* init.cfg (require_inotify_supported_): A new function that
indicates inotify support for a file in the current directory,
using tail --debug, rather than awkward strace checks etc.
* tests/tail/inotify-dir-recreate.sh: Call require_inotify_supported_.
tests/tail/inotify-only-regular.sh: Likewise.
tests/tail/inotify-race.sh: Likewise.
tests/tail/inotify-race2.sh: Likewise.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Describe --debug.
* src/tail.c (tail_forever, tail_forever_inotify): Output
which --follow implementation is being used.
* tests/tail/debug.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
This function is hidden unless EVAL_TRACE is defined for debugging.
* src/expr.c (trace): Convert to a prototype instead of K&R definition
to avoid -Werror=strict-prototypes. Make the argument const to avoid
-Werror=discarded-qualifiers.
The impact of the TIME_STYLE environment variable on du(1) was only
documented in the Texinfo manual. To avoid surprises for users,
also mention TIME_STYLE in the usage text, i.e., for --help and man.
Organize similar as in ls(1), but as du(1) has slightly different
behavior it would be hard to share the translation.
* src/du.c (usage): Shorten the description of --time-style, and refer
to an additional --time-style / TIME_STYLE description below.
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Give more details on what
--verbose outputs, to give some indication of its utility.
* src/shred.c (usage): Likewise. Also since we're changing the string,
split out translations to give translators more granular translations.
Note the use of "rt" is non-standard, but we're restricting
its use here to systems that define O_BINARY, which should
invariably support "rt" mode.
* src/digest.c (): Where significant, explicitly use "rt" mode
with --text, as MSYS2 defaults to binary mode for fopen'd files
(though not for standard streams).
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Fixes https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/123
* tests/env/env.sh: Always pass --coreutils-prog=true so that the
program to run can be determined with --enable-single-binary=symlinks.
Also actually verify the expected verbose output.
Reported by the Alpine Linux project.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/nice.c (MIN_ADJUSTMENT): Set to 0 on the Hurd with glibc ≤ 2.42.
(MAX_ADJUSTMENT): Set to (2 * NZERO - 2) on the Hurd with glibc ≤ 2.42.
(main): Clamp the niceness to be greater or equal to MIN_ADJUSTMENT and
less than or equal to MAX_ADJUSTMENT.
* tests/nice/nice.sh: Add some tests for the Hurd's ranges.
* gnulib: Update to the latest gnulib to pull in the fix
(v1.0-2406-g89f63027de) to allocate the $PATH processing memory
before the vfork call, which is required on ppc and sparc.
* tests/install/basic-1.sh: Ensure posix_spawnp() suports a large $PATH,
which needs careful handling with vfork() as detailed in gnulib.
Make the documentation more accurate following v9.3-80-g5e1e0993b
* doc/coreutils.texi (cksum common options): State that --text and
--binary are actually supported, but only to support emulation
of the legacy utils.
Many people are used to seeing ISO 8601 dates using a period separating
seconds and nanoseconds. This behavior seems to be worth documenting
given the bug reports:
https://bugs.gnu.org/63119https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1118970
* doc/coreutils.texi (Options for date): Mention that
'date --iso-8601=ns' uses a comma as a separator, following the
preference of ISO 8601. Give an example of how to get an ISO 8601 date
with a period separator.
* src/copy-file-data.c (lseek_copy): hole_start is initialized
only when ext_start == ipos.
(infer_scantype): Update the hole_start initialization to
the more logically correct POS, even though that init
is only needed to suppress a -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning.
Note gcc 15.2 at least doesn't seem to need that suppression.
It was seen that gnulib's read_file_system_list may use fopen instead
of open. Adjust the df(1) tests to replace both library functions.
* tests/df/no-mtab-status.sh: Change the shared library code invoked
via LD_PRELOAD to override both fopen and open. While at it, perform
varargs processing only when path is not "/proc/self/mountinfo".
* tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Likewise.
Two df(1) tests were skipped (since commit ee367bd38d), because
the build of the shared library in those tests failed.
+ gcc -Wall -shared --std=gnu99 -fPIC -O2 k.c -o k.so -ldl
k.c: In function 'open':
k.c:37:7: error: implicit declaration of function 'streq'; did you \
mean 'strsep'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
37 | if (streq (path, "/proc/self/mountinfo"))
| ^~~~~
| strsep
Gnulib streq is not available in the tests.
* tests/df/no-mtab-status.sh: Replace "streq" by "0==strcmp" in the
shared library source.
* tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Likewise.
This improvement is due to changes to Gnulib's fprintftime module.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* src/getlimits.c (OFF64_T_MAX, OFF64_T_MIN): New macros.
(main): Print them.
* tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Call getlimits_. Add a date invocation.
* src/pr.c (init_header): Do not report an nstrftime EOVERFLOW
error as memory exhaustion. Instead, output the time as an
integer. Also, work even if nstrftime (nullptr, SIZE_MAX, ...)
would return PTRDIFF_MAX which means adding 1 would overflow..
* src/local.mk: Revert v9.7-322-gc2e1816a5, instead relying
on the more focused v9.8-79-g532cd66af. When built with
--disable-nls on macOS this will result in only some commands
being linked with INTL_MACOSX_LIBS, thus resulting in env(1)
at least not setting a __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING envirnoment variable.
A more precise fix than commit v9.7-322-gc2e1816a5
* configure.ac (USE_NLS): new AM_CONDITIONAL.
* src/local.mk: add @INTL_MACOSX_LIBS@ to <prog>_LDADD that need it.
