maint: use clearerr on stdin when appropriate

2021-08-22T20:10:26Z

This is so that commands like ‘fmt - -’ read from stdin both times, even when it is a tty. Fix some other minor issues that are related. * src/blake2/b2sum.c (main): * src/cksum.c (cksum): * src/cut.c (cut_file): * src/expand-common.c (next_file): * src/fmt.c (fmt): * src/fold.c (fold_file): * src/md5sum.c (digest_file, digest_check): * src/nl.c (nl_file): * src/od.c (check_and_close): * src/paste.c (paste_parallel, paste_serial): * src/pr.c (close_file): * src/sum.c (bsd_sum_file): Use clearerr on stdin so that stdin can be read multiple times even if it is a tty. Do not assume that ferror preserves errno as POSIX does not guarantee this. Coalesce duplicate diagnostic calls. * src/blake2/b2sum.c (main): * src/fmt.c (main, fmt): Report read error, even if it's merely fclose failure. * src/fmt.c: Include die.h. (fmt): New arg FILE. Close input (reporting error) if not stdin. All callers changed. * src/ptx.c (swallow_file_in_memory): Clear stdin's EOF flag. * src/sort.c (xfclose): Remove unnecessary feof call.

doc: modernize usage of “disk” and “core”

2021-07-28T19:30:12Z

In documentation and comments, don’t assume that secondary storage devices are disk devices. Similarly, don’t assume that main memory uses magnetic cores, which became obsolete in the 1970s. * src/du.c (usage): * src/ls.c (usage): * src/shred.c (usage): Reword to avoid “disk” in usage messages.

maint: use "char const " rather than "const char "

2021-04-11T17:33:45Z

* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit-const-char): Add a new syntax-check to enforce this style. * *.[ch]: sed -i 's/const char \*/char const */g'

ptx: remove use of diacrit module

2021-03-21T21:01:15Z

The diacrit module is obsolete, and ptx’s use of it is obsolete too; it assumes an 8-bit locale (not that common these days) and that TeX cannot process the 8-bit characters (nowadays, it can). * NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi (Charset selection in ptx): Document this. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove diacrit. * src/ptx.c: Do not include diacrit.h. (print_field, fix_output_parameters): Remove obsolete support for 8-bit diacritics.

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2021-01-01T16:36:09Z

Run "make update-copyright" and then... * gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted. * tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year. * bootstrap: Likewise. * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

maint: use getentropy and new tempname modules

2020-06-01T05:39:48Z

Update gnulib submodule to latest and use its new features. Gnulib’s new getentropy module means coreutils can now assume getentropy instead of approximating it, badly in some cases. Gnulib’s improvements to the tempname module mean coreutils no longer needs to maintain private patches. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove gettimeofday. * gl/lib/randread.c (NAME_OF_NONCE_DEVICE): Remove. (get_nonce): Return success indicator. Remove bytes_bound arg. All callers changed. Rewrite by using getentropy instead of reading the nonce device and falling back on gettimeofday. Fail if getentropy fails. (randread_new): Return NULL (setting errno) if get_nonce fails. All callers changed. * gl/lib/tempname.c.diff, gl/lib/tempname.h.diff: * gl/modules/tempname.diff: Remove. * gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Depend on getentropy, not gettimeofday. * src/ptx.c (swallow_file_in_memory): * src/shuf.c (read_input): Adjust to read_file changes in Gnulib. * src/shred.c (main): * src/shuf.c (main): * src/sort.c (random_md5_state_init): Diagnose the new form of randread_new failures: randread_new can fail now when !random_source, meaning getentropy failed.

all: improve parsing of numeric arguments

2019-10-22T22:04:43Z

This addresses a longstanding "update all callers" FIXME in lib/xstrtol.c, by having programs check that numbers do not have unknown suffixes. The problem was also reported for 'shuf' by my student Maggie Huang while reimplementing a shuf subset in Python as an exercise in UCLA Computer Science 35L: https://web.cs.ucla.edu/classes/fall19/cs35L/assign/assign3.html This patch also improves the portability of the code to unusual platforms where ULONG_MAX < SIZE_MAX. * NEWS: Mention user-visible changes. * src/chgrp.c (parse_group): * src/chroot.c (parse_additional_groups): * src/du.c (main): * src/install.c (get_ids): * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): * src/ls.c (decode_switches): * src/md5sum.c (split_3): * src/shuf.c (main): * src/sort.c (specify_nthreads): * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Use uintmax_t instead of unsigned long, for portability to oddball platforms where unsigned long is not wide enough. * src/du.c (main): * src/expr.c (mpz_init_set_str) [!HAVE_GMP]: * src/install.c (get_ids): * src/ls.c (decode_switches): * src/mknod.c (main): * src/ptx.c (main): * src/shuf.c (main): * src/sort.c (specify_nmerge, specify_nthreads): Reject numbers with suffixes. * src/md5sum.c (split_3): Simplify.
