2011-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering1-1/+1
Run "make update-copyright".
2010-11-16truncate: fix a very unlikely case for undiagnosed errorsPádraig Brady1-14/+15
src/truncate.c (main): Use a bool to store if an error occurred, rather than an int, to protect against overflow. (do_ftruncate): Likewise. Also change 0/false to mean failure rather than success.
2010-05-31maint: make spacing around "=" consistent, even in IF_LINTJim Meyering1-1/+1
E.g., - size_t desired_width IF_LINT (= 0); + size_t desired_width IF_LINT ( = 0); Use this command: g grep -l IF_LINT | grep '\.[ch]$' \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/(IF_LINT \()= /$1 = /'
2010-05-29truncate: improve handling of non regular filesPádraig Brady1-41/+18
Previously we copied `dd` and suppressed error messages when truncating neither regular files or shared mem objects. This was valid for `dd`, as truncation is ancillary to copying it may also do, but for `truncate` we should display all errors. Also we used the st_size from non regular files which is undefined, so we display an error when the user tries this. * src/truncate (do_truncate): Error when referencing the size of non regular files or non shared memory objects. Display all errors returned by ftruncate(). (main): Error when referencing the size of non regular files or non shared memory objects. Don't suppress error messages for any file types that can't be opened for writing. * tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail: Check that referencing the size of a directory is not supported. * tests/misc/truncate-fifo: Ensure the test doesn't hang by using the `timeout` command. Don't test the return from running ftruncate on the fifo as it's system dependent as to whether this fails or not. NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. Reported by Jim Meyering.
2010-05-28truncate: support sizes relative to an existing filePádraig Brady1-14/+22
* doc/coreutils.texi (truncate invocation): Mention that --reference bases the --size rather than just setting it. * src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise. Also remove the clause describing --size and --reference as being mutually exclusive. (do_truncate): Add an extra parameter to hold the size of a referenced file, and use it if positive. (main): Pass the size of a referenced file to do_truncate(). * tests/misc/truncate-parameters: Adjust for the new combinations. * NEWS: Mention the change Suggested by Richard W.M. Jones
2010-04-09maint: ftruncate is always available, even without gnulibJim Meyering1-6/+1
Now that even MinGW provides ftruncate, we know that all reasonable portability targets provide this function. Remove the workaround code. We nearly removed the gnulib module three years ago: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/9203 and it is now officially "obsolete". * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove ftruncate. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Remove use of HAVE_FTRUNCATE and its no-longer-used workaround code. * src/truncate.c: Remove a comment about handling missing ftruncate.
2010-02-15doc: fix inconsistent capitalization in --help outputPádraig Brady1-1/+1
* src/base64.c (usage): Don't capitalize the first character in an --option description. * src/stdbuf.c (usage): Likewise. * src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise. * cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase): A new syntax check to stop this happening in future. * man/Makefile.am (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Ensure all man pages are generated, then search for erroneous uppercase chars. * src/Makefile.am (all_programs): Ensure all commands are built so that all man pages can be generated.
2010-01-01maint: update all FSF copyright year lists to include 2010Jim Meyering1-1/+1
Use this command: git ls-files | grep -v COPYING \ | xargs env UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=1 \ build-aux/update-copyright
2009-09-21doc: mention the texinfo documentation in --helpPádraig Brady1-1/+1
* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C' (and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page. Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command. Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it. * man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the --help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man. Suggestion from C de-Avillez
2009-09-10doc: improve various BLOCKSIZE and SIZE helpOndřej Vašík1-4/+1
* doc/coreutils.texi (multiplierSuffixes): Mention that the suffix can be specified without a leading number * src/split.c (usage): Refactor SIZE help to within a function * src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise * src/df.c (usage): Likewise. Also add a function with BLOCKSIZE help * src/du.c (usage): Likewise. * src/system.h: Define 2 functions to emit common help text This was prompted by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=511188
2009-08-25maint: remove Local Variables: indent-tabs-mode: nil from all sourcesJim Meyering1-6/+0
* src/getlimits.c: Likewise. * src/group-list.c: Likewise. * src/groups.c: Likewise. * src/mktemp.c: Likewise. * src/setuidgid.c: Likewise. * src/stdbuf.c: Likewise. * src/timeout.c: Likewise. * src/truncate.c: Likewise. * gl/lib/mbsalign.c: Likewise. * tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise. * bootstrap: Likewise. * README-hacking: Likewise.
2009-05-11truncate: fix bug in use of isspaceEric Blake1-3/+3
* src/truncate.c (main): Pass unsigned characters to isspace. * NEWS: Mention this.
2009-04-07maint: Clarify ambiguous refs to Linux kernels or GNU/Linux systemsPádraig Brady1-1/+1
* README-prereq: s_linux_GNU/Linux_ or s_linux_Linux kernel_ * README-valgrind: ditto * src/chown-core.c: ditto * src/dd.c: ditto * src/df.c: ditto * src/ls.c: ditto * src/mv.c: ditto * src/pwd.c: ditto * src/remove.c: ditto * src/shred.c: ditto * src/stat.c: ditto * src/su.c: ditto * src/system.h: ditto * src/timeout.c: ditto * src/truncate.c: ditto
2008-12-21build: add configure-time --enable-gcc-warnings option; avoid warningsJim Meyering1-1/+1
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add "warnings" module. * configure.ac: Add --enable-gcc-warnings, derived from code in bison. * src/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Set to $(WARN_CFLAGS) # $(WERROR_CFLAGS) * lib/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Change spelling to $(WARN_CFLAGS) Don't use $(WERROR_CFLAGS), yet. * src/system.h (usage): Declare. * src/base64.c (usage): Declare to be global, for consistency. * src/timeout.c (usage): Likewise. * src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise. * src/getlimits.c (usage): Likewise. * src/pinky.c (ttyname): Declare with prototype, rather than an empty argument list. * src/who.c (ttyname): Likewise. * src/su.c (crypt, getusershell, setusershell, endusershell): Likewise.
2008-06-30truncate: ignore whitespace in --size parametersPádraig Brady1-0/+6
Without this, `truncate -s '> -1' F` would truncate F to length 0, and `truncate -s " +1" F` would truncate F to 1 byte. Now, each elicits a diagnostic. * src/truncate.c: Skip leading white space in the --size option argument and any white space after one of the relative modifiers, so that the presence of a +/- modifier can be detected reliably. * tests/misc/truncate-parameters: Add tests for the above.
2008-06-27truncate: silence -Wsign-compare warningsPádraig Brady1-2/+2
* src/truncate.c: Cast signed to unsigned to confirm intent which will silence -Wsign-compare warnings
2008-06-27truncate: Fix integer portability issuesPádraig Brady1-3/+4
* src/truncate.c: Explicitly convert from off_t to intmax_t when printing numbers as they may be different types. Also don't mix size_t and off_t types in operations as the latter will be promoted to unsigned when these types are the same size.
2008-06-26truncate: handle the case in which off_t != intmax_tJim Meyering1-5/+16
* src/truncate.c (parse_len): Use a temporary of type intmax_t, rather than off_t; detect out of range [OFF_T_MIN..OFF_T_MAX]. (main) [IF_LINT]: Initialize, to avoid an unwarranted "may be used uninitialized" warning. Reported by Michael Geng. Signed-off-by: Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>

In 1463824d8e7f72c31f1d803d7cfe2b608ccafc5c, I added some missing "const" directives, as well as some new, redundant ones. This removes the redundant ones.
