6c32aa26a2
wc count field widths now are heuristically adjusted depending
...
on the input size, if known. If only one count is printed, it
is guaranteed to be printed without leading spaces.
Previously, wc did not align the count fields if
POSIXLY_CORRECT was set, but POSIX did not actually require
this undesirable behavior, so it has been removed.
* doc/coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Likewise.
2003-07-20 15:24:21 +00:00
7bb7cd570a
(expr invocation): Exit status is 2 if the

expression is syntactically invalid, 3 if there is some other error.

Use "repeated" rather than "duplicate" to describe adjacent

output of lines, rather than cause some lines to be output.

c6f5b4e383
Add support for locale-specific size indications (e.g.,
...
thousands-separators) and for explicit size suffixes on output.
(Block size): Say that:
This affects display format as well as block size.
Fractional block counts are rounded up.
ls file size blocksize defaults to 1.
A block size spec preceded by ' generates thousands separators.
A suffix without a preceding integer generates suffixes.
(tail invocation): 32k -> 32 KiB.
(What information is listed): ls -h is now equivalent to
ls --block-size=human, and ls -H is now equivalent to
ls --block-size=si. Displayed file size is now always affected by
--block-size.
