This improves on the fix for --target-directory diagnostics bugs on
Solaris 11. Problem reported by Bruno Haible and Pádraig Brady; see:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2022-04/msg00044.html
Also, omit some unnecessary stat calls.
* gl/lib/targetdir.c (target_directory_operand): If !O_DIRECTORY,
do not bother calling open if stat failed with errno != EOVERFLOW.
Rename is_a_dir to try_to_open since that’s closer to what it means.
If the open failed with EACCES and we used O_SEARCH, look at stat
results to see whether errno should be ENOTDIR for better diagnostics.
Treat EOVERFLOW as an “I don’t know whether it’s a directory and
there’s no easy way to find out” rather than as an error.
* gl/lib/targetdir.c (target_directory_operand): New arg ST.
All callers changed.
* src/cp.c (do_copy):
* src/mv.c (main):
Avoid unnecessary stat call if target_directory_operand already
got the status.
Move target directory code out of system.h to a new targetdir module.
This doesn’t change functionality.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add targetdir.
* src/cp.c, src/install.c, src/mv.c: Include targetdir.h.
* src/system.h (must_be_working_directory, target_directory_operand)
(targetdir_dirfd_valid): Move from here ...
* gl/lib/targetdir.c, gl/lib/targetdir.h, gl/modules/targetdir:
... to these new files.
* src/system.h (target_directory_operand): Also check with stat()
on systems with O_SEARCH, to avoid open("file", O_SEARCH|O_DIRECTORY)
returning EACCES rather than ENOTDIR, which was seen on Solaris 11.4
when operating on non dirs without execute bit set.
* NEWS: Remove related bug entry, as that issue was only introduced
after coreutils v9.0 was released.
Reported by Bruno Haible.
* tests/misc/env.sh: Verify with another command that
execvp() doesn not return ENOENT, before testing the
exit code from the command in question.
* tests/misc/nice-fail.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/stdbuf.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/md5sum-newline.pl: Avoid binary '*' tags when
comparing checksums.
* tests/misc/md5sum-bsd.sh: Avoid binary '*' tags so that we correctly
trigger the ambiguity test.
Reported by Bruno Haible
* tests/Coreutils.pm: Ensure an unset $TERM env var,
which is required on perl 5.22.2 on Solaris 11 OpenIndiana at least,
where TERM was being reset to 'dumb'.
Reported By Bruno Haible.
commit v9.0-66-ge2daa8f79 introduced an issue, for example
where cp could hang when overwriting a destination fifo,
when it would try to open() the fifo on systems
like Solaris 10 that didn't support the O_DIRECTORY flag.
This is still racy on such systems, but only in the
case where a directory is replaced by a fifo in
the small window between stat() and open().
* src/system.h (target_directory_operand): On systems without
O_DIRECTORY, ensure the file is a directory before attempting to open().
* tests/cp/special-f.sh: Protect cp with timeout(1),
as cp was seen to hang when trying to overwrite an existing fifo.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): For the --compare option,
clarify that the ownership or permissions of the source files don't
matter. Also don't imply --owner or --group need to be specified
for --compare to be effective.
* src/install.c (usage): Add more detail on what's being compared.

Lookup of file-based capabilities adds 30% overhead to the common
case of ls --color usage. Since the use of file capabilities is
very rare, it doesn't make sense to pay this cost in the common
case. It's better to use getcap to inspect capabilities, and the
following run shows only 8 files using capabilities on my fedora
35 distro (14 years after the feature was introduced to the linux
kernel).
$ getcap -r /
/usr/bin/arping = cap_net_raw+p
/usr/bin/clockdiff = cap_net_raw+p
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon = cap_ipc_lock+ep
/usr/bin/gnome-shell = cap_sys_nice+ep
/usr/bin/newgidmap = cap_setgid+ep
/usr/bin/newuidmap = cap_setuid+ep
/usr/sbin/mtr-packet = cap_net_raw+ep
/usr/sbin/suexec = cap_setgid,cap_setuid+ep
* src/dircolors.hin: Set "CAPABILITY" to "00", to indicate unused.
* src/ls.c: Set the default C_CAP color to not colored.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
* src/dircolors.hin: Add patterns for suffixes for "backup files".
The color used is so they stand out less than non-backup files,
and bright black works well on both light and dark backgrounds.
* THANKS.in: Remove duplicate.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/54521
* src/join.c (usage): Clarify that -e is not sufficient
to enable output of missing fields from one of the inputs.
Rather the -12jo options are required to explicitly
enable output of those fields.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/54625
* tests/misc/printf-mb.sh: Given we shortcut the single char
(invalid multi-byte) case, add a case to ensure we're correctly
checking the return from mbrtowc().
* src/printf.c (STRTOX): Update to support multi-byte chars.
* tests/misc/printf-mb.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/54388
* src/test.c (usage): State that -rwx is determined by
user access, rather than permission bits.
* doc/coreutils.texi (Access permission tests): Likewise.
* man/test.x [SEE ALSO]: access(2).
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/54338
* cfg.mk (sc_die_EXIT_FAILURE): Generalize to match any EXIT_ define,
and also relax to ignore error() usage with ternary operator.
* src/chroot.c (main): Use () to avoid the sc_error_quotes check.
Revert to the default behavior before the introduction of statx().
* src/stat.c (do_stat): Set AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT without --cached=never.
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Mention the automount
behavior with --cached=never.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/54287
statx() has different defaults wrt automounting
compared to stat() or lstat(), so explicitly
set the AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress that behavior,
and avoid unintended operations or potential errors.
* src/ls.c (do_statx): Pass AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT to avoid this behavior.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

On macOS, isspace(0x85) returns true,
which results in splitting within multi-byte characters.
* src/fmt.c (get_line): s/isspace/c_isspace/.
* tests/fmt/non-space.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/54124
* tests/misc/wc-nbsp.sh: Only the en_US.iso8859-1 form
is accepted on macOS 10.15.7 at least. GNU/Linux also
accepts ISO-8859-1 (and canonicalizes the charmap to this).
This implements my suggestion in Bug#54112.
* src/dd.c (usage): Document the change.
(parse_integer, scanargs): Implement the change.
Omit some now-obsolete checks for invalid flags.
* tests/dd/bytes.sh: Test the new behavior, while retaining
checks for the now-obsolete usage.
* tests/dd/nocache_eof.sh: Avoid now-obsolete usage.
Alias iseek=N to skip=N, oseek=N to seek=N (Bug#45648).
* src/dd.c (scanargs): Parse iseek= and oseek=.
* tests/dd/skip-seek.pl (sk-seek5): New test case.
Do not allocate I/O buffer if copy_file_range suffices.
* src/copy.c (sparse_copy, lseek_copy): Buffer arg is now char **
instead of char *, and buffer is now allocated only if needed.
All uses changed.
It's more common to use bold style than not,
for references to other man pages.
Ideally each man page renderer would highlight references,
but currently some rely on styles in the page itself.
* man/help2man: Implement a --bold-refs option that
will mark up references like "name(1)" with bold
style around the "name" component.
* man/local.mk: Pass --bold-refs to our help2man unless disabled.
* configure.ac: Add a --disable-bold-man-page-references option.

COLORTERM is an environment used usually to expose truecolor support in
terminal emulators. Therefore support matches on that in addition
to TERM. Also set the default COLORTERM match pattern so that
we apply colors if COLORTERM is any value.
This implicitly supports a terminal like "foot"
without a need for an explicit TERM entry.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* src/dircolors.c (main): Match COLORTERM like we do for TERM.
* src/dircolors.hin: Add default config to match any COLORTERM.
* tests/misc/dircolors.pl: Add test cases.
Problem reported by Dan Jacobson (Bug#48248).
* doc/coreutils.texi (tr invocation): Improve documentation for
tr's failure to support multibyte characters POSIX-style.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tr invocation), src/tr.c (usage):
Use terminology closer to POSIX's.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dircolors invocation): Describe the new
--print-ls-colors option.
* src/dircolors.c (print_ls_colors): A new global to select
between shell or terminal output.
(append_entry): A new function refactored from dc_parse_stream()
to append the entry in the appropriate format.
(dc_parse_stream): Adjust to call append_entry().
* tests/misc/dircolors.pl: Add test cases.
since gnulib commit ff208d546a,
related to coreutils commit v9.0-143-gabde15969
we no longer maintain numeric IDs through chopt->{user,group}_name.
Therefore we need to adjust to ensure tests/chown/basic.sh passes.
* src/chown-core.c (uid_to_str, gid_to_str): New helper functions
to convert numeric id to string.
(change_file_owner): Use the above new functions to pass
numeric ids to describe_change().
