* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Only reset the locale if it
was successfully set originally.
* tests/misc/seq-locale.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
bootstrap.conf: Explicitly depend on select, rather than transitively.

outside inotify contexts now.
* src/extract-magic: Treat android like linux,
which fixes the build by ensuring the constants are defined.
* src/stat.c: Support all constants on android, including
the android specific "sdcardfs".
* src/tail.c: Fix inclusion of statfs headers to be independent
of inotify availability, as fremote() is used on linux even
if inotify has been disabled. Also enable fremote() on android.
* NEWS: Mention the improvment.

These commands now accept floating-point numbers in the
current locale, as well as in the C locale.
Compatibility problem reported by Robert Elz.
* NEWS: Document this.

Problem reported by Robert Elz.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sleep invocation):
Say that arguments must be non-negative, which means they cannot
be arbitrary floating-point numbers. Mention POSIX, not
“historical implementations” that are no longer of practical
interest. List the extensions to POSIX.
* src/sleep.c (usage): Omit needless words, removing dubious
commentary about “most implementations” and incorrect commentary
about “arbitrary”. Details about exactly which numbers are
allowed can be found in the documentation.

Fail developer builds if VLAs are used,
as there are portability concerns to consider with them.
* configure.ac: Enable -Wvla which is implicit in the full list added.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Define GNULIB_NO_VLA which disables use of
VLAs within gnulib code.
When building against an incompatible GLIBC version compared to that
on the build host, then running the just-built binary might fail
although it is the same platform - thus CROSS_COMPILING is false.
As a result, generating the man pages fails.
* man/local.mk (.x.1): Add a check to verify that running the utility
with --help succeeds, otherwise falling back to using 'dummy-man'.
* src/ls.c (is_linked_directory): A new function to
also consider symlinked directories.
(main): Rename check_symlink_color to check_symlink_mode,
and enable that with --group-directories-first.

rather than just is_directory.

Note we don't use poll for all systems as the overhead
of adding the gnulib poll module wouldn't be worth it

* src/basenc.c (do_encode,do_decode): Allocate inbuf/outbuf using
xmalloc, and free if using LINT.
* src/system.h: Adjust lines containing URLs so that
they don't wrap on 80 column terminals. One could also
use .UR macros, but these aren't universally available.
Note the adjustments here need to be compatible with
the pattern matching done in help2man.

Problem reported for split by Scott Worley (Bug#33761):
* src/shred.c (do_wipefd):
Also report an error if ftruncate fails on a shared memory object.
* src/sort.c (get_outstatus): New function.
(stream_open, avoid_trashing_input): Use it.
* src/sort.c (stream_open):
* src/split.c (create):
If ftruncate fails, do not report an error
unless it is a regular file or a shared memory object.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the fix in commit 94d364f157.
While at it, remove duplicate "Changes in behavior" heading.
* tests/misc/sync.sh: Add a test with a write-only file for the fix.
Open a target directory and use its file descriptor in linkat,
symlinkat, etc. syscalls, instead of constructing long file names
by concatenating the target directory name to a basename.
This avoids O(N²) behavior with ‘ln F1 F2 ... Fn DIR’ when DIR is
a long file name with many slashes. It also avoids some races if
DIR is renamed while ln is running.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add openat-safer.
* src/ln.c: Include fcntl-safer.h.
(O_PATHSEARCH): New constant.
(errno_nonexisting, target_directory_operand): Remove; no longer used.

(do_link): New arg DEST_BASE. All uses changed.
(main): Open target directory and use its file descriptor
as DESTDIR_FD.
* src/echo.c (usage): Assert that STATUS is always EXIT_SUCCESS.
* tests/misc/echo.sh: Add further tests for all hex and escape and
escape characters.

Issue identified by Eric Blake.
Bash knows 'test -N FILE'. Add it to GNU 'test' as well.
* src/test.c (unary_operator): Add a case for 'N'.
(usage): Document it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (node File characteristic tests): Likewise.
* NEWS (New features): Likewise.
* tests/misc/test-N.sh: Add a test.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Reference it.
Remove the function 'test_unop', as the cases therein are redundant to
those handled by 'unary_operator'; exception: the cases 'o' and 'N':
they had been present in test_unop and handling the commands
test -N STR
test -o STR
and
test x = x -a -N STR
test x = x -a -o STR
which ran into an error later on anyway.
With this commit, the error diagnostic will change from ...
$ /usr/bin/test -N STR
/usr/bin/test: extra argument '-N'
$ /usr/bin/test -o STR
/usr/bin/test: extra argument '-o'
... to ...
$ src/test -N STR
src/test: '-N': unary operator expected
$ src/test -o STR
src/test: '-o': unary operator expected
* src/test.c (test_unop): Remove.
(unary_operator): Fail with test_syntax_error in the default case.
(term): Directly call unary_operator.
(two_arguments): Likewise.
* tests/misc/test-diag.pl: Adjust error diagnostic.
* src/test.c (unary_operator): Remove case 'a'.
(test_unop): Likewise.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Document the change.

On my openSUSE:Tumbleweed system, I get a false positive test failure
in the above 'check-root' test because the group lists inside and
outside the chroot have a different order:
++ chroot --userspec=berny / id -G
++ id -G berny
+ test '100 454 457 480 492' = '100 480 492 457 454'
+ fail=1
* tests/misc/chroot-credentials.sh (num_sort): Add function to sort
group lists, and use it in the test cases which test multiple groups.
Previously, 'ln A B' did 'stat("B"), lstat("A"), link("A","B")'
where the stat and lstat were necessary to avoid hard-linking
directories on systems that can hard-link directories.
Now, in situations that prohibit hard links to directories,
'ln A B' merely does 'link("A","B")'. The new behavior
avoids some races and should be more efficient.
This patch was inspired by Bug#10020, which was about 'ln'.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add unlinkdir.
* src/force-link.c (force_linkat, force_symlinkat): New arg for
error number of previous try. Return error number, 0, or -1 if
error, success, or success after removal. All callers changed.
* src/ln.c: Include priv-set.h, unlinkdir.h.
(beware_hard_dir_link): New static var.
(errnoize, atomic_link): New functions.
(target_directory_operand): Use errnoize for simplicity.
(do_link): New arg for error number of previous try. All callers
changed. Do each link atomically if possible.
(main): Do -r check earlier. Remove linkdir privileges so we can
use a single linkat/symlinkat instead of a racy substitute for the
common case of 'ln A B' and 'ln -s A B'. Set beware_hard_dir_link
to disable this optimization.
$ id root nobody
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
uid=99(nobody) gid=99(nobody) groups=99(nobody)
* src/id.c (main): Make variables opt_zero, just_group_list,
just_group, use_real, just_user global to be used in a new
function.
(print_stuff): New function that will print user and group
information for the specified USER.
When using -G option delimit each record with two NULs.
Restructure the code in the file to have global variables
followed by functions.
* tests/id/zero.sh: Add test cases to check the usage
of -z option with multiple users.
* tests/id/uid.sh: Add a test case to ensure all users
are queried in the presence of errors.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document the interface changes.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* doc/coreutils.texi (csplit invocation): Detail the behavior
with regexp patterns and negative offsets, which differs from
line number patterns, to avoid looping on the input. For example:
$ seq 50 | csplit -s - /15/-5 /12/
csplit: ‘/12/’: match not found
* doc/coreutils.texi (csplit invocation): Clarify that
portions of the input may be skipped and thus the input
may not be reproducible by just concatenating the output files.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/32317
This improves on the earlier fix for the problem reported by
Chih-Hsuan Yen (Bug#32236), by also looking for other control
characters and for encoding errors.
* src/df.c: Include wchar.h and wctype.h instead of c-ctype.h.
(hide_problematic_chars): Process the string as multibyte.
Use iswcntrl, not c_iscntrl.
