2022-04-15 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
doc: avoid unicode errors in texi conversion
Avoid "Unicode character U+#1 not supported, sorry" error
when converting from texi to dvi or pdf.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tr invocation): Avoid the @U{XXXX}
texi representation, as even though info and html can represent
these characters directly, there are conversion errors
for pdf and dvi. Instead use the more abstract shell
$'\uXXXX' representation.

build: copy: fix build on macos 10.12
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Handle the case where CLONE_NOOWNERCOPY
is not defined.
Reported by Jeffrey Walton
2022-04-13 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
tail: detect closed stdout on Solaris
* src/tail.c (check_output_alive): Use poll() on Solaris.
Also handle POLLHUP, which Solaris returns in this case.
* tests/tail-2/pipe-f.sh: Use `head -n2` rather than `sed 2q`
as Solaris sed does not exit in this case.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
Reported by Bruno Haible.
maint: syntax-check: fix preprocessor indentation
* gl/lib/targetdir.h: Keep '#' at start of line.
2022-04-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
cp,mv,install: omit an ‘inline’
* gl/lib/targetdir.c (target_directory_operand):
Omit unnecessary ‘inline’.
cp,mv,install: improve EACCES targetdir messages
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.
cp,mv,install: avoid excess stat calls on non-GNU
* 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.
cp,mv,install: modularize targetdir
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.
2022-04-13 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
cp,mv,install: avoid EACCES with non directory destination
* 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.
sync: support syncing files on cygwin
* src/sync.c (sync_arg): Similarly to AIX, Cygwin 2.9.0
was seen to need write access to have permission to sync a file.
tests: cygwin: handle ENOENT from execvp(".")
* 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: env-S.pl: unset cygwin hardwired env vars
* tests/misc/env-S.pl: Unset SYSTEMROOT and WINDIR.

tests: md5sum: fix false failures on cygwin
* 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
2022-04-11 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
tests: b2sum.sh: fix false failure on cygwin
* tests/misc/b2sum.sh: Avoid binary '*' tags when comparing checksums.
Reported by Bruno Haible
tests: dircolors.pl: avoid false failure with TERM=dumb
* 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.
tests: printf-mb.sh: fix false failure with french translations
* tests/misc/printf-mb.sh: As per commit 04148c99c,
adjust non C warnings before comparison, to those of LC_MESSAGES=C.
Reported by Adam Sampson
2022-04-10 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
tests: stty.sh: skip on systems without perl
* init.cfg (stty_reversible_init_): Add require_perl_
to ensure we skip rather than error, without perl.
2022-04-09 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
cp,mv,install: avoid opening non directory destination
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.
2022-04-09 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
doc: install --compare: clarify mode of operation
* 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.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/50889
2022-04-08 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
doc: remove older ChangeLog items
* Makefile.am: Update the oldest documented version
to 8.27 which is now about 5 years old.

* NEWS: Move description from "Changes in behavior"
to "New features".
2022-04-03 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
ls: avoid expensive capability lookup by default
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.
2022-04-03 Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>
dircolors: colorize backup files with bright black
* 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
2022-03-29 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
doc: join: clarify that -e only effective for -12jo fields
* 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
2022-03-25 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
maint: sync latest bootstrap from gnulib
* bootstrap: Should have updated this with the last gnulib update.
2022-03-20 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
tests: improve recent printf test
* 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().
2022-03-19 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
printf: support printing the numeric value of multi-byte chars
* src/printf.c (STRTOX): Update to support multi-byte chars.

doc: test: clarify that -rwx don't just check perm bits
* 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
2022-03-07 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
maint: address syntax-check issues in recent commit
* 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.
2022-03-07 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
stat: only automount with --cached=never
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
2022-03-07 Rohan Sable <rsable@redhat.com>
ls: avoid triggering automounts
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.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/54286
2022-03-07 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>

chown: warn about USER.GROUP
Suggested by Dan Jacobson (Bug#44770).
* src/chown.c, src/chroot.c (main):
Issue warnings if obsolete USER.GROUP notation is present.
build: update gnulib submodule to latest
2022-02-24 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
fmt: fix invalid multi-byte splitting on macOS
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
2022-02-24 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
tests: improve compat with macOS
* 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).
2022-02-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
dd: counts ending in "B" now count bytes
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.
2022-02-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
dd: improve doc relative to POSIX
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Improve documentation,
clarifying whether features are extensions to POSIX.
dd: support iseek= and oseek=
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.
2022-02-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
cp: avoid unnecessary buffer allocation
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.

* man/env.x: Change exec() reference from section 2 to 3p.
2022-02-15 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
doc: use bold style for man page references
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.

dircolors: speed up processing of TERM entries
* src/dircolors.c (main): Avoid glob matching
when we've already matched in a group of {COLOR,}TERM entries.
2022-02-15 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
dircolors: consider COLORTERM as well as TERM env vars
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.
2022-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
tr: mention multibyte problem in man page
* man/tr.x: Document tr problem.
tr: improve multibyte etc. doc
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.
2022-02-13 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
dircolors: add --print-ls-colors to display colored entries
* 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.
2022-02-13 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
chown,chgrp: reinstate numeric id output in -v messages
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().
2022-02-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
sort: fix several version-sort problems
This also affects ls -v in some corner cases.
Problems reported by Michael Debertol <https://bugs.gnu.org/49239>.
While looking into this, I spotted some more areas where the
code and documentation did not agree, or where the documentation
was unclear. In some cases I changed the code; in others
the documentation. I hope things are nailed down better now.
* doc/sort-version.texi: Distinguish more carefully between
characters and bytes. Say that non-identical strings can
compare equal, since they now can. Improve readability in
various ways. Make it clearer that a suffix can be the
entire string.
* src/ls.c (cmp_version): Fall back on strcmp if filevercmp
reports equality, since filevercmp is no longer a total order.
* src/sort.c (keycompare): Use filenvercmp, to treat NULs correctly.
* tests/misc/ls-misc.pl (v_files):
Adjust test to match new behavior.
* tests/misc/sort-version.sh: Add tests for stability,
and for sorting with NUL bytes.
build: update gnulib submodule to latest
2022-02-12 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
doc: avoid using "[" is URLS in --help output
* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): While supported if entered
manually, the "[" character is not highlighted as part of a
URL by default in terminals, so avoid using it.
Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/53946
doc: adust --help, --version alignment
* src/system.h: Adjust the alignment of the --help
and --version option descriptions, to start at column 21.
This better aligns with the descriptions of most commands,
and also aligns with the minimum column a description must
start at to ensure a blank line is not output when a description
follows an option on a line by itself.
doc: rmdir: improve --help formatting
* src/rmdir.c (usage): Move description to column 21,
so that a --long-option on its own line without a
trailing description, doesn't have an erroneous blank
line inserted between the option and description.
Also group descriptions with blank lines rather than indents,
so that man pages don't have erroneous blank lines
added within the description.
Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/53946
doc: ls: reference dircolors(1) from --help
* src/ls.c (usage): s/dircolors/dircolors(1)/.
* man/ls.x [SEE ALSO]: Reference dircolors(1).
Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/53946
doc: ls: improve --help formatting
* src/ls.c (usage): Use blank lines to group multi-line
option descriptions, rather than indenting.
This results in more consistent alignment of descriptions,
and also avoids erroneous new lines in generated in man pages.
Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/53946
2022-02-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
doc: improve version-sort doc
* doc/coreutils.texi, doc/sort-version.texi:
Capitalize “Coreutils”.
* doc/sort-version.texi: Don’t emphasize natural sort so much,
since Coreutils has just version sort.
Use the term “lexicographic” instead of “alphabetic” or “standard”.
Suggest combining ‘V’ with ‘b’, and show why ‘b’ is needed.
Use shorter titles for sections, as GNU Emacs displays info poorly
when titles are too long to fit in a line.
Use @samp instead of @code for samples of data.
Do not use @samp{@code{...}}; @samp{...} should suffice and
double-nesting looks bad with Emacs.
Omit blank lines in examples that would not be present
in actual shell sessions.
Quote with `` and '', not with " or with '.
Mention dpkg --compare-versions more prominently.
Don’t rely on "\n" being equivalent to "\\n" in shell args.
Prefer Unicode name for hyphen-minus.

* src/env.c (unset_envvars): Remove IF_LINT code.
(main): Use main_exit, not return.
md5sum: remove IF_LINTs
* src/digest.c (digest_check): Remove IF_LINTs that are no longer
needed, as GCC has gotten smarter since 2008.

use ‘output_delimiter_string != output_delimiter_default’
instead of ‘output_delimiter_specified’.
(cut_file): New arg CUT_STREAM. Caller changed.
(main): Simplify. Coalesce duplicate code. Redo to avoid need
for IF_LINT, or for the static var. No need to xstrdup optarg.
cut: simplify -fsanitize=leak pacification
* src/set-fields.c (reset_fields): Remove, as it’s not needed for
-fsanitize=leak even when ‘lint’ is defined. All uses removed.
cp: simplify GCC pacification
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Remove IF_LINT code that is
no longer needed, as GCC has apparently gotten smarter since 2008.

longer needed, as GCC has gotten smarter since 2005.
tail: simplify -fsanitize=leak pacification
Also, close a no-longer-needed file descriptor when falling
back from inotify.
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Return void, not bool. Exit
on fatal error, or on successful completion. Accept an extra
argument pointing to a hash table that the caller should free on
non-fatal error; this simplifies cleanup. Don’t bother setting
errno when returning. Caller changed.
(main): Omit no-longer-needed IF_LINT code. Close inotify
descriptor if inotify fails; this fixes a file descriptor leak and
means we needn’t call inotify_rm_watch. Use main_exit, not return.

* src/tac.c (main) [lint]: Omit unnecessary cleanup.
Use main_exit, not return.
shuf: simplify -fsanitize=leak pacification

stat: pacify -fsanitizer=leak
* src/stat.c (main): Use main_exit, not return.
comm: pacify -fsanitizer=leak
* src/comm.c (compare_files): Move exiting code here ...
(main): ... from here, to pacify gcc -fsanitize=leak.
expr: lint cleanup, and introducing main_exit
This introduces a new macro main_exit, which is useful
for pacifying gcc -fsanitizer=lint and in some cases
means we can remove some ‘IF_LINT’ and ‘ifdef lint’ code.
* src/expr.c (main): Use main_exit, not return.
(docolon): Omit an IF_LINT that GCC no longer needs.
* src/system.h (main_exit): New macro.

cksum: use more exact selection of digest algorithms
Use more constrained argument matching
to improve forward compatibility and robustness.
For example it's better that `cksum -a sha3` is _not_
equivalent to `cksum -a sha386`, so that a user
specifying `-a sha3` on an older cksum would not be surprised.
Also argmatch() is used when parsing tags from lines like:
SHA3 (filename) = abcedf....
so it's more robust that older cksum instances to fail
earlier in the parsing process, when parsing output from
possible future cksum implementations that might support SHA3.
* src/digest.c (algorithm_from_tag): Use argmatch_exact()
to ensure we don't match abbreviated algorithms.
(main): Likewise.
* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Add a test case.
2022-01-30 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>

mv: when installing to dir use dir-relative names
When the destination for mv is a directory, use functions like openat
to access the destination files, when such functions are available.
This should be more efficient and should avoid some race conditions.
Likewise for 'install'.
* src/cp.c (must_be_working_directory, target_directory_operand)
(target_dirfd_valid): Move from here ...

Problem reported by Sworddragon (Bug#51345).
* src/dd.c (cleanup): Synchronize output unless dd has been interrupted.
(synchronize_output): New function, split out from dd_copy.
Update conversions_mask so synchronization is done at most once.

able to synchronize it before exiting. Synchronize output before
exiting.
dd: output final progress before syncing
Problem reported by Sworddragon (Bug#51482).
* src/dd.c (reported_w_bytes): New var.
(print_xfer_stats): Set it.

build: update gnulib submodule to latest
copy: remove unnecessary ‘free’
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Remove a ‘free’ call that does nothing
because its argument is always a null pointer, starting with
2007-11-1608:31:15Z!jim@meyering.net.
dd: simplify conv=swab code
Simplify byte-swapping, so that the code no longer needs to
allocate a page before the input buffer.
* src/dd.c (SWAB_ALIGN_OFFSET, char_is_saved, saved_char): Remove.
All uses removed.
(INPUT_BLOCK_SLOP): Simplify to just page_size.
(alloc_ibuf, dd_copy): Adjust to new swab_buffer API.
(swab_buffer): New arg SAVED_BYTE, taking the place of the old
global variables. Do not access BUF[-1].
dd: improve integer overflow checking
* src/dd.c: Prefer signed to unsigned types where either will do,
as this helps improve checking with gcc -fsanitize=undefined.
Limit the signed types to their intended ranges.

New test for BIGxBIG.
shred: fix declaration typo
* gl/lib/randint.h (randint_all_new):

2021-11-01T05:30:28Z!eggert@cs.ucla.edu.
cat: prefer signed to unsigned
* src/cat.c: Prefer signed to unsigned types
where either will do, as they allow for better

build: allow readlinkat calls
Problem reported by Bernhard Voelker in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2022-01/msg00026.html
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_readlink): Remove. It’s OK to call
readlinkat to determine whether a file is a symbolic link.
cp: rely on Gnulib for copy_file_range workaround
Gnulib now replaces copy_file_range on buggy hosts
so there is no need for Coreutils to worry about the bug.

copy_internal where it now expects non-null if move mode.
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Initialize *attr_list
before recentely-added quick return.
cp: omit unnecessary stat of destination
'cp A B' attempts to open B as a directory, to see whether to
write to B/A instead of to B. In the common case where the
open fails with ENOENT, do not bother to stat B afterwards
since the stat should also fail with ENOENT.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal, copy): Change bool arg about
nonexistent destination to a 3-way int argument. All callers changed.
(copy_internal): Do not bother to stat a destination already known
to not exist when following symlinks.

cp: when copying to dir use dir-relative names
When copying to a directory, use functions like openat to access

fchmodat, fchownat, mkdirat, mkfifoat, utimensat.
* src/copy.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]:
* src/copy.c, src/system.h (rpl_mkfifo, mkfifo) [!HAVE_MKFIFO]:

those obsolete systems any more. All uses replaced by utimensat.
* src/copy.c (copy_dir, set_owner, fchmod_or_lchmod, copy_reg)
(same_file_ok, writable_destination, overwrite_ok, abandon_move)
(create_hard_link, src_is_dst_backup, copy_internal, copy):
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private, re_protect):
New args for directory-relative names. All uses changed.
Continue to pass full names as needed, for diagnostics and for
lower-level functions like qset_acl that do not support
directory-relative names.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Prefer readlinkat to lstatat for merely
checking whether a file is a symlink, to avoid EOVERFLOW issues.
(subst_suffix): New function.
(create_hard_link): Accept a null SRC_NAME as meaning that if it
is needed it needs to be constructed from SRC_RELNAME, DST_NAME,
and DST_RELNAME.
(source_is_dst_backup): Use subst_suffix instead of doing it by hand.
(copy_internal): Remember and use directory-relative names instead
of full names.
* src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Remove. All uses removed.
(must_be_working_directory): New function.
(target_directory_operand): Simply take file name as arg,
and return a file descriptor or negative number on failure;
open with O_DIRECTORY to obtain any file descriptor.
All uses changed.
(target_dirfd_valid): New function.
(do_copy): Use these new functions to obtain a file descriptor
for any target directory, and use directory-relative names
for that directory.
(main): Omit no-longer-needed stat when --target-directory,
as do_copy now does this.
* src/ln.c (O_PATHSEARCH): Move from here ...
* src/system.h: ... to here.
* tests/cp/fail-perm.sh: Adjust to change in diagnostic wording,
and add a test for --no-target-directory.
cp: tweak internal name
* src/cp.c (do_copy): Omit confusingly-named local new_dest, since
there’s another var new_dst that means something quite different.

DST_NAME if open failed with ENOENT; and if unlink fails with
ENOENT, don’t consider that to be an error (someone else could
have removed the file for us, and that’s OK). Also, don’t worry

hash (OSCCA GM/T 0004-2012 SM3) generic hash transformation.
* bootstrap.conf: Add the sm3 module.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Mention the cksum -a option.
* src/digest.c: Provide support for --algorithm='sm3'.
* tests/misc/sm3sum.pl: Add a new test (from Tianjia Zhang)
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
Tested-by: Tianjia Zhang <tianjia.zhang@linux.alibaba.com>

cksum: add --algorithm option to select digest mode
* src/digest.c: Organize HASH_ALGO_CKSUM to be table driven,
and amalgamate all digest algorithms.
(main): Parse all options if HASH_ALGO_CKSUM, and disallow
--tag, --zero, and --check with the traditional bsd, sysv, and crc
checksums for now.
* src/local.mk: Reorganize to include all digest modules in cksum.
* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/misc/b2sum.sh: Update to default to checking with cksum,
as b2sum's implementation diverges a bit from the others.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cksum invocation): Adjust the summary to
identify the new mode, and document the new --algorithm option.
* man/cksum.x: Adjust description to be more general.
* man/*sum.x: Add [See Also] section referencing cksum(1).
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
digest: refactor cksum(1) into digest.c
* cfg.mk: Adjust cksum.c to not require config.h
and support a main (for crctab) without calling bindtextdomain().
* po/POTFILES.in: Remove cksum_pclmul.c since it no longer
concerns itself with diagnostics.
* src/cksum.c: Refactor to just providing stream digest,
and digest printing functionality.
* src/cksum.h: Adjust to the new interface.
* src/cksum_pclmul.c: Remove diagnostics, and determine errors
internally.
* src/crctab.c: Separate from cksum.h since that's now included
multiple times.
* src/digest.c: Provide cksum(1) functionality if -DHASH_ALGO_CKSUM
* src/local.mk: Adjust to new crctab.c and HASH_ALGO_CKSUM define.

digest: refactor sum(1) into digest.c
Since digest will be providing all digest functionality,
refactor sum.c into it.
* po/POTFILES.in: sum.c no longer has translatable strings so remove.
* src/digest.c: Call out to new stream interfaces in sum.c
* src/local.mk: Adjust sources for the sum binary.
* src/sum.c: Provide a stream interface for BSD and SYSV digests.

* src/logname.c: Clarify that it prints the login name,
rather than the name of the effective user ID.

The input buffer length was not divisible by 3, resulting in
decoding errors.
* NEWS: Mention fix.
* src/basenc.c (DEC_BLOCKSIZE): Change from 1024*5 to 4200 (35*3*5*8)
which is divisible by 3,4,5,8 - satisfying both base32 and base64;

This patch modifies basenc to prefer signed integers to
unsigned, as signed are less error-prone.

Prefer signed integers to unsigned.
(main): Treat extremely large wrap columns as if they were
infinite; that’s good enough. Since we’re now using xstrtoimax,
this allows ‘-w -0’ (same as ‘-w 0’).

PTRDIFF_MAX as infinite, to avoid pointer-subtraction glitches.
(stdout_isatty): New function, to avoid calling isatty twice.
(decode_switches): Calculate defaults more lazily, to avoid using
syscalls or getenv during startup unless the results are more

(format_user_or_group, format_user_or_group_width):
ID arg is now uintmax_t, not unsigned long, since uid_t and
gid_t values might exceed ULONG_MAX.
(format_user_or_group_width): Use snprintf with NULL instead of
sprintf with a discarded buffer. This avoids a stack buffer,

build: update gnulib submodule to latest
Coreutils mistakenly did not list xstrndup as a module
that it depends on directly. When the latest Gnulib removed
the dirname module's dependency on xstrndup, this mistake
caused coreutils to not build. Since all of Coreutils's
uses of xstrndup know the string length, xmemdup0 is a better
match for what's needed. Since the size args are typically
signed or derived from subtracting pointers, the new Gnulib
ximemdup0 function is a better match yet.
So, use ximemdup0 instead of xstrndup.

copy: disallow copy_file_range() on Linux kernels before 5.3
copy_file_range() before Linux kernel release 5.3 had many issues,
as described at https://lwn.net/Articles/789527/, which was
referenced from https://lwn.net/Articles/846403/; a more general
article discussing the generality of copy_file_range().
Linux kernel 5.3 was released in September 2019, which is new enough
that we need to actively avoid older kernels.
* src/copy.c (functional_copy_file_range): A new function
that returns false for Linux kernels before version 5.3.
(sparse_copy): Call this new function to gate use of
copy_file_range().

copy: handle system security config issues with copy_file_range()
* src/copy.c (sparse_copy): Upon EPERM from copy_file_range(),
fall back to a standard copy, which will give a more accurate
error as to whether the issue is with the source or destination.
Also this will avoid the issue where seccomp or apparmor are
not configured to handle copy_file_range(), in which case
the fall back standard copy would succeed without issue.
This specific issue with seccomp was noticed for example in:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/40900
copy: handle EOPNOTSUPP from SEEK_DATA
* src/copy.c (infer_scantype): Ensure we don't error out
if SEEK_DATA returns EOPNOTSUPP, on systems where this value
is distinct from ENOTSUP. Generally both of these should be checked.
copy: handle ENOTSUP from copy_file_range()
* src/copy.c (sparse_copy): Ensure we fall back to

ls: cache name width determination
This is especially important now for --sort=width,
as that can greatly increase how often this
expensive quote_name_width() function is called per file.
This also helps the default invocation of ls,
or specifically the --format={across,vertical} cases
(when --width is not set to 0),
to avoid two calls to this function per file.
Note the only case where we later compute the width,
is for --format=commas. That's only done once though,
so we leave the computation close to use to
maximize hardware caching.
* src/ls.c (struct fileinfo): Add a WIDTH member to cache
the screen width of the file name.
(update_current_files_info): Set the WIDTH members for cases
they're needed multiple times. Note we do this explicitly here,
rather than caching at use, so that the fileinfo
structures can remain const in the sorting and presentation functions.
(sort_files): Call the new update_current_files_info() in this
initialization function.
(fileinfo_name_width): Renamed from fileinfo_width,
and adjusted to return the cached value if available.

rm: do not skip files upon failure to remove an empty dir
When removing a directory fails for some reason, and that directory
is empty, the rm_fts code gets the return value of the excise call
confused with the return value of its earlier call to prompt,

that rm would otherwise have deleted to survive.

maint: avoid strncat warning on GCC
GCC 10.1.1 without optimization gives:
error: ‘strncat’ argument 2 declared attribute ‘nonstring’
[-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
strncat (comment, UT_ID (utmp_ent), utmpsize);
Note the strncat man page says that:
"src does not need to be null-terminated
if it contains n or more bytes."
And the POSIX spec says that the second (source) parameter
is an array not a string.
So I think it's incorrect for strncat to require src be a string type.
This constraint seems to be being added to the gcc builtin strncat,
as specifiying -fno-builtin also avoids the warning.
Note specifying any optimization level also avoids the warning.

typically just one getrandom syscall instead of several for large
nonces.
* gl/lib/randread.c: Include sys/random.h instead of sys/time.h
and unistd.h.
(get_nonce): Use getrandom, not getentropy.
* gl/modules/randread (Depends-on):
Depend on getrandom, not getentropy.
* src/shred.c (main):
* src/shuf.c (main):
* src/sort.c (random_md5_state_init):
Say "getrandom" rather than "getentropy" in (unlikely) diagnostic.
maint: use getentropy and new tempname modules
Update gnulib submodule to latest and use its new features.
Gnulib’s new getentropy module means coreutils can now assume
getentropy instead of approximating it, badly in some cases.
Gnulib’s improvements to the tempname module mean coreutils no
longer needs to maintain private patches.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove gettimeofday.
* gl/lib/randread.c (NAME_OF_NONCE_DEVICE): Remove.
(get_nonce): Return success indicator. Remove bytes_bound arg.
All callers changed. Rewrite by using getentropy instead of
reading the nonce device and falling back on gettimeofday.
Fail if getentropy fails.
(randread_new): Return NULL (setting errno) if get_nonce fails.
All callers changed.
* gl/lib/tempname.c.diff, gl/lib/tempname.h.diff:
* gl/modules/tempname.diff: Remove.
* gl/modules/randread (Depends-on):
Depend on getentropy, not gettimeofday.
* src/ptx.c (swallow_file_in_memory):
* src/shuf.c (read_input):
Adjust to read_file changes in Gnulib.
* src/shred.c (main):
* src/shuf.c (main):
* src/sort.c (random_md5_state_init):
Diagnose the new form of randread_new failures: randread_new can
fail now when !random_source, meaning getentropy failed.
echo: pacify Oracle Studio 12.6
* src/echo.c (main): Don’t assign pointer to bool.
This is well-defined in C99, but is arguably bad style
and Oracle Studio 12.6 complains.

maint: copy FDL from gnulib instead of using it as module

tests: fix removed-directory test
The previous attempt to skip that test on NFS (commit 4181fc518362)
made the test fail; it introduced two problems:
a) In the good case, i.e., when the subshell returns with exit status 0,
the test ran into framework_failure_.
b) As the subshell also runs with 'set -x', the later comparison of
/dev/null with 'err' would fail.
* tests/ls/removed-directory.sh: Revert to the style without subshell,
and add 'test -d .' to verify that 'ls' can read the removed dir.

-Wno-type-limits. The need for -Wno-type-limits has passed, now
that intprops.h uses builtin primitives for GCC 5 and later, given
that recent GCCs issue type-limits warnings only for non-constant
expressions. --enable-gcc-warnings is not intended for use with
old compilers, so we can drop -Wno-type-limits now.

ls: use statx instead of stat when available
statx allows ls to indicate interest in only certain inode metadata.
This is potentially a win on networked/clustered/distributed
file systems. In cases where we'd have to do a full, heavyweight stat()
call we can now do a much lighter statx() call.
As a real-world example, consider a file system like CephFS where one
client is actively writing to a file and another client does an
ls --color in the same directory. --color means that we need to fetch
the mode of the file.
Doing that with a stat() call means that we have to fetch the size and
mtime in addition to the mode. The MDS in that situation will have to
revoke caps in order to ensure that it has up-to-date values to report,
which disrupts the writer.
This has a measurable affect on performance. I ran a fio sequential
write test on one cephfs client and had a second client do "ls --color"
in a tight loop on the directory that held the file:
Baseline -- no activity on the second client:
WRITE: bw=76.7MiB/s (80.4MB/s), 76.7MiB/s-76.7MiB/s (80.4MB/s-80.4MB/s),
io=4600MiB (4824MB), run=60016-60016msec
Without this patch series, we see a noticable performance hit:
WRITE: bw=70.4MiB/s (73.9MB/s), 70.4MiB/s-70.4MiB/s (73.9MB/s-73.9MB/s),
io=4228MiB (4433MB), run=60012-60012msec
With this patch series, we gain most of that ground back:
WRITE: bw=75.9MiB/s (79.6MB/s), 75.9MiB/s-75.9MiB/s (79.6MB/s-79.6MB/s),
io=4555MiB (4776MB), run=60019-60019msec

seq: fix superfluous output line
Under certain circumstances seq prints an extra line when the output
format has custom format with characters following the printed numbers:
$ seq -f "%g " 1000000 1000000

1e+06
This is due to the "print_extra_number" logic using strings to determine
whether a 'extra number' is needed, but only one string was trimmed
when using a custom printf format.

stat: don't explicitly request file size for filenames
When calling 'stat -c %N' to print the filename, don't explicitly
request the size of the file via statx(), as it may add overhead on
some filesystems. The size is only needed to optimize an allocation
for the relatively rare case of reading a symlink name, and the worst
effect is a somewhat-too-large temporary buffer may be allocated for
areadlink_with_size(), or internal retries if buffer is too small.
The file size will be returned by statx() on most filesystems, even
if not requested, unless the filesystem considers this to be too
expensive for that file, in which case the tradeoff is worthwhile.
* src/stat.c: Don't explicitly request STATX_SIZE for filenames.

2019-03-04 Assaf Gordon <assafgordon@gmail.com>
env: new options --{default,ignore,block}-signal[=SIG]
New options to set signal handlers for the command being executed.
--block-signal suggested by Paul Eggert in http://bugs.gnu.org/34488#71
--default-signal is useful to overcome the POSIX limitation that shell
must not override inherited signal state, e.g. the second 'trap' here is
a no-op:
trap '' PIPE && sh -c 'trap - PIPE ; seq inf | head -n1'
Instead use:
trap '' PIPE && sh -c 'env --default-signal=PIPE seq inf | head -n1'
Similarly, the following will prevent CTRL-C from terminating the
program:
env --ignore-signal=INT seq inf > /dev/null
See https://bugs.gnu.org/34488#8

ln: avoid directory hard-link races
Previously, 'ln A B' did 'stat("B"), lstat("A"), link("A","B")'
where the stat and lstat were necessary to avoid hard-linking
directories on systems that can hard-link directories.
Now, in situations that prohibit hard links to directories,
'ln A B' merely does 'link("A","B")'. The new behavior
avoids some races and should be more efficient.
This patch was inspired by Bug#10020, which was about 'ln'.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add unlinkdir.
* src/force-link.c (force_linkat, force_symlinkat): New arg for
error number of previous try. Return error number, 0, or -1 if
error, success, or success after removal. All callers changed.

(do_link): New arg for error number of previous try. All callers

(main): Do -r check earlier. Remove linkdir privileges so we can
use a single linkat/symlinkat instead of a racy substitute for the
common case of 'ln A B' and 'ln -s A B'. Set beware_hard_dir_link
to disable this optimization.

tests: initialize fail=0 to avoid "unary operator expected" errors
With an uninitialized variable 'fail', the unquoted use like
test $fail = 1
lead to the shell error
"unary operator expected".
The uninitialized 'fail' variable was a side effect of
https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=e91c0d4f9
which was pulled into coreutils-v8.26 with
https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=ef9650170
Coreutils test code relied and relies on 'fail' to be initialized,
so initialize that variable here.

cp: set appropriate default permissions for special files
This issue was introduced in commit v8.19-145-g24ebca6

to use with --no-preserve=mode, only set executable bits for
directories or sockets.

doc: use consistent example format in manual

This is especially true for the synopsis of commands.
@smallexample is rendered left aligned for HTML
which is awkward to read with the center aligned main content.

mv: clarify ‘mv -n A A’ change
mv: fewer syscalls for ‘mv a b’
This builds on a previous patch for mv atomicity (Bug#29961).
It merely improves performance; it does not fix bugs.
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): New members last_file, rename_errno.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Support new rename_errno member
for the copy options. Avoid calling stat when new members
suggest it’s not needed.
(cp_options_default): Initialize new members.
* src/mv.c: Include renameat2.h.
(main): With two arguments, first call ‘renamat2 (AT_FDCWD, "a",
AT_FDCWD, "b", RENAME_NOREPLACE)’. Use its results to skip
remaining processing if possible; for example, if it succeeds
there is no need to stat either "a" or "b". Also, set
x.last_file when it is the last file to rename.
mv: improve -n atomicity
Problem reported by Kamil Dudka (Bug#29961).
* NEWS: Mention this.
* src/copy.c: Include renameat2.h.
(copy_internal): If mv, try renameat2 first thing, with
RENAME_NOREPLACE. If this works, skip most of the remaining code.
Also, fail quickly if it fails with EEXIST, and we are using -n.

doc: warn about following symlinks recursively in chown/chgrp
In both chown and chgrp (which shares its code with chown), operating

dd: fix nocache regions passed to posix_fadvise()
Previously with oflag=direct the call to invalidate_cache()
was not passed to the kernel, as it was less than a page size,
and a subsequent call was not made to invalidate the pending space.
Similarly with oflag=nocache the pending space at EOF was
not invalidated. Even though these amount to only a single page
in the page cache it can be significant. For example on
XFS before kernel patch v4.9-rc1-4-g0ee7a3f, O_DIRECT files
would have been read inefficiently if any pages were cached,
even if they were already synced to storage.
* src/dd.c (i_nocache_eof, o_nocache_eof): New bools used
to control when we want invalidate_cache(,0) to clear to EOF.
(cache_round): Use IO_BUFSIZE (currently 132KiB) to minimize
calls to the relatively expensive advise function, rather
than page_size. This also makes it clear that while the
kernel function operates on pages, this size is chosen for
performance reasons.
(invalidate_cache): Refactor to share more code between
input and output paths. Use i_nocache_eof and o_nocache_eof
rather than proxying off max_records. Ensure we
invalidate full pages when clearing to EOF as the kernel
will ignore any non complete pages. Fix the offset used
for the output path.
(dd_copy): Invalidate the cache of the input after the
offset is updated, for consistency and so we don't try to
invalidate before the start of the file. When we read
EOF on input, set flags so that we invalidate to EOF.
(main): Invalidate to EOF in more cases, by depending
on the i_nocache_eof and o_nocache_eof flags.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Clarify the alignment
and persisted caveats on the example applying "nocache"
to part of a file.
* tests/dd/nocache_eof.sh: A new test.

runcon: revert "disable use of the TIOCSTI ioctl"
This reverts commit v8.27-97-g8cb06d4 because
the setsid() fallback was not implemented correctly

the tty of the parent.

the advice is to use `runcon ... setsid ...`

df: avoid stat() for dummy file systems with -l
When systemd is configured to automount a remote file system - see
'man systemd.automount(5)', then the mount point is initially
mounted by systemd with the file system type "autofs".
When the resource is used later on, then the wanted file system is
mounted over that mount point on demand.
'df -l' triggered systemd to mount the file system because it called
stat() on the mount point.
Instead of single-casing "autofs" targets, we can avoid stat()ing
all dummy file systems (which includes "autofs"), because those are
skipped later on in get_dev() anyway.
*src/df.c (filter_mount_list): Also skip dummy file systems unless
the -a option or a specific target are given.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

Prefer ptrdiff_t to size_t where either will do.
(total_line_count, file_line_count, OCCURS, fix_output_parameters)
(define_all_fields):
Use intmax_t, not int, for line counts.

Omit unnecessary cast.
(fix_output_parameters): Don’t assume integers fit in 11 digits.
(fix_output_parameters, define_all_fields):

nohup: simplify by using fcntl
* src/nohup.c: Do not include cloexec.h.
(main): Use fcntl rather than dup + set_cloexec_flag.
sort: use pthread_sigmask, not sigprocmask
POSIX says sigprocmask has unspecified behavior in a multithreaded
program like ‘sort’.
* src/sort.c (pthread_sigmask) [GNULIB_defined_pthread_functions]:
New macro, for use when ‘sort’ is not multithreaded.
(cs_enter, cs_leave): Use it. Pass address, not value, as
this is typically a tad faster. All callers changed.
sort: minor cleanups
* src/sort.c (move_fd): Rename from move_fd_or_die,
since it no longer can die.
sort: file descriptor discipline
Use O_CLOEXEC when creating file descriptors, so that subsidiary
processes do not inherit file descriptors that they do not need.
This is helpful for ‘sort’, as it is a multithreaded program that
forks and execs.

groups: do not exit early
Most programs take care to operate on all command-line-specified
operands before exiting. That is an important feature that allows

maint: avoid spurious "make distcheck" failure
When the generated file, doc/constants.texi, happens to be older than
doc/coreutils.info, it will not be updated until/unless its generated
contents change. This is due to way that rule is careful to update
the file, to avoid provoking a pointless rerunning of makeinfo.
Note that this does not happen when one first runs "make distclean",
as recommended in README-release. However, I sometimes run it as
a more-rigorous "make check", and shouldn't have to manually run
"make distclean" first, in that case.
Before this change, one could reproduce the failure by running
`touch -dyesterday doc/constants.texi && make distcheck`. It would
fail with "makeinfo: could not open ../../doc/coreutils.info-t
for writing: Permission denied"
* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Touch the two generated files, so that
they cannot be out of date wrt doc/coreutils.texi.

split: ensure input is processed when filters exit early
commit v8.25-4-g62e7af0 introduced the issue as it
broke out of the processing loop irrespective of
the value of new_file_flag which was used to indicate
a finite number of filters or not.
For example, this ran forever (as it should):
$ yes | split --filter="head -c1 >/dev/null" -b 1000
However this exited immediately due to EPIPE being propagated
back through cwrite and the loop not considering new filters:
$ yes | split --filter="head -c1 >/dev/null" -b 100000
Similarly processing would exit early for a bounded number of
output files, resulting in empty data sent to all but the first:
$ truncate -s10T big.in
$ split --filter='head -c1 >$FILE' -n 2 big.in
$ echo $(stat -c%s x??)
1 0
I was alerted to this code by clang-analyzer,
which indicated dead assigments, which is often
an indication of code that hasn't considered all cases.

the processing loop to also consider the number of files
