[coreutils.git] / old / fileutils / ChangeLog

2001-04-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0.44.

        * configure, aclocal.m4, etc.: Regenerate using autoconf-2.49e.

        * doc/fileutils.texi (touch invocation): Discuss ctime.
        Based on suggestions and contributions from Aharon Robbins
        and Dan Jacobson.

        * src/ls.c (main): When given two or more arguments but the only one
        that exists is a directory, don't treat it as if it were the only
        argument.  Before, `mkdir d; ls no-dir d 2>/dev/null' would act like
        `ls d' and produce no output.  Now, it prints `d:'.
        Report and patch from Stéphane Chazelas.
        * tests/ls-2/tests: New tests, for the above fix.

2001-04-08  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * depcomp: New version, from automake.

2000-10-31  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

        * ls.c: Don't inspect MB_LEN_MAX. Paul Eggert says it's
        not always defined correctly.

2001-04-03  John David Anglin  <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>

        * tests/chgrp/basic: Ensure that initial group id's are properly set
        for `d' and `d/f3'.

2001-04-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/mv/setup: Skip nonexistent directories so we don't get
        diagnostics from df about e.g., `/usr/tmp not found'.

2001-03-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * configure.in: Don't require autoconf version here -- it's done in m4/.

2001-03-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0.43.

        * configure, aclocal.m4, etc.: Regenerate using autoconf-2.49d.

        * Makefile.maint (check-copyright): New target and rule.
        (alpha): Depend on it.

        * missing: Handle shell built-ins (only `:' and `cd' for now) to work
        around brain damage in Ultrix's /bin/sh.

2001-03-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0.42.

        * tests/Fetish.pm: If the $DJDIR envvar is defined, set SHELL
        to $DJDIR/bin/bash.exe.  Patch from Richard Dawe, based on a
        suggestion from Eli Zaretskii.

2001-03-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * doc/fileutils.texi: Warn that touch DATE FILE will be withdrawn.

2001-03-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/install/basic-1: Add the standard $VERBOSE-handling hook.
        This test currently fails for mips-dec-ultrix4.4.

        * tests/install/create-leading: Use ../envvar-check rather than
        open-coding the same tests.

        * tests/envvar-check: Set/use $as_unset, for those shells
        (like Ultrix4's /bin/sh) that don't accept `unset'.

        * missing (--run): Use `eval' to run `"$@"'.  Otherwise, Ultrix4.4's
        /bin/sh fails and outputs garbage.

        * src/touch.c (usage): Tweak the obsolescent usage line so that
        help2man recognizes it as such.  Reported by Dan Jacobson.

2001-03-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Makefile.maint (wget-update): Also get `missing'.
        Use for-loops.

        * missing: Update from automake.

2001-03-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/rm/isatty: Disable this test, for now.
        It would block when run in the background.

2001-03-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * config.guess: Update from master repository.

        * Makefile.maint (my_distdir): Define new variable, and use this
        in place of most old uses of $(distdir).

        * src/Makefile.am (Makefile): Don't depend on $(BUILT_SOURCES).
        Reported by Akim Demaille.

        * tests/help-version: Ensure that /dev/full is a character device
        (using test -c) as well as being writable, before trying to write to it.
        Otherwise, the test could mistakenly append a newline to an existing,
        regular, writable, /dev/full file.
        Suggested by Ulrich Drepper.

2001-03-06  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/dd.c (S_TYPEISSHM): Rename parameter to reflect its type.
        (main): Pass a `struct stat *', not stat.st_mode to S_TYPEISSHM.
        Patch by Alain Magloire.

2001-03-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/dd.c (output_char): Reformat so each statement is on a
        separate line.

2001-02-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/mkdir.c (main): Remove assignment-in-if-expression.
        In fact, remove t_errno altogether.  Reported by Nelson Beebe.

        * tests/ls-2/tests: Add two tests of existing behavior -- both will
        have to be changed (soon after release), once ls is fixed.

2001-02-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/ls.c (FULL_TIME_OPTION): Renamed from FULL_TIME, for
        consistency with the other enum values.

2001-02-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * NEWS, doc/fileutils.texi: ls -H is now obsolescent.
        * src/ls.c (SI_OPTION): New enum value.
        (long_options): Use it instead of 'H' for --si.
        (decode_switches): Warn that -H will change soon.
        (usage): Likewise.

2001-02-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add isatty.
        * tests/rm/isatty: New test, for the bug fixed below.

        * Version 4.0.41.

        * depcomp: New version, from automake.

        `chmod 0 file; rm file' would no longer prompt before removal.
        * src/remove.c (remove_file): Revert last change.
        Reported by Vin Shelton.

2001-02-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0.40.

        * src/chown.c (main): `quote' the offending argument.

2001-02-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Stop trying to support hosts that have nonstandard declarations for
        mbrtowc and/or mbstate_t.  It's not worth the portability hassle.

        * m4/mbrtowc.m4: New file, defining jm_FUNC_MBRTOWC.
        * m4/mbswidth.m4 (jm_PREREQ_MBSWIDTH):
        Use jm_FUNC_MBRTOWC, not AC_CHECK_FUNCS(mbrtowc).
        * m4/prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_QUOTEARG): Likewise.
        * lib/mbswidth.c, lib/quotearg.c, src/ls.c (mbrtowc, mbsinit):
        Remove workaround macros for hosts that have mbrtowc but not
        mbstate_t, as we now insist on proper declarations for both
        before using mbrtowc.
        Reported by Matt Schalit.

2001-02-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * config.sub: Update from master repository.

        Show how to use "date" so that the output is acceptable to getdate.
        Mention Z as an abbreviation for UTC.

2001-02-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Makefile.maint (emit-rsync-commands): Define.
        (alpha): Use it here.

        * README: Remove note about now-ancient Sequents.

2001-02-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/ln.c (main): Change type of index variable to `unsigned int'
        to avoid a warning.

        * config.guess: Update from master repository.

        * Makefile.maint (a_host): Use fencepost.
        (real_dir): Use the same name for both.
        (alpha): Print commands for both hosts.

        * src/mv.c (long_options): Use `strip-trailing-slashes',
        per the documetation, not `strip-trailing-slash'.
        * src/cp.c (long_opts): Likewise.
        Reported by Oskar Liljeblad.

        * doc/fileutils.texi (mv invocation): Add a warning about how a trailing
        slash makes a difference.  Prompted by a report from Oskar Liljeblad
        via Michael Stone (Debian bug#83991).

2001-01-31  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * config.sub: Update from master repository.
        * config.guess: Likewise.

2001-01-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * configure, aclocal.m4, etc.: Regenerate using autoconf-2.49c.

        * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Add a FIXME comment.

        * TODO: Add a few items.

        * src/ls.c (enum) [FULL_TIME]: Define.
        (long_options): Use it.
        (decode_switches): Make --full-time imply -l.
        Prompted by a report from Karl Eichwalder.

2001-01-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/remove.c (remove_file): Correct an expression to avoid making
        an unnecessary call to euidaccess for each file.

2001-01-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0.37.

2001-01-20  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * configure.in: Remove jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES.
        Now it's invoked by jm_MACROS.

        * src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Use PACKAGE, not GNU_PACKAGE.
        * src/sync.c (main): Likewise.
        * src/shred.c (PACKAGE): Likewise.
        * src/dd.c (main): Likewise.

2001-01-14  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0.36.

        * src/shred.c (UINT_MAX_32_BITS): Define.
        Use UINT_MAX_32_BITS in the cpp conditions that determine
        the `word32' typedef.  Using a literal `0xffffffff' failed with
        HPUX10.20's /bin/cc.

        * config.sub: Update from master repository.
        * config.guess: Likewise.

2001-01-02  Volker Borchert  <bt@teknon.de>

        Work around a broken rename system call, e.g. on SunOS 4.1.1_U1,
        that fails when the source path has a trailing slash.

        in the build directory, and update the source directory only when
        the merged catalog differs from the original.  This fixes the known
        `make distcheck' failure due to `make update-po' being called
        on up-to-date but read-only files.

2001-01-13  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): When moving a symlink onto itself,
        don't remove the symlink.  Reported by David Luyer as Debian bug#82089,
        via Michael Stone.
        * tests/mv/into-self-4: New test for the above.
        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add into-self-4.

        * tests/chmod/setgid: If `chmod g+s d' fails, then try to chgrp

2001-01-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * depcomp: New version, from automake.

2001-01-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment.
        Set *copy_into_self in the new code that detects that.
        Make diagnostic more consistent: s/won't/will not/.
        [move_mode, copy_into_self]: Give a diagnstic here, now that
        we have the top_level_* globals.  Remove the corresponding diagnostic
        from mv.c.
        Add a FIXME comment.
        * src/mv.c (do_move): Remove diagnostic, now that copy.c issues it.
        Set `fail' to nonzero in the primary `if (copy_into_self)' block
        rather than in its own tiny one below.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't allow cp (or mv, when working
        across a partition boundary) to overwrite a non-directory with a
        directory.  Reported by Michael J. Croghan.
        * tests/cp/dir-vs-file: New test for the above.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-vs-file.

2001-01-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        (copy_internal): Use them.
        (copy): Set them.
        * src/cp-hash.c [struct entry] (node): Describe how it's used,
        now that we've overloaded it, in order to detect and diagnose
        the copying-directory-into-self problem.
        (new_file): Remove global.
        (htab): Declare global to be static.
        (remember_created): Insert file name instead of dummy pointer, so
        that copy.c can use the just-created directory name to detect
        the copying-directory-into-self problem.
        * tests/cp/into-self: New test for the above.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add into-self.

2001-01-07  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/cp.c (usage): Split a string that was longer than 2048 bytes.

        * doc/perm.texi: s/can not/cannot/

2001-01-07  Karl Eichwalder  <ke@suse.de>

        * src/chown.c (usage): Split long message string.

2001-01-07  Karl Eichwalder  <ke@suse.de>

        * src/ls.c (usage): Untabify.

        * src/chgrp.c (parse_group): Normalize spelling.

2001-01-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * NEWS: Document the planned --full-time change.
        * doc/fileutils.texi: Likewise.
        * NEWS: Document that time stamps depend on LC_TIME, not LC_MESSAGES.

2001-01-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Use the more precise algorithm of GNU "make" to decide whether
        a file is in the future, by looking at high-resolution time
        stamps if available.

        * src/ls.c:
        (TIMESPEC_NS): New macro.
        (current_time): Initialize to the minimum value.
        (current_time_ns): New var.
        (main): Do not bother to initialize current_time;
        it's no longer needed.
        (get_current_time): New function.
        (print_long_format): Use it when a file appears to be in the future.
        Get the nanoseconds of the file's time stamp, if available,
        and use that to decide whether the file appears to be in the future.

        * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): New macros.

2001-01-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/ls.c (long_time_expected_width, print_long_format): Fix
        bug: the initial byte passed to strftime wasn't initialized to
        a nonzero value after the buffer was reallocated.

2001-01-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Make ls -l compatible with POSIX, which requires that the
        behavior of time formats must depend only on LC_TIME, not on
        LC_MESSAGES.

        * po/Makefile.in.in (install-data-yes): If the package is
        fileutils, install LC_TIME as an alias for LC_MESSAGES.
        * src/sys2.h (dcgettext): New macro.
        * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Use dcgettext with LC_TIME,
        not plain gettext, to get the translations of time formats.

2001-01-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/ls.c (long_time_expected_width): New function.
        (print_long_format): Use it, so that we don't assume a
        particular width for time stamps in an internationalized
        environment.

2001-01-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * doc/fileutils.texi, NEWS:
        ls -l now reports the year for files even slightly in the future, as
        POSIX requires.  This helps warn users about clock skew problems.

        * src/ls.c (print_long_format):
        Report the year for files even slightly in the future.
        Avoid overflow problems near Y2038 on 32-bit hosts.
        To calculate "six months", take half the average Gregorian
        year, not 180 days.

2001-01-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add setgid.
        * tests/chmod/setgid: Test for chmod's existing behavior.
        Based on a report from Paul Eggert.

2000-12-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Clean up the terminology a tad: some directories were called "sticky"
        when they were really setgid.
        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): sticky-check -> setgid-check
        * tests/chmod/c-option, tests/cp/cp-parents, tests/mkdir/parents,
        tests/mkdir/perm: Likewise.
        * tests/setgid-check: File renamed from tests/sticky-check.
        All uses of "sticky" changed to "setgid".

2000-12-31  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add deref-slink.
        * tests/cp/deref-slink: New file.  Test for the bug fixed by my
        2000-12-28 change to copy.c.

2000-12-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/ls.c: Improve performance by invoking gettext twice at the start,
        instead of once for each file.
        (long_time_format): New var.
        (decode_switches): Initialize it, if format == long_format.
        (print_long_format): Use it.

2000-12-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Don't dump core if strftime
        returns the empty string.

2000-12-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/ls.c (gobble_file): If not using long format, don't
        invoke acl; it's not needed.

2000-12-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Avoid an unnecessary `stat' when using --dereference.
        * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Use stat only if lstat reported that
        the file was a symbolic link.

2000-12-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * doc/perm.texi: append-only directories -> restricted deletion flag,
        which is the term that POSIX d5 uses for this notion.

2000-12-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * tests/group-names: Try /usr/xpg4/bin/id (Solaris 7) if plain
        'id' doesn't work.

2000-12-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/cp/cp-parents: Run sticky-check from just-created directory.

2000-12-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Fix two typos from my 2000-09-03 change:
        s/tmp_dst_sb/tmp_src_sb/.

2000-12-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * tests/sticky-check: Turn off the working directory's sticky
        bit, so that we don't have to worry about it later.

        * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Use a single auto var for
        tmp_dst_sb, instead of two static vars.  Likewise for
        tmp_src_sb.

2000-12-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0.35.

        * Regenerate build/config framework to use automake-1.4b and
        the latest CVS version autoconf.

        * tests/mkdir/perm: Disable the test if the working directory has
        the sticky bit set.
        * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise.
        Reported by Nelson Beebe.

2000-12-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Clean-up to avoid warnings from Irix's c89.

        * src/remove.c (hash_compare_active_dir_ents): Return explicit `true'
        or `false', rather than relying on implicit int-to-enum cast.
        * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Remove declaration and set of unused
        variables: src_sb_no_link, dst_sb_no_link.
        * src/ls.c (extract_dirs_from_files): Remove unused variable.
        Reported by Nelson Beebe.

        * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Move decl of local, val, into the scope

2000-12-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        For both ln and install, when using `--backup=simple --suffix=S',
        the suffix `S' wasn't used.

        * src/ln.c (main): Actually use the local variable,
        `backup_suffix_string'.
        * src/install.c (main): Likewise.
        Nelson Beebe reported the unused variables.
        * tests/ln/misc: Add a test for this (for all of cp, mv, ln, install).

        * man/help2man: Update to version 1.24.

2000-12-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0.34.

        * src/shred.c (isaac_seed_machdep) [_ARCH_PPC]: Disable the code
        that would use the PPC mfspr `asm' code.  Suggestion from Michael Stone.

        (change_file_owner): Record (and later, use) is_symlink and is_directory
        from the lstat stats, in order to control whether we operate on symlinks
        and whether (with -R) we traverse symlinks to directories.
        When dereferencing, use open/fchown (rather than chown) on symlinks.
        * src/chown.c (main): Reflect renaming: s/dereference/change_symlinks/.
        * src/chgrp.c (main): Likewise.

        * tests/mv/mv-special-1: Don't make the success of the test depend

2000-12-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Set have_acl member unconditionally
        to avoid uninitialized memory reference via FILE_HAS_ACL.

        * Makefile.maint (alpha): Use rsync rather than scp, so the destination
        file is created only after the successful completion of the copy.

2000-12-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add follow-slink.
        * tests/ls/follow-slink: New file.

2000-12-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Do not fall back on lstat if stat
        fails; POSIX.2 does not allow this.  Invoke acl only on

        the desired effect without it.

        * src/dd.c: Undo most of the changes since 2000-11-24, since we've
        documented a standard way to do it.
        (skip_bytes, seek_bytes): Remove.
        (usage): Remove B suffix.
        (scanargs, skip, dd_copy, main): Remove support for B suffix.

2000-11-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/mkdir.c (main): Remove any trailing slash unconditionally.
        Reported by Volker Borchert.

2000-11-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/dd.c (skip): New arg COUNT_BYTES.  Read with BLOCKSIZE
        bytes, but consider RECORDS to be a byte count if COUNT_BYTES
        is nonzero.

2000-11-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * doc/fileutils.texi: Document seek=nB and skip=nB.

        * src/dd.c (skip_bytes, seek_bytes): Now booleans, not counts.
        (seek_records): Renamed from seek_record, for consistency with
        skip_records and max_records.  All uses changed.

        (usage, scanargs): Remove bseek=n and bskip=n; instead, use seek=nB
        and skip=nB.
        (enum Unit, Unit): Remove.
        (skip, dd_copy, main): Undo most recent change.
        (dd_copy, main): Pass blocksize of 1 as appropriate when
        skip_bytes or seek_bytes is nonzero.

2000-11-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/dd.c: Declare a pointer parameters to be `const' as appropriate.

        * src/dd.c (main): Use ftruncate only on regular files.

        Reported by andras@kolumbus.fi at http://bugs.debian.org/77174.

2000-11-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/df.c (show_point): Before accepting an entry as a match, make
        sure that the mount directory exists and has the required device number.
        Before, e.g., `df /floppy' would mistakenly report on the root
        partition if /floppy were not listed in /etc/mtab but / was.
        Patch from Eirik Fuller (http://bugs.debian.org/76923).

        * src/chmod.c (mode_changed): New function.
        (change_file_mode): Use it to determine accurately when -c should
        make chmod announce there's been a change.
        Based on a patch from Michael Stone.
        Reported by Kai Henningsen as Debian bug #77349.

        * tests/chmod/c-option: New test for the above fix.

2000-11-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/ls.c (BLOCK_SIZE_OPTION, COLOR_OPTION, FORMAT_OPTION,
        INDICATOR_STYLE_OPTION, QUOTING_STYLE_OPTION,
        SHOW_CONTROL_CHARS_OPTION, SORT_OPTION, TIME_OPTION): New enum
        values, to ensure that option values can't collide with chars.
        (long_options, decode_switches): Use them.

2000-11-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/sys2.h (GETOPT_HELP_CHAR, GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Now enum
        constants rather than macros.  Use values that cannot conflict
        with C characters or with -1, CHAR_MAX + 1, etc.

2000-11-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/du.c (count_entry): Don't omit the size of a directory entry
        merely because we couldn't `chdir' into it.  That would give subtly
        different results in some cases.  Reported by Mattias Wadenstein
        via Michael Stone.

        * src/ls.c: Revert change of 2000-11-11.  It inadvertently change
        the output format of `ls -l --full-time'.

        * src/mkdir.c (main): When failing to create a directory, give only
        one diagnostic, not two.  Reported by Volker Borchert.

        * tests/mkdir/t-slash: New test for this.
        * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add t-slash.

        * tests/mv/mv-special-1: Create and `cd' into temporary directory
        before anything else.  Reported by Volker Borchert.

        * configure, config.h.in, Makefile.in, etc.: Regenerate using the
        very latest version (in CVS) of autoconf.

2000-11-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Makefile.am (.NOTPARALLEL): Remove target.
        * GNUmakefile (.NOTPARALLEL): ... put it here instead, since this
        file is common to these packages: fileutils, sh-utils, textutils.

        * Makefile.am (.NOTPARALLEL): New target.  Prevent unwanted parallelism.
        Suggestion from Ulrich Drepper.
        * po/Makefile.in.in (Makefile): Likewise.

        * Makefile.maint (sha1): Define.
        (announcement): Include SHA1 digest of .tar.gz file.

2000-11-14  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/mkdir/perm: Add an `echo' so that the input to the sed command
        is NL-terminated.  Otherwise, Solaris' /bin/sed generates no output.
        Reported by Vin Shelton.

2000-11-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/sys2.h (ST_TIME_CMP_NS): Fix typo: ST_MTIM_NSEC should
        be tested with #ifdef, not with #if.

2000-11-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Remove obsolete comment.
        From Paul Eggert.

        * doc/texinfo.tex: Update from master repository.

2000-11-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@sic.twinsun.com>

        * src/ls.c (<langinfo.h>): Include if HAVE_LANGINFO_H.
        (DATE_FMT_LANGINFO): New macro, taken from sh-utils/src/date.c.
        (print_long_format): Use it to determine "date" format.
        Do not wrap "%b %e %Y" and "%b %e %H:%M" in _(), as it results in
        incorrect behavior when LC_ALL is unset, LC_TIME is "C", and
        LC_MESSAGES or LANG is set to something disagreeing with the POSIX
        locale.

2000-11-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0.32.

        * Makefile.maint (GZIP_ENV): Define to --no-name, so the timestamp
        is not included in the .tar.gz file.

        * tests/mkdir/perm (tests): Use `empty' (instead of just blanks) to
        indicate no `-m' option.  Using just blanks wasn't portable to
        Solaris2.5.1's /bin/sh.

        * tests/mkdir/perm: Don't put a newline in IFS;  that's not portable to
        NetBSD's /bin/sh.  Instead, filter newlines and leading/trailing blanks
        out of `tests' before the `set -'.

        * Makefile.maint (announcement): Limit depth of ChangeLog `find' to 2.

        * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Wrap the `--full-time' date format
        string in _(...), so it too may be internationalized.
        Suggestion from Jungshik Shin.

2000-11-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/touch.c (main): Interpret a lone numeric argument of 8 or 10
        digits as a file name, rather than as a date/time in the obsolescent
        `MMDDhhmm[YY]' format.  Reported by Wenjun Zheng.
        * tests/touch/obsolescent: New test for this.
        * tests/touch/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add obsolescent.

2000-11-06  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/cp/cp-parents: Move mkdir tests into ../mkdir.

        * doc/fileutils.texi: Use Free Documentation Licence.
        Change GNU to @sc{gnu} in many places.

        * doc/texinfo.tex: Update from master repository.
        * config.sub: Likewise.
        * config.guess: Likewise.
        * man/help2man: Update from latest version: 1.23.

        * src/mkdir.c: Do not set the permissions of the final directory
        component if it was not just created.
        Based on a patch from Volker Borchert.

        * tests/rwx-to-mode: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add rwx-to-mode.
        * tests/mkdir/parents: New test for the above mkdir.c fix.
        * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parents.
        (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define srcdir=$(srcdir).

2000-11-02  Won-kyu Park  <wkpark@chem.skku.ac.kr>

        * src/df.c (print_header): Mark strings for translation.

2000-11-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0.31.

        * configure, config.h.in, Makefile.in, etc.: Regenerate using the
        very latest version (in CVS) of autoconf.

        * src/mkdir.c (main): Use make_dir instead of using mkdir directly.
        Diagnose as failure when mkdir tries to create (without the
        --parent (-p) option) a directory that already exists.
        * tests/cp/cp-parents: Add a test for the above fix.

        * tests/mv/mv-special-1: Clean up this test.

2000-11-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/chmod.c (main): Better diagnostics.

2000-10-31  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/lang-default: Add all the internationalization-related
        variable names autoconf uses.  Set and export them in a loop.

        `mkdir -p' would create parent directories with permissions
        that did not account for the umask. [introduced with the
        2000-09-30 change that became part of fileutils-4.0.28]
        * src/mkdir.c: Include dirname.h.
        Compute the parent directory `mode' unconditionally, effectively
        as `$(umask -S),u+wx'.
        Use make_path to create only the parent directories, thus using
        the same code, both with and without -p, to create the final
        component in each file name.  Reported by Bob Proulx.

        Add tests for the above fix.
        * tests/cp/cp-parents: Add some permission tests.
        * tests/mkdir/perm: Fix the test so it actually does something.
        Run each test also with mkdir's `-p' option and check permissions
        on the parent directories.

2000-10-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * doc/getdate.texi: Use @sc where appropriate.  Document the
        ranges of supported times more precisely.  Correct menu
        spacing.  Document old Latin 12m/12pm tradition.  Remove list
        of alphabetic time zone names, as it wasn't correct and people
        shouldn't be relying on it anyway.  Relative items also
        account for non-DST adjustments.  Fix some misspellings.

2000-10-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * configure, config.h.in, Makefile.in, etc.: Regenerate using the
        very latest version (in CVS) of autoconf.

        * Version 4.0.29.

        * src/cp.c (do_copy): When constructing dst_path for use with the
        --parents option, first remove any trailing slashes from the command
        line argument.  Otherwise, tests/cp/cp-parent would fail on NetBSD.

        * tests/cp/cp-parents: Add a test.

        * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Define.
        [enum filetype]: Remove the #ifdef, and use DT_INIT on the
        initializers instead.  `unknown' was undefined for some systems.
        Reported by John David Anglin.

        * tests/lang-default (LC_COLLATE): Set it to the empty string and
        export it.  Otherwise, tests/cp/cp-mv-backup would fail e.g., when
        LC_COLLATE was set to en.  Reported by Vin Shelton.

2000-10-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/ls.c (main): In call to gobble_file with `"."', use `directory'
        as the type, not `unknown'.
        [enum filetype] (arg_directory): Rather than `100', use
        a number that should never conflict with another DT_* value.
        From Ulrich Drepper.

        * Version 4.0.28.

        Make `ls' a lot more efficient on systems (e.g., linux-2.4.*)
        that store file type information in directory entries.

        * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (unknown):
        Add members (as yet unused):
        (HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE): Define.
        (format_needs_type): New global.
        (main): Set it.
        (print_dir): Set `type' from directory entry, if possible.
        (gobble_file): Add a parameter, TYPE.
        Stat the file only if its type is unknown and we need the type.
        Patch from Ulrich Drepper.

        Shred can now determine the size of a block devices (e.g. /dev/fd0)
        by writing until a write operation fails.

        * src/shred.c: Include assert.h.
        (fillrand): Add a parameter, size_max.
        Adjust caller.
        Add an assertion.
        (dopass): Break out of the `for (;;)' loop if size < offset.
        That can happen now that dopass is called with SIZE == -1.
        (do_wipefd): Accept a length of zero only for a regular file.
        If lseek fails or returns 0 for a non-regular file, let dopass
        determine the length.
        Inspired by a patch from Alan Iwi.

        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add lang-default.

        * tests/rm/hash: Factor out the expensive-test-checking code, ...
        * tests/expensive: ... into this new file.
        * tests/cp/perm: Disable this test by default; it's expensive.
        Mark this as an expensive test.
        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add expensive.

        * doc/fileutils.texi (shred invocation): Give two examples.

2000-10-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * doc/getdate.texi (Authors of getdate): Add Paul Eggert.

2000-10-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .prev-version.

2000-10-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/cp.c (make_path_private): Add a FIXME comment.

        * tests/lang-default: New file.  Set LANG, LC_ALL, and LANGUAGE to ''
        (rather than to `C') and export them into the environment.
        Suggestion from Bruno Haible.

        * tests/cp/backup-is-src: Source lang-default rather than open-coding
        the setting/exporting of LANG, LC_ALL, and LANGUAGE.
        * tests/cp/cp-mv-backup: Likewise.
        * tests/cp/same-file: Likewise.
        * tests/cp/slink-2-slink: Likewise.
        * tests/cp/symlink-slash: Likewise.
        * tests/ln/sf-1: Likewise.
        * tests/ls/symlink-slash: Likewise.
        * tests/ls/time-1: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/backup-is-src: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/diag: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/force: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/hard-link-1: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/i-2: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/into-self: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/into-self-2: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/into-self-3: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/mv-special-1: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/part-symlink: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/partition-perm: Likewise.
        * tests/rm/r-1: Likewise.
        * tests/rm/r-2: Likewise.

2000-10-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/cp/cp-parents: New test.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-parents;

2000-10-19  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * doc/texinfo.tex: Update from master repository.
        * config.sub: Likewise.
        * config.guess: Likewise.
        * depcomp: Likewise.

2000-10-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/mv/part-symlink: Make sure the programs use C-locale formats
        and translations.  Bruno Haible reported that this test would fail
        when using other locales, because ls printed a translation of `total'.

2000-10-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Wrap date format strings in _(...)
        so they may be internationalized.  Suggestion from Christian Rose.

2000-10-13  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Remove FIXME-maybe comment.

2000-09-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/du/two-args: Update to use newer template.

        * src/install.c: Remove big, option-describing comment block.
        (main): Rename local `symbolic_mode' to `specified_mode'.

        * src/mkdir.c (main): Don't set the umask to 0 and hand-apply
        the previously-set umask unconditionally.  Do that only when a
        MODE has been specified.  Otherwise, call mkdir with the full
        creation mask (0777 or 0666) and let the kernel apply the umask.
        The difference shows up only on file systems with ACL support
        when the containing directory has a default ACL.
        Patch by Andreas Gruenbacher.
        (main): Rename local `symbolic_mode' to `specified_mode'.
        * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise (but `call mknod', not mkdir).
        Also, when MODE is specified, call chmod to ensure that the
        permission bits are set as specified even when the containing
        directory has a default ACL.
        Patch by Andreas Gruenbacher.
        * src/mkfifo.c (main): Likewise (but `call mkfifo', not mkdir).
        Patch by Andreas Gruenbacher.

        * tests/mkdir/perm: New test.
        * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add perm.

2000-08-17  Andreas Gruenbacher  <ag@bestbits.at>

        * src/chmod.c (change_file_mode): Perform the chmod even if the
        file mode permission bits are the same as those that should be set.
        Omitting the chmod call would be alright with minimal 1003.1e DS17
        ACLs, but eventually there may be other permissions in addition to
        rwx.  E.g., add and delete for directories, and something analogous
        to NT's take ownership permission.

2000-09-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/cp/same-file: Don't use `diff -u'.  It's not portable.
        Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
        * tests/cp/same-file: Run `diff -c' only if cmp finds a difference.
        * tests/mv/part-symlink: Likewise.  And clean up.

        `shred --exact file1 file2' wouldn't touch `file1'
        * src/shred.c (long_opts): --exact doesn't take an argument.
        Reported by Alan Iwi.
        * tests/shred/exact: New test for this.
        * tests/shred/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add exact.

        * Makefile.maint (PREV_VERSION): Get the value from a file, rather
        than trying to derive it from the current version number.
        This is much more robust.
        (alpha): Record just-released version number in `.prev-version',
        and commit (post-tag).

        * Version 4.0.27.

2000-09-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * doc/fileutils.texi: Update to more closely match changes in 4.0z.
        * src/cp.c (usage): Match revised documentation better.

2000-09-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/cp.c (main): Tweak a relatively new diagnostic.

2000-09-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/ls/time-1: Output more information when a test fails.

2000-09-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Once again make it so install always
        unlinks an existing destination before trying to open it for writing.
        Otherwise, installing onto a running shared library would make the
        running program malfunction.
        Reported by Dan Pascu via Michael Stone.

        * src/mv.c (do_move): Moving a directory specified with a trailing
        slash from one partition to another, and giving it a different
        name at the destination would cause mv to get a failed assertion.
        Reported by Michael Stone.
        (strip_trailing_slashes_2): Move function definition to precede
        new first use.
        * tests/mv/part-rename: New test for the above fix.
        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add part-rename.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't try to unlink directories when
        using --remove-dest with -R.
        * tests/cp/dir-rm-dest: New test for the above fix.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-rm-dest.

2000-09-19  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * doc/fileutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe how --force works.
        Update description of -P (soon to change meaning to conform w/POSIX).
        Describe --remove-destination.

        * src/cp.c (main): When used with --force, each of the --link and
        --symbolic-link options now implies --remove-destination.
        Reported by Miles Bader via Mike Stone.
        * tests/cp/link: New file.  Test for the above fix.
        * tests/cp/same-file: Adjust for this change in behavior.

2000-09-15  Volker Borchert  <bt@teknon.de>

        * tests/Makefile.am (check-root, root-hint): New targets.
        (check-recursive): Depend on root-hint.
        * Makefile.am (check-root): New target.

2000-09-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * doc/perm.texi (Changing Special Permissions): Remove this statement:
        ``a' in the USERS part of a symbolic mode does not cause the special
        permissions to be affected'...  It doesn't reflect what the code does
        and isn't required by POSIX.  Reported by aldomel@ix.netcom.com via
        Mike Stone.

2000-09-15  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * config.sub: Update from master repository.

2000-09-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/cp/cp-mv-backup (LC_ALL): Set to `C' and export to ensure
        that `ls' sorts the same way for everyone.  Reported by Vin Shelton.

        * Makefile.maint (b_host): Use freefriends.org, not tug.org.

2000-09-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use a stricter regexp for the
        previous version.

        * Version 4.0z.

        * tests/cp/special-bits: New file.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add special-bits.
        (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Propagate $MAKE into environment, for special-bits.

        * src/copy.c (SAME_OWNER, SAME_GROUP, SAME_OWNER_AND_GROUP): Define.
        (copy_internal): Avoid calling chown if we know it's not necessary.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Call chmod also if we've made the
        preceding chown call and we're supposed to preserve some special
        permission bit(s) that would have been reset by chown.
        Reported by Greg Louis.

2000-09-08  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/mkdir.c (S_IRWXUGO): Remove definition.
        * src/sys2.h (S_IRWXUGO): Define here, instead.

2000-09-07  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * doc/texinfo.tex: Update from master repository.
        * config.sub: Likewise.
        * config.guess: Likewise.

2000-09-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/mv/part-symlink: Redirect stdout to stderr before trying to
        remove the temp directory.  Otherwise, the `rm -rf' would get an
        error because the output file wouldn't be closed and the directory
        wouldn't be `empty'.
        * tests/cp/same-file: Likewise.

        * tests/cp/same-file: Remove the `cp -dl sl1 sl2' case,
        since it's no longer portable (hard link to a symlink).
        Likewise for the `cp -bdl symlink foo' case.

        * config.guess: Update from master repository.

2000-09-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/cp.c: Move declaractions of lstat, stat, and rpl_lstat
        as well as the definition of lstat from here...
        * src/copy.h: ...to here.
        * src/copy.c: Remove declaration of lstat, now that it's in copy.h.

        * tests/mv/force: mv's --force (-f) option is no longer needed for
        this test, now that all it does is cancel --interactive (-i).

        * tests/cp/same-file: Add new tests using cp's --rem option.
        Reflect the fact that cp's -f option no longer causes cp to remove the
        destination file before trying to open it.
        Reflect the fact that `cp -bdl' now makes a backup when copying a
        symlink onto the file it points to (FIXME: look into this, and why
        cp -bl does *not* do so).

        * src/ln.c (do_link): Tweak diagnostics.

2000-09-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Initialize new members.

        * src/cp.c (enum): Add UNLINK_DEST_BEFORE_OPENING.
        [long_options]: Add an entry for --remove-destination.
        (usage): Describe --remove-destination.
        (do_copy): Use unlink_dest_after_failed_open member, not `force.'
        (cp_option_init): Initialize new members.
        (main): Handle UNLINK_DEST_BEFORE_OPENING (aka --remove-destination).

        * src/mv.c: Remove obsolete comment block.
        (cp_option_init): Initialize new members.
        (usage): Reflect the fact that --force (-f) relates only to whether
        mv prompts.
        (main): Remove uses of old `force' option member.

        * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Reflect

        `force' no longer means unlink-dest-before-opening
        * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [force]: Remove member.
        [unlink_dest_before_opening]: Add member.  `cp -f' and `mv -f' used to
        do this.  Now, you must use `cp --remove-destination' to get this
        behavior.  Now, `cp -f' and `mv -f' work as required by POSIX.
        [unlink_dest_after_failed_open]: Add member.
        Paul Eggert reported that `cp -f' removes an existing destination
        file unconditionally, and that is contrary to POSIX.

        * src/copy.c (same_file_ok): New function, extracted from copy_internal,
        and rewritten.
        (copy_internal): Unlink destination file when unlink_dest_before_opening
        option is set, and when the source is neither a regular file nor a
        directory.

        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add part-symlink.

        * src/ls.c: Use strcoll (not strcmp) when comparing file names.
        Suggestion from Ulrich Drepper.

2000-08-27  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/copy.c (copy_reg): New parameters: X and NEW_DST.
        Remove the SPARSE_MODE parameter.  Update caller.
        Perform POSIX-mandated (for cp) open-with-O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC when copying
        a regular source file and the destination file exists;  upon failure,
        unlink that existing file, then open again, but with O_WRONLY|O_CREAT.
        (copy_internal): `force' in not related to interactive; remove
        the conjunct.
        Remove the entire `else if (x->force)' block;  justifying
        removal of the non-directory part is easy:  POSIX requires we try
        to open an existing regular file, so we can't unlink it beforehand.
        The part that changes the mode on a directory to allow overwriting
        isn't necessary.

        * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rename two goto labels.
        (copy_internal): Set `new_dst' when the move_mode rename fails,
        since we then unlink the destination file.

        * src/cp.c (usage): --force is independent of --interactive.

2000-08-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Put back the kluge.  It's necessary after all.
        * src/dd.c (buggy_lseek_support): New function.
        (skip): Use it.
        Frank Adler reported that although _llseek returns 0, lseek
        erroneously returns an offset suggesting the operation succeeded
        even though it fails.

        * install-sh: Double quote as needed, to protect against arguments
        containing spaces or shell metacharacters.  Reported by Bruno Haible.

2000-08-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/dd/not-rewound: New test, for the SEEK_CUR vs. SEEK_SET part
        of the last change.  Based on Paul's example.
        * tests/dd/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add not-rewound.

2000-08-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/dd.c (skip):
        Assume lseek failed if it returned zero, since a zero return is
        impossible and some buggy drivers return zero.

        Use SEEK_CUR rather than SEEK_SET; this fixes a bug when the
        file descriptor is not currently rewound.

2000-08-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/dd.c: Back out my last change.  Paul's (above) is better.

2000-08-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Don't even try to use lseek on character devices.
        * src/dd.c (buggy_lseek_support): New function.
        (skip): Use it.
        Reported by Martin Gallant via Michael Stone.

2000-08-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/cp/same-file: Clean up traps.  Create files in a subdir.

        * install-sh (oIFS): Remove unmatched double quote, left over from
        my 2000-08-12 change.  From J. David Anglin.

        * Makefile.maint (wget-update): Get the latest version of depcomp.

        * depcomp: Update from automake.

2000-08-20  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0y.

        Add support for cp's new POSIX-mandated -H and -L options.
        * src/copy.h (enum Dereference_symlink): Define.
        (struct cp_options) [dereference]: Change type to Dereference_symlink.
        * src/copy.c: Declare lstat.
        (copy_dir): Set `xstat' member to lstat so that with `-H' we don't
        follow symlinks found via recursive traversal.
        Update uses of `dereference' to compare against new enum member names.
        * src/cp.c (long_opts): Add --dereference, -L.
        (usage): Describe -L and -H.
        (cp_option_init): Initialize to DEREF_UNDEFINED, not `1'.
        (main): Add `H' and `-L' to getopt spec string.
        [case 'a']: Initialize `dereference' to DEREF_NEVER, not 0.
        [case 'd']: Likewise.
        [case 'H']: New case.
        [case 'L']: New case.
        [case 'R']: Don't set dereference to `0' here.
        If it's not yet defined, set x.dereference to DEREF_NEVER
        if -R was specified, else set it to DEREF_ALWAYS.
        Set x.xstat accordingly for -H.
        * doc/fileutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe -H and -L.
        * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Initialize to DEREF_NEVER, not `0'.
        * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Initialize to DEREF_ALWAYS, not `1'.

        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-HL.
        * tests/cp/cp-HL: New test.

        * src/du.c (print_totals): Rename global from opt_combined_arguments.

2000-08-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/copy.c (DO_CHOWN): Do not make a special case for non-root.
        POSIX.2 requires that cp -p and mv attempt to set the uid of the
        destination file, even if you're not root.  This affects behavior
        only on hosts that let you give files away via chmod.
        * NEWS: Describe the above change.

2000-08-15  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/du.c (count_entry): Remember the current directory also for `.'
        and `..'.  Reported by Stephen Smoogen, based on a patch from H.J. Lu.
        * tests/du/two-args: Add tests for this.

2000-08-14  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Move declaration of local, `n_read', into
        the scope where it's used.
        (copy_internal): In calling copy_reg, pass not the raw `src_mode',
        but the possibly-umask-relative mode, `get_dest_mode (x, src_mode)'.

2000-08-13  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Rename from new_nondir_mode.
        Honor the umask for `cp', but not for `mv' or `cp -p'.
        (copy_reg): New 4th parameter, dst_mode.  Pass it as 3rd arg. to open.
        (copy_internal): Change type of locals `src_mode' and `src_type' from
        int to mode_t.
        Remove unnecessary local, `fix_mode'.
        Combine two if-stmts into one.
        Pass `src_mode' as 4th arg to copy_reg.
        If we've just created a new regular file, return early, skipping the
        chmod step.  copy_reg now sets permissions of such files upon creation.
        Use get_dest_mode, so there's just one chmod call here.

        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add perm.
        * tests/cp/perm: New tests, to help ensure the above didn't
        change anything.

2000-08-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/mv/into-self-2: Remove test for the VERSION_CONTROL and/or
        SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX envvars.  Source ../envvar-check instead.

        * install-sh: Remove trailing blanks.
        Output diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
        Remove many useless curly braces and double quotes.

2000-08-11  J. David Anglin  <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>

        * install-sh: Improve error handling.
        Do the job even when the target file is `busy' on systems
        that don't allow such files to be unlinked.

2000-08-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * README: Remove note about how installation can fail and the
        work-around, now that it's all automated.

2000-08-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/cp.c (usage, main): For cp -P messages, mention the new
        behavior as well as the old.

2000-08-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Standardize on "memory exhausted" instead of "Memory exhausted"

2000-08-07  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/cp.c (enum) [PARENTS_OPTION]: New member.

        `dd if=/dev/fd0 seek=100000000000'.
        Convert "`%s'" in format strings to "%s", and wrap each

        * src/cp.c (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): New macro.
        (do_copy): Use it here (so we always strip trailing slashes before
        calling base_name).  Reported by Branden Robinson via Michael Stone.

        Test for the above fix.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-slash.
        * tests/cp/dir-slash: New file.

2000-07-15  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Begin converting "`%s'" in format strings to "%s", and wrap each
        corresponding argument in a `quote (...)' call -- if there's only one.
        If there are two or more, then use `quote_n (0, ...),
        quote_n (1, ...), ...'.

        Here's the justification, from Paul Eggert (thanks, Paul):

          [Consider] the following, taken from fileutils/copy.c:

             error (0, errno, _("cannot create directory `%s'"), dst_path);

          Now, suppose dst_path is "/'\nrm: removing all files under `/"
          (expressed in C string syntax).  This will cause the user to see
          the following delightfully ambiguous display:

            cp: cannot create directory `/'
            rm: removing all files under `/'

          It would be better to rewrite the above line to be something
          like this:

            error (0, errno, _("cannot create directory %s"), quote (dst_path));

          using the definition of "quote" [in lib/quote.c].  That way,
          the user will see the following unambiguous display instead:

            cp: cannot create directory `/\'\nrm: removing all files under `/'

          One might object that any user who asks to copy a file with
          a weird name like that deserves to get confused.  But this
          is not a good objection, as the source of the string may not
          be under the user's control, or even visible to the user.

        * src/copy.c: Adapt format strings and args as above.  Include quote.h.
        I have deliberately not changed the output of --verbose.
        FIXME: maybe I should.
        * src/cp.c: Likewise.
        * src/remove.c: Likewise.
        * src/install.c: Likewise.  and improve a couple diagnostics.

2000-07-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * NEWS: Describe --quoting-style=clocale.

        * doc/fileutils.texi: New clocale quoting style.

2000-07-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * config.guess: Update from FSF.
        * config.sub: Likewise.

        for use in the dangling-symlink test.

2000-06-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

2000-06-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Now that savedir.c has been cleaned up...

        invoking savedir, and assume that errno is nonzero if savedir fails.
        * src/chmod.c (change_dir_mode): Likewise.
        * src/chown.c (change_dir_owner): Likewise.
        * src/copy.c (copy_dir): Likewise.

        * src/df.c (show_dev): Round disk usage percentage up, not to
        nearest value.  Use integer arithmetic if it's easy.  Fix bug
        when converting twos-complement negative values to floating point.

2000-06-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after a failed
        copy_dir call -- otherwise, the failure to read a single file in a
        source directory would cause the containing destination directory
        not to have the owner and/or permissions set properly.
        Reported by Piotr and Maciej Kwapulinski.
        * tests/cp/fail-perm: Test for it.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-perm.

        * tests/install/basic-1: Don't fail (just exit 77) if strip doesn't
        work.  Suggestion from Ulrich Drepper.
        Add canonical trap/mkdir/cd, plus exit portability cruft.

2000-06-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Give a slightly better diagnostic upon
        open failure.

        Patch from Michael Stone.  Reported by Herbert Xu.
        * tests/mv/diag: New test for this.
        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add diag.

        with other fileutils.
        * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
        Suggestion from François Pinard.

2000-06-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

2000-05-29  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Allow `cp -d -u' to copy one symlink onto another that's identical.
        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Change the || to ^ in the big sameness
        test, so copying one symlink onto another, identical one doesn't fail
        here.
        If the symlink call fails, don't report the failure if the destination
        already exists and is a symlink pointing to the proper name.
        Reported by Andrew Burgess.
        * tests/cp/slink-2-slink: New test.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add slink-2-slink.

2000-05-19  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Save device number as well as inode number for each directory,
        and use both in comparisons.  This makes the directory cycle
        test more robust, and closes the small remaining hole whereby
        an attacker could subvert a running `rm -r' command.

        * src/remove.c (struct active_dir_ent) [st_dev]: New member.
        [st_ino]: Rename from `inum'.

        are easier to translate.  Reported by Michel Robitaille.
        (main): Drop support for the case in which S_ISLNK wasn't defined.
        It was broken in any case.

        * tests/ls/time-1: Set LC_ALL to `C' to avoid failure when the
        current locale is not C (POSIX).  From Matthew Clarke.

2000-05-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Unlike for mv, -i doesn't cancel the effect of -f
        and -f doesn't cancel the effect of -i.
        * src/cp.c (main) ['f']: Don't reset `x.interactive'.
        ['i']: Don't reset `x.force'.
        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Fix force and interactive tests.
        Patch from Michael Stone, reported by Jeff Sheinberg.

2000-05-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/shred.c: Include sys/types.h in shred.c before including
        sys/stat.h or system.h.  From John David Anglin.

2000-05-08  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/shred/remove: Don't use touch in root test.  Instead, append to
        the test file, since now touch operates even on files which deny owner
        write access.

2000-05-06  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/Makefile.am (shred_LDADD): Add @LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME@.

        * src/rmdir.c (EEXIST): Remove now-unused definition.
        (ENOTEMPTY): Likewise.
        (errno_rmdir_non_empty): Rewrite to use RMDIR_ERRNO_NOT_EMPTY,
        which is determined by the autoconf test in m4/rmdir-errno.m4.

2000-05-03  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

        Don't fail when running `make check' with non-`C' locale.
        * tests/cp/symlink-slash: During ls, set LANGUAGE (for GNU gettext)
        and LC_ALL (for systems which look at LC_MESSAGES).
        * tests/rm/r-2: Define LC_ALL instead of LANG, in case the user has
        LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL set.  Define it and LANGUAGE before the first use
        of sort.

2000-05-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        With a recent glibc, _GNU_SOURCE, and -O, strndup may be a macro.
        * src/sys2.h (!HAVE_DECL_STRNDUP): Declare strndup.
        * src/dircolors.c: Remove declaration of strndup.

2000-05-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/install.c (change_attributes): Don't even attempt the chmod
        if the chown fails.  Before, when a non-root user ran `install -m 4755
        -o nobody FILE DEST', DEST would set-uid not to `nobody' but rather to
        the ID of the installing user.  Reported by Marc Olzheim.

2000-04-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/touch.c (O_NOCTTY): Define if not defined already.
        (touch): Add O_NOCTTY to the flags passed to open.

2000-04-29  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0r.

        * src/cp.c [LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK] (lstat): Define to rpl_lstat.

2000-04-27  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Clean up.
        * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set PATH, not MKDIR.
        * tests/mkdir/p-1: Use mkdir, not $MKDIR.
        * tests/mkdir/p-2: Likewise.

        * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add tests/du/Makefile.
        * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add du.

2000-04-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/du.c (pop_dir): Remove through_symlink arg; use null cwd
        for that purpose instead.
        (count_entry): Also save the directory if we're saving more
        than one level.
        Fix file descriptor and memory leak when chdir fails.

2000-04-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/mkdir.c: Rename global: s/path_mode/create_parents/.
        (main): No longer perform explicit chmod when creating
        parent directories, since make_path now does the chmod.

2000-04-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/chown.c: New option: --from=CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP.
        (enum) [FROM_OPTION]: New member.
        (long_options): New getopt spec.
        (change_file_owner): Add old_user, old_group parameters.  Use them.
        (change_dir_owner): Likewise.
        (usage): Describe.
        (main): New case.
        From Andries Brouwer.
        * doc/fileutils.texi (invoking chown): Document it.

2000-04-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/cp.c: New option: --strip-trailing-slashes.
        (enum) [STRIP_TRAILING_SLASHES_OPTION]: New member.
        (remove_trailing_slashes): New global.
        (long_opts): New getopt spec.
        (usage): Describe.
        (do_copy): Strip trailing slashes on SOURCE names only if the new
        option has been specified.
        (main): New case.

        * tests/cp/symlink-slash: New test for the change in behavior.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add symlink-slash.

        * doc/fileutils.texi (Trailing slashes): Factor out discussion on
        trailing slashes into its own node.
        Cross reference from cp and mv.

2000-04-13  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Move some code into m4/.
        * configure.in (_GNU_SOURCE): Don't define here.
        (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Don't use here.
        (AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Don't use here.
        * acconfig.h: Remove now-unused file.

2000-04-08  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * doc/fileutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention that there is an
        application for cp's --sparse=never option.  From Martin Hippe.
        (cp invocation): Describe how --backup and --force
        can be useful together.

2000-03-10  Alan Iwi <iwi@atm.ox.ac.uk>

        * src/ls.c: Add support for "ln=target" in the LS_COLORS variable,
        to colorize links as for the file/directory pointed to.
        * src/dircolors.hin: Add a few words of documentation of the above.

2000-04-08  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/cp.c (usage): Document that while the --backup option takes an
        optional argument, the -b option accepts none.
        (main): Use `backup type' in call to xget_version, not the
        now-deprecated `--version-control'.
        * src/install.c: Likewise.
        * src/ln.c: Likewise.
        * src/mv.c: Likewise.

2000-03-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Merge from textutils.
        * src/system.h (O_BINARY, O_TEXT): Define if necessary.
        (SET_BINARY, SET_BINARY2): Define.
        (DEV_BSIZE): Define to BBSIZE if appropriate.

2000-03-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/mv/mv-special-1: Make the message more like that in the
        similar touch and shred tests.
        * tests/touch/fifo: Accommodate SunOS-NFS-mounting-OpenBSD mkfifo
        bug and `exit 77' if the fifo cannot be created.
        Report and suggestion from Volker Borchert.

2000-03-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * po/Makefile.in.in (dist distdir): Don't use `ln' (which was just a
        space optimization anyway) to populate $(distdir).  Otherwise, the dist
        rules that change permissions would end up affecting the master sources.

2000-03-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore shortcuts based on path
        prefixes that are loop file system mount points, since they
        yield undesirable output.

2000-02-29  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Remove `e' from getopt_long's list of
        option characters.  Reported by John Summerfield.

2000-02-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/install/basic-1: Use ginstall, not install.

2000-02-27  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0q.

        * src/sys2.h: Guard declaration of strtoull also with
        `&& HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG'.

        * src/sys2.h: Use `#if !HAVE_DECL...' instead of `#ifndef HAVE_DECL...'
        now that autoconf always defines the HAVE_DECL_ symbols.

        * src/install.c (install_file_to_path): Always use install_file_in_file.
        Based on a patch from Adam Klein via Michael Stone.

        * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add create-leading.
        * tests/install/create-leading: New file.

        * tests/install/basic-1: Clean up.
        * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PATH. Remove cruft.

2000-02-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Tranform the generated src/Makefile.in file so it falls back on
        using /bin/rm when necessary.  The old rule didn't always work.
        This is necessary only on certain losing systems, and because this
        package builds an `rm' executable and some people put `.' too
        early in their PATH.
        * Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): Remove .deps and `FIXME' comment.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Add .kludge-stamp.
        (.kludge-stamp): New rule.
        * src/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE): Remove definition.
        (Makefile.in): Remove dependency on automake-wrap script.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Remove automake-wrap.
        * src/automake-wrap: Remove file.

        * tests/rm/r-2: Don't make the success of the test depend on the
        order in which directory entries are processed.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

2000-02-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * po/POTFILES.in: Add lib/userspec.c.

        * doc/fileutils.texi (chown invocation): Deprecate use of `.'.

        * src/chown.c (usage): Mention only `:', and not `.' as the separator,
        since POSIX allows only the former.
        Prompted by a report from Manas Garg.

2000-02-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/df.c (main): Count the stat'able arguments.
        Print the header line only if there is at least one valid argument.
        Reported by Andy Longton <alongton@metamark.com>

2000-02-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        Make du work when invoked from an unreadable directory.

        * src/du.c (pop_dir): New function.
        (count_entry): Factor out common code (pop_dir), and call the new
        function instead.
        Move declaration of global, `stat_buf' into this function.
        (du_files): Don't stat `.' or call save_cwd, since count_entry
        never returns with a changed working directory.

2000-02-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/mv/mv-special-1: Use $null and $dir in place of literals
        in `here' script.
        Exit 77 if we can't set up the framework (Volker Borchert reported
        that this test would fail because mknod failed when run on SunOS4.1.4
        using NFS-mounted disk from an OpenBSD system).

2000-02-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't allow mv to move a directory onto
        a non-directory.  Reported by Brian Kimball via Michael Stone.

2000-02-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-file.
        (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove vestiges of old tests.

        (O_NONBLOCK): Define to O_NDELAY if not defined.
        (touch): Open with O_NONBLOCK, so one can touch a fifo without hanging.
        Reported by Eric G. Miller via Michael Stone.

        * man/*.x: Change ." to .\".
        Reported by Andreas Schwab and Brendan O'Dea.

2000-01-31  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * man/Makefile.maint (ginstall_filter): Define.
        ($(man_MANS)): Use it here so that the install.1 man page refers
        to `install', not `ginstall'.  Reported by Andreas Schwab.

2000-01-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * Version 4.0p.

        * configure.in: Move library-related tests into m4/lib-check.m4.

        * src/system.h (ST_NBLOCKS): Use st_size only for regular files and
        for directories.  From H. J. Lu.

        * src/dd.c (main): Exit with nonzero status if ftruncate fails.

2000-01-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * src/ln.c (usage): Describe behavior when LINK_NAME is omitted.
        From Michael Stone.

        * src/mv.c (main): Don't expect array index `n_files - 1' to evaluate
        to `-1' for unsigned int n_files == 0.  Doing so lead to a segfault on
        alpha.  From Michael Stone.

2000-01-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * configure.in (AM_FUNC_OBSTACK): Remove. (move to m4/.)
        Remove nearly all function checks (moved to m4/.)

        (AC_HEADER_MAJOR, AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Move into m4/.
        Remove df-related tests.  i.e., move jm_LIST_MOUNTED_FILESYSTEMS,
        jm_FSTYPENAME, and jm_FILE_SYSTEM_USAGE) into m4/.

2000-01-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * configure.in: Move addext.c prerequisites from this file into m4/.
        (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Move these checks into m4/.

2000-01-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/dd.c (interrupt_handler): Likewise.
        (install_handler): Use SA_NOCLDSTOP, not _POSIX_VERSION,
        to decide whether to call sigaction; this fixes an old typo.

2000-01-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * lib/Makefile.am: Sync with sh-utils/lib/Makefile.am.

        * configure.in: Remove AM_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, jm_FUNC_GNU_STRFTIME,

2000-01-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * tests/shred/remove: Make the warning that this shred test may not
        be run as root more prominent.  Suggestion from Volker Borchert.

2000-01-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Quote multibyte characters correctly.

        * lib/quotearg.c (ISGRAPH): Remove.
        (ISPRINT): New macro.
        (<wchar.h>): Include if HAVE_MBRTOWC && HAVE_WCHAR_H.

        (quotearg_buffer_restyled): New function, with most of the old
        quotearg_buffer's contents.
        Major rewrite to support multibyte characters.
        (quotearg_buffer): Now just calls quotearg_buffer_restyled.

        `--backup --verbose' as cp, mv, install.  Before this, the backup
        file name wasn't printed at all.

        This affects cp, install, and mv.
        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): When making backup files in verbose
        mode, print the backup file name on the same line as the rest of the
        information, e.g., `a -> b (backup: b.~13~)' rather than on a separate
        line by itself.  Suggestion from Karl Berry.

2000-01-08  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * lib/error.c (error): Use __strerror_r's return value only if
        HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R.

        (alpha): Create xdelta diffs.

2000-01-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/mv.c: New option: --strip-trailing-slashes.

        1999-11-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/strftime.c (my_strftime): Some old compilers object to
        '\a', so don't bother optimizing for it.

2000-01-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Fix bug: `df PATH' sometimes misbehaves when there is an
        inaccessible mount point unrelated to PATH.
        * configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add realpath, resolvepath.
        * src/df.c (#pragma alloca): Add if _AIX is defined.
        (path-concat.h): Include.
        (show_point): If HAVE_REALPATH or HAVE_RESOLVEPATH is defined,
        find the real absolute path for PATH, and use that to find the
        mount point.

        (show_point): Prefer non-dummy entries in shortcuts, too.
        Disable bogus mount dirs instead of restatting them each time.

        1999-12-17  Kalle Olavi Niemitalo  <tosi@stekt.oulu.fi>

        * src/rmdir.c (remove_parents, main): Don't pass errno to error
        when printing "removing directory" message.  Failure of rmdir is
        handled elsewhere.

1999-12-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * configure.in: Remove clock_gettime tests.
        Now they're in m4/jm-macros.m4.

        * src/ln.c (usage): Correct typos.
        List new --target-directory=... usage.
        Reported by Göran Uddeborg

        * src/mv.c (usage): List new --target-directory=... usage.

1999-12-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * lib/getdate.y (get_date): Fix typo in time_t overflow test.
        From Michael Stone.

1999-12-21  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        * tests/shred/remove: Use $file, not $tmp/file.  Exit 77 if run as
        root.

1999-12-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/df.c (ceil_percent): Remove.
        (show_dev): Avoid overflow problems when calculating percent.
        Do not display negative percents.

1999-12-19  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * Version 4.0l.

        * doc/fileutils.texi: Clarify and combine descriptions of -c and of
        --time=ctime.
        Likewise for -u/--time=atime.

        * src/ls.c [! LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK]: Use lstat wrapper.
        [Notice the new configure-time test in m4/lstat-slash.m4. ]
        (main): Back out change from 1999-02-19 that made ls remove
        trailing slashes from command line arguments to accommodate early
        versions of Linux.  Now, `ls symlink-to-dir/' acts like
        `ls symlink-to-dir/.' thus following the symbolic link, as POSIX says
        it should.  Suggestion from Bruno Haible and Andreas Schwab.

        * lib/xstat.in (slash_aware_lstat): New function.
        (rpl_@xstat@): Use it.
        * lib/Makefile.am (lstat.c): Adapt rule to handle new parts of xstat.in.
        (lstat.c): Likewise.

        Make sure ls does the right thing with symlinks and trailing slashes.
        * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add symlink-slash.
        * tests/ls/symlink-slash: New test, for above-fixed bug.

1999-12-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/shred.c (wipename): When repeatedly renaming a file, making the
        name shorter and shorter, skip to the next shorter length length if a
        rename fails (e.g. due to permission denied).  Otherwise, this loop
        would iterate for so long that shred would appear to be stuck in an
        infinite loop for any but the shortest file names.
        Reported by Joe Orton.

        * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add tests/shred/Makefile.
        * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add shred.
        * tests/shred: New directory
        * tests/shred/remove: New file.  Tests for the above-fixed bug.

1999-12-13  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * lib/makepath.c (make_path): Consistently use `error' to output
        the verbose, `created directory ...' messages.
        Reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer.

1999-12-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        Move 120+ lines of stat.h-related macros from system.h (not shared)
        to sys2.h, which is shared between fileutils, sh-utils, textutils.
        * src/system.h: Move them from here...
        * src/sys2.h: ... to here.

        * src/system.h (S_IRUSR, S_IRGRP, S_IWGRP, S_IROTH, S_IWOTH): Define
        if not defined.  This was necessary on a NeXT Turbostation running
        Mach 3.3.  Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.

        * src/ls.c (decode_switches): If -c or -u is specified and not -l
        (or any other option that implies -l), and no sort-type was specified,
        then sort by the ctime (-c) or atime (-u).  Part of this change reverts
        the 1998-01-10 delta.
        (usage): Update to reflect this change.
        Reported by Paul Slootman via Michael Stone.

1999-12-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/df.c (BLOCK_SIZE_OPTION, SYNC_OPTION, NO_SYNC_OPTION): Define
        these and use them instead of `CHAR_MAX + n'.
        * src/du.c (BLOCK_SIZE_OPTION, EXCLUDE_OPTION, MAX_DEPTH_OPTION):
        Likewise.
        * src/touch.c (TIME_OPTION): Likewise.
        * src/rmdir.c (IGNORE_FAIL_ON_NON_EMPTY_OPTION): Likewise.

        * tests/ls/time-1: Test more of the framework (touch's -a and -m
        options) before running the actual ls test.

1999-12-07  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * tests/cp/cp-mv-backup: Use 1>&2 rather than `1<&-'.
        Suggestion from Volker Borchert.

1999-12-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * Makefile.maint: Remove ftp.enst.fr.

1999-12-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * Version 4.0k.

        * tests/mv/into-self-2: Adapt to reflect this change in behavior.
        Make sure the VERSION_CONTROL envvar is not set.
        Run diff if comparison fails.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): In move mode, if the rename attempt
        fails, then unlink any existing destination file.  This makes a
        cross-device `mv' more consistent with the intra-device behavior.
        This change is required by POSIX to make a cross-device move act with
        semantics similar to those of the rename syscall.  For example now
        `mv' can move a file onto a symlink to itself when that symlink
        is on a separate partition.  With fileutils-4.0j, it would fail with
        a diagnostic saying they were the same file.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

        * tests/mv/to-symlink: New file.  Adds test for the above.
        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add to-symlink.

        * tests/cp/cp-mv-backup (trap): Be careful to close $actual before
        removing the containing directory.  Otherwise, on some systems rmdir
        fails to remove the containing directory.

        * tests/ls/time-1: List --full-time dates upon failure.

1999-12-02  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        * src/ls.c (check_symlink_color): New variable.
        (main): Set it if we need to check for dangling symlinks when
        displaying colors.
        (gobble_file): Check check_symlink_color instead of print_with_color.

1999-11-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/ls.c (usage): Shorten help for --show-control-chars.

1999-11-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        Give the right diagnostic when failing to create a file in an
        unwritable directory.
        * src/touch.c (touch): Record errno upon failed errno and use that
        saved value if a subsequent fstat, stat or utime call fails.
        Reported by Wichert Akkerman via Michael Stone.

1999-11-27  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        Clean up test scripts.
        * tests/mv/setup: Don't set/use DF or MKDIR.  Use df and mkdir instead.
        * tests/mv/mv-special-1: Likewise for these: LS MV MKDIR MKNOD RM TOUCH
        * tests/mv/backup-is-src: Likewise for RM and MV.
        * tests/mv/hard-link-1: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/into-self: Likewise.
        * tests/mv/into-self-3: Likewise.

        Add test for 1999-05-23 change to src/copy.c (copy_internal).
        * tests/mv/partition-perm: New file.
        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add partition-perm.

        * Version 4.0j.

1999-11-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/df.c (df_readable): Now returns char const *, not char *.
        New arg NEGATIVE.
        (ceil_percent): Now returns double, not int.
        Be more careful about adding 1 to a wild value.
        (show_dev): Don't filter out wild sizes from the underlying operating
        system; instead, show them to the user as faithfully as possible.

1999-11-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * doc/getdate.texi (Calendar date item): Correction regarding 0..68/
        69-99 split for 1900 vs 2000.  From Peter Moulder.

1999-11-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * lib/Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): Add lstat.c and stat.c.

1999-11-20  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/rmdir.c (errno_rmdir_non_empty): New function to encapsulate
        errno comparison.
        (remove_parents): Use it.
        (main): Use it.

        * tests/cp/cp-mv-backup: Run `diff -c' if the test fails.

        * tests/ls/time-1: Use `ls' and `touch', not $LS and $TOUCH.
        * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Specify PATH, etc.

        * src/chgrp.c: Declare lstat;  needed on e.g. SunOS4.
        Reported by Tom Tromey.

1999-11-19  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * lib/strstr.c (strstr): Include config.h.
        Add a `;' between shloop label and `}'.
        From Akim Demaille.

1999-11-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/mkdir.c (S_IRWXUGO): Define if necessary.
        (main): Use chmod to set the permissions if bits other than those
        of S_IRWXUGO were requested.  Reported by Sami Farin.

1999-11-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * touch.c (touch): Simplify code a tad, using fd == -1 instead
        of separate valid_fd variable.

1999-11-13  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/touch.c (touch): Don't fail just because we couldn't open
        an existing file.  This makes it so that touching a read-only
        file now works.  Also clean up and simplify.
        Based on a patch from Chip Salzenberg.
        * tests/touch/no-rights: New test for this.
        * tests/touch/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-rights.

1999-11-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/remove.c (print_nth_dir): Write one fewer byte so we don't print
        a trailing slash.
        (rm): Fix bugs in (and test, this time) the very rarely used code
        to warn about directory cycles.
        Reported by michael@roka.net.

1999-11-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Treat src and dest as the `same' in
        `mv src symlink-to-src' when src and dest are on different partitions.
        Otherwise, that `mv' command would silently remove `src'.
        Reported by Michael Stone.
        * tests/mv/into-self-2: Add a test for this fix.

        * lib/makepath.c (make_path): Fix long-latent bug: s/&&/||/ (others
        just like that also dated back to 1992 were fixed in 1998-01-02).
        Richard Braakman reported that using `install -d -g foo 1/2`
        only sets the group on the intermediate directory, not the final
        component.  From Michael Stone.

1999-11-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@set.twinsun.com>

        * human.c (default_block_size): New function.
        (humblock): Use it if no block size is specified.
        (human_block_size): If the specified block size is zero, report an
        error if report_errors is nonzero; otherwise use the default.

1999-11-07  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/dircolors.hin: Add several more TERM types.
        Add .bz2 suffix.
        Add .png for real this time.
        Change the image types colors to be visible in a black-on-white xterm.
        From Michael Stone.

        * src/chgrp.c (xstat): New global.
        (main): Define it.
        (change_file_group): Use it.  Before this change, when running chgrp
        on a symlink without --dereference (-h) and when the requested group
        is the same as the group for the *symlink*, chgrp would do nothing.
        Now it changes the group of the file referenced through the symlink.
        Reported by Martin Mitchell.

        * src/chmod.c: Use REFERENCE_FILE_OPTION instead of bare `CHAR_MAX + 1'.
        * src/chown.c: Define and use REFERENCE_FILE_OPTION and
        DEREFERENCE_OPTION in place of bare `CHAR_MAX + N'.
        * src/chgrp.c: Likewise.

        * tests/ln/misc: Add hard-link-to-symlink test.
        Move framework_failure test to the end.
        Fix a typo: s/||/&&/.

        * src/ln.c (do_link): Warn that making a hard link to a symbolic link
        is not portable.

        * tests/ln/misc: Use --b=simple, not the now-deprecated `-V simple'.
        * tests/ln/backup-1: Likewise.

        * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add tests/rmdir/Makefile.
        * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add rmdir.
        * tests/rmdir: New directory
        * tests/rmdir/ignore: New file.

        * src/rmdir.c (remove_parents): Use the correct test (just as in
        main) in handling --ignore-fail-on-non-empty.  From Michael Stone.
        (usage): Improve description of --parents.  Based on suggestion from
        Torsten Landschoff.

1999-11-06  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        Allow hard links to symlinks on systems that support it.
        * src/ln.c (STAT_LIKE_LINK): Define.
        (do_link): Use STAT_LIKE_LINK, rather than bare `stat', and perform
        the extra lstat only on systems where LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS.

        * src/ls.c (long_options): Correct typo (s/'F'/'p'/) so that `-p' is
        accepted as the short form of --file-type, per the documentation.
        From James Sneeringer.

        * src/ln.c (do_link): Fix typo (in which the function name `symlink'
        was tested instead of the variable `symbolic_link') that could make
        ln perform an unneeded `stat' call.

1999-11-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/system.h: Use HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_BLOCKS, not deprecated
        HAVE_ST_BLOCKS.
        * src/copy.c: Likewise.
        * lib/fileblocks.c: Likewise.

        * configure.in: Move some type/header/member tests into
        m4/jm-macros.m4 (jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES) so they are shared by all of
        fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils.

1999-11-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * man/help2man: Import version 1.018.
        * man/Makefile.maint ($(man_MANS)): Remove use of --name=... option.
        * man/*.x: Include one-line summary in [NAME] section.
        * man/Makefile.summ: Remove the one-line summaries.
        Suggestion for clean-up from Akim Demaille.

        * configure.in (ALL_LINGUAS): Add Galician (gl).

1999-11-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/cp.c (usage): Warn about mixing use of `-r' with FIFOs and
        other special files like /dev/zero.

        * lib/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Set to $(BUILT_SOURCES).

1999-10-31  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Remove $(DEPDIR) to work around
        automake bug.

        * doc/fileutils.texi: Document new --backup[=METHOD] option for
        cp, mv, ln, and install.

        * src/ln.c: Convert --backup to take an optional argument.
        Deprecate --version-control (-V) in comments.
        (usage): Remove mention of --version-control.
        (main): Make -V warn then fall through into --backup case.
        [--backup case]: Handle optional arg.
        * src/install.c: Likewise.

1999-10-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/cp.c (do_copy): Constify `dest', and cast-away the new
        const in assignment to new_dest.

1999-10-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * tests/touch/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dangling-symlink.
        * tests/touch/dangling-symlink: New file.

1999-10-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/touch.c (full_write): Remove unused decl.
        (open_maybe_create): Remove.
        (touch): Don't record whether the file was created; this isn't
        possible to do reliably and portably without race conditions.
        If the file was created and if amtime_now is nonzero, this
        change means we'll have to do another utime system call, but
        that's no more harmful than the previous version of this code.
        Reported by Gabor Z. Papp.

1999-10-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * configure.in (ALL_LINGUAS): Add Japanese (pa).

1999-10-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * tests/mv/backup-is-src: Remove use of mv's now-deprecated
        -V option.  Use --b=simple instead of -b -V simple.

        * src/mv.c: Convert --backup to take an optional argument.
        Deprecate --version-control (-V) in comments.
        (usage): Remove mention of --version-control.
        (main): Make -V warn then fall through into --backup case.
        [--backup case]: Handle optional arg.

        Accept new option: --target-directory=DIR
        * src/cp.c (TARGET_DIRECTORY_OPTION): Define.
        (SPARSE_OPTION): Define.
        (usage): Describe it.
        (do_copy): Change meanings/names of first two parameters: use `n_files'
        in place of `argc - optind', and `file' instead of `argv + optind'.
        Add parameter, target_directory.
        (main): Pass new arg, target_directory.

1999-10-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * tests/cp/backup-is-src: Remove use of cp's now-deprecated -V option.
        Use --b=simple instead of -b -V simple.
        * tests/cp/backup-1: Replace use of cp's now-deprecated
        --version-control option with use of --backup=simple.

        * src/cp.c: Convert --backup to take an optional argument.
        Deprecate --version-control (-V) in comments.
        (usage): Remove mention of --version-control.
        (main): Make -V warn then fall through into --backup case.
        [--backup case]: Handle optional arg.

        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-mv-backup.
        * tests/cp/cp-mv-backup: New file.

1999-10-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

1999-10-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        Accept new option: --target-directory=DIR
        * src/ln.c (TARGET_DIRECTORY_OPTION): Define.
        (usage): Describe it.
        (main): Implement it.
        Make code clearer:  use new variable `n_files' in place of
        `argc - optind'.  Use `file' instead of `argv + optind'.

1999-10-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * depcomp: New file, for automake's new dependency support.
        * missing: New version, from automake's user-dep-gen-branch.

        * src/dd.c: Include getpagesize.h.
        (dd_copy): Page-align the input buffer.

1999-07-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        the above decl.

1999-06-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't apply the umask in move_mode.
        Otherwise, `mv' would not preserve the permissions when copying
        between partitions.  Reported by David Godfrey

        * Version 4.0i.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Make it so `cp/mv -f FILE FILE' does not
        remove FILE.  Suggestion from Chris Yeo.

        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add force.

        * lib/human.c (human_readable): Allow from_block_size to be zero.

1999-05-14  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * tests/Makefile.am (envvar-check): Renamed from check-local.
        (check): Depend on envvar-check so the envvar check is performed
        before all other tests.  Reported by Volker Borchert.
        * tests/.env-warn: Use `%%' place-holder that Makefile.am rule expects,
        so CDPATH is mentioned in the message.  Reported by Volker Borchert.

        * src/df.c (main): When asking for info on an explicit file name,
        just warn rather than failing if the table of mounted filesystems
        cannot be read.  Based on a patch from Mark Kettenis.

        * lib/version-etc.c (version_etc): Put version info and author names
        on the first two lines respectively rather than putting the three
        lines of copyright info between them.

        * src/touch.c (open_maybe_create): Handle Solaris' failure mode when
        FILE is a directory.  Reported by Vin Shelton.

        upper-case program names.  Add a definition of PATH.
        (TESTS): Add dir-1.

        * src/mkdir.c (main): Use better wording in diagnostic: `cannot
        create directory' rather than `cannot make directory'.  The former
        also matches the one in makepath.c.

        * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use TOUPPER and TOLOWER,
        not toupper and tolower.

1999-05-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * lib/makepath.c (make_dir): When reporting a mkdir failure and the
        target cannot be `stat'ed, use the errno from the failed mkdir call,
        not the one from the stat call.  Before this change, running
        `mkdir -p /no-dir/no-dir' as an unprivileged user would wrongly
        elicit `No such file or directory' instead of `Permission denied'.

        * lib/strtol.c (TYPE_SIGNED, TYPE_MAXIMUM, TYPE_MINIMUM): Define.
        (ULONG_LONG_MAX, LONG_LONG_MAX, LONG_LONG_MIN): Define if not defined.

        * src/ls.c (USE_ACL): Define this only #if
        (HAVE_SYS_ACL_H && HAVE_ACL && defined GETACLCNT).
        Use `USE_ACL' in place of `HAVE_ACL' everywhere else.  From Kaveh Ghazi.

1999-05-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * lib/makepath.c: Include makepath.h libintl.h, not after it.
        Otherwise, we'd get the wrong definition of PARAMS from libintl.h.
        (The method of defining PARAMS in libintl.h doesn't check PROTOTYPES,
        which is necessary on Irix4 since cc doesn't define __STDC__.)
        From Kaveh Ghazi.

1999-04-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * Makefile.maint: Define several tag-related make variables.
        (cvs-dist): Use the make variables instead of shell ones.

        Resort to calling stat for directories, but only when necessary.
        (usage): Mention --no-create.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Move the one-file-system test so that
        it follows the `if (new_dst || !S_ISDIR (dst_sb.st_mode))' block.
        Prior to this change, `cp --one-file-system' would traverse a file-
        system boundary if the destination directory existed.  From Ton Hospel.

1999-04-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/dd.c: Always use STDIN_FILENO for input and STDOUT_FILENO
        for output, to avoid confusion with closed input and output fds.
        (input_fd, output_fd): Remove; all uses changed to STDIN_FILENO
        and STDOUT_FILENO.
        (open_fd): New function.
        (main): Use it, instead of open, to ensure that file descriptors
        don't get confused.

1999-04-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Use STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO instead
        of 0, 1.

        * src/dd.c (skip): Don't fstat the input file; the result is
        no longer used.

1999-04-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * tests/mv/into-self-2: Update to reflect this change by reversing
        the order of arguments so the symlink is the source, not the
        destination (otherwise, the mv command would now succeed).

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make `mv foo symlink-to-foo' fail.
        That is, even though source and destination are `the same,' don't fail
        if the destination is a symlink.  From Peter Samuelson.

        * src/dd.c (main): If you can't open an output file (with

1999-04-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * Version 4.0g.

1999-04-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/shred.c (word32): Don't use `#error'; it runs afoul of
        SunOS 4.1.4 cc.  From Paul Eggert.

        * lib/strtoull.c: Guard strong_alias and weak_alias with #ifdef _LIBC.

1999-04-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Replace our temporary hack implementation of strtoumax with
        something very close to the real code in glibc.

        * lib/xstrtoumax.c: Remove the temporary strtoumax replacement;
        we now have a true replacement in strtoumax.c.
        (__strtol): Always define to strtoumax.
        (<stdlib.h>): No need to include.
        (PARAMS): Remove.
        (my_strtoumax): Move this to strtoumax.c,
        rename it to strtoumax, and simplify.

        * lib/strtoull.c, lib/strtoumax.c: New files.

        * lib/strtol.c: Update to glibc 2.1.1 version.

1999-04-20  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): s/posix-warn/env-warn/.
        (check-local): Also test and warn if CDPATH is set.

1999-04-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * configure.in (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Add; needed for new AC_LFS's
        cross-compilation.
        * config.guess: New file (from autoconf).
        * config.sub: New file (from autoconf).

        * src/shred.c <config.h>: Include first, since it can do
        things like #define const, and this must be done before
        including any system headers.

        * lib/xstrtoumax.c (my_strtoumax): Fix typo in computing
        whether overflow occurred.  Improve overflow-detection to use
        only one conditional branch total, rather than 2N+1
        conditional branches for an N-digit number.

1999-04-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Remove strtoull, strtoumax, and
        strtouq, now that they're checked in m4/xstrtoumax.m4.

1999-04-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * doc/fileutils.texi, src/shred.c (main, longopts):
        Use -u instead of -R for --remove, so that we can preserve
        future compatibility with rm.

1999-04-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/shred.c [!HAVE_CONFIG_H] (ST_BLKSIZE): Define to 65536.
        (do_wipefd): Use ST_BLKSIZE instead of referring to the st_blksize
        member directly.

1999-04-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Fix shred to do the right thing with off_t longer than long.
        Merge large-integer parsing code with similar code in dd.c,
        and put the resulting in lib/xstrtoumax.c so that other programs
        can use it.  Instead of adding a new lib/xstrtoumax.h I thought
        it cleaner to put all the xstroto* declarations into a single
        header, which for now is lib/xstrtol.h for lack of a better place.
        (Mayby lib/xstdlib.h would be better?  :-)

        I thought of several other problems with shredding regular files;
        shredding devices is much more reliable.  So I changed the defaults
        to be more suitable for shredding devices; this should help encourage
        users to do the right thing.

        pfstatus isn't portable to environments with varying width
        fonts, or with internationalized environments where the byte
        count of the message is not the same as its print width.
        Rather than deal with this, I just simplified it to not do
        tricks with carriage-returns and spaces.  (I'm also worried
        that vprintf may not return the right value on some hosts; I
        vaguelly recall this being a problem.)  As a result, -v and -
        no longer conflict.

        When removing a special file, try to truncate it first, but don't
        worry if this reports an error.

        Try to find the size of a non-regular file by seeking to its end.

        Various porting fixes, mostly because of a port to SunOS 4.1.4 cc.

        Some other minor bug fixes.

        * lib/xstrtoul.h: Remove this file.
        * lib/xstrtoumax.c: New file.

        * configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add strtoull, strtoumax, strtouq.

        * lib/xstrtoul.c (STRING_TO_UNSIGNED): Remove.
        (__strtol, __strtol_t, __xstrtol): New macros.

        * lib/xstrtol.c (__strtol, __strtol_t, __xstrtol):
        New macros to specify the
        underlying function, its returned type, and our function.  Default to
        values suitable for xstrtol.

        Include <ctype.h>, since we use its macros.

        (ULONG_MAX, LONG_MAX, ISBLANK): Remove: no longer needed.
        (ISSPACE): New macro.

        (bkm_scale, bkm_scale_by_power, __xstrtol, main): __unsigned long int
        -> __strtol_t.

        (__xstrtol): Depend on whether __strtol_t is an unsigned type, not on
        whether STRING_TO_UNSIGNED is defined.  Skip isspace chars, not
        isblank chars, to match strtol.  When returning
        LONGINT_INVALID_SUFFIX_CHAR, store the value that we computed into
        *val.

        * lib/xstrtol.h (__xstrtol, __strtol, __unsigned): Remove macro decls.
        <inttypes.h>: Include if HAVE_INTTYPES_H.
        (_DECLARE_XSTRTOL): New macro.
        (xstrtol, xstrtoul, xstrtoumax): Declare all three functions, so that
        we need only one include file, not three.
        (_STRTOL_ERROR): Do not undef, as this is no longer needed.
        Reword overflow message so that it's independent of type.

        * lib/Makefile.am (libfu_a_SOURCES): Add xstrtoumax.c.
        (noinst_HEADERS): Remove xstrtoul.h.

        * lib/xmalloc.c (xalloc_fail):
        Pass xalloc_msg_memory_exhausted through gettext.

        * lib/getdate.y:
        <stdlib.h>: Include if HAVE_STDLIB_H, since bison 1.27 invokes "free".
        (LookupWord, yylex): Don't pass negative char to ctype macros.

        * doc/fileutils.texi:
        Explain why shredding devices is more reliable, and why the
        default options are more suitable for devices.

        Remove withdrawn options -b or --no-contents, -c or --freed-contents,
        -C or --all-contents, -k or --no-links, -l or --ordinary-links, -L or
        --all-links.

        Add -R or --remove, -s or --size.

        -v can no longer be doubled.

        `file system' --> `filesystem' uniformly.

        * src/chgrp.c: Include xstrtol.h, not obsolete file xstrtoul.h.

        * src/shred.c: Include xstrtol.h, not obsolete file xstrtoul.h.
        "human.h", "xalloc.h": Include.
        (attribute): Remove; no longer needed.
        (xstrdup): New decl.
        (STDOUT_FILENO): New macro.
        (O_NOCTTY): Make sure it's always defined, even if HAVE_CONFIG_H.

        The following changes have effect only if !HAVE_CONFIG_H.
        <ctype.h>: New include.
        (RETSIGTYPE): Remove bogus semicolon at end.
        (STDOUT_FILENO, uintmax_t, human_readable, LONGEST_HUMAN_READABLE):
        New macros.
        (xstrtoumax): Renamed from xstrtoul, with corresponding type changes.
        Handle suffixes like the real routine does.
        (error): Remove bogus assignment of errno to errnum.
        (xmalloc, xstrdup): New functions.

        (O_NOCTTY): Define even if !HAVE_CONFIG_H.
        (S_ISFIFO, S_ISSOCK): New macros, if not already defined.
        (OUTPUT_BLOCK_SIZE): New macro.
        (struct Options.verbose): Now a boolean, since we no longer have two
        levels of verbosity.
        (long_opts, usage, main): Remove -D or --device option.  Invert -p or
        --preserve option, and rename it to -R or --remove.
        (usage): Describe G suffix.
        (usage): "-" no longer conflicts with -v.
        (UCHAR_MAX): Indent `#error' so that SunOS 4.1.4 cc doesn't reject it.
        (ind): Portability fixes: return word32, not unsigned; multiply by
        sizeof (word32) instead of shifting left by 2.
        (isaac_refill, isaac_mix): Comment out size of array parameter, as
        ansi2knr mishandles this.
        (status_visible, status_pos, pfstatus, flushstatus): Remove, since
        pfstatus isn't portable to users with varying width fonts, or
        internationalized messages, and vfprintf is problematic.  All callers
        of pfstatus changed to use error instead; this removes incompatibility
        of -v with -.  All calls to flushstatus removed.
        (dopass, do_wipefd): Do not translate non-English msgs with gettext.

        (dopass): Cast lseek constant arguments to (off_t) for benefit
        of pre-ANSI compilers; fix one lseek call whose args were interchanged.
        Remove unnecessary casts to (off_t).  Do not check for EIO
        when determining file size; this was just my earlier wild guess.
        Use human_readable to print off_t, instead of casting to unsigned long
        (which doesn't work in Solaris 2.6, where off_t is longer than long).
        Output human-readable sizes, instead of always using "K".
        Check for offset overflow (it happened to me in SunOS 4.1.4).
        (do_wipefd): Do not insist on regular files, but do check for special
        files that cannot possibly be shredded.
        Use xmalloc instead of malloc + check.
        Do not inspect st_size for non-regular files.
        Try to find the size of a non-regular file by seeking to its end.
        Do not assume that a regular file of size-0 has unknown size.
        Check for regular files with negative sizes,
        and for overflow after rounding to next block.
        Always try to truncate, even for special files, but do not report an
        error if truncation fails on a special file.

        (dopass, wipefile): Do not return 1 for special files; the caller
        doesn't care any more.

        (wipefd): Remove unnecessary (and nonportable) check for
        whether the file descriptor is read-only.  Remove
        no-longer-needed check for `-v -'.

        (incname): Return 1 for carry bit, like the documentation says.

        (wipename, wipefile): Accept new argument, specifying the
        quoted file name.  All callers changed.

        (wipename): Use xstrdup instead of strdup+error check.

        (wipefile): Check for ENOTDIR when opening /dev/fd/NNN. Check for
        errors in NNN more carefully. Restore errno after the check.
        Check for errors when closing the file descriptor.
        Use more consistent wording when unable to remove a file.

        (main): Do not remove files by default.
        Use xstrtoumax instead of xstrtoul uniformly, since xstrtoul won't
        exist if !HAVE_CONFIG_H.
        In diagnostics, quote invalid operands to -n and -s options.
        Allow T, P, E, Z, and Y suffixes in -s operand.
        flags.verbose is now a boolean, not a counter.
        Use STDOUT_FILENO instead of 1, for clarity.

        * lib/human.c:
        Include xstrtol.h, not xstrtoul.h, since xstrtol.h now defines all the
        xstrto... functions.

        * src/dd.c: Include xstrtol.h.
        (parse_integer): Migrate most of the work into the new xstrtoumax fn.

        * lib/xstrtoumax.c: New file.

1999-04-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/dd.c (main): Open the output file with *read* access
        only if we might need to read to satisfy a `seek=' request.
        From Matthias Urlichs.

1999-04-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * Makefile.maint (alpha): Add trailing slash for ncftp.

        * Version 4.0f.

        * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add tests/dd/Makefile.
        * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add dd.
        * tests/dd: New directory
        * tests/dd/misc: New file.

        `ls --color' would segfault
        * src/ls.c: Include assert.h.
        (color_indicator[]): Add an entry for the type, `door.'
        (main): Assert that the lengths of the color_indicator and
        indicator_name arrays are appropriately related.
        Reported by John Gotts.

        * src/dd.c (scanargs): Fix bug introduced with last change: now that
        the loop is gone, manually decrement argc and increment argv.
        Reported by Andreas Jaeger and jvogel@linkny.com.

1999-04-07  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * lib/getdate.y (difftm): Protoize.

1999-04-06  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * lib/strftime.c: Update from master source in libc.

1999-04-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * tests/ln/misc: Comment out the test added on 1999-01-31.

        * Makefile.maint (url_dir_list): Define properly.
        (real_dir_list): Likewise.

        * src/shred.c: Don't include string.h.
        [!HAVE_CONFIG_H]: Include string.h here.
        [!HAVE_CONFIG_H]: Hard-code RETSIGTYPE to `int'.
        (sigill_handler): Change return type and type of local `oldhandler' to
        RETSIGTYPE.
        (isaac_seed_machdep): Change and type of local `oldhandler' to
        RETSIGTYPE.
        From Colin Plumb.

        * Version 4.0e

        * tests/cp/same-file: Change the sed command used to extract the
        filename from ls -l output, to accommodate the change in format.

        * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Add a space between %s and %3u.  This
        assures that even when modebuf has the trailing `+' and there are more
        than 99 hard links to a file, the permissions string and the link count
        will be separated.

1999-04-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/shred.c (dopass): add curly braces to avoid warning about
        ambiguous `else'.
        (wipefd): Add parentheses suggested by gcc.
        (do_wipefd): Remove declaration of unused local.

1999-04-02  Colin Plumb  <colin@nyx.net>

        * shred.c [!HAVE_CONFIG_H] (xstrtoul, error, close_stdout): Added stubs
        to allow standalone compilation.

        (wipefile): Added support for emulating /dev/fd/# files even if
        the OS doesn't support them.  From Paul Eggert.

        (main, usage): Changed --device short option to -D.

        (wipefd, do_wipefd): Renamed function to do_wipefd and added
        separate wipefd that performs sanity checks on externally-opened file
        descriptors, such as not append-only.  From Paul Eggert.

        (do_wipefd, isaac_seedfd): Do not read file for any reason.
        if the file is low-entropy, it's a security hole.
        (wipefile) Changed to open O_WRONLY and chmod to write-only when
        forcing.
        (isaac_seedfd) Function deleted as unnecessary.
        From Paul Eggert.

        (dopass): Dynamically fall back to fsync() if fdatasync() fails,
        since POSIX, in their infinitesimal wisdom, encourage implementations
        that return constant -1, making compile-time testing useless.
        From Paul Eggert.

        (dopass): Changed to support a size of -1 to mean "unknown".
        This entailed changing to a counting-up offset rather than couting-down
        cursize for the central state variable.  Also changed size argument to
        be call-by-reference so that it can be passed back once known.
        (sizer) Function deleted as unnecessary.
        (wipefd): Changed to match.  From Paul Eggert

        (dopass): Try to skip over bad blocks in destination files.
        Also added ftruncate() for more complete destruction of metadata.

        (main, usage): Changed "-" to stand for standard output.
        (wipefd): Added error message to detect conflict with -v.

        (dopass): Added periodic fsync() calls to keep the pass progress
        display in sync with reality.  Hopefully they're sufficiently far spaced
        that throughput isn't affected.  It might be a good thing to do even in
        non-verbose mode, to avoid filling up the kernel caches with dirty data.
        Also added ftruncate() for more complete destruction of metadata.

        (quotearg_colon): New function to print
        pathological filenames properly.
        [!HAVE_CONFIG_H] (quotearg_colon_buf) New internal helper function
        that does most of the work.
        (wipefd, do_wipefd, dopass) Now take a qname (pre-quoted name) argument.
        (wipename, wipefile, main) Changed diagnostics to use quotearg_colon.
        Error messages are also in a more uniform format.
        From Paul Eggert.

        (struct Options, main, do_wipefd): Added -s/--size=N flag.
        (xstrtoul): Added support for valid_suffixes to help this.
        (usage) Documented it.

        (error): Changed some arguments from N_() to _(), since error()
        does not translate its argument.  I think this is a bug.

        (struct Options do_wipefd, wipefd, wipefile, main): moved passes
        argument into the Options structure as n_iterations, which is now a
        size_t.  From Paul Eggert.

        (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish): New functions
        to manage seeding of RNG with arbitrary-sized data.
        (isaac_init): commented out as dead code.
        (isaac_seed): changed to use new functions to prevent any possibility of
        a buffer overflow.

        (isaac_seed): Added support for Solaris' gethrtime()
        configure.in: Corresponding feature test.  From Paul Eggert.

        (wipename): Change remove() to unlink() for speed & portability.
        Use lstat() instead of access() to see if a filename is taken.  This
        works even on dangling symlinks and avoids the suid problems of
        access(2).  From Paul Eggert.

        (isaac_seed_machdep): New function for reading cycle counters

1999-04-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@shade.twinsun.com>

        (output_block_size): New var.
        (usage): Declare __noreturn__ attribute.
        (fdatasync): Define to -1 if not present, since we need to invoke both

        now try fdatasync, then fsync.
        (MIXIN): New macro.
        (isaac_seed): Use it to mix in values.  Add uid, gid to mix.

        (dopass, wipename, wipefile, main): Clean up error messages.
        (dopass): Keep track of offset relative to start of file, not
        end, since we may not know how large the file is.  If size is
        negative, write until we fall off the end of the file.
        (wipefd): Do not read output file.
        Return 0 if successful, -1 if not; do not make a special case for
        non-regular files, since our callers have that info now.

        (main): "-" now stands for standard output.
        Do not shred append-only standard output.
        (wipefile): Do not grant read permission to file when wiping it.
        Use symbolic permission (S_IWUSR), not octal.

        * src/system.h (S_IWUSR): Define if not already defined.

        this instead.

        use the value of the envvar VERSION_CONTROL.
        (base_name): Declare.
        Mostly from Akim Demaille.

        * lib/addext.c (base_name): Declare.

        (make_path): Use make_dir rather than open-coding it twice.
        This effectively reverses the order of the latter pair of stat/mkdir

        from format string.  From Michiel Bacchiani.

        * src/cp.c (do_copy): Rename local: s/unused/copy_into_self/.

        Per Kristian Hove reported that a certain move-directory-into-self
        wasn't properly diagnosed.

        * tests/mv/into-self-3: New file.
        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add into-self-3.
        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove earlier (but less effective)
        test for move/copy-into-self.
        Instead, deduce the move-into-self condition from errno==EINVAL
        after a failed rename.

        * po/el.po: New file.

1998-11-07  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * Version 4.0-b7.

        Accommodate the Hurd (defining lstat to rpl_lstat via config.h didn't
        work on Hurd systems because of an inline definition of lstat in a
        system header file).  This also makes it so that you may run `ls '' '
        on systems that let l?stat operate on the empty string.

        * src/remove.c [HAVE_LSTAT_EMPTY_STRING_BUG]: Define lstat to rpl_lstat
        and declare the latter.
        * lib/stat.c [stat]: Remove #undef.
        (rpl_stat): Protoize.
        * lib/lstat.c [lstat]: Remove #undef.
        (rpl_lstat): Protoize.  Use ENOENT, not EINVAL, to be consistent
        with lib/stat.c.
        * acconfig.h: Remove #undef's for lstat and stat.

1998-10-31  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new test `empty-name',
        but comment it out.
        * tests/rm/empty-name: New file.

        * acconfig.h (stat): New #undef.
        This omission was uncovered when Mark Kettenis reported that
        `rm -r ''' got a failed assertion on the Hurd.  This change
        doesn't fix *that* problem -- see above.

1998-10-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * Version 4.0-b6.

        * README: Man pages will now be supported to the extent that
        people send patches.

        * tests/rm/unreadable: Two new tests.
        * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new test `unreadable'.  But comment
        it out since we're so close to release and since the test compares the
        text of diagnostics that are likely to vary between systems.
        (TEST_ENVIRONMENT): Add required framework.

        * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't apply CLOSEDIR to a NULL
        pointer. (provoke with `mkdir -m 0100 x; rm -rf x')
        Upon CLOSEDIR failure, set `status' to RM_ERROR, not RM_OK.
        (remove_dir): Return `status', rather than always RM_OK.

1998-10-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * Version 4.0-b5.

        * lib/mktime.c: Update from libc with this additional change from Paul.
        * lib/strftime.c: Likewise.

        1998-10-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Don't invoke localtime_r or gmtime_r unless it's the GNU C
        library's localtime_r and gmtime_r; there are too many buggy
        implementations of localtime_r and gmtime_r out there, and
        it's not worth keeping track of all the different bugs.

        * mktime.c (__EXTENSIONS__, HAVE_LOCALTIME_R): Remove.
        (my_mktime_localtime_r): Renamed from localtime_r; all uses changed.
        Base it on localtime unless _LIBC.

        * strftime.c (__EXTENSIONS__): Remove.
        (my_strftime_gmtime_r): Renamed from gmtime_r; all uses changed.
        (my_strftime_localtime_r): Renamed from localtime_r; all uses changed.

1998-10-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * Version 4.0-b3.

1998-10-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * mktime.c (__mktime_internal): When the requested time falls
        in a spring-forward gap of size DT, return a time that is DT
        away from the requested time, preferring a time whose tm_isdst
        differs from the requested value.  Bump the max number of
        probes from 4 to 6 to account for the extra probes needed to
        discover a spring-forward gap in the worst case.

1998-10-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * mktime.c (my_mktime_localtime_r): Renamed from localtime_r.
        Define also if HAVE_LOCALTIME_R && defined (localtime_r), with
        a body that merely expands localtime_r; this works around a
        bug in Digital Unix 4.0A and 4.0D.

1998-10-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * po/Makefile.in.in (uninstall): Remove (historical?) command that

        * Version 4.0-b2.

        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PATH.

        * man/Makefile.maint ($(man_MANS)): Don't depend on actual executables.
        Instead, depend on corresponding source file and on configure.in.
        Based on suggestion and code from Akim Demaille.
        Factor out irregular men into Makefile.summ.

        * man/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add Makefile.summ.

        * man/Makefile.summ: New file.

        * src/Makefile.am (.rm-warn-stamp): Cope with $(srcdir) != ".".

        * tests/ls/cr-1: Don't use the ctime for testing, it is impossible

        (next_prime): Ansideclify.  Add an assertion.

        * lib/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove.  Automake groks the `LIBOBJS='

        Remove uses of most jm_* macros.

        * src/mv.c (do_move): Remove lots of code that was duplicated in
        copy.c (copy), now that copy() has better support for mv.  This fixes
        a bug with cross-filesystem `mv -i' whereby you could get two prompts
        for the same destination file and eventually remove the destination
        file even though one of the responses was negative.
        Reported by Dirk Lattermann.

        * src/copy.h: Better support for mv:

        Use more-specific preserve_* members in place of removed `preserve'.
        (copy_internal): Honor failed_unlink_is_fatal.

        * src/install.c (main): Rewrite argv-handling to be clearer.
        (copy_file): Rewrite to use copy.c (copy).

        (cp_option_init): New function.

        * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add tests/install/Makefile.

        * src/dd.c: Include safe-read.h.
        Don't declare safe_read.
        * src/touch.c: Likewise.

        * configure.in (jm_TYPE_SSIZE_T): Use it.
        * acconfig.h (ssize_t): Add undef.

1998-05-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * po/: Update from gettext-0.10.35.
        * intl/: Likewise.

1998-04-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * src/dircolors.c (parse_line): Use ISSPACE, not isspace.
        Use unsigned char * pointers, not potentially signed ones, to avoid
        sign extension.

        * configure.in: Use jm_ASSERT.
        * acconfig.h: Add NDEBUG.

        (dc_parse_file): Likewise.
        * src/du.c (main): Likewise.

        * lib/hash.c: Add curly braces around statements in
        if/else/while/do/etc. that span more than a line -- even around

        preceded by a comment line.

1998-04-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        with the above.

1998-04-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>

        * lib/regex.c (WIDE_CHAR_SUPPORT): Define.
        This now depends on HAVE_BTOWC so systems that lack btowc (like

1998-04-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@eng.ascend.com>

        * GNUmakefile: Add conditionals so that running `make' in an
        unconfigured source directory will get a reasonable diagnostic.

        works with `unsigned char'.
        From Greg Wooledge.
        (SCHAR_MIN, SCHAR_MAX, SHRT_MIN, SHRT_MAX, LONG_MAX, ULONG_MAX): Define.

        rule use the `-I m4' option.

        * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require 1.2h.

1998-03-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@eng.ascend.com>

        automatically handles it.

        * src/df.c (show_dev): If fsu_bavail_top_bit_set is nonzero,
        assume the original value corresponding to fsu_bavail was negative.

        With automake-1.2f, that hack is no longer needed.

        * src/remove.c: Use `virtual memory exhausted' message, not
        `Memory exhausted' to be consistent with the majority of other
        such messages.
        Say `removing all...', not `removing any...'.
        * src/rmdir.c (remove_parents): Be consistent with documentation of
        --verbose option and with remove.c in saying `removing...' before
        the operation is attempted.

1998-01-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@na-net.ornl.gov>

        * tests/ls/time-1 (test_failure): Rename does not update ctime;
        link does -- so use ln, not mv.
        Note that the SunOS4.1.4 failure of the ctime test is expected.

        Reported by Philippe De Muyter.

1998-01-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@na-net.ornl.gov>

        * Version 3.16k.

        * src/install.c (install_file_to_path): New function.
        FIXME: update fileutils.texi.
        (main): Handle new option, -D.
        Based on a patch from Marty Leisner.
        (usage): Describe -D.

        * src/ls.c (decode_switches) [-u]: Fix bug whereby -u worked only
        with -l or -t.  Now, -u (like -c) implies --sort=time.
        (usage): Correct descriptions of --sort, --time, and -t.
        Suggestions from Andreas Schwab.

        Add test for the above fix.
        * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add tests/ls/Makefile.
        * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add ls.

        * lib/getdate.y: Move inclusion of getdate.h and dependent extern
        declarations down so getdate.h's prototype follows the sometimes-
        enabled definition of `const' to nothing.  Otherwise, the prototype
        wouldn't match the definition because of the defined-away `const'.
        From Kaveh Ghazi.
        (get_date): ANSI-fy definition.
        Add %expect directive.

1998-01-05  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>

        * lib/makepath.c (make_path): Put only newly created directories
        on the LEADING_DIRS list.

1998-01-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/fsusage.c (PROPAGATE_ALL_ONES): New macro.
        (get_fs_usage): If a value consists entirely of 1 bits,
        propagate this info to the output by setting it to (uintmax_t) -1.
        * src/df.c (df_readable): New function.
        (show_dev): If a value consists entirely of 1 bits, or is derived
        from some other value that consists entirely of 1 bits, report "-".
        Check inode and block counts more carefully for plausibility,
        to avoid arithmetic overflow when computing percentages.

1998-01-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@na-net.ornl.gov>

        * Version 3.16j.

        * lib/Makefile.in: Regenerated with patched automake-1.2d.
        See README-alpha.

        * src/chgrp.c: Use a single enumerated type, Verbosity, instead of
        the two booleans, verbose and changes_only.  This fixes a bug whereby
        --change had the same effect as --verbose.
        * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
        * src/chown.c: Likewise.
        Reported by Paul Eggert.

1998-01-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Check for write errors more carefully.

        src/mvdir.c, src/rm.c, src/rmdir.c, src/sync.c, src/touch.c
        (main, usage): Check for write error to stdout before exiting.
        Include "closeout.h".

1998-01-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@na-net.ornl.gov>

        * src/df.c (show_dev): Treat `fsu.fsu_bavail == (unsigned long) -1'
        just like `fsu.fsu_blocks == 0' as an indicator that usage information
        is invalid.  This happens with Solaris-5.5.1 CD-ROM mount points.

        * lib/save-cwd.h: Guard PARAMS-enabling definition with
        `defined PROTOTYPES || (defined __STDC__ && __STDC__)' to avoid

        * lib/getdate.h: Likewise, but just to be consistent.

        * configure.in: Convert the .o suffix on files in LIBOBJS to $U.o so
        those files will be built via the ANSI2KNR-filtering rules if necessary.
        Reported by Kaveh Ghazi.

1998-01-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@na-net.ornl.gov>

        * Version 3.16i.

        Fix problem with `install -d'.  Reported by Marty Leisner.

        * src/install.c (get_ids): When otherwise unspecified,
        set uid and gid to -1.
        * lib/makepath.c (make_path): Try to change ownership only if we've
        just created the directory.  Fix latent bug (s/&&/||/ in two places --
        also, note that it could not be exercised via install or mkdir)
        whereby chown would not be invoked when only one of owner/group is
        not -1.

1998-01-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@na-net.ornl.gov>

        * src/rm.c (remove_cwd_entries): Initialize the entry-name obstack
        only once and never free it.
