tests: wc,du: add additional --files0-from test cases

2026-03-01T02:36:34Z

* tests/wc/wc-files0-from.pl ($limits): New variable. (@Tests): Prefer the error strings from getlimits over writing them by hand. Add test cases for --files0-from listing missing files and duplicate files. * tests/du/files0-from.pl ($limits): New variable. (@Tests): Prefer the error strings from getlimits over writing them by hand. Add test cases for --files0-from listing missing files. Add tests for --files0-from listing duplicate files with and without the -l option also in use.

Identified here: * tests/du/hard-link.sh: Add the check.

du: add the short option -A corresponding to --apparent-size

2025-11-28T22:08:31Z

The --apparent-size option to 'du' was added in coreutils-4.5.8 (2003). FreeBSD 8.0 (2009) added the same functionality under the short option -A. This long option previously had no short option, so this patch adds -A to be compatible with FreeBSD. * NEWS: Mention the new short option. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document the short option. * src/du.c (usage): Likewise. (APPARENT_SIZE_OPTION): Remove definition. (EXCLUDE_OPTION): Define to CHAR_MAX + 1. (long_options): Use the -A short option for --apparent-size. (main): Likewise. * tests/du/apparent.sh: Test that '-b', '-A -B 1', and '--apparent-size --block-size 1' function the same.

tests: du/bigtime: try harder to find a suitable filesystem

2025-10-16T17:28:52Z

* tests/du/bigtime.sh: At least on Linux, the ext4 filesystem doesn't support such large timestamp, while tmpfs does. Try a bit harder to look for a filesystem with large timestamp support.

tests: du: avoid false failure in racy test

2025-09-21T23:09:03Z

* tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing.sh: Expand the work to avoid a false failure where du completes before the directory is moved. Also expand the timeout to our more standard 10s to avoid the "directory mover" being killed before du processes the directory. This doesn't perceptibly impact the run time of the test. Reported by Bruno Haible on a CentOS 7 system.

maint: use consistent references to standard files in messages

2025-08-06T01:46:04Z

* cfg.mk (sc_standard_outputs): Add a grep command for source files. * src/du.c (main): Use standard input instead of stdin, standard output instead of stdout, and standard error instead of stderr in messages. * src/nohup.c (main): Likewise. * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. * src/split.c (main): Likewise. * src/stdbuf.c (main): Likewise. * src/wc.c (main): Likewise. * tests/du/files0-from.pl (@Tests): Adjust test case to new messages. * tests/sort/sort-files0-from.pl: Likewise. * tests/wc/wc-files0-from.pl: Likewise.
