system.h: correct compilation error: MAX not defined

2009-03-14T20:46:35Z

* src/system.h (io_blksize): Move definition down, so it follows that of MAX -- to avoid compilation failure on OpenSolaris. Reported by David Bartley. Details in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-03/msg00190.html

cat,cp,mv,install,split: Set the minimum IO block size used to 32KiB

2009-03-11T14:19:08Z

This is following on from this change: [02c3dc9d 2008-03-06 cat: use larger buffer sizes ...] which increased the IO block size used by cat by 8 times, but also capped it at 32KiB. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. * src/system.h: Add a new io_blksize() function that returns the max of ST_BLKSIZE or 32KiB, as this was seen as a good value for a minimum block size to use to get good performance while minimizing system call overhead. * src/cat.c: Use it. * src/copy.c: ditto * src/split.c: ditto

maint: avoid gcc warning about missing attributes

2009-03-02T08:10:17Z

doc: emit better bug-reporting info, to help help2man

2009-01-27T19:20:20Z

* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): End each "sentence" with period, mark URLs with <...>. Based on a suggestion from Eric Blake. Use fputs on a string without %s, not printf.

build: resolve conflict with new declaration from version-etc.h

2009-01-23T17:27:36Z

* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): Define away, now, gnulib's version-etc.h also declares this function. In this package, we choose to include each program's name in the diagnostic. Define away the conflicting declaration. (emit_bug_reporting_address): Also emit home page and "General help..." links, like the new function does. Reported by Bob Proulx.

no longer define *_FILENO constants

2009-01-19T20:27:57Z

* src/system.h (STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO, STDERR_FILENO): Remove definitions. Now guaranteed by gnulib.
