* src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to

initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less likely to introduce an runtime error due to a mixup. It causes gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers. * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise. * src/shred.c (main): Likewise. * src/stty.c (main): Likewise. * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise. * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.

Avoid a compiler warning.

* src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.

2005-05-30T07:05:07Z

Define to 256, not 255, as per modern POSIX.

Update FSF postal mail address.

Update FSF postal mail address.

2005-05-14T06:57:06Z

Update copyright date.

(PORTABILITY_OPTION): New constant.

2005-01-10T18:09:02Z

(longopts, usage, main, validate_file_name): Add support for new -P option. Reject empty file names (unless -p is not specified and the current system allows empty file names). Change --portability so that is now equivalent to -p -P. Don't test whether file name is too long, if it is known to exist. (no_leading_hyphen): New function.

(validate_file_name): Give a more descriptive

diagnostic when pathconf fails. This also avoids an unwarranted warning from gcc-3.3.5 about a format not being a string literal.

(AUTHORS): Add self.

2004-10-18T06:30:49Z

Change "path" to "file name" whenever possible. Remove usage comment, as it was a duplication of the code or doc. Include if available. (mbrlen, mbstate_t) [! (HAVE_MBRLEN && HAVE_MBSTATE_T)]: Define. (NEED_PATHCONF_WRAPPER, PATH_MAX, PATH_MAX_FOR, NAME_MAX, pathconf_wrapper, portable_chars, dir_ok): Remove. (NAME_MAX_MINIMUM, PATH_MAX_MINIMUM): New macros. (pathconf, _PC_NAME_MAX, _PC_PATH_MAX): Define if nonexistent. (portable_chars_only): New arg FILELEN. Don't assume ASCII; we might be on an EBCDIC host. Don't assume unibyte locale in diagnostic. (component_start, component_len): New functions. (validate_file_name): Renamed from validate_path. All uses changed. Pretty much a complete rewrite. Don't make copy of file arg. Always append trailing slash to pathconf arg, just in case it's a symlink (this is pure paranoia; we don't know of any hosts where the trailing slash is required). Use size_t instead of long int when possible. Avoid need to call pathconf in most practical cases. Don't use euidaccess several times to test searchability; just use lstat once. Reword diagnostic to put the (often very long) file names last.

(longopts): Add --help, --version.

(main): Use longopts rather than parse_long_options. (main): Don't reorder arguments, so that we can check weird file names.
