* src/du.c: Likewise.
* src/getlimits.c: Likewise.

* AUTHORS: Adjust to use ASCII to satisfy sc_check-AUTHORS.

<id>urn:sha1:492dcb2eb191b844a2fd5e51db3eed85289bea1f</id>
<content type='text'>
die() has the advantage of being apparent to the compiler
that it doesn't return, which will avoid warnings in some cases,
and possibly generate better code.
* cfg.mk (sc_die_EXIT_FAILURE): A new syntax check rule to
catch any new uses of error (CONSTANT, ...);

<id>urn:sha1:08e8fd7e38f2dae7c69c54eb22d508b6517e66e5</id>
<content type='text'>
Quote file names using the "shell-escape" or "shell-escape-always"
methods, which quote as appropriate for most shells,
and better support copy and paste of presented names.
The "always" variant is used when the file name is
embedded in an error message with surrounding spaces.

* cfg.mk (sc_error_shell_quotes): A new syntax check rule
to suggest quotef() where appropriate.
(sc_error_shell_always_quotes): Likewise for quoteaf().
* src/system.h (quotef): A new define to apply shell quoting
when needed.  I.E. when shell character or ':' is present.
(quoteaf): Likewise, but always quote.
* src/*.c: Use quotef() and quoteaf() rather than quote()
where appropriate.
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.

<content type='text'>
These strings are often file names or other user specified
parameters, which can give confusing errors in
the presence of unexpected characters for example.

* cfg.mk (sc_error_quotes): A new syntax check rule.
* src/*.c: Wrap error() string arguments with quote().
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

<content type='text'>
* src/system.h (emit_stdin_note): A new function, refactoring
the usage note about the '-' FILE implying stdin.
* src/base64.c (usage): Use the new function to emit the
note in a standard location and with standard separation.
* src/cat.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/csplit.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/cut.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/expand.c (usage): Likewise.

the message referring to FILE1 or FILE2 as stdin.
* src/comm.c (usage): Add a message using the same
wording (translation) as used in join.
* src/split.c (usage): Reword to using FILE rather than
INPUT, allowing use of emit_stdin_note().  Also remove
the mention of "fixed-size" pieces as this isn't now
always the case.

<id>urn:sha1:a5c8cdff03182ceafae39ccde6a07ebd8660b087</id>
<content type='text'>
To align with all other places (and correct grammar), change all
upper-case "I.E." to "I.e.".  Furthermore, ensure that "i.e." is
followed by a comma.  Finally, ensure to use a double-space before
"I.e.," at the beginning of a sentence.

The following was used to change all offending uses (apart from
old ChangeLog files):

  $ git grep -liF 'i.e.' \
      | xargs sed -i \
            -e 's/I\.E\./I.e./g' \
            -e 's/\. \(I\.e\.\)/.  \1/g' \
            -e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)\( \)/\1,\2/g' \
            -e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)$/\1,/g'

* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_uppercase_id_est): Add new rule.
(sc_ensure_double_space_after_dot_before_id_est): Likewise.
(sc_ensure_comma_after_id_est): Likewise.

* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): Take the invariant PROGRAM_NAME
as a parameter, so that consistent references are made to online docs
and texinfo nodes, when a --program-prefix is in place.  Note the
man pages don't need this fix as they're generated before the program
prefix is used.
