Jim Meyering a0db0def2d * coreutils.texi (wc invocation): When giving the order in which

Paul Eggert b7c315cdda [ChangeLog]
* NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
two users.  "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
* src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
[doc/ChangeLog]

the output with "user :" unless more than one user is specified.

Paul Eggert 5c81574ed5 tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
2006-09-08 17:19:51 +00:00
Paul Eggert aff5a4f2ab (Treating / specially): --preserve-root is
now the default for rm.
(rm invocation): Likewise.  Also, document that you can't
remove `.' or `..'.  Use the POSIX term "root directory"
rather than the more-ambiguous "file system root".

Paul Eggert 218fa5c61b Add/fix copyright notices and adjust to latest GNU FDL. 2006-08-17 19:58:17 +00:00

nothing.

Paul Eggert 0d98074403 (shuf invocation, Random sources): New sections.
(Operating on sorted files): Add shuf.
(sort invocation, shred invocation): New option --random-source.

2006-08-08 22:11:49 +00:00
Paul Eggert 82e0ce4d8b (install invocation, mkdir invocation):
Add cross-references to Directory Setuid and Setgid.
(install-invocation): The default mode is no longer equivalent to 755.
2006-07-28 07:20:28 +00:00
Jim Meyering d2c6ae7fbc * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
than having the code test for all of the other types first.
Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.

* doc/coreutils.texi (What information is listed): Mention that missing
pieces of information are marked with "?".  From Paul Eggert.
2006-07-26 14:06:57 +00:00
Paul Eggert bdcc26e24b (Mode Structure, Symbolic Modes, Numeric Modes): Be more careful
about distinguishing file mode bits from permissions bits,
and about execute versus search permission.  The FreeBSD command
is chflags, not chrflags.
2006-07-23 01:26:56 +00:00
Paul Eggert e27208b635 (What information is listed): Clarify that the restricted deletion
flag is another name for the sticky bit.
2006-07-22 23:41:43 +00:00
Paul Eggert 3a10b32994 Change GNU to @acronym{GNU} in a few places.
Use "set-user-ID" and "set-group-ID" a bit more consistently.
Use "appropriate privileges" rather than "super-user" a bit
more consistently.
(install invocation): Parent directories are now 755 without uid
or gid changing.  The default mode is now 0755, not 755.
(mkdir invocation): Rewrite the top-level usage description, since
I couldn't easily follow the old one.  It's now 3 lines not 8.
For -m, describe file permission bits versus other bits, and note
that mkdir is atomic if you don't mention special bits.
(chmod invocation): Mention what chmod does to setgid and setuid bits.
2006-07-17 03:06:03 +00:00
Jim Meyering 24ec8f28bb * coreutils.texi (Squeezing): Separate doubled "the", so typo-checkers
don't complain.
2006-07-08 06:03:50 +00:00
Jim Meyering 38fbc11f7b * coreutils.texi: Fix some typos. Use `zeros' consistently (both
`zeros' and `zeroes' are correct).
2006-07-08 05:28:39 +00:00
Paul Eggert 0830b1b82a (tail invocation): With no operand, 'tail -f' now
silently ignores the '-f' only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe
and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
2006-07-01 23:49:46 +00:00
Paul Eggert 248c092226 (seq invocation): seq now uses long double
internally rather than double.  It now defaults to a minimal fixed
point format if possible.  It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
Don't assume printf doesn't work for numbers that fit in 64 but
not 32 bits; typically they work these days.  Improve discussion
of large integers and update the rounding-error numbers.
2006-07-01 00:10:21 +00:00
Paul Eggert 5b3614ac91 (sort invocation): 'sort +1 -2' is now supported
even when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure
extension to POSIX.
2006-06-28 23:50:21 +00:00
Jim Meyering 05d3db5c60 * coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Remove ./ prefix from example.

multiple arguments and suffixes are extensions.
Reported by Dan Jacobson.

Paul Eggert 79cbf5925c (What information is listed): Add P for Solaris
10 ports.  Add commented-out entries for other types that POSIX
says are possible, or that I observed in FreeBSD documentation.
2006-04-17 23:20:53 +00:00
Jim Meyering 0c13c770e3 (Input processing in ptx): Remove mention of the
default --ignore file, /usr/local/lib/eign.  That file has never been used.
Reported by Eric Blake.

Paul Eggert ce1f8e6ecd (expr invocation): expr exit status is 3 only for
internal errors now; 2 is also for invalid values in expressions.
2006-04-12 07:47:11 +00:00
Paul Eggert dd175a9f41 (Top): Fix typo in System context menu entry: hostid wasn't mentioned. 2006-04-09 07:52:33 +00:00

Improve documentation to match recent // patches.
2006-03-26 12:11:40 +00:00
Paul Eggert 29360166ff (nohup invocation): nohup now redirects stderr to
