<content type='text'>
* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_file): Ensure we don't use
st_size unless we've previously used seek() to determine
the CURRENT_POS in the seekable file.
This was seen to cause issue on FreeBSD 11 when the pipe
buffer was filled with `yes | head --lines=-0`, in which
case st_size was 64KiB while ST_BLKSIZE() was 4KiB.

<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, ...);

<title>doc: avoid confusing K argument in the man pages of head and tail</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f7ab20cd606fe6f66028a382d1b5736c4fea9d15</id>
<content type='text'>
The character 'K' representing numeric user input can be confusing,
especially in the context where it can be suffixed by the multipliers
K, M, G, etc.
Use NUM instead.

* doc/coreutils.texi (head invocation): Replace @var{k} by @var{num}.
Also change @var{count} in the paragraph about the obsolete option
syntax.
(tail invocation): Likewise.  Furthermore, adjust the option order to
alphabetical sorting.
* src/head.c (usage): s/K/NUM/ in as placeholder in the -c and -n
options.  Furthermore, print the actual DEFAULT_NUMBER instead of the
hard-coded 10.
* src/tail.c (usage): s/K/NUM/ in as placeholder in the -c and -n
options.  Add "[+]" to clarify that NUM may optionally be preceded by
this sign.  Remove the redundant explanation of the optional '+' prefix
for NUM, as that is now clear from the option description above.

<title>all: avoid quoting file names when possible</title>

<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.

<title>all: replace most uses of quotearg_colon() with quote()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ab40a941a07d80326aaa051e3c94c88b800cbd7d</id>
<content type='text'>
Related to commit v8.24-61-g6796698 this provides
more consistent quoting, as quotearg_colon() defaults
to "literal" quoting by default, while quote()
provides appropriate quoting for diagnostics by default.

* gl/modules/randread: Depend on quote module rather than quotearg.
* gl/lib/randread.c: Used quote() not quotearg_colon().
* src/: Likewise.
* src/shred.c: Likewise. Also avoid unnecessary quoting
introducing overhead when wiping names.
* cfg.mk: Relax the matching expression to allow
"qname" variables as used in shred.c to satisfy the check.
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.

* src/sync.c (sync_arg): Initialise variable to avoid
unitialized access if assert is disabled.
* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_file): Support this function
with ---presume-input-pipe and larger files,
which regressed with commit v8.23-47-g2662702.
(elide_tail_lines_file): Likewise.
* src/dd.c (dd_copy): Explicitly don't try to ftruncate()
upon failure to lseek() (the existing check against
st_size was already protecting that).
* src/factor.c (factor_using_squfof): Assert (only when
linting due to performance) to avoid the implication of
divide by zero.
* src/od.c (read_block): Remove dead code.
* src/tac.c (tac_seekable): Likewise.
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): 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.
