Problem reported by Sworddragon (Bug#51345).
* src/dd.c (cleanup): Synchronize output unless dd has been interrupted.
(synchronize_output): New function, split out from dd_copy.
Update conversions_mask so synchronization is done at most once.
(main): Do not die with the output file open, since we want to be
able to synchronize it before exiting. Synchronize output before
exiting.
Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
mainly to get updated copyright year
* doc/fdl.texi: Sync from gnulib.
* .gitignore: Add lib/unictype, as bitmap.h therein is depended on
since gnulib commit f698ea71
* NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi (Options for date): Mention this.
* src/date.c (RESOLUTION_OPTION): New constant.
(DEBUG_DATE_PARSING_OPTION): Rename from DEBUG_DATE_PARSING.
All uses changed.
(long_options, usage, main): Support --resolution.
* NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi: Mention this.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gettime-res.
* src/date.c (res_width, adjust_resolution): New functions.
(main): Adjust %-N to be %9N, or whatever, before using it.
Living so close to Hollywood I know that "colorize"
means adding color to something that was already monochrome,
whereas "color" means to give color to something.
Coreutils apps color text instead of colorizing it.
* src/echo.c (usage): Say printf(1) is preferred
due to being more standard and robust.
* man/echo.x [SEE ALSO]: Reference printf(1).
* doc/coreutils.texi (echo invocation): Mention in the
summary that echo is not robust when outputting
any string, and that printf is preferred.
Also expand on the examples showing how to
output a single '-n' string.
Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/51311
* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Clarify
that -k is ignored if either its duration or the
main timeout duration is 0.
Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/51128
* src/timeout.c (main): Propagate the killed status from the child.
* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Remove the
description of the --foreground specific handling of SIGKILL,
now that it's consistent with the default mode of operation.
* tests/misc/timeout.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/51135
* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Add detail on
how --foreground allows timeout(1) to use more standard
exit status as the uncatchable SIGKILL is not sent to itself.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/51135
* doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation - general output formatting):
The option ordering was not changed when the option was renamed
from --null to --zero.
* src/digest.c: Allow using the --untagged option with --check,
so that `cksum -a md5 --untagged` used to emulate md5sum for example,
may be augmented with the --check option. Also support the --tag
option with cksum, to allow overriding a previous --untagged setting.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Adjust accordingly.
* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Likewise.
Support checksum files with CRLF line endings,
which is a common gotcha for using --check on windows,
or with checksum files generated on windows.
Note we escape \r here to support the original coreutils format
(with file name at EOL), and file names with literal
\r characters as the last character of their name.
* src/digest.c (filename_unescape): Convert \\r -> \r.
(print_filename): Escape \r -> \\r.
(output_file): Detect \r chars in file names.
(digest_check): Ignore literal \r char at EOL.
* tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Add a test case.
* tests/misc/sha1sum.pl: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
This only practically matters on windows.
But given there are separate text handling options in cygwin,
keep the interface simple, and avoid exposing the
confusing binary/text difference here.
* doc/coreutils.texi (md5sum invocation): Mention that
--binary and --text are not supported by the cksum command.
* src/digest.c: Set flag to use binary mode by default.
(output_file): Don't distinguish text and binary modes with
' ' and '*', and just use ' ' always.
This format is a better default, since it results in simpler usage,
as you don't need to specify --tag on generation or -a on
checking invocations. Also it's a more general format supporting
mixed and length adjusted digests.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cksum invocation): Document a new --untagged
option, to use the older coreutils format.
(md5sum invocation): Mention that cksum doesn't support --tag.
* src/digest.c: Adjust cksum(1) to default to --tag,
and accept the new --untagged option.
* tests/misc/b2sum.sh: Adjust accordingly.
* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/cksum-c.sh: Likewise.
Support `cksum --check FILE` without having to specify a digest
algorithm, allowing for more generic file check instructions.
This also supports mixed digest checksum files, supporting
more robust multi digest checks.
* src/digest.c (algorithm_from_tag): A new function to
identify the digest algorithm from a tagged format line.
(split3): Set the algorithm depending on tag, and update
the expected digest length accordingly.
* tests/misc/cksum-c.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Adjust to more generic error.
* tests/misc/sha1sum.pl: Likewise.
* doc/coreutils.texi (md5sum invocation): Mention the new -c feature.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
Add message digest sm3, which uses the OSCCA SM3 secure
hash (OSCCA GM/T 0004-2012 SM3) generic hash transformation.
* bootstrap.conf: Add the sm3 module.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Mention the cksum -a option.
* src/digest.c: Provide support for --algorithm='sm3'.
* tests/misc/sm3sum.pl: Add a new test (from Tianjia Zhang)
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
Tested-by: Tianjia Zhang <tianjia.zhang@linux.alibaba.com>
* src/digest.c: Organize HASH_ALGO_CKSUM to be table driven,
and amalgamate all digest algorithms.
(main): Parse all options if HASH_ALGO_CKSUM, and disallow
--tag, --zero, and --check with the traditional bsd, sysv, and crc
checksums for now.
* src/local.mk: Reorganize to include all digest modules in cksum.
* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/misc/b2sum.sh: Update to default to checking with cksum,
as b2sum's implementation diverges a bit from the others.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cksum invocation): Adjust the summary to
identify the new mode, and document the new --algorithm option.
* man/cksum.x: Adjust description to be more general.
* man/*sum.x: Add [See Also] section referencing cksum(1).
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
This should have been part of commit v8.32-113-gb73b9fcb1
* doc/coreutils.texi (cksum invocation): Add the --debug description.
* src/cksum.c (usage): Likewise.
(main): Also give explicit indication when using generic hardware.
* doc/coreutils.texi (whoami invocation): Clarify it prints names,
not numeric IDs.
* man/whoami.x: Likewise.
* man/logname.x: Reference getlogin(3).
* src/logname.c: Clarify that it prints the login name,
rather than the name of the effective user ID.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/48894
Adjust to output the file name if any name parameter is passed.
This is consistent with sum -s, cksum, and sum implementations
on other platforms. This should not cause significant compat
issues, as multiple fields are already output, and so already
need to be parsed.
* src/sum.c (bsd_sum_file): Output the file name
if any name parameter is passed.
* tests/misc/sum.pl: Adjust accordingly.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sum invocation): Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tr invocation): Provide a summary
list of the available options, which is useful to
provide a quick reminder for those already familiar
with the functionality of tr.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/49764
In documentation and comments, don’t assume that secondary storage
devices are disk devices. Similarly, don’t assume that main memory
uses magnetic cores, which became obsolete in the 1970s.
* src/du.c (usage):
* src/ls.c (usage):
* src/shred.c (usage): Reword to avoid “disk” in usage messages.
* doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Document implementation more
closely. Be more consistent about style. Omit some needless words.
* src/ls.c (usage): Don’t overdocument -f, as the details were wrong.
Omit -1 advice as it’s a bit obsolete now that we have --zero and
is a bit much for --usage output anyway.
* NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi (General output formatting):
* src/ls.c (usage):
Document this.
* src/ls.c (ZERO_OPTION): Rename from NULL_OPTION.
All uses changed.
(long_options): Rename --null to --zero.
(dired_dump_obstack, main, print_dir): Use '\n' instead of
eolbyte where eolbyte must equal '\n'.
(decode_switches): Decode --zero instead of --null.
--zero also implies -1, -N, --color=none, --show-control-chars.
Use easier-to-decipher code to set ‘format’ and ‘dired’.
Reject attempts to combine --dired and --zero.
* tests/local.mk: Adjust to test script renaming.
* tests/ls/zero-option.sh: Rename from tests/ls/null-option.sh,
and test --zero instead of --null.
In preparation for changing the default device number
representation (to decomposed decimal), provide more
formatting options for device numbers.
These new (FreeBSD compat) formatting options are added:
%Hd major device number in decimal (st_dev)
%Ld minor device number in decimal (st_dev)
%Hr major device type in decimal (st_rdev)
%Lr minor device type in decimal (st_rdev)
%r (composed) device type in decimal (st_rdev)
%R (composed) device type in hex (st_rdev)
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Document new formats.
* src/stat.c (print_it): Handle the new %H and %L modifiers.
(print_statfs): Adjust to passing the format as two chars
rather than an int. Using an int was introduced in commit db42ae78,
but using separate chars is cleaner and more extensible.
(print_stat): Likewise. Handle any modifiers and the new 'r' format.
(usage): Document the new formats.
* tests/misc/stat-fmt.sh: Add a test case for new modifiers.
Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/48960
* doc/coreutils.texi (ln invocation): State --symbolic is required.
* src/ln.c (usage): Explicitly state -s is not implied.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/47703
* src/wc.c (usage): State that only printable characters are considered
when counting words. This also disambiguates wether we're talking
about bytes or characters in this context.
* doc/coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Likewise. Also clarify
that --characters counts valid locale aware characters,
and that --lines does not count a trailing "line" unless
it ends with a newline character.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/47702
This helps identify the outliers for long filenames, and also produces
a more compact display of columns when listing a directory with many
entries of various widths.
* src/ls.c (sort_type, sort_types, sort_width): New sort_width sort
type.
(sort_args): Add "width" sort arg.
(cmp_width, fileinfo_width): New sort function and helper for file name
width.
(quote_name_width): Add function prototype declaration.
(usage): Document --sort=width option.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document --sort=width option.
* tests/ls/sort-width-option.sh: New test for --sort=width option.
* tests/local.mk: Reference new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
The diacrit module is obsolete, and ptx’s use of it is obsolete
too; it assumes an 8-bit locale (not that common these days) and
that TeX cannot process the 8-bit characters (nowadays, it can).
* NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi (Charset selection in ptx): Document this.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove diacrit.
* src/ptx.c: Do not include diacrit.h.
(print_field, fix_output_parameters): Remove obsolete support
for 8-bit diacritics.
- \r\n is common a line end combination
- catting such a file without options causes it to display normally
- overwriting the first char with $, loses info
* src/cat.c (cat): Convert \r preceeding a \n to ^M.
* tests/misc/cat-E.sh: New test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference new test.
* tests/misc/cat-proc.sh: Fix typo.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cat invocation): Mention the new behavior.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Fix regexp cross-reference that had become
out-of-date (Bug#45749). Also, fix some obsolete references to
SunOS and to /usr/dict/words, and change “Linux” to “GNU/Linux”
where appropriate. Unfortunately the pipeline example gets more
complicated since /usr/share/dict/words is not sorted the way that
‘comm’ wants.
This file is a copy from gnulib and therefore should not get changed
by the yearly update.
* .x-update-copyright: Add pattern for the above file.
* doc/fdl.texi: Revert the previous change.
Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
* doc/coreutils.texi (seq invocation): Mention "inf" is supported,
and describe that it's handled specially to generate infinite
whole integer sequences. Also mention that such infinite generation
is supported for integer steps up to 200.
(sleep invocation): Give `sleep inf` as an example to sleep forever.
* src/seq.c: Add a comment on SEQ_FAST_STEP_LIMIT, to say it's
reflected in the texinfo description.
Chris Colohan wrote that the man page did not do enough to dispel
a common misunderstanding that “contributed to one of the scariest
outages Google has ever seen” (Bug#45258).
* doc/coreutils.texi (mkdir invocation):
* src/mkdir.c (usage): Document -m vs -p better.
* doc/coreutils.texi (nl invocation): Mention the GNU extensions
of allowing arbitrary length and empty delimiter strings.
* src/nl.c (usage): Likewise.
* tests/misc/nl.sh: Add test cases for the GNU extensions.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Mention explicitly
that --general-numeric-sort supports arbitrary format hex numbers,
but also mention that consistent case/width hex numbers can
be sorted faster with a standard sort.
