coreutils/src/ln.c, branch v6.7

"ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:

2006-11-18T19:00:39Z

ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case. (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/. * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup. * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.

* src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting

problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in .

Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.

* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like

S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now. * src/cp.c (main): Likewise. * src/ln.c (main): Likewise. * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise. * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise. * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.

* src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.

(linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker

bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.

(target_directory_operand, main): Use new last_component, in place of base_name.

2006-03-26T12:07:04Z

(do_link, usage): Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.

(do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.

Include filenamecat.c.

2005-11-05T09:34:57Z

(FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove. (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed. (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids the use of alloca.

(FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the

boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
