* NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks

like it will be approved. Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c. * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this. Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file. * src/sort.c: Implement this. Include argmatch.h. (usage): Document the change. (CHECK_OPTION): New constant. (long_options): --check now takes an optional argument, and is now treated differently from 'c'. (check_args, check_types): New constant arrays. (check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C. (main): Parse the new options. * tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6): New tests for -C.

Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields,

so that commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity; their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be that long. * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <= ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing in this case. * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise. * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise. * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test. * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test. * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test.
