

5236	Rewrite newline-counting loop to use memchr.

5252	Remove that (redundant) first use.
5253	Don't exit successfully just because --verbose was specified.
5254	Pass 0, not EXIT_SUCCESS, as first argument to error; when that
5255	parameter is 0, error does not exit.
5256
5257	* src/uname.c (main): When failing due to too many arguments, also say
5258	that, rather than just "Try `uname --help' for more information.".

5363	returned NULL and there has been at least one successful unlink or
5364	rmdir call since the opendir or previous rewinddir, then call
5365	rewinddir and reiterate the loop.
5366
5367	Factor out common code.
5368	* src/remove.c (readdir_ignoring_dotdirs): New function.
5369	(is_empty_dir): Use it here.
5370	(remove_cwd_entries): Use it here.
5371
53722003-05-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5373
5374	* tests/rm/r-3: Create 500 rather than just 300 files.
5375	There's a bug in Darwin6.5's readdir that shows up only with
5376	338 or more files.
5377	Fix a bug in this test: `cd $pwd' (not to `..'), now that $tmp
5378	has two components.
5379
5380	* src/tail.c:
5381	Change type of n_units, n_bytes, n_lines to be `uintmax_t'.
5382	(dump_remainder): Move two declarations `down' into the scope
5383	where they are used.
5384	(xlseek): Return the resulting offset.
5385	(file_lines): Rename parameter, file_length, to end_pos.
5386	(pipe_lines): Don't coerce safe_read return value to `int'.
5387	Adapt tests accordingly.
5388	(pipe_bytes) [struct charbuffer] (nbytes): Change type from `int'
5389	to `unsigned int'.
5390	Change type of `total_bytes' from `int' to `size_t',
5391	since the former wouldn't always be wide enough.
5392	Don't coerce safe_read return value to `int',
5393	and adapt tests accordingly.
5394	Now that testing for a read error no longer involves
5395	using `tmp', handle that case *after* freeing `tmp'.
5396	(start_bytes): Clean up.
5397	(tail_bytes): Now that `n_bytes' may be larger than
5398	OFF_T_MAX, test for that condition and, if it's true, don't
5399	use lseek optimizations.
5400	(parse_options): Don't fail just because N_UNITS is larger than
5401	the maximum size of a file -- tail may be applied to an input
5402	stream (e.g., a pipe) with more data than that.
5403
5404	* Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Rename from alloc-check.
5405	Also check for SPACE-TAB sequences.
5406	Also check for malloc/calloc/realloc casts.
5407
54082003-05-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5409
5410	* src/tail.c (start_lines): Rewrite to use memchr.  Clean up.
5411
54122003-04-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5413
5414	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Send two tokens, not just one, so we don't
5415	make the now-more-picky tsort fail.
5416
54172003-04-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5418
5419	* src/tsort.c (tsort): Remove unnecessary test of have_read_stdin.
5420	(main): Minor syntactic clean-up.
5421
5422	* src/tsort.c (tsort): Fail if the input contains an odd number of
5423	tokens.  Reported by junkio@cox.net.
5424
5425	* tests/tsort/basic-1: Test for the above fix.
5426
54272003-04-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5428
5429	* tests/misc/printf: Add tests for the printf fixes below.
5430
5431	* Makefile.cfg (cvs_files): Add $(srcdir)/config/depcomp to the list.
5432
54332003-04-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
5434
5435	Fix printf POSIX compatibility bug reported by Ben Harris in
5436	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-04/msg00070.html>.
5437	* doc/coreutils.texi (printf invocation): It's \NNN in the format,
5438	\0NNN in the %b operand.
5439	* src/printf.c (usage): Likewise.
5440	(print_esc): New arg OCTAL0 to specify whether \0NNN or \NNN
5441	is desired.  All uses changed.  Behave like Bash printf if %b
5442	operand uses \NNN where the initial N is not 0.
5443
54442003-04-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5445
5446	* src/stty.c: Remove uses of PROTOTYPE macro.
5447
54482003-04-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5449
5450	* Makefile.maint: Remove (or replace-with-TAB(s) to retain alignment)
5451	each sequence of spaces before a TAB character.
5452
54532003-04-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5454
5455	* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Don't closedir (NULL).
5456
54572003-04-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5458
5459	Giving nl an invalid STYLE argument (in --header-numbering=STYLE (-h),
5460	--body-numbering=STYLE (-b), or --footer-numbering=STYLE (-f)) or
5461	FORMAT (--number-format=FORMAT (-n)) would not give a useful diagnostic.
5462	* src/nl.c (main): Fix those problems and remove literal quote marks
5463	(e.g., "`%s'") from format string; instead use "%s" in each format
5464	string and `quote (optarg)' as the corresponding argument.
5465	Also, diagnose all invalid command line options before failing.
5466
5467	* src/nl.c (proc_text): Fix a bug that would make nl output extra
5468	newlines in some cases.  Details here: http://bugs.debian.org/177256.
5469	This bug was introduced on 2001-11-10 for textutils-2.0.17.
5470	* tests/misc/nl: Add test for the above-fixed bug.
5471
5472	* tests/misc/readlink: New file.  Test the --canonicalize option.
5473	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add readlink.
5474
54752003-04-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5476
5477	Clean up.
5478	* src/chown.c, src/cp.c, src/dircolors.hin, src/du.c, src/ln.c:
5479	* src/mkfifo.c, src/ptx.c, src/spline.c, src/stty.c, src/tail.c:
5480	* src/test.c, src/unexpand.c: Remove (or replace-with-TAB(s) to
5481	retain alignment) each sequence of spaces before a TAB character.
5482
5483	* src/ls.c: Include <stdlib.h> unconditionally.
5484
5485	* Makefile.maint (xalloc-check): Rename from header-check.
5486
5487	* src/yes.c: Include error.h after system.h, not before.
5488
5489	Clean up.
5490	* src/copy.c, src/cp-hash.c, src/cp.c, src/csplit.c, src/cut.c:
5491	* src/date.c, src/df.c, src/du.c, src/expand.c, src/expr.c, src/id.c:
5492	* src/join.c, src/md5sum.c, src/nl.c, src/od.c, src/paste.c, src/pr.c:
5493	* src/ptx.c, src/sort.c, src/split.c, src/su.c, src/tail.c, src/tee.c:
5494	* src/tr.c: * src/unexpand.c, src/users.c:
5495	Remove anachronistic casts of xmalloc, xrealloc, and xcalloc
5496	return values and of xrealloc's first argument.
5497	Fix the former with this:
5498	perl -pi -e 's/\([^(]*?\*\) *(x(m|c|re)alloc)\b/$1/'
5499
55002003-04-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5501
5502	* src/stty.c (wrapf): Declare with format attribute.
5503
5504	The S_MAGIC_... names shouldn't be maintained in two places (prior
5505	to this change, one would have to keep stat.c and fs.h in sync).
5506	This change makes it so those names and the corresponding
5507	hexadecimal constants all reside in stat.c.  fs.h is now generated.
5508	* src/Makefile.am (fs.h): New rule to generate fs.h from stat.c.
5509	(BUILT_SOURCES): Add fs.h, now that it's generated.
5510	(EXTRA_DIST): Add extract-magic.
5511	* src/extract-magic: New script to extract fs.h definitions from stat.c.
5512	* src/stat.c (human_fstype) [__linux__]: Append each hex constant from
5513	fs.h in a comment after the corresponding `case S_MAGIC_...:' statement.
5514
5515	* tests/tail-2/big-4gb: Skip this test (don't fail) if creating a
5516	file with nominal length > 4GB fails.  Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
5517
5518	* man/unexpand.x: Add `SEE ALSO' reference to expand.
5519	* man/expand.x: Add `SEE ALSO' reference to unexpand.
5520	Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
5521
55222003-04-10  Maciej W. Rozycki  <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>
5523
5524	* src/fs.h (S_MAGIC_DEVPTS): New magic for Linux's devpts.
5525	* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Handle Linux's devpts.
5526
55272003-04-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
5528
5529	* src/split.c (line_bytes_split): Arg is of type size_t, since
5530	that's all that is supported for now.
5531	(main): Check for overflow in obsolescent line count option.
5532
55332003-04-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5534
5535	* tests/misc/split-fail: Add a new test for the above fix.
5536
5537	* src/split.c (bytes_split): Use size_t temporary (rather than
5538	uintmax_t original) in remaining computations.  From Paul Eggert.
5539
5540	Handle command line option arguments larger than 2^31.
5541	This allows e.g., splitting into files of size 2GB and larger,
5542	and running split --lines=N with N=2^31 or more.
5543	But for --line-bytes=N, the restriction that N <= SIZE_MAX
5544	remains (for now), due to the way it is implemented.
5545
5546	* src/split.c: Include "inttostr.h".
5547	(bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split, main):
5548	Use uintmax_t, not size_t, for file sizes.
5549	(main): Give a better diagnostic for option arguments == 0.
5550	Use umaxtostr to print file sizes.
5551	Reported by Luke Hassell.
5552
55532003-04-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5554
5555	* src/rm.c (usage): Mention that --directory (-d) works only
5556	on some systems.  Suggestion from Samuel Tardieu.
5557
5558	* tests/basename/basic: Run $PERL to see if it is available,
5559	rather than testing its value.
5560	* tests/sum/sysv, tests/tsort/basic-1, tests/unexpand/basic-1:
5561	* tests/basename/basic, tests/dd/skip-seek, tests/dircolors/simple:
5562	* tests/expr/basic, tests/factor/basic, tests/fmt/basic:
5563	* tests/ls-2/tests, tests/md5sum/basic-1, tests/md5sum/newline-1:
5564	* tests/misc/sort, tests/misc/tty-eof, tests/mv/i-1:
5565	* tests/rm/empty-name, tests/rm/fail-eperm, tests/rm/unreadable:
5566	* tests/seq/basic, tests/sha1sum/basic-1, tests/sha1sum/sample-vec:
5567	* tests/sum/basic-1, tests/seq/basic: Likewise.
5568
5569	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add split-fail.
5570	* tests/misc/split-fail: New file.
5571
5572	* src/split.c: Rename local variables: nchars -> n_bytes.
5573	(lines_split): Rename local, nlines -> n_lines.
5574	(main): Rename local variable: s/accum/n_units/.
5575	(main): Use STDIN_FILENO, not literal `0'.
5576
55772003-04-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5578
5579	* src/stat.c: Add #include directives for Ultrix 4.4.
5580	Based on a suggested change from Bert Deknuydt.
5581
55822003-04-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5583
5584	* Makefile.maint (makefile-check): New rule.
5585	(local-check): Add it.
5586
55872003-04-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5588
5589	* Makefile.am (nearly all of them):
5590	Use $(VAR) rather than @VAR@, now that we can rely on automake to
5591	emit a definition for each substituted variable.
5592	* tests/Makefile.am.in: Likewise.
5593
5594	* tests/rm/rm5: Add a comment explaining why this test fails when
5595	using Tru64's broken sed.
5596	* tests/rm/rm3: Likewise.
5597
5598	Make `kill -t' output signal descriptions (not `?') on Tru64.
5599	* src/kill.c (sys_siglist): Also check for __sys_siglist.
5600	Patch by Tony Leneis.
5601	* configure.ac: Also check for declaration of __sys_siglist.
5602	Required for Tru64 4.0D, 4.0F, and 5.1.
5603	Reported by Tony Leneis.
5604
56052003-04-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5606
5607	* src/Makefile.am (PERL): Remove unnecessary definition.
5608
5609	Because of inappropriate (but POSIX-mandated) behavior of rename,
5610	`mv a b' would not remove `a' in some unusual cases.  Work around
5611	this by unlinking `a' when necessary.
5612
5613	* src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Add an output parameter.
5614	Set it in the offending case.
5615	(copy_internal): When necessary, unlink SRC_PATH and inform caller.
5616	Reported by Ed Avis.
5617	* tests/mv/hard-4: New test for the above.
5618	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-4.
5619
5620	Clean up rules for automatically generated sources:
5621	* src/Makefile.am (dircolors.h, wheel-size.h, wheel.h, false.c):
5622	Make each generated file be read-only.
5623	Add each file name to BUILT_SOURCES separately.
5624	(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Set to $(BUILT_SOURCES).
5625
5626	Put LOCALEDIR macro definition in new file: localedir.h.
5627	* src/Makefile.am (DEFS): Remove definition.
5628	(localedir.h): New rule.
5629	(BUILT_SOURCES, DISTCLEANFILES): Add localedir.h.
5630	* src/system.h: Include "localedir.h".
5631
56322003-04-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5633
5634	* Version 5.0.
5635
5636	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add false.
5637
5638	* Makefile.maint (TMPDIR): Make sure it's defined.
5639	(my-distcheck): Build in $(TMPDIR), not `.'.
5640
5641	* src/Makefile.am (false.c): Change all occurrences of
5642	`(EXIT_SUCCESS)' to `(EXIT_FAILURE)' so that false exits
5643	unsuccessfully also with --help.  Reported by Paul Jarc,
5644	* tests/misc/false: New test for the above.
5645
56462003-03-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5647
5648	* NEWS: Note the location of older NEWS files.
5649
5650	* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Don't let a failing closedir
5651	clobber errno.  Spotted by Arnold Robbins.
5652
5653	* src/env.c: Fix typo in comment.  From Arnold Robbins.
5654
56552003-03-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5656
5657	* Version 4.5.12.
5658
5659	* README: Note to expect build problems for stat.c on Ultrix 4.3.
5660	Note that there are some harmless test failures when running
5661	`make check' as root on some systems.
5662
56632003-03-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5664
5665	* tests/stty/row-col-1: Skip this test if stty can't get window size.
5666	This happens when connecting to sparc-solaris5.7 via ssh from within
5667	emacs.  Reported by Karl Berry.
5668
5669	* tests/du/basic: Use seq, not `yes' to generate 4KB of data.
5670	Otherwise, on systems (DJGPP) that emulate pipes using files,
5671	this test would never complete, waiting for `yes' to terminate.
5672	* tests/du/slink: As above, use seq, not `yes' to generate link target.
5673	* tests/rm/hash: As above, use seq, not `yes' to generate dir name.
5674	Reported by Rich Dawe.
5675
56762003-03-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5677
5678	* src/id.c: Remove Arnold Robbins' obsolete e-mail address
5679	from `written by...' comment, at his request.
5680
56812003-03-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
5682
5683	Fix buffer overrun problem reported by TAKAI Kousuke, along
5684	with some other POSIX incompatibilities.
5685
5686	* src/printf.c (print_esc): Do not treat \x specially if
5687	POSIXLY_CORRECT.  Avoid buffer overrun if the format ends
5688	in backslash.  Treat incomplete escape sequences as strings
5689	of characters, as POSIX requires.
5690	(print_formatted): Allow multiple flags.  Avoid buffer overrun
5691	if the format is incomplete.
5692
56932003-03-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5694
5695	* tests/misc/printf: Add tests for the above fixes and changes.
5696
56972003-03-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5698
5699	* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add a comment.
5700
57012003-03-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5702
5703	* README: Describe problem with 64-bit mode on HPUX 11.x,
5704	with patch for /usr/include/inttypes.h.
5705	* TODO: Plan to add an autoconf test to work around the bug.
5706
57072003-03-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5708
5709	* src/stat.c: Don't include <sys/sysmacros.h>.
5710	That is already done via system.h.  Otherwise, the multiple
5711	inclusion would evoke redefinition warnings from Cray's /bin/cc,
5712	aka Cray Standard C Version 4.0.3  (057126) Mar 22 2003  22:02:28.
5713	(human_fstype): Factor some directives `up', out of this function.
5714	Cast away `const' to avoid error from Cray's /bin/cc.
5715
57162003-03-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5717
5718	* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): Ensure that a newline
5719	precedes each row of `*'s.
5720
57212003-03-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5722
5723	* Version 4.5.11.
5724
5725	* src/seq.c (valid_format): Also accept ` ' and `'' as valid
5726	format flag characters.
5727	Do not require that a field width be specified.
5728	Do not fail when given a field width of `0'.
5729	Reported by Dan Jacobson.
5730	* tests/seq/basic: Add new tests for the above-fixed bug.
5731
5732	* src/Makefile.am (all-local): Append $(EXEEXT) to use of `su'
5733	(install-root): Likewise.
5734	(install-exec-local): Likewise.
5735	Based on a patch from Richard Dawe.
5736
57372003-03-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5738
5739	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use $(LN_S) instead of 'ln -s',
5740	because the DJGPP 2.03 port of 'ln -s' doesn't work.
5741	Include $(EXEEXT) in program names.
5742	Since $(LN_S) may degenerate to `cp -p', be careful
5743	to invoke it from the destination directory.
5744	Mostly from Richard Dawe.
5745	* configure.ac: Use AC_PROG_LN_S.
5746
5747	* tests/mv/part-symlink: Unset CDPATH.  Otherwise, having the
5748	CDPATH shell variable set could cause this test to fail.
5749	Reported by Karl Berry.
5750
57512003-03-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5752
5753	* src/fmt.c [struct Word] (paren, period, punct, final): Change the
5754	type of each member from bool <MEMBER>:1 to unsigned int <MEMBER>:1.
5755	AIX 5.1's xlc could not compile the former.
5756	Patch by Petter Reinholdtsen.  Also reported by Mike Jetzer.
5757
57582003-03-17  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>
5759
5760	* configure.ac: Include $(EXEEXT) in OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS'
5761	program names, since automake only adds $(EXEEXT) to programs
5762	in its *_PROGRAMS.
5763
57642003-03-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5765
5766	* src/remove.c (rm): Put two local variables in static storage,
5767	so they can't be clobbered by the potential longjmp.
5768
57692003-03-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5770
5771	* Makefile.cfg (gnu_rel_host): Fix code to match the comment
5772	so that a version number with a two-digit component can still count
5773	as an alpha release.  Reported by Richard A Downing.
5774	(gnu_rel_host): Define in terms of $(RELEASE_TYPE) instead.

5778	* src/ansi2knr.c: Remove no-longer-used file.
5779	* src/ansi2knr.1: Likewise.
5780
5781	* Makefile.maint (prev_version_file): Don't use ?= for this particular
5782	assignment, since it causes trouble with old versions of GNU make
5783	(e.g. 3.76.1).  The other uses of `?=' are inoffensive.  Details here.
5784	http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-03/msg00028.html
5785	Patch from Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
5786
5787	* Use patched automake-1.7.3.  Regenerate Makefile.in files in
5788	subdirectories so that each includes a definition of ACLOCAL_M4.
5789
5790	* announce-gen (main): Label the compressed source URLs.
5791
5792	* Version 4.5.10.
5793
5794	* tests/du/slink: Relax the test for the `local'ness of a file system,
5795	so that now it works also for tmpfs.
5796
5797	* tests/du/hard-link: Transform output from first du, so that this
5798	test doesn't fail on file systems like tmpfs that order directory
5799	entries differently.
5800
58012003-03-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5802
5803	* tests/du/8gb: Work around what appears to be an NFS failure that
5804	would make this test fail on some systems.
5805
58062003-03-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5807
5808	* tests/du/basic: Make the test file exactly 4k bytes long.
5809
5810	* src/split.c (longopts): Don't hard-code `2' here.
5811	Instead, just specify `&verbose', and ...
5812	(main): ... remove the `case 2:' block for --verbose.
5813
5814	* tests/du/basic: Make the test file larger than 64 bytes, so that
5815	we don't immediately disqualify file systems (e.g., NetApp) on which
5816	smaller files take up zero disk blocks.  Reported by Vin Shelton.
5817
58182003-03-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5819
5820	Don't segfault for a negative field width or precision in format string.
5821	Note that this is just a stopgap fix.  The longer term solution may
5822	involve adapting bash's builtins/printf.def.
5823
5824	* src/printf.c: (UNSPECIFIED): Define.
5825	(print_direc): Use the special value, UNSPECIFIED, to indicate
5826	that field_width or precision has not been specified.
5827	(print_formatted): Fail if field_width or precision is the
5828	special value, UNSPECIFIED.
5829	Reported by Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
5830
5831	* src/sys2.h (INT_MIN): Define, if necessary.
5832	* tests/misc/printf: Add a test for the above-fixed bug.
5833
58342003-03-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5835
5836	* src/remove.c (AD_stack_pop): Cast sizeof... to int before
5837	changing its sign.  This avoids a warning from gcc on 64-bit systems.
5838	Reported by Bob Proulx.
5839	(pop_dir): Reverse order of sign change and cast, to be consistent
5840	with the above.
5841
58422003-03-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5843
5844	* tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Check for POSIXLY_CORRECT not as a
5845	shell variable, but only in the environment.  With /bin/sh->bash, the
5846	shell variable is set to `y', and that would cause a spurious warning.
5847	Reported by Bob Proulx.
5848
5849	* tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Remove touch/fifo.
5850	It doesn't appear to have to be run as root.
5851
5852	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Rather than simply using the first non-root
5853	user name, make sure that the selected user name has a usable shell.
5854	Reported by Paul Jarc.
5855
5856	Before, when using shred on a device, one had to specify --exact,
5857	or be careful to choose a size that would not be rounded up and
5858	exceed the maximum value;  that could result in a failure of
5859	the final write.
5860	* src/shred.c (do_wipefd): --exact is now the default for non-regular
5861	files.  Suggestion from Ben Elliston.
5862	(usage): Say it.
5863
5864	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Require at least version 1.11 of Expect.pm.
5865	Old versions of Expect.pm (e.g., 1.07) lack the log_user function.
5866	Patch by Bob Proulx.
5867
5868	* src/Makefile.am (check-misc): Check for use of `defined' in
5869	#define directives.
5870	Change to $(srcdir) before running grep.
5871
5872	* src/sleep.c: Remove now-unused #include and #define directives.
5873
5874	* src/du.c (process_file): If a file's size is not being counted
5875	e.g., because it's a hard link to a file we've already counted,
5876	then don't print a line for it.
5877
5878	* tests/du/hard-link: New test for the above-fixed bug.
5879	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-link.
5880
5881	`du -S' didn't work
5882	* src/du.c: Revert most of the `reorganization' change of 2003-02-20,
5883	and make the two-array approach work.
5884
5885	* tests/du/basic: Correct/add tests for the above fix.
5886	Set LC_ALL, etc., now that we use sort.
5887	Check the block/size of a small file, too.
5888	Correct expected results for simple dir1/dir2/file case.
5889	Add another test of du -S.
5890
58912003-03-07  John David Anglin  <dave.anglin@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca>
5892
5893	Avoid build failure with gcc on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 (see GCC PR
5894	middle-end/9986).  As one of GCC's optimizations, it transforms a
5895	fputs_unlocked call to a fputc_unlocked call when the string is
5896	one character long.  However, hpux doesn't have fputc_unlocked.
5897
5898	* expr.c (usage): Use putchar, not fputs, to output a single character.
5899	* ls.c (dired_dump_obstack): Likewise.
5900	* ptx.c (output_one_tex_line, output_one_dumb_line): Likewise.
5901	* stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
5902
59032003-03-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5904
5905	* src/cp.c: Remove everything associated with mmap-stack.c.
5906	This reverts the two changes of 2003-02-21.
5907	* src/du.c: Remove everything associated with mmap-stack.c.
5908	This reverts the change of 2003-02-19.
5909
59102003-03-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5911
5912	* tests/cp/same-file: Unset CDPATH.  Otherwise, having the
5913	CDPATH shell variable set could cause this test to fail.
5914	Reported by Karl Berry.
5915
59162003-03-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5917
5918	* Version 4.5.9.
5919
5920	* src/printf.c (print_esc): Remove pointless comparison of unsigned
5921	integer with zero, to avoid a warning from Intel's ecc.
5922	Reported by Nelson Beebe.
5923
5924	* src/du.c (process_file): Sizes must all be of type uintmax_t.
5925	Otherwise, for files or totals that are too big, numbers would
5926	be truncated.  Patch mostly by Michael Stone.
5927	Reported by Ingo Saitz as Debian bug #183210.
5928
5929	* tests/du/8gb: New test for the above-fixed bug.
5930	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add 8gb.
5931
5932	* src/du.c (MAX_N_DESCRIPTORS): Use 3 * UTILS_OPEN_MAX / 4
5933	rather than UTILS_OPEN_MAX - 10.
5934
59352003-03-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5936
5937	* README: Refer new feature discussion to bug-coreutils@gnu.org,
5938	rather than bug-gnu-utils, now that the former is better known.
5939	Suggestion from Göran Uddeborg.
5940
5941	* src/stat.c (usage): Capitalize consistently.
5942	Reported by Göran Uddeborg.
5943
5944	* Makefile.maint (rel-files): Include $(signatures), so that
5945	those files are also copied into $(release_archive_dir).
5946
5947	* src/df.c (find_mount_point): Call error here, now that restore_cwd
5948	no longer does it.
5949	* src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Likewise.
5950
5951	* tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add fail-2eperm.
5952
59532003-03-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5954
5955	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Include the full filename of
5956	the offending file, not just the basename.
5957
5958	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Set $ME properly.
5959
5960	* Makefile.maint (THIS_VERSION_REGEXP, PREV_VERSION_REGEXP):
5961	Remove now-unused variables.
5962	(tag-prev-version, prev-cvs-tag): Likewise.
5963
5964	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries) [!ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS]: Give an
5965	accurate diagnostic when failing to remove a file owned by some other
5966	user.  Reported by Ivo Timmermans via Michael Stone.
5967	This fixes Debian bug# 178471.
5968
5969	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-2eperm.
5970	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: New test, for the above-fixed bug.
5971	Based on a report from Ivo Timmermans.
5972
59732003-03-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5974
5975	* src/copy.c (copy_internal) [un_backup]: When recovering from a
5976	failure to create a hard link, do not remove the entry associating
5977	the source dev/ino with the destination file name.
5978	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-3.
5979	* tests/mv/hard-3: New test, for the above-fixed bug.
5980	Inspired by a report from Iida Yosiaki.
5981
59822003-03-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5983
5984	* src/df.c (print_header): Don't embed spaces in a separate `Type'
5985	header string.  Instead, put `Filesystem' and `Type' headers in the
5986	same string, so translators can use horizontal space as needed.
5987	Reported by Jean Charles Delepine.
5988
59892003-02-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
5990
5991	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): When link fails because of an
5992	existing destination file, unlink that file and try again.
5993	Reported by Iida Yosiaki.
5994
5995	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-2.
5996	* tests/mv/hard-2: New test for the above-fixed bug.
5997	Based on a test case from Iida Yosiaki.
5998
59992003-02-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6000
6001	* tests/du/basic: Don't test du's -b option here.  Directory byte
6002	counts are smaller (512 rather than 4096) on at least OSF/1 5.1
6003	and IBM AIX 4.2.  Reported by Nelson Beebe.
6004
60052003-02-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6006
6007	* Makefile.maint (announcement): Now that ChangeLog entries
6008	are output by announce-gen, don't do it here.
6009	* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): New function.
6010	(main): Use it.
6011
60122003-02-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6013
6014	* announce-gen: New option: --release-type=TYPE
6015	* Makefile.maint (beta, major): New targets.  Remove `release'.
6016	Put them all together on a line.
6017	Pass the release type (via RELEASE_TYPE envvar) to the MAKE
6018	invocation of `announcement'.
6019	(announcement): Invoke announce-gen with --release-type=$RELEASE_TYPE.
6020
6021	* announce-gen: New option: --news=NEWS_FILE.
6022	Extract NEWS entries here, not via rules in Makefile.maint.
6023	* Makefile.maint (announcement): Now that NEWS entries are
6024	extracted by announce-gen, don't do it here.
6025	(news-r1, news-r2): Remove now-unused definitions.
6026
60272003-02-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6028
6029	* Version 4.5.8.
6030
6031	Merge in changes from autoconf's version of this file.
6032	* Makefile.maint (www-gnu): Define.
6033	(standards.texi-url_prefix): Use $(www-gnu).
6034	(make-stds.texi-url_prefix): Likewise.
6035
6036	* src/cp.c: Include "mmap-stack.h".
6037	(main): Invoke `run' through a macro that (when possible) runs it
6038	with a large, mmap'd stack.
6039
6040	* src/cp.c (run): New function, preparing for the above.
6041	Exit from this function, not from main
6042	(main): Call run.
6043
6044	* src/du.c: New option: --apparent-size.
6045	(enum) [APPARENT_SIZE_OPTION]: New member.
6046	(long_options): Add it.
6047	(usage): Describe it.
6048	(main): Handle it.
6049	['b']: Set apparent_size.
6050	David Eisner reported that the behavior of --bytes had changed.
6051	Paul Eggert proposed the use of a new option, --apparent-size.
6052
6053	* src/du.c (apparent_size): New global.
6054	(print_only_size): Reflect the fact that we're printing byte counts,
6055	not ST_NBLOCKSIZE-byte-block counts.
6056	(print_size): Call print_only_size rather than duplicating its code.
6057	(process_file): Accumulate byte counts, rather than block counts.
6058
6059	* src/du.c (process_file): Always reset size_to_propagate_to_parent
6060	for --separate-dirs (-S).
6061
60622003-02-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6063
6064	* Use automake-1.7.3.  Regenerate dependent files.
6065
6066	* src/stat.c (print_stat): New format: %B (to print ST_NBLOCKSIZE).
6067	This makes %b (number of ST_NBLOCKSIZE-byte blocks) more useful.
6068	(usage) [%B]: Describe it.
6069	[%b]: Refer to %B.
6070
6071	* src/du.c (process_file): Reorganize the code to use only
6072	one `sum' array, and change how -S works back to the way it was
6073	before 2003-01-31.  Patch by Bruno Haible.
6074
6075	* tests/du/basic: New test.
6076	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add basic.
6077
6078	* tests/envvar-check: Add checks for the following:
6079	BLOCK_SIZE, DU_BLOCK_SIZE, DF_BLOCK_SIZE, LS_BLOCK_SIZE.
6080
6081	* tests/Makefile.am: Rename phony target envvar-check to evar-check
6082	so as not to conflict with the distributed file by the same name.
6083
6084	* src/du.c (process_file): Set info->skip before any possible return.
6085
6086	Report correct usage for directories, not 0.
6087	* src/du.c (process_file): Return for `file_type == FTW_DPRE'
6088	_before_ recording the dev/ino of a directory.
6089	Reported by Bruno Haible.
6090
6091	Now, df always displays the device file name corresponding to the
6092	listed mount point under `Filesystem'.  Before, for an unmounted
6093	block- or character-special file argument, it would display the
6094	command-line argument instead.
6095	* src/df.c (show_disk): Return a value indicating whether
6096	there was a match.  Don't try to find a mount point here.
6097	(show_entry): If show_disk doesn't find a match, call show_point.
6098
60992003-02-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6100
6101	* src/du.c: Include "mmap-stack.h".
6102	(du_files): Add prototype with ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
6103	Exit from this function, not from...
6104	(main): ...here.
6105	Instead, if possible, invoke du_files through a macro that
6106	runs it with a large, mmap'd stack.
6107
6108	* src/join.c (usage): Change wording in --help output:
6109	use FILENUM instead of `SIDE' and say what FILENUM means.
6110	Reported by Bernhard Gabler.
6111
6112	* src/df.c (print_header): Rather than using a hard-coded literal
6113	string of spaces matching the length of the English `...Type' header,
6114	output the right number of spaces to match the selected translation.
6115	Reported by Yann Dirson and Jean Charles Delepine as Debian bug 131113.
6116
6117	* src/split.c (bytes_split): Remove unnecessary `else' after break.
6118	(lines_split): Likewise.  and correct misleading indentation.
6119
6120	* src/split.c: Include "full-read.h".
6121	(bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split): Use full_read,
6122	not safe_read.   The way split was using the latter, a short read
6123	could cause split to terminate before EOF.
6124
6125	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Test all programs that can read stdin,
6126	requiring no arguments and that write to standard output.
6127
6128	* tests/misc/tty-eof: New file.  Renamed from ...
6129	* tests/misc/cat-tty-eof: Remove file.  Rename to tty-eof.
6130	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reflect renaming.
6131
61322003-02-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6133
6134	cksum would perform an extra read after encountering EOF
6135	* src/cksum.c (cksum): Exit the loop upon EOF, too.
6136	Patch by Michael Bacarella.
6137
6138	Test for the bug fixed today in cksum, md5sum, and sha1sum.
6139	* tests/misc/cat-tty-eof: Generalize, clean-up, and test for
6140	cat, cksum, md5sum, and sha1sum all in the same loop.
6141
61422003-02-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6143
6144	* src/remove.c: Include "euidaccess.h".
6145	Remove declaration of euidaccess.
6146
61472003-02-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6148
6149	* src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Remove unnecessary `const'
6150	in cast to avoid warning from icc.  Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
6151
61522003-02-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6153
6154	* src/test.c: Don't include group-member.h.
6155	Include euidaccess.h.
6156	(eaccess): Rewrite function to set the real uid and gid temporarily
6157	to the effective uid and gid, then invoke 'access', and then set the
6158	real uid and gid back.  On systems that lack setreuid or setregid,
6159	fall back on the kludges in euidaccess.  Before, it would not work
6160	for e.g., files with ACLs, files that were marked immutable,
6161	or on file systems mounted read-only.  Nelson Beebe raised the issue.
6162	Paul Eggert suggested the new implementation.
6163
61642003-02-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6165
6166	* src/test.c (test_stat): Remove function.  It's job is done (only
6167	when necessary) by the wrapper in lib/stat.c.  Adjust all uses.
6168
61692003-02-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6170
6171	* Version 4.5.7.
6172
6173	* tests/mv/part-symlink: Don't assume that the file owner username
6174	length is less than 9 in ls output: instead, omit that field
6175	altogether.  Reported by, and suggested fix from, Ferdinand.
6176
6177	* tests/du/restore-wd: New test for just-fixed bug in ftw.c.
6178	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add restore-wd.
6179
6180	* src/rm.c: Correct now-invalid comment about cycle-detection.
6181
61822003-02-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6183
6184	* NEWS: Add entries from old/*/NEWS
6185	from fileutils-4.1 through 4.1.11 and
6186	from sh-utils-2.0 through 2.0.15.  Suggestion from Karl Berry.
6187
6188	* Version 4.5.6.
6189
6190	* src/du.c (process_file): Don't return early for excluded files
6191	or for files whose dev/inode we've already seen.
6192
61932003-02-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6194
6195	* tests/du/exclude: New file.
6196	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add exclude.
6197
61982003-02-04  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>
6199
6200	* src/who.c (print_boottime, print_deadprocs, print_runlevel):
6201	Fix memory allocation arithmetic.
6202
62032003-02-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6204
6205	`df /dev/block-or-char-device-file--not-mounted' now reports
6206	the name of the file system on which the file resides, usually `/'.
6207	Before, it would leave the `Mounted on' field blank.
6208	* src/df.c (show_disk): Move function to precede find_mount_point.
6209	(show_disk): Add parameter: STATP.
6210	If we don't find a matching device name, then resort to calling

62362003-01-31  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>
6237
6238	* tests/basename/Makefile.am: Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@ instead of
6239	hard-coding the path-separator.  Also double-quote the new PATH,
6240	to avoid problems when the path-separator is a semi-colon or when
6241	`pwd` contains e.g. a space.

6275	* src/stat.c: Include "file-type.h"
6276	(print_human_type): Remove function.
6277	(human_access): Rename from print_human_access.  Return a string.
6278	(human_time): Rename from print_human_time.  Return a string.
6279	(print_stat): Arrange so that field width and an alignment specifier
6280	are honored for the %A, %F, %x, %y, and %z formats.
6281	[%F]: Use file_type; this gives slightly different file type strings,
6282	e.g., `directory' instead of `Directory' and `regular file' or
6283	`regular empty file' instead of `Regular file'.
6284	Prompted by a report from Richard Dawe that the uses of
6285	S_IFSOCK and S_IFIFO in print_human_time were not portable
6286	to systems using e.g., DJGPP.
6287
62882003-01-31  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>
6289
6290	* src/stat.c (print_stat): Use S_ISLNK rather than an explicit
6291	test using S_IFMT and S_IFLNK.  S_IFLNK may not be defined.
6292
62932003-01-31  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6294
6295	* src/du.c (main): Upon processing an invalid option or an invalid
6296	--exclude-from or --max-depth option argument, don't exit right away,
6297	in case there are others.  Rather record the failure and exit after
6298	processing other options.
6299
6300	* GNUmakefile (TAR_OPTIONS): Set and export, in order to make
6301	tar archive easier to reproduce.
6302
6303	Rewrite to perform directory traversal using nftw.
6304
6305	* src/du.c: Include "dirname.h", "ftw.h", and "quotearg.h".
6306	(AUTHORS): Add self.
6307	(opt_one_file_system): Move global into `main'.
6308	(path, xstat, exit_status): Remove declarations.
6309	(arg_length, suffix_length): New globals.
6310	(G_fail): New global, sort of like the old `exit_status'.

6322
63232003-01-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

6329
63302003-01-27  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>
6331
6332	* src/ls.c (quote_name): Add fourth parameter, width, into which to
6333	store the screen columns, and return the number of bytes instead.
6334	(print_dir): Pass NULL as fourth parameter of quote_name.
6335	(print_name_with_quoting): Likewise.
6336	(length_of_file_name_and_frills): Get the width from the fourth
6337	parameter of quote_name instead of return value.
6338
63392003-01-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6340
6341	* src/ls.c (decode_switches): If `dired' is set without
6342	`format == long_format', then silently reset dired.  This doesn't
6343	change the behavior of ls (all prior uses of dired were protected
6344	by `&& format == long_format'), and lets us...
6345	(DIRED_INDENT): ... remove the `format == long_format' conjunct.
6346	(PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS): Likewise.
6347	(main): Likewise.
6348
63492003-01-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

6355
6356	* src/remove.c (remove_entry) [ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS
6357	&& HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: If a file has d_type == DT_UNKNOWN
6358	it may still be a directory -- or not (e.g., with FreeBSD on an
6359	NFS-mounted file system), so resort to calling lstat to find out.
6360	Based on a patch by Michael van Elst.
6361
6362	* tests/cp/same-file: Don't assume that the file owner username
6363	length is less than 9 in ls output: instead, omit that field
6364	altogether.  Reported by, and suggested fix from, Ferdinand.
6365
63662003-01-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6367
6368	* tests/date/Test.pm (wide-fmt): New test to demonstrate that
6369	large format widths no longer cause strftime to infloop.
6370
6371	* Makefile.maint (mail_gpg_sign_cookie): Remove now-unused definition.
6372
63732003-01-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6374
6375	* src/readlink.c: Include "canonicalize.h".
6376
63772003-01-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6378
6379	* src/ls.c (Dereference_symlink) [DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR]:
6380	New member.
6381	(enum) [DEREFERENCE_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR_OPTION]: New member.
6382	(long_options): Add option --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
6383	(main): Make DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR be the default,
6384	rather than DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS, when none of the
6385	-d, -F, -l options is specified.
6386	(decode_switches): Handle --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
6387	(gobble_file): Honor DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR.
6388	Change --dereference-command-line (-H) to dereference *all*
6389	command line arguments, including broken symlinks.
6390
63912003-01-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6392
6393	Change ls -H back to the way it was yesterday, since this is
6394	compatible with FreeBSD and the POSIX spec is confusing
6395	and somewhat contradictory.
6396
6397	* src/ls.c (DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS): Change name back
6398	from DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR, updating all uses.
6399	(long_options): Change the long option name back.
6400	(usage): Change the usage back.
6401	(gobble_file): When -H is specified, dereference a top-level
6402	arg even if it points to a non-directory.
6403
64042003-01-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6405
6406	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fall back on using lstat when required:
6407	when --dereference (-L) is not specified, and
6408	- when operating on a dangling symlink
6409	- when operating on command-line-symlink-to-directories
6410	This fixes numerous problems.  Here are examples:
6411	- `ls dangling-symlink' would fail with `no such file...'
6412	Now it prints `dangling-symlink'.
6413	- `ls -i symlink' would mistakenly print the inode of the referent.
6414	Now it prints the inode of the symlink.  Likewise for --size (-s).
6415	Based on a patch from Michael Stone.
6416	Reported by Deepak Goel as Debian bug #173793.
6417
6418	Rename ls's --dereference-command-line (-H)
6419	option to   --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
6420	* src/ls.c [enum Dereference_symlink]
6421	(DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR): Rename from
6422	DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS.  Update all uses.
6423	(long_options): Rename the long option.
6424	(usage): Say that --dereference-... changes how ls treats
6425	only symlinks to directories specified on the command line.
6426
64272003-01-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6428
6429	* tests/ls/dangle: New file/test, for the above fix.

6432
6433	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix a bug introduced in 4.5.4 that made it
6434	so that ls --color would no longer highlight the names of files with
6435	the execute bit set when not specified on the command line.
6436	Patch by Michael Stone.  Reported by Stephen Depooter as
6437	Debian bug 175135.
6438
6439	* tests/ls-2/tests (color-exe): New test, for the above fix.

6500
6501	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Make code agree with comment:

6503	difference currently, but is required to support an upcoming change.

6661
6662	* Version 4.5.4.
6663
6664	* tests/du/trailing-slash: Allow for a directory of size `0'.

6686
66872002-12-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6688
6689	* tests/touch/fail-diag: Don't get a test failure if /no exists.

6691	Reported by Michael Stone.
6692

6694
6695	* src/du.c (lstat) [! LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK]:
6696	Define to rpl_lstat, so that even on systems like Solaris 5.8,
6697	du honors (per POSIX) the trailing slash on an argument referring
6698	to a symlink-to-directory.
6699
67002002-12-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6701
6702	* Use autoconf-2.57.  Regenerate dependent files.
6703	* Use automake-1.7.2.  Regenerate dependent files.
6704
6705	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Also stat the file if it's a
6706	regular file and --indicator-style=classify (aka -F).
6707	Thanks to Ed Santiago for opening my eyes.
6708
6709	* tests/ls/file-type: New file.  Test for the above.
6710	A test to contrast ls -F and ls --indicator-style=file-type.
6711	* tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-type.
6712
67132002-12-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6714
6715	* tests/ls/follow-slink: Make sure the symlink was created.
6716	Richard Dawe reported that `ln -s link link' succeeds, but creates
6717	no file on systems running some version of the DJGPP libc.
6718
67192002-12-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6720
6721	* src/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove definition (to ansi2knr)
6722	since this package no longer panders to K&R compilers.

6725
6726	* tests/du/slink: Skip this test if `.' is on a non-local file system.

6732
6733	* src/stat.c: Don't include <string.h> or <ctype.h>.
6734	That's already done via system.h.
6735	* src/dircolors.c: Don't include <ctype.h>.
6736
67372002-11-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6738
6739	* ls.c (gobble_file): Remove the block of code that caused
6740	`ls --color -F symlink-to-dir' to list the files in
6741	`symlink-to-dir/.'.  Now, it prints `symlink-to-dir@', (just
6742	like `ls -F symlink-to-dir') but with the addition of highlighting.
6743	Similarly, `ls --color -dF symlink-to-dir' would print
6744	`symlink-to-dir/';  now it prints `symlink-to-dir@'.
6745	Reported by Jeff Sheinberg as Debian bug #168203.
6746	* tests/ls-2/tests (sl-F-color, sl-dF-color): New tests for the above.
6747

6749	to stat each directory entry on systems with valid dirent.d_type.
6750	* src/ls.c (print_dir): Add DT_LNK and DT_REG.
6751	(main): Make --recursive set format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.

6753
67542002-11-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6755
6756	* src/du.c (du_files): Don't strip any trailing slash.
6757	Rewrite so that `/' is no longer represented internally as
6758	the empty string.
6759	(count_entry): When appending a file name component,
6760	account for the fact that the current path may end in `/'.
6761	François Pinard reported that `du symlink-to-dir/' was not
6762	equivalent to `du symlink-to-dir/.'.  Now it is.
6763	* tests/du/trailing-slash: New file/test, for the above fix.
6764	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add trailing-slash.
6765
67662002-11-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6767
6768	* src/tac.c (output): Declare some local variables to be of type size_t,

6772
6773	* src/ls.c (decode_switches): Use case-sensitive matching to
6774	decode the QUOTING_STYLE environment variable.  This is more
6775	consistent with the documentation, and with --quoting-style.
6776

6809
6810	* Makefile.maint (mail_gpg_sign_cookie): Make optional.
6811	(announcement): Use the new variable.
6812
6813	* Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
6814	(po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
6815	.c and the .h files that they generate.  This fixes the bug
6816	reported by Tim Van Holder in:
6817	<http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
6818	Look for N_ as well as for _.  Try to avoid matching #define for
6819	N_ and _.
6820	From Paul Eggert.

6844	Remove functions.
6845	(sighandler): New function, based on the one in sort.c.
6846	(main): Use sigaction, if possible; otherwise signal.
6847	Handle these signals:
6848	SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGPIPE, SIGQUIT, SIGTERM, SIGTSTP.
6849	Don't register our handler if the signal is already being ignored.
6850
6851	* src/dd.c (interrupt_handler): Use raise, rather than kill+getpid.
6852	* src/csplit.c (interrupt_handler): Likewise.
6853	* src/sort.c (sighandler): Likewise.

6881	* tests/misc/printf-hex: New file/test, for the above fix.
6882
68832002-10-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
6884
6885	Add support for locale-specific size indications (e.g.,
6886	thousands-separators) and for explicit size suffixes on output.
6887
6888	* doc/coreutils.texi (Block size): Say that:
6889	This affects display format as well as block size.
6890	Fractional block counts are rounded up.
6891	ls file size blocksize defaults to 1.
6892	A block size spec preceded by ' generates thousands separators.
6893	A suffix without a preceding integer generates suffixes.
6894	(tail invocation): 32k -> 32 KiB.
6895	(What information is listed): ls -h is now equivalent to
6896	ls --block-size=human, and ls -H is now equivalent to
6897	ls --block-size=si.  Displayed file size is now always affected by
6898	--block-size.
6899
6900	* lib/inttostr.c, lib/inttostr.h, lib/imaxtostr.c, lib/offtostr.c,

6911	human_base_1024, human_SI, human_B): New enum values.
6912	(human_readable): Rename from human_readable_inexact; put the
6913	options before the sizes.  All uses changed.  The old human_readable
6914	function has been removed; use inttostr.h instead.
6915	(human_options): Renamed from human_block_size, with new signature
6916	that allows block sizes up to UINTMAX_MAX.  All callers changed.
6917
6918	* m4/prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_HUMAN): Check for locale.h, localeconv,
6919	AC_HEADER_STDBOOL.  No need to check for limits.h since it's in
6920	freestanding C89.  No need to check for stdlib.h or string.h since
6921	autoconf does this now.
6922
6923	* src/cksum.c (cksum): Use primitives from inttostr.h, not
6924	human.h, to print large numbers simply.

6938	block sizes.  All uses changed.
6939	* src/du.c: Likewise.
6940	* src/ls.c: Likewise.
6941
6942	* src/df.c (print_header): In the header line, prefer SI to human
6943	representation if it's shorter; if neither is shorter, try to
6944	intuit what the user would prefer.

6947	function instead.

6952
6953	* src/shred.c (OUTPUT_BLOCK_SIZE): remove.
6954	(dopass): When printing progress, use floor for what has been done
6955	so far (since we should be conservative there), and ceiling for
6956	what needs to be done (since that's what other programs use).
6957
69582002-10-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6959
6960	* src/pinky.c (print_heading): Align TTY and Name headings.

6983	* src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ensure that the result is in [1..4MB].
6984	Reported by Petter Reinholdtsen.
6985
69862002-10-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
6987
6988	Specifying a printf conversion specifer as nl's separator string
6989	could cause nl to segfault.
6990	* src/nl.c (build_print_fmt): Don't include separator string
6991	in the printf format; it might contain `%'.
6992	Use a better bound on the length of the print_fmt buffer.
6993	(print_lineno): Print the separator here instead.
6994	Reported by Doug Coleman.
6995
6996	* tests/misc/nl: New file/tests, including a test for the above.

7015
7016	* src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Declare local, `delims_saved', to be
7017	of type size_t, since that's the way it's used and avoids a warning.
7018
7019	* src/csplit.c (struct cstring) [len]: Declare to be unsigned int,
7020	since that's how it's always used and avoids a new warning from gcc.
7021	(read_input): Adapt to new safe_read ABI.
7022
7023	* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Add a temporary size_t variable, n_bytes,
7024	to avoid warnings.
7025
7026	* src/pinky.c (print_long_entry): fread returns size_t.
7027	Declare local `bytes' accordingly, to avoid warning.
7028
7029	tail -c +N would perform an extra read after encountering EOF
7030	[this change is analogous (bytes vs. lines) to the one of 2002-01-27]
7031	* src/tail.c (start_bytes): Detect EOF, inform caller.
7032	(tail_bytes): Upon EOF in start_bytes, return immediately.
7033	(file_lines): Reorganize to use memrchr rather than an explicit loop.
7034	Adapt to new safe_read ABI.

7049	are not set (e.g., SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX).  Reported by Duncan Roe.

7051	* tests/tail-2/big-4gb: Mark this as an expensive test; it would
7052	consume 4GB of disk space on systems without support for sparse files.
7053	Fix a logic error that'd make it `cat err' even though dd didn't fail.
7054
7055	* src/dircolors.hin (.jar): Fix typo: s/;3$/;31/.
7056	Patch by steven@magelico.net, forwarded by Michael Stone.

7105
7106	* src/remove.c (remove_entry) [ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS]: With `rm -i DIR',

7108	Leonardo Milano.
7109
7110	* tests/rm/i-no-r: New file/test, for the above fix.
7111	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-no-r.

7134
71352002-09-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7136
7137	* src/csplit.c: Don't include stdlib.h here.  It's already included
7138	via system.h.
7139
71402002-09-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7141
7142	* src/tr.c (find_bracketed_repeat): Rearrange pointer/integer
7143	expression to avoid bogus warning from gcc.
7144

7149
7150	* src/tail.c (parse_options): Give a sensible diagnostic for

7152
7153	* src/touch.c (main): Split a long line.
7154
7155	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add slink.
7156	* tests/du/slink: New test for system.h change of 2002-08-31.
7157
7158	In move mode, always first try to rename.  Before, upon failure to
7159	rename a directory, this code would never attempt to rename any
7160	other file in that directory, but would thenceforth always copy.
7161	On some systems (e.g., NetApp's OnTap-6.4), renaming a directory
7162	may fail with EXDEV, yet renaming files within that directory to
7163	a newly-created destination directory succeeds.
7164	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove local, move_mode;
7165	use x->move_mode instead.  Based on a patch from Tom Haynes.
7166
71672002-09-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7168
7169	* src/split.c (FAIL_ONLY_ONE_WAY): New macro.

7172	[case 'a']: Use strtoul rather than strtol to avoid compiler warnings.
7173
7174	* src/sort.c (begfield, limfield): Rearrange comparisons to avoid
7175	compiler warnings.
7176	(fillbuf, keycompare): Cast literal `-1' to size_t in comparisons,
7177	to avoid compiler warnings.
7178
7179	* src/shred.c (dopass): Use a uintmax_t temporary to avoid bogus
7180	compiler warnings.
7181
7182	Fix things so `mkdir -p' can create very deep directories, e.g.,
7183	mkdir -p $(perl -e 'print "a/" x 40000') now works.
7184	* src/mkdir.c (main): For --parents (-p), call make_path with the
7185	entire directory name, so we don't ever require that file operations
7186	like stat or chmod be performed on the entire command line argument.
7187	* makepath.c (make_path): Restore umask *before* creating the final
7188	component.
7189

7202	and add a cast, to avoid a warning about `signed and unsigned type in
7203	conditional expression'.
7204
72052002-09-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7206
7207	* src/rmdir.c: Include "dirname.h", for declaration of
7208	strip_trailing_slashes.
7209
7210	* src/stat.c (PRIdMAX, PRIuMAX): Remove definitions.
7211	Now they're defined through system.h.
7212
7213	* src/cp-hash.c, src/dd.c, src/df.c, src/du.c, src/ls.c,
7214	* src/stat.c, src/wc.c: Remove all inclusions of inttypes.h,
7215	since it's already included from sys2.h via system.h.
7216
7217	* Use automake-1.6f.  Regenerate dependent files.
7218
7219	* src/Makefile.am (PERL): Remove duplicate definition.
7220
7221	fmt's -s, -t, -c options didn't work properly for long lines.
7222	Since get_line may end up calling put_paragraph (for long lines),
7223	be sure to set global, `other_indent', before it is used there.
7224
7225	* src/fmt.c (set_other_indent): New function, factored out of...
7226	(get_paragraph): ... here.  Call it.
7227	(get_line): Call set_other_indent before calling flush_paragraph,
7228	which calls fmt_paragraph, which in turn calls put_paragraph,
7229	which uses other_indent.
7230
7231	* tests/fmt/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-line.
7232	* tests/fmt/long-line: New file/test, for the above fix.
7233
72342002-09-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
7235

7261	Likewise for the o8 and u8 formats.
7262	* src/od.c (ISPEC_TO_FORMAT): Define macro.
7263	(decode_one_format): Use PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, etc. for LONG_LONG.
7264	Reported by Arun Sharma.

7374	* users.c, who.c: Change `error (1, ...' to `error (EXIT_FAILURE, ...'.
7375	But don't change `error (0, ...' to `error (EXIT_SUCCESS, ...', since

7379
7380	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Use closedir (not CLOSEDIR)
7381	when ignoring any return value.

7385	this appears to be necessary.
7386	(is_empty_dir): Likewise.  Also, always close directory handle.
7387	* src/ls.c (print_dir): Likewise.

7438	programs in ../src.
7439

74472002-08-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>
7448
7449	Fix some minor time-related bugs with POSIX time arguments.
7450	Some valid time stamps were being rejected (notably -1, and
7451	time stamps before 1900 on 64-bit hosts).  And some invalid
7452	time stamps were being accepted, e.g. September 31.

7481	* src/uniq.c: Include hard-locale.h, xmemcoll.h.
7482	(hard_LC_COLLATE): New var.
7483	(different): Args are now char *, not const char *.
7484	Use xmemcoll instead of memcmp to compare lines, so that
7485	LC_COLLATE has effect.  However, use memcmp if it is an
7486	easy locale.
7487	(check_file): Do not include newline in comparison, so that
7488	xmemcoll has a byte to stomp on temporarily.
7489	(main): Set hard_LC_COLLATE.
