* tests/init.cfg (framework_failure, getlimits_): Use 'fatal_'
instead of 'error_'.
(error_): Delete, it's not used anymore (and one is anyway
advised to use 'fatal_' instead).
Update heading comments.
* tests/shell-or-perl (error_): Renamed ...
(fatal_): ... to this, for consistency. Also, add a useful
comment.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Explicitly use the fclose module.
This is required, now that gnulib's close module no longer depends
on fclose. Without this module, we would be exposed to fclose bugs
affecting at least glibc 2.13 and FreeBSD.
Reported by Bernhard Voelker. Suggested by Eric Blake.
* src/copy.c (create_hard_link): A new function refactored
from existing code.
(copy_internal): Call the new function from all 3 locations
that create hard links.
* tests/cp/same-file: Amend to match the adjusted diagnostic.
* tests/cp/preserve-link: Add test cases for when a missing
link in the destination tree is encountered first and second.
Also add cases for old and new separate files in the destination
tree, both to make the clobbering behavior explicit, and to
test any changes in this area in future.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Adjust formatting style to conform with
guidelines in HACKING: put braces around two one-line "else" blocks.
* tests/cp/existing-perm-dir: Use $(...), not `...`, and
stat rather than ls+cut to get the mode string.
mode=$(stat --p=%A dst/dir)
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): If we don't create the directory,
then we cannot have omitted permissions. Problem and trivial
fix reported by Eric Lammerts.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/existing-perm-dir.
* tests/cp/existing-perm-dir: New file.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With --update (-u), this function would
return early once it found that the destination is not older than the
source, *without* recording the source-dev/ino--to--dest_name mapping.
That mapping is required in order to preserve src hard links in the
destination tree, so when using cp with --update and --preserve=links
(perhaps via -p or -a), cp could fail to preserve one hard link
per inode when at least one of the hard-linked names already exists
in the destination tree.
Reported by Odd Harry Mannsverk in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8419.
* tests/cp/preserve-link: New file. Exercise the flaw/fix.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* src/timeout.c (settimeout): A new function to convert
from a floating point duration and call alarm() or
timer_settime() if that's available.
(parse_duration): Return a double rather than unsigned int.
(usage): Mention floating point is supported.
(main): Pass the double to settimeout() rather than
calling alarm() directly with the parsed int.
(cleanup): Likewise.
* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Say floating point timeouts
now supported, and mention the caveat with resolution.
* bootstrap.conf: Include the timer-time gnulib module.
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Add a test with nanoseconds.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
This change derives from improvements to gnulib's fsusage module.
* NEWS (Improvements): df now supports disk partitions larger than
4 TiB on MacOS X 10.5 or newer and on AIX 5.2 or newer.
Alphabetize entries.
* gnulib: Update to latest.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Use fdatasync only if declared.
MacOS X 10.7 has an fdatasync that is not declared, and is rumored to
be ineffective. (Bug#9141)
The following dropped the space from the first field
printf "1234567 \t1\n" | unexpand -a
Note POSIX says that spaces should not precede tabs.
Also a single trailing space should not be converted
if the next field starts with non blank characters.
So we enforce those rules too, with this change.
* src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Implement as per POSIX rules.
* tests/misc/unexpand: Add tests, and adjust existing
tests as per POSIX rules.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

Treat fractions as a request to round up to the next representable
value, and treat out-of-range values as maximal ones. This is
consistent with how "sleep" works. And this way, "timeout
999999999999999999d FOO" and "timeout 4.5 foo" are more likely to
do what the user wants.
* src/timeout.c: Include c-strtod.h and xstrtod.h, not xstrtol.h.
(apply_time_suffix): Change it to the way sleep.c's time_suffix
does things. Maybe this function (identical in both programs,
other than its name) should be moved to a library?
(parse_duration): Return a maximal value on overflow. Return
unsigned int, not unsigned long. Allow fractions, which round
up to the next integer value.
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Adjust tests to match new behavior.
Add a very large number.
* src/csplit.c (interrupt_handler): Reset signal to SIG_DFL
after deleting the files, so that a second interrupt won't
prematurely terminate cleanup.
(main): Don't use SA_NODEFER | SA_RESETHAND, as that might
allow premature termination of cleanup. Also, this ports better
to platforms like NonStop, which don't ahve SA_RESETHAND.
* src/stat.c (print_stat): Use ST_BLKSIZE() rather than
accessing st_blksize directly, which is not present on
NonStop at least. Reported by Joachim Schmitz.
* src/fiemap.h (struct fiemap): Adjust the previous change
to the fiemap_extents array, which would also require changes
to the sizeof calculations in extent_scan_read().
Instead, only declare the fiemap_extents zero length array
on linux, which is the only platform that references this member.
This avoids a compilation failure on systems that don't support
this non standard construct. We don't use the equivalent C99
flexible array construct so as to have maximum portability.
* src/extent-scan.c: Cleanup. Remove a redundant #ifndef.
* src/mktemp.c: maint: avoid warning by using the comma operator
rather than an always-true conditional (as suggested by Eric Blake).
Reported by Joachim Schmitz in http://debbugs.gnu.org/9064.
This information has already been added to the Texinfo manual, but was
missing from the --help output.
* src/wc.c (usage): As above, for --help.
Reported by Vincent Lefevre in http://bugs.debian.org/395430.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_man_see_also_period): Prohibit a period at
the end of the first line after a "SEE ALSO" marker in man/*.x.
With this, we shouldn't have to make any more changes like those
in today's commit, f2dabd68.
man-pages(7) explicitly says about SEE ALSO sections: "Do not terminate
this with a period." This is also in line with all the other man pages
in coreutils.
* man/cat.x: Remove period at the end of the SEE ALSO section.
* man/tac.x: Likewise.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Define HAVE_SETRLIMIT.
* src/timeout.c: If the child exited with a signal,
raise that signal to the timeout process itself,
so that callers may also see the signal status.
Use setrlimit to disable core dumps for the timeout
process, which would be generated by some signals.
* src/timeout.c (cleanup): Send signals directly to the child
in case it has started its own process group (like a cascaded
timeout command would for example).
* test/misc/timeout-group: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
Or more accurately, commands not started from the shell prompt,
that are interactive, or need to receive Ctrl-C etc. from the terminal.
* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Document --foreground.
* src/timeout.c (main): Set the foreground flag and don't create
a separate group.
(cleanup): Only send a signal directly to the monitored command
when the foreground flag is set.
(usage): Describe --foreground.
* tests/misc/timeout-group: Add a new test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference new test.
NEWS: Mention the new option.

Analysis by Alan Curry
Fix suggested by Paul Eggert
This fact was already noted in the Texinfo manual, but not in the
output of --help.
* src/cp.c (usage): As above, for --help.
Reported by Jari Aalto in http://bugs.debian.org/294327.
Use this new option with --check when the input is expected to
consist solely of checksum lines. With only --check, an invalid
line evokes a warning, but the program can still exit successfully.
With --strict, any invalid line makes the program exit non-zero.
* src/md5sum.c (strict, STRICT_OPTION): Declare/define.
(long_options): Add "strict".
(usage): Describe --strict.
(digest_check): Count improperly_formatted lines, too, and use
that number and the global "strict" to determine the return value.
(main): Handle STRICT_OPTION.
Reject --strict without --check.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Describe it.
* NEWS (New features): Mention it.
* src/date.c (usage): As above, for --help.
* doc/coreutils.texi (Time conversion specifiers): Likewise.
