* src/timeout.c (main): Use PR_SET_PDEATHSIG to ensure the
child is terminated even if the parent terminates abnormally.
* tests/timeout/timeout-group.sh: Add a case to ensure sending
SIGKILL results in the termination of the monitored command.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
The --apparent-size option to 'du' was added in
coreutils-4.5.8 (2003). FreeBSD 8.0 (2009) added the same functionality
under the short option -A. This long option previously had no short
option, so this patch adds -A to be compatible with FreeBSD.
* NEWS: Mention the new short option.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document the short option.
* src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
(APPARENT_SIZE_OPTION): Remove definition.
(EXCLUDE_OPTION): Define to CHAR_MAX + 1.
(long_options): Use the -A short option for --apparent-size.
(main): Likewise.
* tests/du/apparent.sh: Test that '-b', '-A -B 1', and
'--apparent-size --block-size 1' function the same.
* src/du.c (usage): Remove an unnecessary "then".
* src/wc.c (usage): Likewise. Add a comma after "-".
* src/sort.c (usage): Likewise. Adjust the indentation to match du and
wc.
* src/fold.c (usage): The description of -s was unclear:
- State that we can also break within words.
- State that we split on blanks not spaces.
- State that we split after the blank, not before.
Fix du and ls to conform to the POSIX getenv spec,
which says you can’t modify strings returned by getenv
unless you put the string there directly, or used putenv.
This portability bug was found by strict C23 checking
using qualifier-generic functions.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xmemdup0. Sort.
* src/du.c (main):
* src/ls.c (decode_switches):
Don’t modify the string that getenv returns.
Instead, use xmemdup0 if needed, and include xmemdup0.h.
sigaction() is generally available and if not
provided by the sigaction gnulib module.
* src/dd.c [SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Delete workarounds.
* src/ls.c: Likewise.
* src/sort.c: Likewise.

This behavior was depended on in our trap_sigpipe_or_skip_ helper,
and now that we're handling all terminating signals, we should
consistently honor their ignored signal dispositions.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior, especially in regard
to shell background jobs.
* src/timeout.c (sig_needs_handling): A new helper that return TRUE,
for --signal, SIG_ALRM, or non ignored signals.
(cleanup_install): Filter handled signals with the helper.
(block_cleanup_and_chld): Likewise.
* tests/timeout/timeout-group.sh: Adjust to use the now required
`env --default-signal=...` wrapper to reset (auto) ignored signals.
Also change the termination signal from SIGINT to SIGUSR1
to generalize the test signals not specially handled by the shell,
and newly handled by timeout(1).
* tests/timeout/timeout.sh: Add a test case for SIGPIPE
to ensure the ignored signal disposition is honored.
* src/timeout.c (term_sig): A new global list of all signals
whose default disposition is to terminate the process.
(install_cleanup): Iterate over the TERM_SIG list, rather than
installing the handler for a specific subset.
(block_cleanup_and_chld): Likewise.
* tests/timeout/timeout.sh: Add a test case for SIGPIPE.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/local.mk: No longer explicitly depend on @INTL_MACOS_LIBS@
as they're no longer implicitly referenced (in LIBINTL) without gettext.
The old dependency was through localename-unsafe, specifically
date, du through show-date() (fprintftime), and
ls, pr, stat, uptime through strftime().
gnulib commit v1.0-2439-gff4b084a68 removed the localename-unsafe
dependency on macOS.
* src/.gitignore (coreutils_hardlinks): Ignore this file. It is an empty
file created when --enable-single-binary=hardlinks is used to ensure
hardlinks are created after the multicall binary.
* Makefile.am: Use ln rather than $(LN_S) for hardlinks.
* configure.ac: Accept --enable-single-binary=hardlinks.
* man/local.mk: In hardlink mode, explicitly add the
hardlink creation rule to mandeps. Given the automake
generated dependency chain, this ensures that the hardlinks
are created _after_ the multicall binary, with `make all`
or `make check` etc.
* src/local.mk: Define the new src/coreutils_hardlinks rule,
and only depend on src/coreutils_{symlinks,shebangs} if
in those modes, so that hardlinks are created _after_
the multicall binary, and other link types before.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
Addresses https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/129
* 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
* 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.
* 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.
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.
* src/copy-file-data.c (copy_file_data): Only give the
POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL hint when we _know_ we'll definitely
use a read/write loop to copy the data. Also only apply
the hint to the whole file, as we've seen OpenZFS at least
special case that.
(sparse_copy): Update stale comment.
* src/copy-file-data.c (infer_scantype): Fall back to a plain copy
if SEEK_HOLE indicates non-sparse, as zero copy avoids copy offload.
This was seen with transparently compressed files on OpenZFS.
* tests/cp/sparse-perf.sh: Add a test case even though it might
only trigger on compressed file systems that don't support reflink.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Addresses https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/122
* src/copy-file-data.c (): pass 0 to posix_fadvise to indicate to EOF.
coreutils 9.8 used OFF_T_MAX instead, which triggered OpenZFS 2.2.2
at least to synchronously (decompress and) populate the page cache.
Addresses https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/122
* NEWS: Remove timeout from the list of programs that use posix_spawn.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove posix_spawnattr_setsigmask.
* src/timeout.c: Don't include spawn.h.
(main): Use fork and execvp instead of posix_spawn.
This reverts commit dac96ce3e3.
