a+s versus +s, and likewise for g+s.
(Numeric Modes): Bring back example of 0055 == 55. 4755 no
longer clears setgid bit on directories.
(Directory Setuid and Setgid): Numeric modes now affect setuid
and setgid on directories only if they set these bits. This
is so that leading 0 has no effect on numeric modes.
than having the code test for all of the other types first.
Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
* doc/coreutils.texi (What information is listed): Mention that missing
pieces of information are marked with "?". From Paul Eggert.
of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
changing their owner or group.
setuid and setgid bits on directories.
(Changing Special Mode Bits): Mention that a implies both u and g
for s. Cross reference to new node.
(Numeric Modes): Don't claim that 0055 is the same as 55; this isn't
true any more. Mention new node.
4755 is now like u=rwxs,go=rx,g-s, not like u=rwxs,go=rx.
(Directory Setuid and Setgid): New node.
Use "set-user-ID" and "set-group-ID" a bit more consistently.
Use "appropriate privileges" rather than "super-user" a bit
more consistently.
(install invocation): Parent directories are now 755 without uid
or gid changing. The default mode is now 0755, not 755.
(mkdir invocation): Rewrite the top-level usage description, since
I couldn't easily follow the old one. It's now 3 lines not 8.
For -m, describe file permission bits versus other bits, and note
that mkdir is atomic if you don't mention special bits.
(chmod invocation): Mention what chmod does to setgid and setuid bits.
information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers.
You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623',
for example, since the default format now has the same effect.
seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
internally rather than double. It now defaults to a minimal fixed
point format if possible. It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
Don't assume printf doesn't work for numbers that fit in 64 but
not 32 bits; typically they work these days. Improve discussion
of large integers and update the rounding-error numbers.
