when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels. * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat. (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that. Write any pending output before returning. Reported by Dan Jacobson in . * NEWS: Mention this bug fix. * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.

Undo previous change.

Remove support for -B. Use same rules as other programs to decide whether to use binary I/O, except that the -bensAE options always select text mode. (main): Avoid setmode; use POSIX-specified routines instead.

Use only HAVE_SYS_IOCTL_H to decide whether to include sys/ioctl.h.

Include stropt.h if available.

2005-07-08T22:54:15Z

Use HAVE_FIONREAD_IN_SYS_IOCTL instead of _POSIX_SOURCE to decide whether to include .

Don't embed `this'-style quotes in format strings.

2005-06-16T21:40:43Z

Include "quote.h". Rather than this: error (..., "...`%s'...", arg); do this: error (..., "...%s...", quote (arg));

(close_stdout_wrapper): Likewise.
