maint: define usage note about mandatory args centrally

2013-01-23T00:03:38Z

Each program with at least one long option which is marked as 'required_argument' and which has also a short option for that option, should print a note about mandatory arguments. Define that well-known note centrally and use it rather than literal printf/fputs, and add it where it was missing. * src/system.h (emit_mandatory_arg_note): Add new function. * src/cp.c (usage): Use it rather than literal printf/fputs. * src/csplit.c, src/cut.c, src/date.c, src/df.c, src/du.c: * src/expand.c, src/fmt.c, src/fold.c, src/head.c, src/install.c: * src/kill.c, src/ln.c, src/ls.c, src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c: * src/mknod.c, src/mv.c, src/nl.c, src/od.c, src/paste.c: * src/pr.c, src/ptx.c, src/shred.c, src/shuf.c, src/sort.c: * src/split.c, src/stdbuf.c, src/tac.c, src/tail.c, src/timeout.c: * src/touch.c, src/truncate.c, src/unexpand.c, src/uniq.c: Likewise. * src/base64.c (usage): Add call of the above new function because at least one long option has a required argument. * src/basename.c, src/chcon.c, src/date.c, src/env.c: * src/nice.c, src/runcon.c, src/seq.c, src/stat.c, src/stty.c: Likewise.

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2013-01-01T03:51:20Z

Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.

maint: tell xgettext that fputs arg "93% of..." is not a C format string

2012-05-16T05:39:09Z

* src/fmt.c (usage): Add a comment to tell xgettext that the "% o" in fputs argument string of "...93% of..." is not a C format string. Reported by Toomas Soome, Göran Uddeborg, Petr Pisar, Primoz PETERLIN and Chusslove Illich via http://bugs.gnu.org/11470

maint: add assertions to placate static analysis tools

2012-05-16T05:36:26Z

A static analysis tool (http://labs.oracle.com/projects/parfait/) produced some false positive diagnostics. Add assertions to help it understand that the code is correct. * src/stty.c: Include . (display_changed): Add an assertion to placate parfait. (display_all): Likewise. * src/sort.c: Include . (main): Add an assertion to placate parfait. * src/fmt.c: Include . (get_paragraph): Add an assertion to placate parfait.

fmt: accept new --goal=WIDTH (-g) option

Accept -g for BSD/Plan9 compatibility. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * tests/fmt/goal-option: New test. * tests/fmt/long-line: Rename from tests/fmt-long-line. * tests/fmt/base: Rename from tests/misc/fmt. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document it. * src/fmt.c (main): Accept the new option (check_for_goals): new function to implement the operands Based on BSD's and Plan-9's fmt programs.

maint: use single copyright year range

2012-01-27T10:35:24Z

Run "make update-copyright".

maint: src/*.c: change remaining quotes (without embedded spaces)

2012-01-09T20:50:08Z

Run this (twice): git grep -E -l '`[^ ]+'\' src/*.c \ |xargs perl -pi -e 's/`([^ ]+'\'')/'\''$1/'

maint: prep for global quoting changes: handle irregular cases manually

2012-01-09T20:49:51Z

* src/chroot.c (usage): Change ``...'' to '...', and describe the default more accurately (also adding quotes): s,/bin/sh,'/bin/sh -i', * src/join.c (usage): Change ` ...'' ' to "...''". * src/fmt.c (isopen): Change `' to '` in list of bytes, so that a subsequent change can safely perform the `...' to '...' conversion. * src/truncate.c (main): Tweak quoting in comments to use '...', not `...`, for consistency with the rest of comments in coreutils.

maint: use new emit_try_help in place of equivalent fprintf

2012-01-07T15:54:26Z

Run this command: perl -0777 -pi -e \ 's/fprintf \(stderr, _\("Try `%s --help.*\n.*;/emit_try_help ();/m'\ src/*.c
