csplit: avoid buffer overrun when writing more than 999 files2010-11-10T13:28:03ZJim Meyeringmeyering@redhat.com2010-11-10T12:53:38Zurn:sha1:0cfd4f2161de5e942cbd7c273d03a90c1dfd2062
Without this fix, seq 1000 | csplit - /./ '{*}' would write
the NUL-terminated file name, xx1000, into a buffer of size 6.
* src/csplit.c (main): Use properly sized file name buffer.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* tests/misc/csplit-1000: New test to trigger the bug.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/csplit-1000.
stat: use e.g. %.3X instead of %X.%3:X for sub-second precision2010-11-06T14:24:49ZPaul Eggerteggert@cs.ucla.edu2010-11-06T02:35:12Zurn:sha1:c7375c236ca5fa23661388e9f9c41e8312eb0cce
* NEWS: Document this.
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Likewise.
* gl/lib/fstimeprec.c, gl/lib/fstimeprec.h, gl/modules/fstimeprec:
* gl/modules/fstimeprec-tests, gl/tests/test-fstimeprec.c:
New files.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fstimeprec.
* src/stat.c: Include fstimeprec.h. Don't include xstrtol.h.
(decimal_point, decimal_point_len): New static vars.
(main): Initialize them.
(epoch_sec, out_ns): Remove.
(out_int, out_uint): Now returns whatever printf returned.
(out_minus_zero, out_epoch_secs): New functions.
(print_stat): Use out_epoch_sec instead of out_ns and epoch_sec.
(print_stat, print_it, usage): Remove the %:X-style formats.
* tests/misc/stat-nanoseconds: Set TZ=UTC0 to avoid problems
with weird time zones. Use a time stamp near the Epoch so that we
don't have to worry about leap seconds. Redo test cases to match
new behavior.
* tests/touch/60-seconds: Change %Y.%:Y to %.9Y, to adjust to
new behavior.

Resolves bug#7324
* NEWS: Document the extent of the Solaris crash.
stat: revert %X-%Y-%Z change; use e.g., %:X to print fractional seconds2010-11-03T12:10:50ZJim Meyeringmeyering@redhat.com2010-10-21T16:41:24Zurn:sha1:db42ae787de7165ee3a1bbf8d4988d0698d7c1df
This reverts part of the recent commit 9069af45,
"stat: print timestamps to full resolution", which made %X, %Y, %Z
print floating point numbers. We prefer to retain portability of
%X, %Y and %Z uses, while still providing access to full-resolution
time stamps via modified format strings. Also make the new
%W consistent.
* src/stat.c: Include "xstrtol.h".
(print_it): Accept a new %...:[XYZ] format directive,
e.g., %:X, to print the nanoseconds portion of the corresponding time.
For example, %3.3:Y prints the zero-padded, truncated, milliseconds
part of the time of last modification.
(print_it): Update print_func signature to match.
(neg_to_zero): New helper function.
(epoch_time): Remove function; replace with...
(epoch_sec): New function; use timetostr.
(out_ns): New function. Use "09" only when no other modifier
is specified.
(print_statfs): Change type of "m" to unsigned int,
now that it must accommodate values larger than 255.
(print_stat): Likewise.
Map :X to a code of 'X' + 256. Likewise for Y, Z and W.
(usage): Update.
* tests/touch/60-seconds: Use %Y.%:Y in place of %Y.
* tests/misc/stat-nanoseconds: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention this.
With improvements by Pádraig Brady.
Thanks to Andreas Schwab for raising the issue.
cp: make --attributes-only override --reflink completely2010-10-27T10:18:51ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2010-10-26T16:55:10Zurn:sha1:883ac22239036025896ff99bd4b2a6d02712f39f
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Change the description slightly
so as users might not immediately discount using this option.
Mention that --reflink is overridden by the other linking options and
--attributes-only, and give an example where this might be useful.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Bypass the reflink if
--attributes-only is specifed.
* tests/cp/reflink-perm: Ensure both --reflink modes are
overridden by --attributes-only.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

tail: support rechecking currently missing remote dirs2010-10-25T14:41:53ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2010-10-24T13:02:12Zurn:sha1:c84ddbaa333fc502394941320d3abef2db6889f0
src/tail.c (main): As an optimization, don't bother checking
for stdin or remote files, when ---disable-inotify is specified.
To improve the fix in commit 61b77891, set the disable_inotify
flag when we fall back to polling, so that we recheck remote files.
