coreutils/src/sort.c, branch v5.2.0

(usage) [-u]: Add punctuation so that the description in

the help2man-generated (line-joined) man page is more readable. Reported by Tim Waugh. [-T]: Add a semicolon, for the same reason.

(usage): Use EXIT_SUCCESS, not 0, for clarity.

(main): Use initialize_exit_failure rather than setting exit_failure directly; this optimizes away redundant assignments. Don't include . (SORT_OUT_OF_ORDER, SORT_FAILURE): Now enums, not macros. (usage): Don't use 'assert'. (main): Remove redundant assignment to exit_failure.

(add_temp_dir): Use x2nrealloc rather than xrealloc.

(fillbuf): Use x2nrealloc rather than xrealloc. (sort): Use xnmalloc rather than xmalloc. (main): Likewise.

(new_key): Use xzalloc, not xcalloc.

2003-11-04T09:28:28Z

(inittables): Use `sizeof *var' rather than `sizeof EXPLICIT_TYPE'.

of 2003-09-19. Now, AUTHORS is a comma-separated list of strings. Update the call to parse_long_options so that `AUTHORS, NULL' are the last parameters. * src/true.c (main): Append NULL to version_etc argument list. * src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Likewise.

(parse_field_count): Handle the case where overflow

and invalid suffix char are both reported.

Remove unnecessary casts of alloca, since now it's guaranteed to be (void *).

2003-09-28T08:21:14Z

(WRITTEN_BY): Rename from AUTHORS.

2003-09-18T22:19:03Z

Begin each WRITTEN_BY string with `Written by ' and end it with `.'. Mark each WRITTEN_BY string as translatable.
