Document the exit status of each and every program.
Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
The sentence or two describing the common case must appear just once,
and then it must be made to appear in the 70+ places where it's needed.
du: rewrite to use something other than nftw to perform directory traversal.
Due to design limitations of nftw, ...
using -D makes du dereference each command
line argument that is a symlink to a directory.
A symlink to non-directory is not dereferenced.
cp --recursive: perform dir traversals in source and dest hierarchy rather
than forming full file names. The latter (current) approach fails
unnecessarily when the names become very long.
`tail --follow=name --retry' should elicit a diagnostic, since no file name
was specified.
du and wc: add an option to make them read NUL-delimited
du and wc: add an option, --from0-file, to make them read NUL-delimited
file name arguments from a file.
du: warn that -H is going to change to POSIX meaning (not --si)
tail --p is now ambiguous
patch from Olivier Delhomme
du: add option to use \0 as line terminator rather than \n so that
tools like xdiskusage that parse du output don't choke on file names
with embedded newlines.
Remove suspicious uses of alloca (ones that may allocate more than
about 4k)
Move help2man from man/ to config?
Make the default _POSIX2_VERSION= setting be configure-time selectable
as well as run-time selectable.
