* src/dd.c (main): Reduce the scope of exit_status. Exit immediately if
ftruncate fails.
* tests/dd/fail-ftruncate-fstat.sh: New test.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Map md5sum and sha{1,224,256,385,512} to use cksum logic,
which selects appropriate behavior at runtime, rather than
separate binaries for each closely related utility.

* build-aux/gen-single-binary.sh: Map sha*sum to use cksum.c
* src/cksum.c: Adjust to behave more like sha*sum,
when the algorithm to something other than "crc".
* src/cksum.h: Expose the cksum_algorithm global and enum.
* src/coreutils-md5sum.c: Set cksum_algorithm and call cksum logic.
* src/coreutils-sha1sum.c: Likewise.
* src/coreutils-sha224sum.c Likewise.
* src/coreutils-sha256sum.c Likewise.
* src/coreutils-sha384sum.c Likewise.
* src/coreutils-sha512sum.c Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
In some cases 'pinky' could run forever until interrupted:
$ ln -s /dev/zero ~/.plan
$ ln -s /dev/zero ~/.project
$ timeout -v 5 pinky -l collin > /dev/full
timeout: sending signal TERM to command ‘pinky’
After this change it will exit upon failing to write to standard output:
$ timeout -v 5 ./src/pinky -l collin > /dev/full
pinky: write error: No space left on device
* src/pinky.c: Include fadvise.h, filenamecat.h, full-write.h, and
ioblksize.h.
(cat_file): New function.
(print_entry): Check if standard output has it's error flag set after
printing a user entry.
(print_long_entry): Likewise. Use the new cat_file function.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
POSIX.1-2024 added sig2str but leaves the behavior when called with
signal 0 unspecified. FreeBSD 15.0 does not return the signal name EXIT
like Gnulib's version causing a test failure. This fixes that and
changes the behavior to print 0 instead of EXIT, to avoid confusion when
the program does not exit.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* src/timeout.c (cleanup): Use snprintf instead of sig2str if the signal
is 0.
* tests/timeout/timeout.sh: Updated the expected output.
* NEWS: Remove mention about old fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils NEWS
files that were removed in commit 2c64bc872 (doc: only distribute 5
years of ChangeLogs, 2017-01-31).
* cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Run 'make update-NEWS-hash'.
* src/timeout.c (main): Use PR_SET_PDEATHSIG to ensure the
child is terminated even if the parent terminates abnormally.
* tests/timeout/timeout-group.sh: Add a case to ensure sending
SIGKILL results in the termination of the monitored command.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
The --apparent-size option to 'du' was added in
coreutils-4.5.8 (2003). FreeBSD 8.0 (2009) added the same functionality
under the short option -A. This long option previously had no short
option, so this patch adds -A to be compatible with FreeBSD.
* NEWS: Mention the new short option.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document the short option.
* src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
(APPARENT_SIZE_OPTION): Remove definition.
(EXCLUDE_OPTION): Define to CHAR_MAX + 1.
(long_options): Use the -A short option for --apparent-size.
(main): Likewise.
* tests/du/apparent.sh: Test that '-b', '-A -B 1', and
'--apparent-size --block-size 1' function the same.
* build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: kill and uptime are not installed
by arch, debian, fedora, suse at least, so add to disabled list.
Fixes https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/132
* NEWS: Mention the build change.
Fix du and ls to conform to the POSIX getenv spec,
which says you can’t modify strings returned by getenv
unless you put the string there directly, or used putenv.
This portability bug was found by strict C23 checking
using qualifier-generic functions.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xmemdup0. Sort.
* src/du.c (main):
* src/ls.c (decode_switches):
Don’t modify the string that getenv returns.
Instead, use xmemdup0 if needed, and include xmemdup0.h.
This behavior was depended on in our trap_sigpipe_or_skip_ helper,
and now that we're handling all terminating signals, we should
consistently honor their ignored signal dispositions.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior, especially in regard
to shell background jobs.
* src/timeout.c (sig_needs_handling): A new helper that return TRUE,
for --signal, SIG_ALRM, or non ignored signals.
(cleanup_install): Filter handled signals with the helper.
(block_cleanup_and_chld): Likewise.
* tests/timeout/timeout-group.sh: Adjust to use the now required
`env --default-signal=...` wrapper to reset (auto) ignored signals.
Also change the termination signal from SIGINT to SIGUSR1
to generalize the test signals not specially handled by the shell,
and newly handled by timeout(1).
* tests/timeout/timeout.sh: Add a test case for SIGPIPE
to ensure the ignored signal disposition is honored.
* src/timeout.c (term_sig): A new global list of all signals
whose default disposition is to terminate the process.
(install_cleanup): Iterate over the TERM_SIG list, rather than
installing the handler for a specific subset.
(block_cleanup_and_chld): Likewise.
* tests/timeout/timeout.sh: Add a test case for SIGPIPE.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* Makefile.am: Use ln rather than $(LN_S) for hardlinks.
* configure.ac: Accept --enable-single-binary=hardlinks.
* man/local.mk: In hardlink mode, explicitly add the
hardlink creation rule to mandeps. Given the automake
generated dependency chain, this ensures that the hardlinks
are created _after_ the multicall binary, with `make all`
or `make check` etc.
* src/local.mk: Define the new src/coreutils_hardlinks rule,
and only depend on src/coreutils_{symlinks,shebangs} if
in those modes, so that hardlinks are created _after_
the multicall binary, and other link types before.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
Addresses https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/129
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Describe --debug.
* src/tail.c (tail_forever, tail_forever_inotify): Output
which --follow implementation is being used.
* tests/tail/debug.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
Note the use of "rt" is non-standard, but we're restricting
its use here to systems that define O_BINARY, which should
invariably support "rt" mode.
* src/digest.c (): Where significant, explicitly use "rt" mode
with --text, as MSYS2 defaults to binary mode for fopen'd files
(though not for standard streams).
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Fixes https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/123
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/nice.c (MIN_ADJUSTMENT): Set to 0 on the Hurd with glibc ≤ 2.42.
(MAX_ADJUSTMENT): Set to (2 * NZERO - 2) on the Hurd with glibc ≤ 2.42.
(main): Clamp the niceness to be greater or equal to MIN_ADJUSTMENT and
less than or equal to MAX_ADJUSTMENT.
* tests/nice/nice.sh: Add some tests for the Hurd's ranges.
This improvement is due to changes to Gnulib's fprintftime module.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* src/getlimits.c (OFF64_T_MAX, OFF64_T_MIN): New macros.
(main): Print them.
* tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Call getlimits_. Add a date invocation.
* src/local.mk: Revert v9.7-322-gc2e1816a5, instead relying
on the more focused v9.8-79-g532cd66af. When built with
--disable-nls on macOS this will result in only some commands
being linked with INTL_MACOSX_LIBS, thus resulting in env(1)
at least not setting a __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING envirnoment variable.
* src/copy-file-data.c (infer_scantype): Fall back to a plain copy
if SEEK_HOLE indicates non-sparse, as zero copy avoids copy offload.
This was seen with transparently compressed files on OpenZFS.
* tests/cp/sparse-perf.sh: Add a test case even though it might
only trigger on compressed file systems that don't support reflink.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Addresses https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/122
* NEWS: Remove timeout from the list of programs that use posix_spawn.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove posix_spawnattr_setsigmask.
* src/timeout.c: Don't include spawn.h.
(main): Use fork and execvp instead of posix_spawn.
This reverts commit dac96ce3e3.
* NEWS: Mention that we don't fall-back to executing /bin/sh <script>
for malformed scripts that don't start with #!..., or any executable
that returns ENOEXEC in general.
* src/sort.c (main): Ignore SIGPIPE so we've more control over
how we handle for stdout and compression programs.
(sort_die): Handle EPIPE from stdout and mimic a standard SIGPIPE,
otherwise reverting to a standard exit(SORT_FAILURE);
* tests/sort/sort-compress-proc.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement. Consolidate the posix_spawn
improvements into one item.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add posix_spawnattr_setsigmask.
* src/timeout.c: Include spawn.h.
(main): Setup signals using a posix_spawnattr_t object. Use posix_spawn
instead of fork and execvp.
The build can be force enabled with --with-selinux and vice versa.
* build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: Move chcon and runcon
to the list of optional programs.
* configure.ac: Only enable chcon and runcon if selinux.h is available.
* NEWS: Mention the Build-related change.
Fixes https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/121
* NEWS: Mention the improvement. Mention that 'sort' will continue
without compressing temporary files if the program specified by
--compress-program cannot be executed.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document the behavior when the
program specified by --compress-program cannot be executed.
* src/sort.c: Include spawn.h.
(MAX_FORK_TRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_TRIES_DECOMPRESS): Remove definition.
(MAX_TRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_TRIES_DECOMPRESS): New definitions based on
MAX_FORK_TRIES_COMPRESS and MAX_FORK_TRIES_DECOMPRESS.
(async_safe_die): Remove function.
(posix_spawn_file_actions_move_fd): New function.
(pipe_fork): Remove function.
(pipe_child): New function based on pipe_fork. Return an error number
instead of a pid. Use posix_spawnp instead of calling fork and expecting
the caller to exec.
(maybe_create_temp): Call pipe_child instead of pipe_fork. Print a
warning to standard error if --compress-program cannot be executed and
the error is different than the previous call. Remove code for the child
process.
(open_temp): Remove code for the child process. Improve error message.
* tests/sort/sort-compress.sh: Add a test case for when the program
specified by --compress-program does not exist.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add posix_spawn,
posix_spawnattr_setsigdefault, posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose,
posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2, and posix_spawn_file_actions_init.
* src/split.c: Include spawn.h.
(create): Use posix_spawn instead of fork and execl.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* src/fmt.c (put_line): Exit if any error writing line.
(flush_paragraph): Exit if any error writing buffer.
* tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Enable the (flush_paragraph) test case,
and add another to check the put_line() case.
* src/numfmt.c (process line): Inspect the stdio error state when
outputting each line so that we don't have to check each output function
but do eventually exit upon write error, while also remaining buffered.
(main): Also check when outputting a header for the edge case
of very long headers.
* tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Enable the numfmt test case.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement, and reorganize all numfmt improvements.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add posix_spawnattr_destroy,
posix_spawnattr_init, posix_spawnattr_setflags, and posix_spawnp.
* src/install.c (strip): Use posix_spawnp instead of fork and execlp.
* bootstrap.conf: Depend on mbsstr() to robustly search for a
multi-byte delimiter character (string) within a multi-byte string.
* src/numfmt.c (main): Accept a valid multi-byte delimiter character.
(next_field): Adjust delimiter search from single byte
to multi-byte aware. Use mbsstr to find the first match.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Add test case.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* src/numfmt.c (process_line): Restore byte overwritten with NUL,
as it may be part of a multi-byte blank.
(process_suffixed_number): Skip multi-byte blanks,
and correctly determine width with mbswidth().
(parse_format_string): Use c_isblank() to explicitly
indicate that's all the format spec supports.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Add test cases.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Output, accept, or disallow a string between the number and unit
as recommended in <https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/checklist.html>
I.e. support outputting numbers of the form: "1234 M"
* src/numfmt.c (simple_strtod_human): Skip unit separator if present,
or disallow a unit separator if empty.
(double_to_human): Output unit separator if specified.
(main): Accept --unit-separator.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Add test cases.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Describe the new option,
giving examples of interaction with --delimiter.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* THANKS.in: Add Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues,
who provided a preliminary patch.
This does not validate grouping character placement,
and currently just ignores grouping characters.
* src/numfmt.c (simple_strtod_int): Skip grouping chars
that are part of a number.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Add test cases.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* src/numfmt.c (simple_strtod_human): Accept (multi-byte)
non-breaking space character between number and unit.
Note we restrict this to a single character between number
and unit, to allow less ambiguous parsing if multiple blanks
are used to delimit fields.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Add test cases.
* doc/coreutils.texi (numfmt invocation): Fix stale description
--delimiter skipping whitespace.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* src/digest.c (split_3): Fallback to untagged matching in the
case where -a is specified and we have matched a TAG in
the possibly base64 data. This might happen in 1 in every 64K files.
Note we remove the modification of string S (and redundant streq) in
the tag matching, as that was not needed since v8.32-223-g217cd278e.
* tests/cksum/cksum-c.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/digest.c (sha2_sum_stream): Change from unreachable()
to affirm() so that we have defined behavior unless
we configure with --disable-assert.
(sha3_sum_stream): Likewise.
(split_3): Validate SHA2-lengths before passing on.
* tests/cksum/cksum-c.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/digest.c (split_3): Look up the provided tag with -a sha2
because there is not a 1:1 mapping between them.
* tests/cksum/cksum-c.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/remove.c (rm_fts): When not recursive,
arrange for ‘rm -d DIR’ to behave more like ‘rmdir DIR’.
This works better for Ceph snapshot directories.
Problem reported by Yannick Le Pennec (bug#78245).
