tests: dd: ensure posix_fadvise errors are handled

2025-03-10T12:46:14Z

* tests/dd/nocache_fail.sh: Add a test case for the recent fix.

tail: honor --pid with fifos

2025-01-08T12:11:43Z

* src/tail.c (tail_file): Open files with O_NONBLOCK if we might need async processing. (pipe_bytes): Ignore EAGAIN read() errors. (pipe_lines): Likewise. * tests/tail/pid-pipe.sh: Add a new test. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Reported by Berhard Voelker.

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2025-01-01T09:33:08Z

Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year. Run "make update-copyright" and then... * gnulib: Update included in this commit as copyright years are the only change from the previous gnulib commit. * tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year. * bootstrap: Likewise. * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

tests: avoid false failure with --disable-selinux

2024-11-12T11:20:47Z

* tests/ls/selinux-segfault.sh: Move recent addition to ... * tests/ls/selinux.sh: ... this new test that uses require_selinux_ to skip appropriately when we've built without selinux support. Also add a non root test that checks we output '.' along with the mode for files, to indicate a security context is present. * tests/local.mk (Reference the new test).

tests: ls: don't always skip a capability test

2024-10-03T11:41:37Z

* tests/ls/no-cap.sh: Move to being a root only test, since commit v9.5-132-g2a6bed933 we now need to call setcap to make the test effective. Otherwise we would have always just skipped the test.

factor: port to platforms

2024-09-28T00:42:58Z

* src/factor.c (mod2): Work even if cntd <= cnta. The old version of the code assumed that shifts by N had unspecified behavior unless 0 <= N < wordsize. Although this assumption is portable to all known practical platforms, the C standard says these shifts have undefined behavior and some pedantic platforms check this. * tests/factor/create-test.sh: * tests/local.mk (factor_tests): New test t37.

printf: add indexed argument support

2024-09-13T16:29:02Z

* src/printf.c (print_formatted): Add support for %i$ indexed args. * tests/printf/printf-indexed.sh: Add a new file of test cases. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test file. * doc/coreutils.texi (printf invocation): Mention how mixed processing of indexed and sequential references are supported, unlike the printf(2) library function. * NEWS: Mention the new (POSIX:2024) feature. Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/73068

mv: new option --exchange

2024-03-20T21:40:29Z

* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): New member 'exchange'. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Support the new member. * src/mv.c (EXCHANGE_OPTION): New constant. (long_options): Add --exchange. (usage): Document --exchange. (main): Support --exchange. * tests/mv/mv-exchange.sh: New test case. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it.

chmod: add support for -h, -H,-L,-P, --dereference options

2024-03-19T23:43:53Z

There have been various requests to add -h to avoid following symlinks for security reasons. This wasn't provided previously as chmod(1) already ignored symlinks unless specified on the command line. Note chmod defaults to -H mode rather than the chown default of -P, as usually chown can work directly on symlinks and so defaults to not traversing those specified on the command line. Note FreeBSD chmod does default to -P mode, but we retain the -H mode default also for compatibility with existing chmod behavior. Adding -HLP will allow chmod to disable traversing CLI symlinks to dirs. Adding -h will allow to disable following CLI symlinks to files/dirs, also operating on all symlinks on systems that support that. Adding --dereference will be significant with -H (the default). I.e. symlinks to dirs not recursed, but symlinks are dereferenced. Adding these options will also be consistent with chown(1), chgrp(1), and chmod(1) on other systems. Note since chmod(1) currently ignores symlinks by default, and -h is primarily a mechanism to avoid following symlinks, rather than for operating on the symlink itself, we make -h try to chmod a symlink, but ignore ENOTSUP. In that way we're consistent with chown(1) where it also ignores ENOTSUP for symlinks, and we don't fail when trying to be extra secure with command line params. * doc/coreutils.texi (chmod invocation): Reference the -H,-L,-P descriptions, and adjust the corresponding macros to say the default is -H or -P as appropriate. Add --dereference and -h,--no-dereference descriptions. * man/chmod.x: Adjust discussion of symlink handling. * src/chmod.c (main): Accept new options and set fts flags appropriately. (process_file): Process / dereference symlinks as necessary. * src/system.h (emit_symlink_recurse_options): A new function refactored from chown.c and chmod.c usage(). * tests/chmod/symlinks.sh: New test for the new options. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.

mv: revert add --swap (-x) option

2024-03-05T21:34:00Z

Since this functionality is recently available in the exch(1) utility from util-linux, it was thought best not to complicate mv with it. This reverts commit 6cd2d5e5335b5c286ff39e154e9dd38ba6923775
