build: prohibit improper use of stat and lstat

2009-10-23T12:29:54Z

* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_stat_macro_address): New rule. * src/ln.c (do_link): Adjust comment to avoid false positive. * src/stat.c (do_stat): Likewise. * src/touch.c (main): Likewise.

ln: add -L/-P options

2009-09-25T13:03:03Z

* src/ln.c (STAT_LIKE_LINK): Delete. (logical): New flag. (long_options): Add -L, -P. (usage): Mention them. (main): Choose between them. (do_link): Perform correct action. * tests/ln/misc: Move hard-to-sym portion of test... * tests/ln/hard-to-sym: ...into new test, and add more. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run new test. * NEWS: Document this. * doc/coreutils.texi (link invocation, ln invocation): Likewise. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add linkat.

doc: mention the texinfo documentation in --help

2009-09-21T11:37:57Z

* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C' (and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page. Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command. Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it. * man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the --help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man. Suggestion from C de-Avillez

ln: add comments related to POSIX 2008

2009-09-04T20:54:55Z

* src/ln.c (ENABLE_HARD_LINK_TO_SYMLINK_WARNING): Delete. (do_link): Update comments per POSIX; add FIXME for -L, -P.

remove redundant const directives

2008-06-16T14:40:59Z

In 1463824d8e7f72c31f1d803d7cfe2b608ccafc5c, I added some missing "const" directives, as well as some new, redundant ones. This removes the redundant ones. Pointed out by Eric Blake. * base64.c, cat.c, chcon.c, chgrp.c, chmod.c, chown.c, comm.c: * cp.c, csplit.c, cut.c, date.c, dd.c, df.c, dircolors.c, du.c: * env.c, expand.c, fmt.c, fold.c, groups.c, head.c, id.c: * install.c, join.c, kill.c, ln.c, ls.c, md5sum.c, mkdir.c: * mkfifo.c, mknod.c, mktemp.c, mv.c, nice.c, nl.c, od.c: * paste.c, pathchk.c, pinky.c, pr.c, ptx.c, readlink.c, rm.c: * rmdir.c, runcon.c, seq.c, shred.c, shuf.c, sort.c, split.c: * stat.c, stty.c, su.c, sum.c, tac.c, tail.c, tee.c, timeout.c: * touch.c, tr.c, truncate.c, tty.c, uname.c, unexpand.c, uniq.c: * wc.c, who.c: Remove redundant const directives. * maint.mk (sc_const_long_option): Don't require redundant "const".
