* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Say that dd prints stats
upon normal termination and upon SIGINT.
Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* doc/coreutils.texi (mv invocation): Adjust the warning: moving a
dir-symlink-specified-with-a-trailing-slash works in a surprising
manner only on some systems. Reported by Tomas Pospisek in
http://bugs.debian.org/343652.
* doc/Makefile.am (sc-exponent-grouping):
(syntax_checks): New variable.
(sc-avoid-io, sc-avoid-non-zero, sc-avoid-timezone):

(check-texinfo): Depend on $(syntax_checks).
* NEWS: Mention this change.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new behavior.
* src/copy.c: No longer include "canonicalize.h".
(copy_reg): Upon failure to open a dangling destination symlink, don't
canonicalize the name, but rather fail (default) or, with POSIXLY_CORRECT,
repeat the open call without O_EXCL (potentially dangerous).
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [open_dangling_dest_symlink]:
New member. Reorder the others, grouping "bool" and "enum"
members together.
* tests/cp/thru-dangling: Test for changed and new behavior.
* src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Initialize new member.
* src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.

* doc/coreutils.texi (date invocation):
`man date` gives all options for the date command except
the description of the date input formats. Therefore it
should be easy to browse to this info using `info date`.

file argument handling and special handling of - argument.

Here's a patch along the lines of
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10849/focus=10857>.
It's a bit large since it changes the test cases to match the behavior,
and the test cases' file names depend on the behavior!
* NEWS: pr -F no longer suppresses the footer or the first two blank
lines in the header.
* doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Likewise. Also, a too-short
page length implies -t, not -T.
* src/pr.c (lines_per_header, lines_per_footer): Now constants.
(init_parameters): Don't try to change them.
(print_header): Use the same header and footer format regardless of
wither form feeds are being used.
(usage): Adjust to above change when describing too-short page length.
Too-short page length impliesy -t, not -T.
* tests/pr/2-S_f-t_notab: Adjust to the fact that -F now affects
only formfeed handling; it does not change the header.
* tests/pr/2-Sf-t_notab: Likewise.
...
* tests/pr/3-5l17f-t: Remove, since it's been renamed to another
file whose name has a line count 7 larger,
reflecting the new line count needed for this behavior.
* tests/pr/3a3l8f-t: Likewise.
...
* tests/pr/w72l24f-ll: Likewise.

where it would not print the desired last number.
* doc/coreutils.texi (seq invocation): Remove advice about workaround
for seq off-by-one problem, since the bug is fixed now. Replace
it with more-generic advice about rounding errors.
* src/seq.c (long_double_format, print_numbers):
New arg NUMERIC_FORMAT. All uses changed.
* NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the
same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the
followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created
file is affected, rather than the symlink. Use O_NOFOLLOW on
source when not dereferencing symlinks; this avoids a race.
Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the
destination.
(copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a
regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the
destination first, regardless of whether following source
symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g.,
FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if
the system calls would ordinarily do so.
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference'
is only for source files.
* src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for
source files.
(make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether
--dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks.
* tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior.
Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host.
Use sed alone instead of also using echo.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the behavior better when
the destination is a symlink. Clarify source versus destination
symlinks. Describe the new behavior for destination symlinks.
2007-06-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/copy.c: Include "canonicalize.h".
(copy_reg): Use canonicalize_filename_mode to follow the symlink,
so that we can always open with O_EXCL and avoid a race.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cat invocation): "Blank" lines actually mean
empty lines.
* src/cat.c (usage): Say that "nonblank" means nonempty. Clarify
--squeeze-blank.
* doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): Mention that -h and
--human-readable are equivalent to --block-size=human-readable.
Documentation problem reported by Steve Ward in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-06/msg00007.html>.
(du invocation): Use optSi rather than duplicating the macro's
contents (incorrectly, since we claimed a "B" was output).
* Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check for an up-to-date
copyright year in doc/$().texi, if that file exists.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Add 2007 to list of Copyright years.
Reported by Karl Berry.
* NEWS: Mention uniq's new option: --zero-terminated (-z).
* src/uniq.c: Add new option, --zero-terminated (-z), to make
uniq use the NUL byte as separator/delimiter rather than newline.
(check_file): Add a parameter: delimiter. Update caller.
Use readlinebuffer_delim in place of readlinebuffer everywhere.

(usage): Describe new option the same way sort does.
* doc/coreutils.texi (uniq invocation): Describe the new option.

* doc/coreutils.texi (od invocation, head invocation, tail invocation):
Document support for new size suffixes.

Prompted by a patch from Evan Hunt.
* coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Explain numeric sorts better.
Compress self-congratulation into a simple "comparison is exact"
notice; the --general-numeric-sort option already explains the
tradeoffs.
(seq invocation): Add example of -f.
* NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.

* tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
reliable.
* src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
bug-coreutils.
* tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
exists but fails.
