This wasn't provided previously as chmod(1) already ignored symlinks unless specified on the command line. Note chmod defaults to -H mode rather than the chown default of -P, as usually chown can work directly on symlinks and so defaults to not traversing those specified on the command line. Note FreeBSD chmod does default to -P mode, but we retain the -H mode default also for compatibility with existing chmod behavior. Adding -HLP will allow chmod to disable traversing CLI symlinks to dirs. Adding -h will allow to disable following CLI symlinks to files/dirs, also operating on all symlinks on systems that support that. Adding --dereference will be significant with -H (the default). I.e. symlinks to dirs not recursed, but symlinks are dereferenced. Adding these options will also be consistent with chown(1), chgrp(1), and chmod(1) on other systems. Note since chmod(1) currently ignores symlinks by default, and -h is primarily a mechanism to avoid following symlinks, rather than for operating on the symlink itself, we make -h try to chmod a symlink, but ignore ENOTSUP. In that way we're consistent with chown(1) where it also ignores ENOTSUP for symlinks, and we don't fail when trying to be extra secure with command line params. * doc/coreutils.texi (chmod invocation): Reference the -H,-L,-P descriptions, and adjust the corresponding macros to say the default is -H or -P as appropriate. Add --dereference and -h,--no-dereference descriptions. * man/chmod.x: Adjust discussion of symlink handling. * src/chmod.c (main): Accept new options and set fts flags appropriately. (process_file): Process / dereference symlinks as necessary. * src/system.h (emit_symlink_recurse_options): A new function refactored from chown.c and chmod.c usage(). * tests/chmod/symlinks.sh: New test for the new options. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. 2024-02-26T02:55:16Z Paul Eggert eggert@cs.ucla.edu 2024-02-24T22:03:42Z urn:sha1:9b6c25510bdb54b4f7f9abbfaf6d136c65202d99 * doc/coreutils.texi, man/readlink.x, man/runcon.x: * src/comm.c (usage): * src/digest.c (usage): * src/echo.c (usage): * src/join.c (usage): * src/ln.c (usage): * src/rm.c (usage): * src/stat.c (usage): * src/system.h (USAGE_BUILTIN_WARNING): * src/test.c (usage): * src/touch.c (usage): * src/uniq.c (usage): Rewrite to avoid most uses of “Note that” and similar wording.

The only significant behavior change is translating author names via proper_name_lite rather than proper_name_utf8, or not translating them at all. proper_name_lite is good enough for coreutils and avoids the bloat that had coreutils not using Gnulib proper_name. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Use propername-lite instead of propername. (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Look for proper_name_lite instead of for proper_name_utf8. * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove sc_proper_name_utf8_requires_ICONV, since we no longer use proper_name_utf8. (old_NEWS_hash): Update. (sc_check-I18N-AUTHORS): Remove; no longer needed.
