	tests: avoid $SHELL -c "ulimit ..." pattern
	As described in commit v9.10-283-g5cb0cca3b
	avoid using ulimit with $SHELL -c, and explict
	invocation of the shell like that can require lots of memory,
	often due to loading the locale archive.

	* tests/misc/tty-eof.pl: Fix a race that commit v9.10-269-gf312af49a
	made more apparent, and resulted in intermittent failure like:
	"... (with input) didn't produce expected output".
	Now Instead of waiting for overlapping echo and output,
	just wait for EOF, and if received, use exp->before()
	to inspect the accumulated output.

	tests: fix false failure under some shells
	Verified with:
	  make -j4 PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL=/bin/ksh SUBDIRS=. check

	* tests/fold/fold-zero-width.sh: Don't timeout $SHELL -c ...
	as the ulimit induces a failure in the subshell depending
	on the order of the allocations it does.  The main issue is
	disparity between the probed ulimit and that needed by $SHELL -c.
	Such subshells load the often very large locale archive, thus
	if there are any allocations done after the now too low ulimit is set,
	then the $SHELL command fails. Note we timeout fold rather than
	the whole pipeline so any 124 exit status is propagated.

	mktemp: prefer rmdir and unlink to remove
	This avoids the following behavior:

	    $ strace -e silence=exit -e trace=unlink,rmdir \
	        mktemp -d > /dev/full
	    unlink("/tmp/tmp.ZBuPmS9ZGD") = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory)
	    rmdir("/tmp/tmp.ZBuPmS9ZGD")  = 0
	    mktemp: write error: No space left on device

	In the above invocation we know that we created a directory, so we
	should not remove a regular file that must have been created by another
	process:

	    $ strace -e silence=exit -e trace=unlink,rmdir \
	        ./src/mktemp -d > /dev/full
	    rmdir("/tmp/tmp.hGbME1HmJr") = 0

	doc: document cut(1) multi-byte and interface consolidation
	This patch set updates cut(1) to be multi-byte aware.
	It also reduces interface divergence across implementations.

	multi-byte awareness was added to the existing -c, n, and -d options.
	Also considered for compatibility are the -w, -F, and -O options,
	as these are present on at least two other common implementations.

	= Interface / New functionality =

	    macOS,  i18n, uutils, Toybox, Busybox, GNU
	-c    x      x       x      x        x      x
	-n    x      x                              x
	-w    x              x                      x
	-F                          x        x      x
	-O                          x        x      x

	-c is needed anyway as specified by all, including POSIX.
	-n is needed also as specified by i18n/macOS/POSIX
	-w is somewhat less important, but seeing as it's
	on two other common platforms (and its functionality is
	provided on two more), providing it is worthwhile for compat.
	-F and -O are really just aliases to other options
	so trivial to add, and probably worthwhile for compatibility.

	Interface / functionality notes:

	There is a slight divergence between -n implementations.
	There was already a difference between FreeBSD and i18n, and
	we've aligned with the more sensible FreeBSD implementation.
	Note the i18n -n implementation is otherwise buggy in any case,
	so I doubt this will be a practical compatibility concern.
	Actually -n is specified by POSIX, and it matches FreeBSD.
	Specifically our -n will not output a character unless the
	byte range encompasses _the end_ of the multi-byte character.
	I.e. the -b is a limit that is not passed, and thus ensures
	we don't output overlapping characters for separate cut
	invocations that do not have overlapping byte ranges.

	-d <regex> from toybox is not implemented.
	That's edge case functionality IMHO and not well suited to cut(1).
	This functionality is supported by awk, and regex functionality
	is best restricted to awk I think.

	cut is a significant part of the i18n patch, so it will be good
	to avoid that downstream divergence.  Unfortunately there were
	no tests with the cut i18n implementation.
	Note the i18n cut implementation used fread() as so was
	not reponsive to new data < BUFSIZ, whereas this implementation
	uses read() and thus is responsive to data as it becomes available.

	= Performance =

	General performance notes:

	We prefer byte searching (with -d) as that can be much faster
	than character by character processing, and it's supported
	on single byte and UTF-8 charsets.  We also use byte searching
	with -w on uni-byte locales.
	This was seen to give up to 100x perf increase over the i18n patch.

	Where we do use per character processing, we avoid conversion to
	wide char when processing ASCII data (mcel provides this optimization).
	This was seen to give a 14x performance increase over the i18n patch.

	We prefer memchr() and strstr() as these are tuned for specific
	platforms on glibc, even if memchr2() or memmem()
	are algorithmically better.

	We maintain the important memory behavior
	of only buffering when necessary.

	Performance testing:

	There are _lots_ of combinations and optimziation opportunities.
	I performance tested this patch set with the following setup:

	$ yes | head -n10M > sl.in
	$ yes $(yes eeeaae | head -n10K | paste -s -d,) | head -n10K > ll.in
	$ yes $(yes eeeaae | head -n9 | paste -s -d,) | head -n1M > as.in
	$ yes $(yes éééááé | head -n9 | paste -s -d，) | head -n1M \
	  > mb.in

	$ for type in sl ll as mb; do
	    cat $type.in >/dev/null;
	    for imp in '' src/; do  # '' maps to the system i18n ver on Fedora
	      echo ============ "${imp:-i18n}" $type ==============;
	      for d in -d, -dc -d， -dç -w -b -c; do
	        fields='-f1 -f10 -f100'
	        test "$d" = "-b" && { fields='-b1 -b10 -b100'; d=''; }
	        test "$d" = "-c" && { fields='-c1 -c10 -c100'; d=''; }
	        for f in $fields; do
	          for loc in C C.UTF-8; do
	            # SKip -b for UTF-8 as no different
	            test "$loc" = C.UTF-8 && echo "$f" | grep -q -- -b \
	             && continue
	            # Skip multi-byte delimiter for C and not allowed
	            test "$loc" = C && test $(echo -n "$d" | wc -c) -ge 4 \
	             && continue
	            LC_ALL=$loc ${imp}cut $f $d /dev/null 2>/dev/null &&
	            hyperfine -m2 -M4 \
	             "LC_ALL=$loc ${imp}cut $f $d $type.in >/dev/null" ||
	            printf 'Benchmark 1: %s\n  unsupported\n\n' \
	             "LC_ALL=$loc ${imp}cut $f $d $type.in >/dev/null"
	          done;
	        done;
	      done;
	    done;
	  done

	After a little post-processing of the results, we get:

	-- cut-i18n

	In summary, compared to the i18n patch we're now as fast in all cases,
	and much faster in most cases.

	We can see the -f byte searching performing well,
	being 120x faster in the no matching delimiter case,
	to at least 3x faster in the matching delimiter case.

	When we resort to per character processing we also compare well,
	being 14x faster in the ASCII processing case
	(due to mcel short-circuiting the wide char conversion).
	Note the processing mb.in results above also show a 2x win
	in per character processing cases, but the i18n patch would have
	also picked that win up as it's achieved separately to this patch set:

2026-04-05  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	cut: fix logic issue with field delim in last byte of buffer
	With field delimiter = line delimiter we need to know
	if there is any more data to be read, as field delimiter
	in the last byte of the file is treated differently.
	So reiterate the loop to ensure enough read()s to make
	the appropriate determination.

	cut: ensure responsive input processing
	* gl/lib/mbbuf.h (fill_buf): Switch from fread() to read()
	as the former retries read() internally to fill the buffer.
	* src/cut.c: Adjust accordingly, and avoid getc() interface entirely.
	* bootstrap.h: Depend explicitly on fseterr.  This is already depended
	on transitively, so should not introduce new build portability issues.

	maint: cut: rename line_in to bytes_in
	* src/cut.c: We're not reading a line, rather a buffer of bytes.
	Suggested by Collin Funk.

	tests: cut: add more multi-byte tests

	cut: make the dependency on memchr2 explicit
	* bootstrap.conf: Remove now unused getndelim2, add memchr2.
	* src/cut.c: Remove now unused getndelim2.h.

	cut: combine cut_bytes_no_split and cut_characters
	per character based so merge.

	doc: cut: clarify that combining characters are not treated specially
	This is for consistency with other implementations and since the
	interface separates -b and -c it might in future support -g (graphemes).
	Normalizing content with a filter seems like the most appropriate
	approach anyway, as there are various normalizations possible including
	case etc. rather than baking that into every tool

	maint: cut: various code cleanups and comments

	cut: support no delimiter match fast path with -s
	* src/cut.c (cut_fields_bytesearch): Just skip the data with -s.

	* doc/coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Add back the -d description,

	delimitier, and detail the behavior when the delimiter matches
	the line delimiter.

	maint: cut: cleanup context management for byte search
	* src/cut.c: Hoist at_eof into context so we're not
	querying it multiple times.  Also add a helper
	to explicitly init bytesearch_context.

	cut: optimize UTF-8 input with 0xF5-0xFF delimiters
	* src/cut.c (bytesearch_field_delim_ok): Expand the range
	of bytes that can be simply searched for. 0xF5-0xFF can't
	appear in valid UTF-8 characters, and so may be used as
	delimiters in UTF-8 input, so it's worth optimizing for.
	* tests/cut/cut.pl: Add a test case (mainly as documentation).

	doc: cut: clarify that -s suppressed lines with only trimmed spaces
	* doc/coreutils.texi (cut invocation): State explicitly that
	-s --whitespace-delimited=trimmed will suppress lines that
	do not have field separating blanks.

	doc: cut: mention the default -O used with -w
	* doc/coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Mention the default
	--output-delimiter is a TAB when matching runs of blanks in the input.

	maint: cut: simplify mbbuf_fill
	We can only byte search with uni-byte or utf-8.
	utf-8 implicitly can't false match a delimiter at buffer boundary.
	So don't worry about finding the exact utf8 boundary at end of buffer,
	rather just ensuring the buffer always starts with a valid character
	(by ensuring MCEL_LEN_MAX-1 moved to start of buffer on each refill).

	maint: refactor is_utf8_charset helper to system.h
	* src/cut.c: Move from here.

	cut: enable fast path for all delimiter lengths
	1. Removed !have_pending_line from the fast path condition.
	This is safe because:
	  - field_1_n_bytes == 0 already ensures we haven't started
	    buffering field 1 content
	  - The fast path correctly continues any pending partial line
	    by writing raw bytes including the completing \n
	2. Added have_pending_line = false after the fast path write,
	since all lines up to the last \n are now complete.

	cut: optimize -b by avoiding per byte iteration
	Always memchr(line_delim) which is fast and allows:

	- skipping whole segments when the next selected byte is beyond them

	This wins for lines >= 4 characters,
	but is slower lines <= 3 characters, especially if selecting bytes 1-3.
	That is unusual though.

	cut: refactor -f to byte search and character processing
	Not sure about this at all.
	Only worthwhile if can also remove cut_fields_line_delim.

	Refactored src/cut.c so the old UTF-8 byte-search path is now the
	general byte-search field engine for all safe byte-search cases:
	ordinary single-byte delimiters and valid UTF-8 delimiters. The old
	cut_fields path did not go away completely; it is now
	cut_fields_line_delim and is used only when the field delimiter equals
	the record delimiter, because -d $'\n' and -z -d '' have different
	semantics from normal line-based field splitting.

	As part of that, I also folded the duplicated “start selected field”
	logic into a shared helper, and renamed the byte-search helpers to match
	their broader use. The current dispatcher in src/cut.c is now:
	whitespace parser, then line- delimiter field mode, then byte-search
	field mode, then the decoded multibyte parser.

	cut: refactor multi-byte updates
	* src/cut.c: 160 fewer lines

	Helpers extracted (replacing repeated inline patterns):
	- write_line_delim(), write_pending_line_delim(), reset_item_line()
	  - line boundary code used by cut_bytes{,no_split}, cut_characters
	- write_selected_item()
	  - output-delimiter + write logic used by all three byte/char functions
	- reset_field_line()
	  - field line reset used by cut_fields_mb_any

	Field functions unified via cut_fields_mb_any(stream, whitespace_mode):
	- struct mbfield_parser encapsulates the whitespace vs.
	  fixed-delimiter state (saved char, mode flag)
	- mbfield_get_char() - dispatches to saved-char or direct read
	- mbfield_terminator()
	  - returns FIELD_{DATA,DELIMETER,LINE_DELIMITER} based on mode
	- read_mb_field_to_buffer()
	  - replaces the two duplicated first-field buffering loops
	- scan_mb_field(mbbuf, parser, pending, write_field)
	  - replaces the four duplicated field scan loops
	  (print+skip × two modes) with a single function and a write_field bool
	- cut_fields_mb and cut_fields_ws are now trivial wrappers

	cut: implement -n to avoid outputting partial characters
	Both the i18n patch and FreeBSD/macOS support this option.
	They do differ in behavior somewhat as the i18n patch
	may output more bytes than requested.

	  $ printf '\xc3\xa9b\n' | i18n-cut -n -b1
	  é

	There is also a bug in the i18n patch with multi-byte
	at the start of a line:

	  $ printf '\xc3\xa9b\n' | i18n-cut -n -b1-2
	  éb

	We follow the FreeBSD behavior since it seems more
	useful to have -b be a hard limit, rather than a soft limit.
	This also reduces the possibility of duplicate character output
	with separate cut invocations with non overlapping byte ranges.

	similar to cut_characters, to handle multi-byte characters
	with byte limit semantics.

	cut: support single byte -d that may be part of multi-byte
	Note this is a slight divergence from the i18n patch
	as that switched to uni-byte for any single byte delimiter
	that is not valid multi-byte.

	That results in possibly splitting in the middle of
	a valid multi-byte character.

	Instead we only split on a single byte when they're
	not part of a multi-byte character.

2026-03-23  Chris Down  <chris@chrisdown.name>

	sort: speed up keyed field sorting significantly using memchr
	When sort is invoked with an explicit field separator with `-t SEP`,
	begfield() and limfield() scan for the separator to locate boundaries.
	Right now the implementation there uses a loop that iterates over bytes
	one by one, which is not ideal since we must scan past many bytes of
	non-separator data one byte at a time.

	Let's replace each of these loops with memchr(). On glibc systems,
	memchr() uses SIMD to scan 16 bytes per step (NEON on aarch64) or 32
	bytes per step (AVX2 on x86_64), rather than 1 byte at a time, so any
	field longer than a handful of bytes stands to benefit quite
	significantly.

	Using the following input data:

	  awk 'BEGIN {
	      srand(42)
	      for (i = 1; i <= 500000; i++)
	          printf "%*d,%*d,%d\n", 4+int(rand()*9), 0,
	                                 4+int(rand()*9), 0, int(rand()*10000)
	  }' > short_csv_500k

	  awk 'BEGIN {
	      for (i = 1; i <= 500000; i++)
	          printf "%100d,%100d,%d\n", 0, 0, int(rand()*10000)
	  }' > wide_csv_500k

	One can benchmark with:

	  hyperfine --warmup 10 --runs 50 \
	    "LC_ALL=C sort_before -t, -k3,3n short_csv_500k > /dev/null" \
	    "LC_ALL=C sort_after -t, -k3,3n short_csv_500k > /dev/null"

	  hyperfine --warmup 10 --runs 50 \
	    "LC_ALL=C sort_before -t, -k3,3n wide_csv_500k > /dev/null" \
	    "LC_ALL=C sort_after -t, -k3,3n wide_csv_500k > /dev/null"

	  hyperfine --warmup 10 --runs 50 \
	    "LC_ALL=C sort_before wide_csv_500k > /dev/null" \
	    "LC_ALL=C sort_after wide_csv_500k > /dev/null"

	The results on i9-14900HX x86_64 with -O2:

	  sort -t, -k3,3n (500K lines, 4-12 byte short fields):
	    Before: 123.1 ms    After: 108.1 ms    (-12.2%)

	  sort -t, -k3,3n (500K lines, 100 byte wide fields):
	    Before: 243.5 ms    After: 165.9 ms    (-31.9%)

	  sort (default, no -k, 500K lines):
	    Before: 141.6 ms    After: 141.8 ms    (unchanged)

	And on M1 Pro aarch64 with -O2:

	  sort -t, -k3,3n (500K lines, 4-12 byte short fields):
	    Before: 98.0 ms     After: 92.3 ms     (-5.8%)

	  sort -t, -k3,3n (500K lines, 100 byte wide fields):
	    Before: 240.8 ms    After: 183.0 ms    (-24.0%)

	  sort (default, no -k, 500K lines):
	    Before: 145.6 ms    After: 145.6 ms    (unchanged)

	Looking at profiling, the improvement is larger on x86_64 in these runs
	because glibc's memchr uses AVX2 to scan 32 bytes per step versus 16
	bytes per step with NEON on aarch64.

	yes: use a zero-copy implementation via (vm)splice
	A good reference for the concepts used here is:
	https://mazzo.li/posts/fast-pipes.html
	We don't consider huge pages or busy loops here,
	but use vmsplice(), and splice() to get significant speedups:

	  i7-5600U-laptop $ taskset 1 yes | taskset 2 pv > /dev/null
	  ... [4.98GiB/s]
	  i7-5600U-laptop $ taskset 1 src/yes | taskset 2 pv > /dev/null
	  ... [34.1GiB/s]

	  IBM,9043-MRX $ taskset 1 yes | taskset 2 pv > /dev/null
	  ... [11.6GiB/s]
	  IBM,9043-MRX $ taskset 1 src/yes | taskset 2 pv > /dev/null
	  ... [175GiB/s]

	Also throughput to file (on BTRFS) was seen to increase significantly.
	With a Fedora 43 laptop improving from 690MiB/s to 1.1GiB/s.

	* bootstrap.conf: Ensure sys/uio.h is present.
	This was an existing transitive dependency.
	* m4/jm-macros.m4: Define HAVE_SPLICE appropriately.
	We assume vmsplice() is available if splice() is as they
	were introduced at the same time to Linux and glibc.
	* src/yes.c (repeat_pattern): A new function to efficiently
	duplicate a pattern in a buffer with memcpy calls that double in size.
	This also makes the setup for the existing write() path more efficient.
	(pipe_splice_size): A new function to increase the kernel pipe buffer
	if possible, and use an appropriately sized buffer based on that (25%).
	(splice_write): A new function to call vmplice() when outputting
	to a pipe, and also splice() if outputting to a non-pipe.
	* tests/misc/yes.sh: Verify the non-pipe output case,
	(main): Adjust to always calling write on the minimal buffer first,
	then trying vmsplice(), then falling back to write from bigger buffer.
	and the vmsplice() fallback to write() case.
	* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

	cksum: use more defensive escaping for --check
	cksum --check is often the first interaction
	users have with possibly untrusted downloads, so we should try
	to be as defensive as possible when processing it.

	Specifically we currently only escape \n characters in file names
	presented in checksum files being parsed with cksum --check.
	This gives some possibilty of dumping arbitrary data to the terminal
	when checking downloads from an untrusted source.
	This change gives these advantages:

	  1. Avoids dumping arbitrary data to vulnerable terminals
	  2. Avoids visual deception with ansi codes hiding checksum failures
	  3. More secure if users copy and paste file names from --check output
	  4. Simplifies programmatic parsing

	Note this changes programmatic parsing, but given the original
	format was so awkward to parse, I expect that's extremely rare.
	I was not able to find example in the wild at least.
	To parse the new format from from shell, you can do something like:

	  cksum -c checksums | while IFS= read -r line; do
	    case $line in
	      *': FAILED')
	        filename=$(eval "printf '%s' ${line%: FAILED}")
	        cp -v "$filename" /quarantine
	        ;;
	    esac
	  done

	This change also slightly reduces the size of the sum(1) utility.
	This change also apples to md5sum, sha*sum, and b2sum.

	* src/cksum.c (digest_check): Call quotef() instead of
	cksum(1) specific quoting.
	* tests/cksum/md5sum-bsd.sh: Adjust accordingly.
	* doc/coreutils.texi (cksum general options): Describe the
	shell quoting used for problematic file names.

	  make[4]: *** [Makefile:24685: tests/misc/usage_vs_refs.log] Error 129
	  ...

	This happened sometimes when the tests were being run non interactively.
	For example when run like:

	  setsid make TESTS="tests/timeout/timeout.sh \
	   tests/tail/overlay-headers.sh" SUBDIRS=. -j2 check

	Note the race window can be made bigger by adding a sleep
	after tail is stopped in overlay-headers.sh

	The race can trigger the kernel to induce its job control
	mechanism to prevent stuck processes.
	I.e. where it sends SIGHUP + SIGCONT to a process group
	when it determines that group may become orphaned,
	and there are stopped processes in that group.

	* tests/tail/overlay-headers.sh: Use setsid(1) to keep the stopped
	tail process in a separate process group, thus avoiding any kernel
	job control protection mechanism.
	* tests/timeout/timeout.sh: Use setsid(1) to avoid the kernel
	checking the main process group when sleep(1) is reparented.

2026-02-16  Chris Down  <chris@chrisdown.name>

	pwd: fix heap buffer overflow in file_name_prepend
	file_name_prepend works by right-aligning path data in a growing buffer.
	When the buffer is too small, it then allocates a new buffer via
	xpalloc() and copies existing data to the end of the new buffer.

	Unfortunately, the memcpy destination is computed as buf + p->n_alloc -
	n_free, but xpalloc has already updated p->n_alloc to the new (larger)
	allocation size while n_free still reflects the old state. This places
	the data at too high an offset, writing past the end of the buffer.

	Update to properly calculate the destination offset.

	Fixes: v9.5-171-g61ab25c35 ("pwd: prefer xpalloc to xnrealloc")

	doc: make legacy digest utility --help reference cksum nodes
	* src/system.h (oputs_): Map md5sum etc. to cksum urls,
	as we only have cksum anchors in the manual to avoid

	doc: tweak tests to avoid false failure with --help
	* tests/df/df-output.sh: Use a more relaxed match.
	* tests/du/inodes.sh: Likewise.

	doc: all: use option highlighting and more standard alignment
	Adjust all utils to:
	  - Have a separate translation per option
	  - Use either oputs() or oprintf(), instead of fputs() or printf().
	  - Use more standard alignment as discussed in previous commits.
	  - Various tweaks to descriptions.

	doc: readlink: improve option ordering in texinfo
	* doc/coreutils.texi (readlink invocation): Order -q,-s alphabetically.

	doc: chcon: use more standard -HLP desciptions
	* src/chcon.c (usage): Use emit_symlink_recurse_options ("-P").

	doc: highlight -HLP options
	* src/system.h (emit_symlink_recurse_options): Highlight -HLP,
	for chmod, chcon etc.

	doc: put --help and --version descriptions on separate line
	* src/system.h: This aligns the output with the option
	description format used in most commands

	doc: ls: put option description on separate line to option
	* src/ls.c (usage): This is less constrained when writing comments,
	and more consistent in output alignment.  There is less delineation
	between options and descripts, but given options are highlighted
	by default now, this is a more appropriate format to use.
	Note consistently showing description on the line following the option,
	avoids any issue with the user needing to visually line up
	the option with a description far to the right.
	Note this format more closely aligns with that used in man pages.

	doc: help2man: account for undisplayed markup in indenting calculations
	* man/help2man: This is significant with the indented line
	following the dd bs=BYTES "option" at least.

	doc: help2man: convert all hyperlinks, not just ones in --options
	* man/help2man: Make the (--?) part of the match optional.
	Note we still extract the dashes, to support the existing
	option matching logic in help2man.

	doc: help2man: support alternate format OSC hyperlinks
	* man/help2man: The BEL terminator format was already supported.
	Add support for ESC + backslash terminator.  Also split out
	and document the regular expression.

	doc: help2man: convert OSC hyperlinks
	* man/help2man: Convert OSC hyperlinks to roff \X escapes,
	which will be converted back to OSC hyperlinks when
	the man page is displayed on the terminal.
	Note formatting is removed from hyperlinked text by default,
	thus relying on how the terminal highlights hyperlinks,
	but --bold-refs is honored in this case, in which hyperlinked
	text will be marked up as bold, which matches the default
	markup used for non hyperlinked options.

	doc: help2man: recognise option description with smaller indent
	* man/help2man: Allow for a smaller indented option description.
	This smaller indentation is present in timeout --help output,
	so now the line spacing in timeout.1 is more consistent.
	Also having the description on a separate line with
	a smaller indentation, is a more general way to present
	option descriptions (and what the man page formatting uses already).
	We'll be changing many utilities, especially with longer multi-line
	descriptions to this new format.

	doc: help2man: strip ANSI codes
	* man/help2man: With these ANSI codes, output is corrupted,
	so it's best to strip these, which allows --help to
	outputting formatting and hyperlinks by default.

	doc: support highlighting printf formatted options
	* src/system.h (oprintf): Add a printf wrapper that
	calls oputs_() to markup the formatted text.

	doc: support more general option matching
	* src/system.h: Support "-p DIR, --tmpdir[=DIR]" option.
	Previously only the "-p" was highlighted.
	Support highlighting dd option syntax (no '-').
	Support test(1) "FILE1 -nt FILE2" syntax.

	doc: parse any whitespace as an option/description delimiter
	* src/system.c (oputs_): Use isspace() rather than hardcoding.
	Note we don't use c_isspace() as we need to support anything
	coming from translations.

	doc: optimize logic to disable SGR output in --help
	* src/system.h (oputs_): Simplify processing if neither
	MANUAL_URL or BOLD_MAN_REFS is defined.  Also ensure
	we only lookup the HELP_NO_MARKUP env var once per process.

	doc: move oputs() to system.h to support all commands
	* src/ls.c: Move non ls specific helper to ...
	* src/system.h: ... here.

	doc: support a configurable manual url
	* configure.ac: Support ./configure --enable-manual-url=...
	* src/ls.c (oputs): Adjust accordingly.

	doc: --help: --disable-bold-man-page-references configures bold refs
	* configure.ac: Adjust help text for --disable-bold-man-page-references,
	and also define BOLD_MAN_REFS.
	* src/ls.c (oputs): Output bold iff BOLD_MAN_REFS is defined.

	doc: ls: support styling and links in --help output
	* src/ls.c (oputs): A new function that wraps puts(),
	but also highlights the --option-text portion, and
	adds links to the appropriate part of the online manual.
	(usage): Call oputs() rather than puts().
	* doc/coreutils.texi (--help): Document new HELP_NO_MARKUP env var,
	which can be used in the edge case one wants to suppress ansi escapes.
	* tests/misc/getopt_vs_usage.sh: Use HELP_NO_MARKUP to ensure the
	test continues to pass.

	tests: test: ensure whitespace ignored when parsing numbers
	* tests/test/test.pl: Add a test case.

	cksum: use more accurate program name in single binary mode
	Following commit v9.9-109-gcd5229222

	* src/cksum.c (PROGRAM_NAME): In legacy mode, i.e., when built
	as a single binary, set the PROGRAM_NAME dynamically based on
	the selected digest type.  This is significant in --help
	to ensure the correct texinfo node is referenced, and in
	--version to ensure the correct utility name is output.

	to a separate "not built unless appropriate" class, so that

	readlink,realpath: promptly diagnose write errors
	The 'readlink' and 'realpath' programs have an uncommon case where they
	can run for a very long time. When canonicalizing file names longer than
	PATH_MAX, we have to call 'openat' for each directory up the tree until
	we reach root which takes a long time. Here is an example of the current
	behavior:

	    $ mkdir -p $(yes a/ | head -n $((32 * 1024)) | tr -d '\n')
	    $ while cd $(yes a/ | head -n 1024 | tr -d '\n'); do :; \
	        done 2>/dev/null
	    $ pwd | tr '/' '\n' | wc -l
	    32771
	    $ env time --format=%E readlink -f $(yes . | head -n 5) > /dev/full
	    readlink: write error: No space left on device
	    Command exited with non-zero status 1
	    0:59.72
	    $ env time --format=%E realpath $(yes . | head -n 5) > /dev/full
	    realpath: write error: No space left on device
	    Command exited with non-zero status 1
	    1:00.32

	It is better to exit as soon as there is an error writing to standard
	output:

	    $ env time --format=%E readlink -f $(yes . | head -n 5) > /dev/full
	    readlink: write error: No space left on device
	    Command exited with non-zero status 1
	    0:11.88
	    $ env time --format=%E realpath $(yes . | head -n 5) > /dev/full
	    realpath: write error: No space left on device
	    Command exited with non-zero status 1
	    0:12.04

	* src/readlink.c (main): Check if standard output has it's error flag
	set after printing a file name.
	* src/realpath.c (process_path): Likewise.
	* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

	cksum: validate options more consistently
	We disallow `cksum --tag --check` which is fine,
	but the error should be consistent with md5sum,
	and less confusing, as it currently mentions
	"--binary" and "--text" which weren't specified.

	We disallow `cksum --tag --text` which is fine,
	but we should also disallow `cksum --text --tag`.

	We should honor an explicit --binary (output *)
	with this combination of options:
	cksum --binary --tag --untagged -a md5 /dev/null

	Note this also makes both of `cksum -a md5` and
	`cksum --tag -a md5` consistently use binary mode
	when reading from a tty on systems like MinGW
	where O_BINARY is set.

	* src/cksum.c (main): Adjust --text,--binary
	and --tag,--untagged option processing.
	* tests/cksum/cksum-a.sh: Add test cases.

	copy: protect against infinite loop due to pathological race
	Consider:

	1. In infer_scantype():
	    - SEEK_DATA returns 0
	      - hole punched at 0
	    - SEEK_HOLE returns 0 (now a hole)
	    - Cache scan_inference->hole_start = 0
	2. In lseek_copy():
	      - data written at 0
	    - ext_start = 0, use cached hole_start = 0
	    - ext_len = 0
	    - now loop doesn't progress

	* src/copy-file-data.c (lseek_copy): Apply a more defensive check
	to ensure we only use the cached offsets in SCAN_INFERENCE once.
	This protects against an infinite loop where an extent (at SRC_POS)
	flip flops between data and hole extent while infer_scantype()
	and lseek_copy() are inspecting it.  I.e. ensure we use SEEK_HOLE
	to progress the copy.

	with 'LD_PRELOAD was ineffective'.

	Changes:
	- Intercept both __xstat (glibc < 2.33) and stat (glibc >= 2.33)
	- Only mark 'preloaded' when stat is called on destination 'd',
	  ensuring the test verifies cp actually stats the destination

	tests: date: add another locale test case
	On a GNU/Linux system, we have the following:

	    $ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 date -u -d 1:00
	    Sun Dec 14 01:00:00 AM UTC 2025
	    $ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 locale date_fmt

	We respect the locales preference for a leading zero or leading space in
	single digit hours.

	* tests/date/date-locale-hour.sh: Check that the locales preference for
	leading zeros or spaces in single digit hours is used.

	timeout: honor ignored signal dispositions
	This behavior was depended on in our trap_sigpipe_or_skip_ helper,
	and now that we're handling all terminating signals, we should
	consistently honor their ignored signal dispositions.

	* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior, especially in regard
	to shell background jobs.
	* src/timeout.c (sig_needs_handling): A new helper that return TRUE,
	for --signal, SIG_ALRM, or non ignored signals.
	(cleanup_install): Filter handled signals with the helper.

	* tests/timeout/timeout-group.sh: Adjust to use the now required
	`env --default-signal=...` wrapper to reset (auto) ignored signals.
	Also change the termination signal from SIGINT to SIGUSR1
	to generalize the test signals not specially handled by the shell,
	and newly handled by timeout(1).
	* tests/timeout/timeout.sh: Add a test case for SIGPIPE
	to ensure the ignored signal disposition is honored.

	build: remove explicit link to CoreFoundation libs on macOS
	* src/local.mk: No longer explicitly depend on @INTL_MACOS_LIBS@

	The old dependency was through localename-unsafe, specifically
	date, du through show-date() (fprintftime), and
	ls, pr, stat, uptime through strftime().
	gnulib commit v1.0-2439-gff4b084a68 removed the localename-unsafe

	hardlink creation rule to mandeps.  Given the automake
	generated dependency chain, this ensures that the hardlinks
	are created _after_ the multicall binary, with `make all`
	or `make check` etc.
	* src/local.mk: Define the new src/coreutils_hardlinks rule,
	and only depend on src/coreutils_{symlinks,shebangs} if
	in those modes, so that hardlinks are created _after_
	the multicall binary, and other link types before.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest
	* gnulib: update to latest

	copy: be more defensive/restrictive with posix_fadvise
	* src/copy-file-data.c (copy_file_data): Only give the
	POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL hint when we _know_ we'll definitely
	use a read/write loop to copy the data.  Also only apply
	the hint to the whole file, as we've seen OpenZFS at least
	special case that.
	(sparse_copy): Update stale comment.

	copy: don't avoid copy-offload upon SEEK_HOLE indicating non-sparse
	* src/copy-file-data.c (infer_scantype): Fall back to a plain copy
	if SEEK_HOLE indicates non-sparse, as zero copy avoids copy offload.
	This was seen with transparently compressed files on OpenZFS.

	* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
	Addresses https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/122

	copy: avoid posix_fadvise bypassing copy offload behavior
	* src/copy-file-data.c (): pass 0 to posix_fadvise to indicate to EOF.
	coreutils 9.8 used OFF_T_MAX instead, which triggered OpenZFS 2.2.2
	at least to synchronously (decompress and) populate the page cache.

	cp: create_hole now returns off_t
	* src/copy-file-data.c (create_hole): Refactor by returning
	resulting offset, not bool.  All callers changed.

	cp: prefer signed types in copy-file-data.c
	* src/copy-file-data.c (sparse_copy, lseek_copy)
	(copy_file_data): Prefer idx_t to size_t.
	(copy_file_data): Defend against st_size < 0, which can happen on
	ancient buggy platforms.  Check for overflow; the old code was
	wrong on theoretical-but-valid hosts where SIZE_MAX <= INT_MAX.

	cp: don’t allocate a separate zero buffer
	* src/copy-file-data.c (write_zeros): New args abuf, buf_size.
	Use the lazily-allocated buffer, which most likely already exists,
	rather than allocating a separate buffer just for zeros.
	This makes the code more reentrant as there is no longer
	a need for static storage here.  Although there is some CPU
	overhead due to the need to zero out the buffer for each file,
	the overhead is relatively small as the buffer is smallish
	and should be cached.  All callers changed.

	cp: refactor copying to return bytes copied
	This doesn’t change behavior; it simplifies future changes.
	* src/copy-file-data.c (sparse_copy, lseek_copy, copy_file_data):
	Return the number of bytes copied, or -1 on failure,
	instead of merely returning a success indication.
	All callers changed.

	cp: copy_file_data now supports ibytes
	This does not affect current coreutils behavior;
	it is merely to help make copy_file_data more useful in the future.
	* src/copy-file-data.c (lseek_copy): New arg ibytes.
	Caller changed.
	(copy_file_data): Implement the ibytes arg; formerly
	it was always treated as COUNT_MAX, though all callers
	currently pass COUNT_MAX so there was no problem in practice.

	cp: prefer signed type for file byte count
	* src/copy-file-data.c (sparse_copy): max_n_read arg is now
	of type count_t, not uintmax_t.  This is better for debugging
	with -fsanitize=undefined.

	cp: port better to old limited hosts
	Port better ancient platforms where OFF_T_MAX is only 2**31 - 1,
	but some devices have more than that many bytes.
	* src/copy-file-data.c (copy_file_data): Byte count is now
	count_t, not off_t.  All callers changed.  Since we need to check
	for overflow anyway, also check for too-small calls to fadvise.

	cp: refactor out data copying
	* po/POTFILES.in, src/local.mk (copy_sources): Add the new file.
	* src/copy.c: Move the #includes of alignalloc.h, buffer-lcm.h,
	fadvise.h, full-write.h, ioblksize.h to copy-file-data.c.
	(enum copy_debug_val, struct copy_debug): Move these decls to copy.h.
	(punch_hole, create_hole, is_CLONENOTSUP, sparse_copy)
	(write_zeros, lseek_copy, HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_BLOCKS)
	(enum scantype, struct scan_inference, infer_scantype):
	Move to copy-file-data.c.
	(copy_reg): Move the data-copying part of this function
	to the new function copy_file_data in copy-file-data.c.
	* src/copy-file-data.c: New file, taken from part of copy.c.

	cp: refactor src/copy.c
	This is in preparation for splitting this large module.
	* src/copy.c (sparse_copy, lseek_copy): New arg DEBUG, used to
	identify copy debug info instead of using a static var.  All
	callers changed.
	(lseek_copy, infer_scantype): New args SRC_POS and POS.
	Callers changed.
	(copy_file_data): New function, with contents taken from copy.
	(copy_reg): Call it.

	nohup: avoid FORTIFY runtime failure on Bionic libc
	The meaning of non-file permission umask bits is implementation defined.
	On Bionic libc, attempting to set them triggers a FORTIFY runtime check.

	  $ nohup true

	  Aborted                    nohup true

	* src/nohup.c: (main) Avoid setting non-permission bits in umask.

	basenc: add base58 support
	A 58 character encoding that:
	 - avoids visually ambiguous 0OIl characters
	 - uses only alphanumeric characters
	Described at:
	 - https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-msporny-base58-03

	This implementation uses GMP (or gnulib's gmp fallback).
	Performance is good in comparison to other implementations.
	For example when using libgmp on an i7-5600U system,
	encoding is 530 times faster, and decoding 830 times faster
	than the implementation using arbitrary precision ints in cpython 3.13.

	Memory use is proportional to the size of input.

	Encoding benchmarks:

	  $ time yes | head -c65535 | src/basenc --base58 -w0 >file.enc
	  real    0m0.018s

	  ./configure --quiet --without-libgmp && make -j $(nproc)
	  $ time yes | head -c65535 | src/basenc --base58 -w0 >file.enc
	  real    0m3.431s

	  # dnf install python3-base58
	  $ time yes | head -c65535 | base58 >file.enc  # cpython 3.13
	  real    0m9.700s

	Decoding benchmarks:

	  $ time src/basenc --base58 -d <file.enc >/dev/null
	  real    0m0.010s

	  $ ./configure --without-libgmp && make  # gnulib gmp
	  $ time src/basenc --base58 -d <file.enc >/dev/null
	  real    0m0.145s

	  $ time base58 -d <file.enc >/dev/null  # cpython 3.13
	  real    0m8.302s

	* src/basenc.c (base_decode_ctx_finalize, base_encode_ctx_init,
	base_encode_ctx, base_encode_ctx_finalize): New functions to
	provide more general processing functionality.
	(base58_{de,en}code_ctx{_init,,_finalize}): New functions to

	cp: omit some needless lseek calls
	The sparse code sometimes issued multiple lseeks against the
	same file without doing anything in betwee.  Optimize them away
	by keeping track of the last hole output, in a way that
	crosses the sparse_copy function call boundary.
	* src/copy.c (sparse_copy): New arg hole_size, replacing old args
	scan_holes and last_write_made_hole.  All callers changed.
	(sparse_copy, lseek_copy): Do not create hole at
	end; let the caller deal with it.  All callers changed.
	(lseek_copy): New args hole_size and total_n_read.  Caller changed.
	(copy_reg): Create hole at end for both lseek_copy and sparse_copy.

	cp: --sparse=always was missing some holes
	The sparse code assumed that st_blksize was the minimum hole size.
	However, st_blksize is an optimum I/O buffer size, not the file
	system fundamental block size.  Use ST_NBLOCKSIZE instead;
	although it may underestimate the true block size that just slows
	‘cp’ down a bit, without introducing bugs.
	* src/copy.c (sparse_copy): Arg scan_holes replaces
	the old hole_size arg.  All callers changed.
	(lseek_copy): Remove hole_size arg; no longer needed.
	Caller changed.

	'make syntax-check' complains:
	  src/tail.c
	  maint.mk: the above files include safe-read.h but don't use it
	  make: *** [maint.mk:737: sc_prohibit_safe_read_without_use] Error 1

	The removal was missed for tail.c in recent commit d3c7072a0950.

	* src/tail.c (safe-read.h): Remove include.

2025-08-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	maint: prefer same-inode.h
	This does not change behavior on POSIX platforms; it’s mostly to
	make it clearer when we’re looking for file identity.
	* src/cat.c (main):
	* src/copy.c (struct dir_list, is_ancestor, copy_internal):
	* src/tail.c (struct File_spec, record_open_fd, recheck)
	(tail_forever_inotify, tail_file):
	* src/test.c (binary_operator):
	Use psame_inode, PSAME_INODE, or SAME_INODE instead of comparing
	device and inode numbers by hand.

	tail: refactor ‘failable’
	* src/tail.c (recheck, tail_file): Do not mark a file as tailable
	merely because --retry is not in effect.  Simplify internal logic.
	This should not change behavior; it’s just for clarity and to
	make the code match the comments better.

	tail: fix race between read and fstat
	* src/tail.c (get_file_status): Remove, since after the changes
	described below it would be called in just one place and it’s a
	bit clearer to inline by hand.
	(tail_file): Don’t call fstat after reading the file, as that
	misses changes arriving between read and fstat.  Instead, reuse
	the fstat done before reading the file.

	tail: track errno more accurately
	This matters only in some obscure cases hard to test for.
	* src/tail.c (file_lines, pipe_lines, pipe_bytes, start_bytes)
	(start_lines, tail_bytes, tail_lines, tail): New return
	convention, which reports errno.  All callers changed.
	(recheck): Don’t lose track of errno if a regular file is
	replaced by a symlink.
	(get_file_status): Set errno to 0 on success.
	(tail_file): Be more careful about f->errnum.
	It is now -1 only if the failure was not due to
	a system call failing.

	tail: omit redundant assignment
	* src/tail.c (recheck): f->remote must be true already,
	so don’t set it to true.

	tail: prefer readlink to lstat+S_ISLNK
	When not already calling lstat for some other reason,
	prefer readlink to lstat+S_ISLNK,
	as readlink does not suffer from EOVERFLOW issues.
	* src/rmdir.c (main):
	* src/tail.c (recheck, any_symlinks):
	* src/test.c (unary_operator):

	tail: fix unlikely races with >=2 --pids
	Also, fix commentary to talk about “nonexistent” rather than
	“dead” processes, since the code looks for the former not the
	latter and the difference matters for zombies.
	* src/tail.c (some_writers_exist): Rename from writers_are_dead,
	negate the sense, don’t have a special and counterintuitive case
	for !nbpids, remove PIDs found not to exist, and avoid some
	though not all unlikely races when kernels reuse PIDs.
	(tail_forever): Optimize via blocking I/O even if --pid was used,
	so long as all the writers no longer exist.
	(tail_forever, tail_forever_inotify): Simplify the writers_dead
	logic; there is no need to have a local var to track this, since
	we can use pids and nbpids now.
	(parse_options): Also free and clear pids if !forever.

	tail: prefer < 0 to == -1
	* src/tail.c (valid_file_spec, recheck, writers_are_dead)
	(tail_forever, check_fspec, tail_forever_inotify, tail_file)
	(parse_options, main): Be a bit more systematic about checking
	for sign, rather than for exact equality or inequality,
	when the sign is enough.  Makes the code a bit clearer
	now that -2 sometimes means success.

	tail: record file offset more carefully
	* src/tail.c (struct File_spec): New member read_pos, replacing
	size, since the value was really a read position not a size.
	All uses changed.
	(xlseek): Move defn up.
	(record_open_fd): If the read_pos (formerly) size arg is unknown,
	compute it here if it is a regular file.
	(file_lines): Return the resulting read pos (or -1 on failure)
	instead of storing it via a pointer.  Caller changed.
	Simplify by using SEEK_CUR instead of SEEK_SET when that is easy.
	Avoid reading the same data twice when there are not enough
	lines in the file.
	(pipe_lines): Return -2 on success, -1 on failure, rather than
	updating a read pos via a pointer (which was weird for pipes anyway).
	Caller changed.
	(pipe_bytes, tail_bytes, tail_lines, tail):
	Return -1 on failure, a file offset if known, and < -1 otherwise,
	instead of storing a file offset via a pointer.  Caller changed.
	(pipe_bytes): Take initial file offset as an arg, or -1 if unknown.
	(start_bytes, start_lines): Return -1 (not 1) on error, -2 (not
	-1) on EOF, and do not accept pointer to read pos as an arg since
	neither we nor our caller know the read pos.  Callers changed.
	(recheck): Do not assume a newly-opened file is at offset zero,
	as this is not always true on Solaris.
	(tail_forever, check_fspec): Use dump_remainder result only
	on regular files, to prevent (very unlikely) overflow.
	(tail_file): Remove no-longer-needed TAIL_TEST_SLEEP code.

	maint: prefer 'read' to 'safe_read'
	In the old days, safe_read acted more like what full_read does now.
	When that went away, some code that invoked safe_read should
	have gone back to plain 'read' but I guess we never got around to it.
	Simplify this code by going back to plain 'read'.
	Use safe_read only in csplit.c, which has a signal handler
	and where 'read' can therefore fail with EINTR.
	Although safe_read also checks for oversize buffers,
	that is better done via io_blksize.
	* src/cat.c (simple_cat, cat):
	* src/head.c (copy_fd, elide_tail_lines_pipe)
	* src/tac.c (tac_seekable, copy_to_temp):
	(elide_tail_lines_seekable, head_lines):
	* src/tail.c (dump_remainder, file_lines, pipe_lines)
	(pipe_bytes, start_bytes, start_lines, tail_forever_inotify):
	* src/tr.c (plain_read):
	Use plain 'read', not safe_read, since there is no
	need to worry about signals or oversize requests.
	Also, there is no longer a need to include safe-read.h.
	* src/ioblksize.h: Include sys-limits.h, for SYS_BUFSIZE_MAX.
	(io_blksize): Max out at SYS_BUFSIZE_MAX.

	tail: prefer signed types to size_t, blksize_t
	* src/tail.c (struct File_spec, xwrite_stdout, file_lines)
	(pipe_lines, pipe_bytes, start_bytes, any_live_files)
	(tail_forever, any_remote_file, any_non_remote_file)
	(any_symlinks, any_non_regular_fifo, tailable_stdin)
	(tail_forever_inotify, ignore_fifo_and_pipe, main):
	Prefer a signed type to size_t, if possible.
	Ordinarily this is idx_t, but use int when the value
	must fit in int anyway.
	(file_lines): Similarly for blksize_t, which had no business
	being here anyway.
	(main): Check for overflow in the oddball case where ptrdiff_t is
	narrower than int.

	tail: prefer intmax_t to uintmax_t
	Signed types let us debug better, by using -fsanitize=undefined.
	* doc/local.mk (doc/constants.texi):
	Adjust change from macro to enum.
	* src/tail.c (COPY_TO_EOF, COPY_A_BUFFER)
	(DEFAULT_MAX_N_UNCHANGED_STATS_BETWEEN_OPENS):
	Now enum constants, not macros.
	(COPY_TO_EOF, COPY_A_BUFFER): Now negative, not positive.
	(count_t): New typedef.  Use it instead of uintmax_t.
	(COUNT_MAX): New macro; use it instead of UINTMAX_MAX.
	(struct File_spec, max_n_unchanged_stats_between_opens)
	(dump_remainder, file_lines, pipe_lines, pipe_bytes)
	(start_bytes, start_lines, tail_forever, check_fspec)
	(tail_forever_inotify, tail_bytes, tail_lines, tail, tail_file)
	(parse_obsolete_option, parse_options, main):
	Prefer count_t to uintmax_t.

	tail: don’t output more lines than requested
	* src/tail.c (file_lines): Fix an unlikely bug where ‘tail -n N’
	could output more than N lines if standard input is a largish
	regular file with large initial offset that starts with (say) N-1
	lines after the initial offset, but grows to N+1 lines between the
	fstat and read calls.  In this case ‘tail -n N’ now outputs N-1
	lines, not N+1; that is, it pretends the file grew after ‘tail’
	read it.  That is better than outputting more than N lines.

	tail: xlseek switch → table
	* src/tail.c (xlseek): Turn a switch statement into a table.

	tail: prettyname cleanup
	* src/tail.c: Use ‘prettyname’ consistently as the identifier
	for a prettified file name, as opposed to ‘pretty_filename’,
	‘pretty_name’, and ‘name’.  This makes the code easier to follow.
	(struct File_spec): New member prettyname.
	(pretty_name): Remove.
	All uses of pretty_name (f) replaced by f->prettyname.
	(close_fd, fremote): Accept struct File_spec, not name.
	All callers changed.
	(main): Initialize the new prettyname member.
	This is simpler/smaller than calling pretty_name everywhere.

	tail: optimize tail -n +2**63
	* src/tail.c (tail_lines): Also optimize ‘tail -n +N’
	on a seekable file, where OFF_T_MAX <= N < UINTMAX_MAX.
	Of course this is very unlikely.

	tail: refactor SEEK_END and lines
	* src/tail.c (tail_lines): Refactor to simplify the confusing
	code for using SEEK_END when counting lines.  The old code
	had a ‘end_pos != 0’ expression that was always true.

	tail: refactor to skip stat call on failure
	* src/tail.c (tail_bytes): New function.
	(tail_bytes, tail_lines, tail): Accept struct stat pointer from
	caller instead of calling fstat ourselves.  All callers changed.
	(tail_file): Skip a call to fstat if fstat already failed.
	* tests/tail/follow-stdin.sh: Adjust to match new behavior
	on failure, which omits a redundant diagnostic.

	tail: speed up -c N for huge N
	When the user specifies -c N where 2**63 <= N, don’t give
	up and use the slow method (which will exhaust memory if
	the file is large).  Instead, treat it as N = 2**63 - 1,
	since that has equivalent effect.
	* src/tail.c (tail_bytes): With -c N and large N, adjust
	the code so that lseeks can still be used without
	affecting correctness.  Formerly the code gave up and
	did a sequential pass through the whole input, which
	could easily exhaust memory.

	tail: allow >=2**64 in traditional form
	This better matches the treatment of POSIX form,
	e.g., ‘tail +Nc’ is now like ‘tail -c +N’ even when N is large.
	* src/tail.c: Don’t include xstrtol.h.
	(parse_obsolete_option): Treat numbers greater than UINTMAX_MAX as
	if they are UINTMAX_MAX.  Parse the number by hand with saturating
	arithmetic; nowadays that’s simpler than using xstrtoumax.  There
	is no need for a diagnostic now, as the error cannot happen any more.
	* tests/tail/tail.pl (obs-plus-c3): New test.

	tail: check OFF_T_MAX vs COPY_A_BUFFER
	* src/tail.c: Document an otherwise-unstated assumption.

	tail: fix SEEK_END typo
	* src/tail.c (tail_lines): Fix embarrassing SEEK_END typo.
	Luckily this matters only in never-used (though valid) invocations.

	tail: simplify -c+ on regular files
	* src/tail.c (tail_bytes): Simplify the -c+N case by treating
	regular files like other files; if the lseek fails for whatever
	reason, fall back on the unoptimized version instead of reporting
	a fatal error.

	maint: don’t lseek memory objects
	This affects behavior only on memory objects, which are not in Linux.
	Formerly the code would use lseek on these objects,
	but POSIX says the result of lseek is unspecified on them,
	and in QNX lseek has undefined behavior on typed memory objects.
	* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_file, elide_tail_lines_file):
	Omit unnecessary uses of presume_input_pipe.
	Improve some out-of-date comments.
	(head): Do not assume a file is seekable merely because its
	st_size is usable.  Instead, seek only on regular files.
	* src/od.c (skip): Do not seek on memory objects.

	wc: don’t assume opening a file puts you at start
	This is not true on Solaris when opening /dev/stdin; it could be
	at a nonzero file offset.  Arguably Linux should do likewise.
	* src/wc.c (wc): Omit last arg, and act as if it is always -1.
	All uses changed.

	head: simplify head_bytes
	* src/head.c (diagnose_read_failure): New function.
	Use it when possible, to simplify callers.
	(head_bytes): Use copy_fd and diagnose_copy_fd_failure instead of
	reinventing the wheel.

	head: omit unnecessary lseek
	* src/head.c (elseek_diagnostic): New function.
	(elseek): Use it.
	(head_lines): Use it to avoid an unnecessary lseek.

	170141183460469225450570946617781744489, causing k to overflow in
	mp_factor_using_pollard_rho.  Presumably a similar problem exists
	in the previous stable coreutils 9.7, too, on 32-bit platforms
	with somewhat-larger test cases, though I haven’t take the
	somewhat-extensive CPU time to discover it.

	factor: fix mp_factor_using_pollard_rho aliasing
	* src/factor.c (mp_factor_using_pollard_rho):
	Fix recently-introduced aliasing bug by computing q
	before g gets updated in place.  Problem discovered
	on a hypothetical platform where W_TYPE_SIZE
	is neither 32 nor 64.

	maint: fix apostrophe in old NEWS

	factor: speed up converting strings to uuint
	* src/factor.c: Do not include c-ctype.h.
	(strtouuint): Don’t bother generating a number on
	error; just return a strtol_error value other than LONGINT_OK.
	Speed up overflow checking.

	factor: simplify primes table
	* src/factor.c (primes_ptab): New table of primes, replacing
	primes_diff and primes_diff8.  All uses changed.  This is simpler
	and should improve performance slightly.  Although this limits the
	table’s primes to 2**15 instead of to 668221, the limit can easily
	grow to 2**32 by changing the type of ‘prime’, without hurting
	performance significantly compared to the primes_diff and
	primes_diff8 approach.
	* src/make-prime-list.c (output_primes):
	For each prime p, output p instead of two differences.

	factor: prefer false for boolean 0
	* src/factor.c: Prefer false to 0 for booleans.

	maint: port speedgen to FreeBSD 15
	* src/speedgen: Avoid ‘trap 'command' ERR’, as ERR
	does not conform to POSIX and does not work in
	FreeBSD 15 sh.

	factor: speed up Pollard-rho loop counters
	* src/factor.c (factor_using_pollard_rho)
	(factor_using_pollard_rho2, mp_factor_using_pollard_rho):
	Use int, not unsigned long int, for counters that won’t go above
	2**31 on practical platforms.  This yields a significant speedup
	on GCC 15 x86-64, and using signed values allows for automatic
	checks for overflow when using gcc -fsanitize=undefined.

	factor: avoid an mpz init+clear
	* src/factor.c (mp_factor_insert_ui): Rename fom
	mp_factor_insert_ui, and change arg type from unsigned long int to
	mp_limb_t.  All uses changed.  This avoids creating and freeing a
	small mpz_t.
	(mp_factor_using_division): Add a static assert requiring that
	that mp_limb_t be wide enough, which it should be (and is in
	standard GMP).

	factor: Pollard-rho a is now mp_limb_t
	* src/factor.c (factor_using_pollard_rho)
	(factor_using_pollard_rho2): Use mp_limb_t, not unsigned long int,
	for a parameter.  This avoids some casts, and avoids a theoretical
	bug where converting to mp_limb_t loses info.

	factor: redo ge2 in terms of lt2
	lt2 a bit more natural, given the current implementation.
	* src/factor.c (lt2): New function.
	(ge2): Rewrite in terms of lt2.
	(gt2): Remove.  All callers changed to use lt2.

	factor: speed up umul_ppmm when !USE_LONGLONG_H
	* src/factor.c (umul_ppmm): When !USE_LONGLONG_H so we need to
	define this, speed things up if there is an unsigned type uuroom_t
	wide enough to hold two words.  Do not make a similar change for
	udiv_qrnnd, as it is not performance critical and anyway on GCC 15
	x86-64 that would mean a subroutine call.

	factor: streamline gcd2_odd
	* src/factor.c (gcd2_odd): Omit a gt2 and adjusts other
	tests accordingly.  Omit duplicate code that makes A odd.

	factor: faster gcd_odd since 2nd is odd
	* src/factor.c (gcd_odd, gcd2_odd): Speed up, given that the
	second argument is always odd.
	(gcd_odd): Avoid recomputing a temporary.
	(gcd2_odd): Test for zero only if a multiple of B.
	This saves an ‘assume’.

	doc: update ‘factor’ benchmarks

	factor: prefer exact division
	* src/factor.c (mp_factor_using_division, mp_factor_using_pollard_rho):
	Use exact division when it suffices, as it’s typically faster.

	factor: tune submod2
	* src/factor.c (submod2): Use ckd_sub to subtract by hand rather
	than using sub_ddmmss plus a compare.  This speeds things up a
	bit, on x86-64 with GCC 15 anyway.

	factor: DELIM and DIVBLOCK no longer macros
	* src/factor.c (DELIM): Now a constant, not a macro.
	(divblock): Now a static inline function, not a macro DIVBLOCK.
	All uses changed.

	factor: simplify by assuming !PROVE_PRIMALITY
	* src/factor.c (PROVE_PRIMALITY, mp_millerrabin): Remove.
	All uses removed, and surrounding code simplified.

	factor: simplify by assuming USE_BAILLIE_PSW
	* src/factor.c (make_uuint2, powm, powm2, millerrabin)
	(millerrabin2, USE_BAILLIE_PSW): Remove; no longer used.
	(prime_p, prime2_p): Simplify by assuming USE_BAILLIE_PSW.

	factor: prime comments
	* src/factor.c: Add comments re prime functions.

	factor: no ferror+fclose
	* src/make-prime-list.c (main): Avoid parallel calls
	to ferror and fclose.

	factor: define SQUARE_OF_FIRST_OMITTED_PRIME
	* src/make-prime-list.c (output_primes): Output
	SQUARE_OF_FIRST_OMITTED_PRIME, not FIRST_OMITTED_PRIME.  All uses
	changed.  This way, the uses don’t need to worry about casts to
	avoid overflow.

	factor: simplify add_ssaaaa default
	* src/factor.c (add_ssaaaa): Simplify default implementation.

	factor: speed up ge2, gt2
	* src/factor.c (ge2, gt2): Now branchless static functions.

	factor: improve millerrabin2 API
	* src/factor.c (make_uuint2): New function.
	(powm2, millerrabin2): Pass two-word args as uuints,
	not as mp_limb_t const [2] pointers.  All uses changed.
	(prime2_p): Rework to use the new API, fixing a FIXME.

	factor: put FACTORS first
	* src/factor.c (factor_using_division, mp_finish_up_in_single)
	(mp_finish_in_single, factor_using_pollard_rho)
	(factor_using_pollard_rho2, factor_up, factor):
	Put FACTORS arg first, for consistency.
	This is just a refactoring and should not affect speed.

	factor: use 1-word code only when tested
	* src/factor.c (print_factors): Use single-precision code only
	when word size is 32 or 64, as it isn't tested for other sizes and
	is known to not work when it the size is 128.  This change does
	not affect any known practical platforms.

	factor: decrement Miller-Rabin tests from 25 to 24
	This avoids some seemingly-unnecessary code in mpz_probab_prime_p.
	* src/factor.c (MR_REPS): Shrink from 25 to 24, and add commentary.

	factor: don’t prove primality
	Suggested for consideration by Torbjörn Granlund in:
	https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2025-01/msg00000.html
	* src/factor.c (PROVE_PRIMALITY): Now defaults to false.
	(mp_prime_p): Help the compiler by telling it mpz_prob_prime_p
	returns nonnegative.
	* tests/factor/create-test.sh (bigprime): Test 2^400 - 593,
	since that’s now practical.
	* tests/local.mk (factor_tests): Add new test.

	factor: add comments to factor.c

	factor: always use Baillie-PSW
	* src/factor.c (USE_BAILLIE_PSW): New constant.
	(prime_p, prime2_p): Use it, i.e., always use Baillie-PSW.
	Do so by using mp_prime_p.  Do not tell GCC these functions
	are pure; the pure mark was present only to pacify GCC
	and is no longer needed now that thes functions call mp_prime_p.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	factor: use mpz_probab_prime_p
	Inspired by a proposal by Torbjörn Granlund in:
	https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2025-01/msg00000.html
	* src/factor.c (mp_prime_p): Use mpz_probab_prime_p rather than doing
	it by hand, as mpz_probab_prime_p uses Baillie-PSW which is a win.
	This removes the need for the ret2 label and goto.

	factor: don’t give up before last prime in table
	* src/factor.c (prime_p, prime2_p, mp_prime_p): Do not skip the
	flag_prove_primality test for the last prime in the table, i.e.,
	when r == PRIMES_PTAB_ENTRIES - 1.
	(mp_prime_p): There is no longer a need for the ret1 label or goto.

	factor: move prime_p local in
	* src/factor.c (mp_prime_p): Refactor by moving local further in.

	factor: port back to mini-gmp
	mini-gmp lacs mpn_tdiv_qr, so supply an emulation of it
	when using mini-gmp.
	* src/factor.c (copy_mpn_from_mpz, mpn_tdiv_qr) [!mpn_tdiv_qr]:
	New functions.

	factor: speed up multiprecision Pollard’s rho
	These changes are taken from a proposal by Torbjörn Granlund in:
	https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2025-01/msg00000.html
	On my x86-64 platform, they improve speed by more than 8× when
	factoring 340282366920938463463374607431768211457.
	* src/factor.c (mp_modadd, mp_modsub, mp_modadd_1, mp_mulredc):
	New functions.
	(MP_FACTOR_USING_POLLARD_RHO_N_MAX): New macro.
	(mp_factor_using_pollard_rho): Act on mpn not mpz, and on
	mp_limb_t not unsigned long int.  Reorder args.  All uses changed.

	factor: use function for binv
	* src/factor.c (binv_limb): New function, replacing the old
	binv macro.  All uses changed.

	factor: use a more functional style
	This is mostly to make the code a bit easier to read.
	It shrinks the size of factor.o by 0.7% on my x86-64 platform
	though it doesn’t affect CPU performance significantly.
	* src/factor.c (mp_no_factors): Rename from mp_factor_init.
	(mp_no_factors, mp_factor_using_division, mp_factor):
	Return struct mp_factors rather than modifying one passed by reference.
	All uses changed.

	factor: use single vector in struct mp_factors
	* src/factor.c (struct mp_factor): New type.
	(struct mp_factors): Use it to replace P and E with F.
	All uses changed.

	factor: omit unnecessary divisions by small primes
	* src/factor.c (mp_factor_using_division):
	When continuing in single precision, don’t divide by primes that
	were already cast out in multiple precision.
	On my platform this gave a 2.5% speedup when factoring
	2**128 + 172261 = 4999 * 68070087401668026297934508388031283,
	as W_TYPE_SIZE == 64 and 4999 is the last prime in the primes table.

	factor: use primes_diff more consistently
	* src/factor.c (mp_factor_using_division): Use index into
	primes_diff consistently with other uses.  This is mostly just a
	style change, and likely doesn’t change the generated machine code.

	factor: refactor to for later performance speedup
	This does not affect performance much, but it should allow future
	performance improvements.
	* src/factor.c (factor_using_division): Two new args I and P,
	which generalize this function.  All uses changed.
	(mp_finish_up_in_single, factor_up): New functions, like the
	non-*_up* versions but with two new args PRIME_IDX and PRIME.
	They mostly just have the old body of the old non-*_up_ versions.
	(mp_finish_in_single, factor): Rewrite in terms of the new functions.

	factor: switch from mp to single when doable
	This significantly improves performance when a number exceeds
	2**(W_TYPE_SIZE - 1) and is the product of a prime less than
	FIRST_OMITTED_PRIME and another prime less than 2**(W_TYPE_SIZE - 1).
	On my platform, for example, it doubled the speed of factoring
	4999 * (2**128 - 159).
	* src/factor.c (mp_size, mp_finish_in_single): New functions.
	(mp_factor_using_division, mp_factor_using_pollard_rho):
	Finish using single precision when possible.
	* tests/factor/factor.pl (lt-5000-times-128-bit): New test.

	factor: primes_diff idx type consistency
	* src/factor.c (factor_insert_refind):
	Use idx_t for indexes into primes_diff,
	for consistency with other indexes into primes_diff.
	This has no practical effect unless the primes_diff
	table becomes unreasonably large.

	factor: omit q from mp_factor_using_division
	* src/factor.c (mp_factor_using_division): Remove unused local.

	factor: mp insert multiplicity too
	Support a multiplicity argument in the mp case, too.
	This helps keeps the two cases in sync, for maintenance.
	* src/factor.c (mp_factor_insert, mp_factor_insert_ui):
	New arg M, for multiplicity.  All callers changed.

	factor: prefer non-macros
	Use something other than a macro when that is easy and won’t hurt
	performance.
	* src/factor.c (__ll_B, __ll_lowpart, _ll_highpart) [!USE_LONGLONG_H]:
	(MAX_NFACTS, highbit_to_mask, factor_insert, PRIMES_PTAB_ENTRIES):
	Make these enums, or constants, or static functions instead of macros.
	(highbit_to_mask): Rename from HIGHBIT_TO_MASK.  All uses changed.

	factor: let builder specify MR_REPS
	* src/factor.c (MR_REPS): Let the builder specify it
	with -DMR_REPS=whatever.

	factor: add comments

	factor: factor insertion simplifications
	* src/factor.c (factor_insert_multiplicity):
	Adjust to keep in sync with mp_factor_insert changes below,
	by adding 1 to the index and using memmove to move.
	(mp_factor_insert): Omit redundant call to mpz_cmp.
	Prefer idx_t (always nonnegative) to ptrdiff_t,
	by adding 1 to the indexes.
	Prefer mpz_init_set to mpz_init+mpz_set.
	Use memmove to move, rather than doing it by hand.

	factor: check unsigned char counts
	* src/factor.c (MAX_NFACTS): Allow word size of 128 bits,
	even if this is only theoretical now.
	Check that struct factors’s unsigned char counts won’t overflow.

	factor: fix comment

	factor: paren cleanup
	* src/factor.c (umul_ppmm, udiv_qrnnd, addmod, addmod2, submod2)
	(binv, divexact_21, redcify2, div_smallq): Omit unnecessary parens.

	factor: simplify longlong.h setup
	* src/factor.c (USE_LONGLONG_H):
	Default to false on unusual (but standard-conforming)
	platforms that lack int64_t etc.
	(UWtype, UHWtype): Now typedefs, not macros.
	(UQItype): Remove.
	(SItype, USItype, DItype, UDItype): Use standard C types.

	factor: prefer uuint to two words in a couple of places
	This simplifies things slightly by using uuint for
	some two-word integers.
	* src/factor.c (strtouuint): Accept uuint *, not two mp_limb_t *.
	All callers changed.
	(print_factors_single): Accept uuint, not two limbs.
	All callers changed.
	(print_factors): Use simpler test for high bit,
	one that need not worry about promoting to int.

	factor: FALLTHROUGH instead of break
	* src/factor.c (print_factors): Use FALLTHROUGH
	to make it clear that the "Use GMP" comment also applies here.

	factor: remove wide_uuint
	Simplify by using GMP’s word type instead of pretending to roll our own.
	* src/factor.c (wide_uuint): Remove.  All uses replaced by mp_limb_t.
	(umul_ppmm) [!umul_ppmm]: Don’t assume unsigned long is at least half
	as wide as mp_limb_t.  This simpler anyway.
	(strtouuint): Rename from strto2wide_uint.  All uses changed.

	factor: use same word size as GMP
	Remove experimental code for 128-bit words as it does not work and
	we lack time to figure out why.  Instead, ensure that words are
	the same size as with GMP.
	* src/factor.c (USE_INT128): Remove.  All uses removed.
	(wide_uint, W_TYPE_SIZE): Define to be the same as GMP.
	(MP_LIMB_MAX): New macro.  Check that it matches W_TYPE_SIZE.
	(USE_LONGLONG_H): Default to true.
	(UHWtype) [USE_LONGLONG_H]: Define to unsigned int, same as GMP.
	(prime_p): Go back to not worrying about 128-bit words,
	since GMP doesn’t worry and doesn’t use them.
	(lbuf_putbitcnt): New function, since we cannot assume
	that bitcnt_t fits into mp_limb_t.
	(print_factors): Use it.
	* src/make-prime-list.c (output_primes):
	Don’t assume that wide_uint’s maximum is UINTMAX_MAX.

	factor: unsigned long → mp_bitcnt_t
	* src/factor.c (struct mp_factors): e (multiplicity) member
	is now of type mp_bitcnt_t, not unsigned long int, since
	its value is at most a bit count.  All uses changed.

	factor: fix test case name
	* tests/factor/factor.pl (bug-gmp-plus_2_sup_127_plus_1):
	Rename from bug-gmp-plus_2_sup_128_plus_1, so that
	it accurately reflects the test case.

	factor: generalize BIG_POWER_OF_10
	* src/factor.c (BIG_POWER_OF_10, LOG_BIG_POWER_OF_10):
	Place fewer restrictions on BIG_POWER_OF_10.
	This is only for currently-theoretical hosts;
	it shouldn’t affect machine code on practical platforms.

	factor: remove wide_int
	* src/factor.c (wide_int): Remove, since it gets in the
	way of using mp_limb_t for words.  All uses removed.
	(submod2, HIGHBIT_TO_MASK, divexact_21):
	Rewrite without using wide_int.
	This shouldn't change the machine code these days,
	as compilers are pretty smart about isolating the
	top bit of an unsigned int.

	factor: add platform sanity check
	* src/factor.c: Check against theoretical platform.

	factor: squfof cleanup
	* src/factor.c (USE_SQUFOF, STAT_SQUFOF):
	Assume these are always false, and simplify the code accordingly.
	We can bring it back later if needed be.

	factor: don’t used uninitialized uu[0]
	In practice there’s no bug but we might as well avoid the
	undefined behavior.
	* src/factor.c (hi_is_set): New static function.
	(factor_insert_large, prime2_p, print_factors_single): Use it.

	* src/od.c (address_base, address_pad_len, format_address):
	Initialize statically rather than dynamically.
	(limit_bytes_to_format): Remove.  All uses replaced by
	checking sign of end_offset.
	(max_bytes_to_format): Remove static var.  Now local to ‘main’.
	(end_offset): -1 now means no limit.  All uses changed.

	od: minor lcm tuning
	* src/od.c (dump, main): Redo lcm calcuations to avoid a multiply.

	od: omit some duplicate code
	On x86-64 (for example) print_long, print_long_long, and
	print_intmax all behave identically, so give GCC enough info so
	that it generates code for just one of these functions.
	* src/od.c (enum size_spec): Arrange for enum values to
	be the same if they represent types that behave the same.
	(width_bytes, ISPEC_TO_FORMAT, decode_one_format):
	Match the enum size_spec changes.

	od: replace lookup tables with simple arithmetic
	* src/od.c (FMT_BYTES_ALLOCATED): Use a simpler formula.
	Although slightly too generous, the storage wasted is very small
	and it pacifies gcc -Wformat-overflow=2.
	(bytes_to_oct_digits, bytes_to_signed_dec_digits)
	(bytes_to_unsigned_dec_digits, bytes_to_hex_digoits): Remove.
	All uses replaced by algorithmic calculations, which are good
	enough: they are valid for integers up to 2620 bits (!) and might
	be slightly conservative for wider integers.  Remove related
	static_asserts, which are no longer needed.

	od: support uintmax_t too
	This has practical effect only on hypothetical platforms where
	uintmax_t is wider than unsigned long long int.
	* src/od.c (enum size_spec): New constant INTMAX.
	(MAX_INTEGRAL_TYPE_WIDTH): Now equals UINTMAX_WIDTH.
	(FMT_BYTES_ALLOCATED): Allow for the extra "l" in "%lld".
	Also, fix off-by-two error in size calculation.
	(width_bytes, integral_type_size): Add entries for uintmax_t.
	(print_intmax): New function.
	(decode_one_function): Use it.
	(ISPEC_TO_FORMAT): New arg Max_fmt. All uses changed.

	od: initialize type-size tables statically
	* src/od.c (NO_SIZE): Make it explicitly 0, as the
	initializers now rely on this.
	(MAX_INTEGRAL_TYPE_SIZE): Remove.  All uses replaced by
	ARRAY_CARDINALITY (integral_type_size) - 1.
	Move static assertion down to where this can be used.
	(integral_type_size, fp_type_size): Make them const,
	and initialize them statically.
	(main): Omit no-longer-needed initialization code.

	od: prefer intmax_t to uintmax_t
	* src/od.c (MAX_ADDRESS_LENGTH, pseudo_offset, n_bytes_to_skip)
	(max_bytes_to_format, end_offset, skip, format_address_none)
	(format_address_std, format_address_paren, format_address_label)
	(write_block, parse_old_offset, dump, dump_strings, main):
	Prefer intmax_t to uintmax_t.  This makes no practical difference,
	and lets -fsanitize=undefined check for signed integer overflow.
	(skip, dump): Remove no-longer-needed casts.
	(xstr2nonneg): New static function.  All callers of xstrtoumax
	now call this function instead.
	(main): Use ckd_add to detect signed integer overflow, since
	the unsigned trick no longer works reliably.
	Let xstrtol_fatal report the overflow, instead of doing
	it by hand ourselves.

	od: fix '+N.' bug
	* src/od.c (parse_old_offset): First arg is now char *,
	not char const *.  If a decimal number, temporarily
	modify the string so that xstrtoumax does not complain
	about the '.'.
	* tests/od/od.pl: Test for the bug.

	od: fix some unlikely integer overflows
	* src/od.c (print_n_spaces, pad_at, pad_at_overflow):
	New static functions.
	(struct tspec, PRINT_FIELDS, print_named_ascii, print_ascii)
	(decode_one_format, write_block, main):
	Use idx_t, not int, for counts that depend on the number
	of bytes in an object.
	(decode_one_format): Use print_n_spaces to output spaces.
	(PRINT_FIELDS, print_named_ascii, print_ascii):
	Use pad_at to avoid integer overflow.
	(write_block): Do not use %*s to pad, as the total pad might
	exceed INT_MAX.  Instead, pad by hand with putchar (' ').
	(main): Use pad_at_overflow to report integer overflow due to
	oversize -w.  Use better way to tell whether -w is used,
	without needing IF_LINT.
	* tests/od/big-w.sh: New test.
	* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it.

	od: prefer idx_t to size_t
	This helps find overflow bugs when compiling with -fsanitize=undefined.
	* src/od.c (struct tspec, bytes_per_block, PRINT_FIELDS)
	(PRINT_TYPE, print_named_ascii, print_ascii, decode_one_format)
	(skip, write_block, read_block, dump, main):
	Use idx_t, not size_t.

	od: don’t assume no holes in wide unsigned
	Also, fix minor related typos.
	* src/od.c (MAX_INTEGRAL_TYPE_SIZE, MAX_ADDRESS_LENGTH):
	Now a constant, not a macro.
	(MAX_INTEGRAL_TYPE_WIDTH): New constant.  Use it instead of
	CHAR_BIT, so as not to assume that uintmax_t and unsigned long
	long int are hole-free.  This doesn’t matter on practical porting
	targets, though there is still a mainframe or two that have holes.
	(FMT_BYTES_ALLOCATED): Fix typo by changing "jd" to "jo".
	Fix off-by-one typo in static assertion.

	maint: assume long long int
	It’s long been safe to assume C99+ support for long long int.
	* .gitignore: Remove m4/longlong.m4.
	* bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Boost git prereq from 1.4.4 to 1.5.5,
	syncing with Gnulib.
	(bootstrap_post_import_hook): Remove m4/longlong.m4.
	* m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES):
	No need to require AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
	* src/factor.c (DItype, UDItype):
	* src/od.c (main):
	Assume HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT.
	* src/od.c: (unsigned_long_long_int):
	Remove.  All uses replaced with unsigned long long int.

	od: fix another off-by-one issue with --strings
	* src/od.c (main): Fix off-by-one error in string_min limit.

	od: fix theoretical size_t malloc overflow
	* src/od.c (dump, dump_strings): Use idx_t allocators
	rather than size_t allocators, to avoid unchecked integer
	overflow on theoretical platforms where SIZE_MAX < IDX_MAX.

	od: fix various off-by-one issues with --strings with -N
	* src/od.c (dump_strings): There are three related issues here
	due to not accounting for the terminating NUL char appropriately.

	1. Ensure BUF always has enough space for the terminating NUL.
	This avoids CWE-122: Heap-based Buffer Overflow,
	where we wrote a single NUL byte directly after the allocated buffer.
	I.e., there should be no buffer overflow with:
	  printf '%100s' | od -N100 -S1

	2. Ensure we support -S == -N (END_OFFSET - STRING_MIN == ADDRESS):
	I.e., there should be output with:
	  printf '%100s' | od -N10 -S10

	3. Ensure we always output a valid address by ensuring
	the ADDRESS and I variables are kept in sync.
	I.e., this should output address 0000000 not 1777777777777777777777:
	  printf '%100s' | od -N10 -S1

	As well as fixing these we simplify by using a single loop
	to read the data, rather than two.

	* doc/coreutils.texi (od invocation): Clarify that -N
	implicitly NUL terminates strings.
	* tests/od/od-N.sh: Add test cases.

	stty: support baud rate macro extraction on more compilers
	For generating src/speedtest.h, try a sequence of command-line options
	until (or unless) one of them works:

	  -dM: gcc, clang and derived compilers, icc classic
	  -xdumpmacros: Sun Studio (writes to stderr!)
	  -qshowmacros: IBM XL classic
	  -PD: MSVC (usable with a wrapper such as cccl from the SWIG project)

	Because Sun Studio -xdumpmacros unconditionally writes to stderr,
	capture stderr output instead of sending it to /dev/null. This is
	perfectly safe, even in the presence of stray stderr output, because:

	  1. speedgen ignores input that is not of the form #define B<number>
	  2. even if a line of that format would somehow spuriously appear,
	     the only outcome is that the generated C code will probe for a few
	     more macros.

	stty: arbitrary or non-a priori known speed_t support
	Support the case where speed_t is simply a number, and in that case
	assume that arbitrary values can be passed.  This is assumed to be the
	case when all known speed_t macros equal their own value.

	Try to probe for a variety of speed_t constants by trying to coax
	$(CC) into emitting macro definitions (-E -dM).  If this is not
	supported, use a fairly extensive list of constants as a
	fallback.  This both improves the test for arbitrary speed support, as
	well as allowing proper operation in the case where the constants are
	not plain numbers and allows for handing enumerated speed constants
	that were not known a priori when the source code was written.

	A simple shell script (mostly using sed) is used to turn the list of
	constants (probed and predefined) into a pair of conversion functions,
	baud_to_value() and value_to_baud(); string_to_baud() is then
	reimplemented as a wrapper around the latter.

	tests: head: avoid false failure on some systems
	* tests/head/head-c.sh: Pass a more similar operation
	to get_min_ulimit_v_, so we get a more appropriate limit.
	This was seen to be significant with CheriBSD.

	yes: avoid failure on CHERI protected systems
	* src/yes.c (main): Don't reuse the argv array as CHERI's
	capability bounds do not allow for that, failing like:

	tests: avoid ERRORs with no mntent.h
	* tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Just skip this test if we fail
	to build the shared lib.  This fails on Solaris 11 at least

	* tests/printf/printf-surprise.sh: Increase the VM limit
	to avoid false failures in rare cases.

	tests: avoid slow ulimit -v behavior
	* init.cfg (ulimit_supported_): skip_ if the ulimit -v
	takes too long, which was seen with bash 5.2 on Solaris 11,
	where fork() returned EAGAIN under memory constraints,
	and bash retried for about 16 seconds.
	(get_min_ulimit_v_): Break early if skipped.
	* tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Be more conservative and
	skip on failure to determine min ulimit.

	tests: use more portable timeout presence check
	* init.cfg: timeout(1) on FreeBSD doesn't support --version
	(or --help with success status), so use syntax compatible
	with both FreeBSD and GNU.

	tests: tail: avoid failure on Solaris 11
	* tests/tail/tail-c.sh: On Solaris 11, tail -c 4096 /dev/urandom,
	will induce an lseek(,-4096,SEEK_END) which returns -4096 without
	setting errno, and a subsequent read() then gives EINVAL.
	Since tailing the end of a psuedo device is an edge case,
	we just verify that we don't spin reading the device forever.

	(vmull_supported): Return this new type instead of bool.
	All callers changed.  That way, callers do not need to
	refer to functions like cksum_avx512 that might not
	exist on this platform.  Although GCC optimizes such

	* gnulib: Pick up gnulib commit f11caad4fd which ensures

	when in single binary mode.  This adjustment is required
	since gnulib commit 959152ba37 which enforced use of gnulib's
	error() once verror is used, and gnulib's error() always
	outputs the base name of the command, which the new gnulib
	commit now keeps up to date.

	tests: make misc/write-errors.sh immune to default signal disposition
	* tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Reset SIGPIPE to the default (terminate)

	cp,mv: ensure -i,f are not overridden by -u
	Since coreutils 9.3 we had --update={all,older} override -i.
	In coreutils 9.5 this was expanded to -u
	(to make it consistent with --update=older).

	This patch reinstates things so that -i combines with -u instead.
	I.e. have -i be protective, rather than selective (like -u).

	The -f option of mv is similarly adjusted in this patch,
	so now --update does not override any of -f,-i,-n.

	* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
	* src/cp.c (main): Don't have -u disable prompting.

	tail: ensure --follow=name unfollows renamed files
	Require --retry to continue to track files upon rename.
	We already unfollowed a file if it was renamed
	to another file system (unlinked), so this makes the behavior
	consistent if renaming to a file in the same file system.
	I.e. --follow=name without --retry, means unfollow if the
	name is unlinked or moved, so this change ensures that
	behavior for all rename cases.

	printf: do n$ overflow checking by hand
	* src/printf.c (get_curr_arg): Mark as pure to pacify GCC 14.
	Do overflow checking by hand rather than relying on strspn
	and strtoimax.

	printf: refactor macros to function
	* src/printf.c (struct arg_cursor): New struct.
	(get_curr_arg): New function.
	(print_formatted): Use it instead of ...
	(GET_CURR_ARG, SET_CURR_ARG): ... these removed macros.
	This makes the code a bit easier to follow, and any efficiency
	cost should be minimal.

	seq: seq_fast always exits now
	* src/seq.c (seq_fast): Always exit.  Don’t bother freeing
	just before exit.

	seq: simplify output buffer management
	* src/seq.c (seq_fast): Simplify by using an output buffer of
	known size (BUFSIZ) on the stack, rather than a heap buffer that
	might grow.  For the number buffer, don’t bother appending NUL

	df: simplify via xasprintf
	* src/df.c: Include xvasprintf.h.
	(get_header, get_dev): Simplify by using xasprintf and xstrdup
	rather than doing the error checking ourselves.

	Found when testing on a new platform with a new file system.
	* src/ls.c (file_has_aclinfo_cache): For failures, also cache
	return value, scontext, and scontext_err, and when using cached
	values make sure buf and size have reasonable values for
	aclinfo_free etc.

	ls: use Gnulib’s unsupported errno list
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add acl-permissions, which

2024-10-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	ls: tune usage of getxattr/stat syscalls
	Update gnulib submodule to latest.  This changes the file_has_aclinfo
	API, so at the same time do the following changes to ls.c, which
	adjusts to these changes among other things.
	* src/ls.c (filetype_d_type, d_type_filetype): New static constants.
	(format_needs_capability): New static var.
	(main): Set and use it.  Don’t set format_needs_stat merely
	because print_scontext, as we needn’t call stat to get the
	scontext.  Instead, set format_needs_type if print_scontext but
	not format_needs_stat.
	(print_dir): Use new static tables to determine filetype
	more efficiently.
	(file_has_aclinfo_cache): Adjust to Gnulib file_has_aclinfo API change.
	(gobble_file): Check stat if format_needs_type but the type is
	unknown.  Be conservative, and when deciding whether to check stat
	but the type is unknown, assume it might be directory.  Similarly
	for normal files when classifying; if the type is unknown assume
	it might be normal.  Use new static constants and IFTODT to
	compute filetype more straightforwardly.  Get ACLs and check for
	capability less often.
	(get_color_indicator): Omit unnecessary call to is_colored (C_CAP),
	since f->has_capability can be true only if is_colored (C_CAP).

	ls: omit cast from gobble_file
	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Minor refactoring.  Last arg is now null
	pointer, not "", for no directory.  All callers changed.
	Avoid need for cast from char const * to char *.

	ls: check FILETYPE_INDICATORS cardinality
	* src/ls.c (filetype_cardinality): New constant.
	(filetype_letter): Omit unnecessary trailing NUL.
	(FILETYPE_INDICATORS): Remove, moving definiens to ...
	(get_color_indicator): ... here, and check its cardinality too.

	ls: tune indicator_name
	* src/ls.c (indicator_name): Simplify type; it is now merely
	a 2-dimensional array of char.  All uses changed.

	ls: omit some unnecessary NULs
	* src/ls.c (BIN_STR): New macro, replacing LEN_STR_PAIR.
	All uses changed.  This avoids the need to store the
	trailing \0 in each string.  This change is more for clarity,
	to make it clear the \0 is not needed.

	ls: tune is_colored
	* src/ls.c (is_colored): Tune.
	This shrinks the machine code considerably on x86-64.

	ls: omit unnecessary test
	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Omit redundant test of variable that
	must be false here.

2024-10-02  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	ls: reinstate capability checking in more cases
	The recent commit v9.5-119-g4ce432ad8 restricted capability checking
	to only files with XATTR_NAME_CAPS set.  If this is done then we need
	to adjust tests/ls/no-cap.sh so that it doesn't always skip.  More
	problematically XATTR_NAME_CAPS was only determined in long listing
	mode, thus breaking capability coloring in short listing mode
	as evidenced by the failing tests/ls/capability.sh test.

	Note capability checking does have a large overhead, but we've
	disabled capability checking by default anyway through the default
	color configuration since v9.0-187-g6b5134770

	So for these reasons revert to checking capabilities as before.

	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Check for capabilities in all modes
	if enabled in color config.

	Note rpl_fopen() is used as of glibc-2.39 at least

2024-09-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	ls: use fewer xattr-related syscalls
	* src/ls.c: Do not include <selinux/selinux.h> or "smack.h".
	Include <linux/attr.h> if HAVE_LINUX_ATTR_H, for XATTR_NAME_CAPS.
	(free_ent): Use aclinfo_scontext_free to free f->scontext.
	(getfilecon_cache): Remove; no longer needed.
	(file_has_aclinfo_cache): Rename from file_has_acl_cache,
	and use file_has_aclinfo instead of file_has_acl.  All uses changed.
	(gobble_file): Use file_has_aclinfo instead of file_has_acl, so
	that we get more info about the file before deciding whether to
	issue further syscalls for it.  Let file_has_aclinfo worry about
	smack and SELinux.  Call has_capability only if the xattr list

2024-09-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	factor: eliminate print_uuint recursion
	* src/factor.c (lbuf_putint_append): New function, with
	most of the old lbuf_putint body.  Do the umaxtostr stuff
	by hand so that we needn’t worry about the trailing NUL.a
	Do the string copy by hand since the string is so short.
	(lbuf_putint): Reimplement in terms of lbuf_putint_append.
	Omit last arg, which is no longer needed.  All callers changed.
	(print_uuint): Rewrite to avoid recursion, using
	lbuf_putint_append for the usual case.

	factor: lessen print_uuint recursion
	* src/factor.c (BIG_POWER_OF_10, LOG_BIG_POWER_OF_10):
	New constants.
	(print_uuint): Use them to lessen recursion depth.

	factor: print_uuint accepts uuint
	* src/factor.c (print_uuint): Rename from print_uintmaxes
	and accept a uuint rather than two uintmax_t values.
	Alll uses changed.

	factor: simplify table count
	* src/factor.c (PRIMES_PTAB_ENTRIES): Simplify.

	factor: macro refactoring
	* src/factor.c (W_TYPE_SIZE): Simplify by always defining
	to UINTMAX_WIDTH.
	(W): Remove.  All uses replaced by W_TYPE_SIZE.
	We no longer need one of its static_asserts.

	factor: improve gmp-related buffering
	Previously, the code used stdio buffers for gmp numbers,
	and did its own buffering for smaller numbers.  This meant
	for more flushing than was needed.  The code now uses its
	own buffering for all standard output, which makes for
	less flushing and fewer writes.
	* src/factor.c (lbuf_half_flush): New function, taken from the
	body of lbuf_putnl.
	(lbuf_putnl): Use it.
	(lbuf_putmpz): New function, to output an mpz without using stdio.
	(print_factors): Output via functions instead of via stdio.

	factor: buffer stdout like other progs do
	* src/factor.c (lbuf_putnl): Don’t worry about whether
	stdin is a tty when deciding whether to buffer stdout.

	factor: improve fd buffering
	* src/factor.c (struct lbuf_, lbuf, lbuf_alloc): Remove.
	All uses removed.
	(FACTOR_PIPE_BUF): Now a constant instead of a macro.
	Increase to PIPE_BUF if available.
	(lbuf_buf, lbuffered): New static vars, replacing lbuf.
	All uses changed.
	(lbuf_flush): Avoid unlikely recursion on write failure.
	(lbuf_putc): Now simply adds a byte to the buffer.
	(lbuf_putnl): Do the work of the old lbuf_putc ('\n').
	Use changed.  Use memrchr to find the newline.
	(lbuf_putint): Widths are now int, not size_t.

	factor: powm2 returns uuint
	* src/factor.c (powm2): Return uuint rather than half via
	pointer. All callers changed.

	factor: factor_using_division returns uuint
	* src/factor.c (factor_using_division): Return uuint rather than
	half via pointer. All callers changed.

	factor: gcd2_odd returns uuint
	* src/factor.c (gcd2_odd): Return uuint rather than half via pointer.
	All callers changed.

	factor: mod2 now returns uuint
	* src/factor.c (uuset): New function.
	(mod2): Return uuint rather than having half the returned value
	stored via a pointer.  This makes the code a bit easier to read
	and can help the compiler avoid aliasing issues.  All callers changed.

	factor: new type uuint
	This refactors to add a new type, a uintmax_t pair, which
	can simplify some code without slowing it down.
	* src/factor.c (uuint): New type.
	(lo, hi, hiset, make_uuint): New functions.
	(struct factors.plarge): Use the new type.  All uses changed.

	factor: tweak prime_p zero counting
	* src/factor.c (prime_p): Use stdc_trailing_zero here too.
	This doesn’t make much of a performance difference but
	we might as well be consistent.

	factor: tweak gcd2_odd performance
	* src/factor.c (gcd2_odd): Use stdc_trailing_zeros here too.

	factor: tweak gcd_odd performance
	* src/factor.c (gcd_odd): Use stdc_trailing_zeros instead of
	counting zeros by hand.

	factor: switch to stdc_leading_zeros etc
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stdc_trailing_zeros.
	* cfg.mk (_gl_TS_unmarked_extern_vars): Remove factor_clz_tab,
	as it’s no longer present.
	* src/factor.c: Include stdbit.h.
	(__clz_tab, factor_clz_tab): Remove.
	(ASSERT, UHWtype, __GMP_DECLSPEC): Use simpler way to pacify
	-Wunused-macros.
	(count_leading_zeros, count_trailing_zeros):
	Remove.  All uses replaced by stdc_leading_zeros, stdc_trailing_zeros.
	(factor_using_division, prime2_p): Add a couple of ‘assume’s
	so that GCC knows the stdc_* calls are nonzero and can
	optimize accordingly.

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

	Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/72657

2024-08-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	maint: adjust to Gnulib safe_read etc. changes
	Although these patches don’t affect user-visible behavior,
	they do clean up the source code a bit, and the
	machine code should be a tiny bit more efficient.
	* src/cat.c (simple_cat, cat):
	* src/csplit.c (read_input):
	* src/head.c (copy_fd, elide_tail_bytes_pipe)
	(elide_tail_lines_pipe, elide_tail_lines_seekable, head_bytes)
	(head_lines):
	* src/install.c (have_same_content):
	* src/tac-pipe.c (buf_init_from_stdin):
	* src/tac.c (tac_seekable, copy_to_temp):
	* src/tail.c (dump_remainder, file_lines, pipe_lines)
	(pipe_bytes, start_bytes, start_lines, tail_forever_inotify):
	* src/tr.c (plain_read):
	Adjust to recent Gnulib changes by using new types
	for safe_read, safe_write, full_read, full_write.

	maint: list Gnulib sys_types directly
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_types.
	Although it’s already brought in indirectly, coreutils
	code includes <sys/types.h> directly.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	head: fix overflows in elide_tail_bytes_pipe
	Not clear that the overflows could be exploited,
	but they made the code confusing.
	* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_pipe): Don’t convert uintmax_t
	to size_t first thing; wait until it’s known the value will fit,
	and then use idx_t rather than size_t to prefer signed types.
	Prefer idx_t in nearby code, too.
	Rename locals n_elide_0 to n_elide (for consistency elsewhere)
	and n_elide to in_elide.
	Remove bogus (SIZE_MAX < n_elide + READ_BUFSIZE) test;
	in the typical case where n_elide’s type was the same as
	that of SIZE_MAX, the test never succeeded, and in the
	less-common case where n_elide was wider than size_t,
	the addition could silently overflow, causing the test
	to fail when it should succeed.  The test is not needed anyway now.
	Add static asserts to document code assumptions.
	Redo the ! (n_elide <= HEAD_TAIL_PIPE_BYTECOUNT_THRESHOLD) case
	so that it works with enormous values of n_elide even on
	32-bit platforms; for example, n_bufs is now uintmax_t not size_t.
	Simplify by using xpalloc instead of by-hand code.
	Remove bogus ‘if (rem)’ test, as rem is always nonzero.

	head: new test for big count
	* tests/head/head-c.sh: Also test head -c with a number
	much bigger than UINTMAX_MAX.

	tail: support counts > 2**64
	* src/tail.c (tail_lines): If skipping all input, use lseek if
	possible.
	(parse_options): Allow counts to exceed 2**64.
	(main): Don’t subtract 1 from UINTMAX_MAX, since it stands
	for infinity in this context.
	(main): Also don’t read anything when given infinite elisions.
	* tests/tail/tail.pl: Adjust to match new behavior.  Rename err-5
	test to big-c and expect the invocation to succeed, since ‘tail
	-c99999999999999999999’ now succeeds instead of (unnecessarily)
	failing.

	head: off_t not uintmax_t for file offset
	* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe):
	Use off_t, not uintmax_t, for a local var that is
	a file offset.

	nproc: support --ignore counts > 2**64
	* src/nproc.c (main): Allow --ignore arg to exceed 2**64.

	nl: support -l counts > 2**64
	* src/nl.c (main): Allow -l arg to exceed 2**64.

	head: support counts > 2**64
	* src/head.c (head): Optimize for -n-HUGE, where HUGE exceeds
	2**64 - 2.
	(string_to_integer): Return UINTMAX_MAX for too-large numbers,
	instead of failing.
	(main): Omit no-lnger-necessary test for byte count overflow.

	digest: improve -l overflow diagnostic
	* src/digest.c (main): Use better diagnostic for -l overflow,
	by using XTOINT_MAX_QUIET to suppress the worse diagnostic.

	maint: distinguish EOVERFLOW vs ERANGE better
	Also, prepare for allowing some arguments to overflow
	without that being an error.
	* gl/lib/xdectoint.c: Do not include stddef.h,
	since we no longer use ‘unreachable’.
	(xnumtoimax, xnumtoumax, __xnumtoint):
	New arg FLAGS.  All callers changed.
	Stop using __xdectoint_signed.  All definers removed.
	* gl/lib/xdectoint.h (XTOINT_MIN_QUIET, XTOINT_MAX_QUIET)
	(XTOINT_MIN_RANGE, XTOINT_MAX_RANGE): New flag constants.
	* src/fmt.c (main):
	* src/fold.c (main):
	* src/nl.c (main):
	* src/pr.c (getoptnum):
	* src/split.c (main):
	Use XTOINT_MIN_RANGE and XTOINT_MAX_RANGE if appropriate.
	* src/pr.c (getoptnum): Return int rather than returning void
	and storing through int *.
	* src/stty.c (apply_settings):
	Use ckd_add to check for overflow instead of doing it by hand.
	(integer_arg): Accept and return uintmax_t, not unsigned long.

	* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Rename "FUSEBLK" to "FUSE" to sync with
	kernel adjustments.  Add "bcachefs", and "pidfs".  Both are local,
	with the latter being similar to "proc" which is also local.
	* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior, and the improvement.

2024-05-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	build: fix build failure in --enable-single-binary mode
	* src/local.mk: Avoid overriding automake generated DEPENDENCIES,
	so that it applies its adjustments to LDADD to avoid propagating
	flags (like -Wl,-rpath) into make targets.  This was seen on FreeBSD
	where LIBINTL is set to:
	/usr/local/lib/libintl.so -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib
	Instead let automake generate a sanitized src_coreutils_DEPENDENCIES
	(based on LDADD), which we then augment with the EXTRA_... variable.

	stty: port test to Alpine Linux
	* tests/stty/stty.sh: Port to Alpine Linux 3.20.0_rc1, whose musl
	implementation’s printf invokes ioctl on stdout, so --version
	does an ioctl.

2024-05-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	dd: skip some alloc tests on ZFS
	* tests/dd/sparse.sh: Skip some tests on ZFS.

	maint: prefer stdbit.h to count-leading-zeros.h
	<stdbit.h> is in C23 and should be more portable in the long run,
	now that Gnulib supports it.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove count-leading-zeros.
	Add stdc_leading_zeros.
	* gl/lib/randperm.c, src/ioblksize.h:
	Include stdbit.h instead of count-leading-zeros.h.
	* gl/lib/randperm.c (floor_lg): Remove; no longer needed.
	(randperm_bound): Use stdc_bit_width instead of floor_lg;

	* src/ioblksize.h (io_blksize): Use stdc_leading_zeros_ull
	instead of count_leading_zeros_ll.

	maint: port test warnings to GCC 14
	* configure.ac: Disable GCC 14’s -Wmissing-variable-declarations
	in the test directory, as it’s not worth the aggravation there.
	Likewise for GCC's -Wsuggest-attribute=cold.

	maint: update bootstrap from Gnulib

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	sort: better -Wmissing-variable-declarations
	* src/sort.c: Ignore -Wmissing-variable-declarations only
	with GCC 14 and newer, since it didn’t exist earlier.
	Ignore the warning only when including md5.h, where it
	needs to be ignored, as the warning might be useful elsewhere.

	cksum: improve API consistency checking
	* src/cksum.c (main) [CRCTAB]: Generate updated crctab.c (see below).
	* src/crctab.c: Include cksum.h, to check consistency
	between decl and defn.  Include stdio.h since cksum.h needs it.

	wc: increase I/O size from 16 KiB to 256KiB
	Similarly to commit v9.4-143-gfcfba90d0,
	and enabled for AVX by commit v9.5-25-g0e4450103.

	This was seen to improve AVX performance by about 10%
	on an AMD 7800X3D (Ryzen 7 (2023)) CPU,
	while having neutral AVX performance,
	on an Intel i7-5600U (Broadwell-U (2015)) CPU.
	With avx not enabled, this gives about a 3% performance boost,
	on an Intel i7-5600U.

	* src/wc.c: Use the centrally configured optimum buffer size.
	* src/wc_avx2.c: Likewise.
	* NEWS: Mention the change in performance.

2024-05-09  Evgeny Nizhibitsky  <nizhibitsky@gmail.com>

	wc: simplify and generalize AVX code

	_mm256_sub_epi8() + _mm256_sad_epu8() to
	_mm256_movemask_epi8() + __builtin_popcount().
	This will allow adjusting the I/O size above 16KiB.
	* configure.ac: Align check with routines used in wc_avx2.c.

	There is a mismatch between isblank() used by tr and c32isblank() now
	used by uniq on Solaris 11 OpenIndiana. isblank() was seen to return
	true for non breaking space, while c32isblank() returned false.
	Interestingly on Solaris, non breaking space is considered a blank
	character, and isblank() and c32isblank() honor this in all locales.

	* tests/uniq/uniq.pl: Adjust the blank check to use join(1) rather than
	tr(1), as join uses the same blank determination routines as uniq(1).

	This is an issue with -[H]R mode, where an attacker

	* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
	Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/11108

2024-03-19  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	chmod: add support for -h, -H,-L,-P, --dereference options
	There have been various requests to add -h to avoid following symlinks
	for security reasons.  This wasn't provided previously as chmod(1)
	already ignored symlinks unless specified on the command line.
	Note chmod defaults to -H mode rather than the chown default of -P,
	as usually chown can work directly on symlinks and so defaults
	to not traversing those specified on the command line.
	Note FreeBSD chmod does default to -P mode, but we retain the -H mode
	default also for compatibility with existing chmod behavior.

	Adding -HLP will allow chmod to disable traversing CLI symlinks to dirs.
	Adding -h will allow to disable following CLI symlinks to files/dirs,
	  also operating on all symlinks on systems that support that.
	Adding --dereference will be significant with -H (the default).  I.e.
	  symlinks to dirs not recursed, but symlinks are dereferenced.
	Adding these options will also be consistent with chown(1), chgrp(1),
	and chmod(1) on other systems.

	Note since chmod(1) currently ignores symlinks by default,
	and -h is primarily a mechanism to avoid following symlinks, rather than
	for operating on the symlink itself, we make -h try to chmod a symlink,
	but ignore ENOTSUP.  In that way we're consistent with chown(1)
	where it also ignores ENOTSUP for symlinks, and we don't fail when
	trying to be extra secure with command line params.

	* doc/coreutils.texi (chmod invocation): Reference the -H,-L,-P
	descriptions, and adjust the corresponding macros to say
	the default is -H or -P as appropriate.
	Add --dereference and -h,--no-dereference descriptions.
	* man/chmod.x: Adjust discussion of symlink handling.
	* src/chmod.c (main): Accept new options and set
	fts flags appropriately.
	(process_file): Process / dereference symlinks as necessary.
	* src/system.h (emit_symlink_recurse_options): A new function
	refactored from chown.c and chmod.c usage().
	* tests/chmod/symlinks.sh: New test for the new options.
	* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
	* NEWS: Mention the new feature.

	..and the corresponding signal numbers were rejected as operands for the

	This patch removes the requirement that sig2str returns 0 for a signal
	number associated with an operand.  This allows unnamed signals to be in

	build: strengthen 16 bit float support checks
	Recent clang provides __bf16 on aarch64 but it is broken.

	If built with -O0, the conversion is wrong:

	    $ printf '\x3F\x80' | od --end=big -An -tfB | tr -d ' '
	    1.875

	If built with -O1 or higher, compilation fails:

	    fatal error: error in backend:
	    Cannot select: 0xb400007a58d29780: f32 = fp_extend 0xb40000...
	    0xb40000...: bf16,ch = CopyFromReg 0xb40000..., Register:bf16 %13
	    0xb40000...: bf16 = Register %13
	    In function: print_bfloat

	The latter issue does not cause the existing configure test to fail
	because the promotion is optimized out.

	* configure.ac: Ensure 16 bit float promotion code does not get
	optimized out, and produces an expected result.

	cp: add --keep-directory-symlink option
	When recursively copying files into OS trees, it often happens that
	some subdirectory of the source directory is a symlink in the target
	directory. Currently, cp will fail in that scenario with the error:

	"cannot overwrite non-directory %s with directory %s"

	However, we'd like cp in this scenario to follow the destination
	directory symlink and copy the files into the symlinked directory
	instead. Let's support this by adding a new option
	--keep-directory-symlink that makes cp follow destination directory
	symlinks.

	We name the option --keep-directory-symlink to keep consistent with
	tar which has the same option with the same effect.

	* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new option.

	uniq: fix bug with -w in multibyte locales
	-w counted bytes not characters, which is wrong in multibyte locales.
	This bug exists even in Fedora, which is why the recently-added
	test cases from Fedora didn’t catch it.
	* src/uniq.c (find_field): New arg PLEN.  All callers changed.
	Compute length of field correctly in multi-byte locales.
	(different): Don’t worry about check_chars; find_field now does that.
	* tests/uniq/uniq.pl: Test for this bug.

	tests: omit inapplicable test code
	* tests/misc/join.pl, tests/uniq/uniq.pl:
	Remove test for "invalid byte, character or field list" message
	that is not generated.

	uniq: change macro to function
	* src/uniq.c (swap_lines): New static function, replacing
	the old SWAP_LINES macro.  These days this is just as fast.
	All uses changed.

	uniq: prefer static init
	* src/uniq.c (skip_fields, skip_chars, check_chars, count_occurrences)
	(output_unique, output_first_repeated, output_later_repeated)
	(delimit_groups): Initialize statically, rather than in ‘main’.
	This shrinks the executable a bit.

	uniq: simplify and fix unlikely bug by using bool
	* src/uniq.c (enum countmode): Remove this type.
	(count_occurrences): New static var, replacing the old countmode,
	and of type boolean instead of a two-value enum type that was
	confusing (and which caused a hard-to-test bug when the count
	exceeded INTMAX_MAX - 1).  All uses changed.

2023-11-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	uniq: prefer signed integers
	* src/uniq.c (skip_fields, skip_chars, check_chars, size_opt)
	(find_field, different, writeline, check_file, main):
	Prefer signed to unsigned integer types, since this allows
	for better runtime checking with -fsanitize=undefined.

	maint: DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE uses stdckdint.h
	* src/system.h: Include <stdckdint.h>, since the new
	DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE uses it.
	Do not include stdckdint.h from files that also include system.h.
	(DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE): Omit last arg, which is no longer needed.
	Reimplement by using C23-style stdckdint.h’s ckd_mul and ckd_add,
	as that’s more standard and is more likely to generate better code.

	and when a field starts with NUL.

	maint: pacify ‘make syntax-check’

	* NEWS: Mention this.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove cu-ctype, as this module

	* src/join.c: Include skipchars.h and mcel.h instead of cu-ctype.h.
	(tab): Now mcel_t, not int.  All uses changed.
	(output_separator, output_seplen): New static vars.
	(eq_tab, newline_or_blank, comma_or_blank): New functions.
	(xfields, prfields, prjoin, add_field_list, main):

	Do not include cu-ctype.h.
	(newline_or_blank): New function.
	(next_field): Support multi-byte characters.
	* src/sort.c: Include ctype.h instead of cu-ctype.h.
	(inittables): Open-code field_sep since it no longer exists.
	‘sort’ is not multi-byte safe yet, but when it is this code
	will need revamping anyway.
	* src/uniq.c: Include mcel.h and skipchars.h instead of cu-ctype.h.
	(newline_or_blank): New function.
	(find_field): Support multi-byte characters.
	* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add tests/misc/join-utf8.sh

	test: allow non-blank white space in numbers
	* src/test.c (find_int): Use isspace, not isblank,
	for compatibility with how strtol works, which
	is how most other shells do this.

	stdbuf: port to oddball toupper
	* src/stdbuf.c: Do not include ctype.h.
	(set_libstdbuf_options): Use c_toupper, not toupper,
	since the C locale is intended here.

	dircolors: assume C-locale spaces
	* src/dircolors.c: Include c-ctype.h, not ctype.h.
	(parse_line): Use c_isspace, not isspace, as the .dircolors
	file format (which does not seem to be documented!) appears
	to be ASCII.

	maint: port to oddball tolower
	* src/digest.c (hex_equal): Work even in oddball locales
	where tolower does not work as expected on ASCII letters.

2023-10-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	maint: include ctype.h selectively
	Include ctype.h only in files that need it.  Many of its uses
	are incorrect, as they assume single-byte locales.  The idea is
	to remove the incorrect uses later, when there is time.
	* src/chroot.c, src/csplit.c, src/dd.c, src/digest.c, src/dircolors.c:
	* src/expand-common.c, src/expand.c, src/fmt.c, src/fold.c, src/ls.c:

	maint: move field_sep into separate module
	This is so that we don’t need to have every source file
	include ctype.h.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add cu-ctype.
	* gl/lib/cu-ctype.c, gl/lib/cu-ctype.h, gl/modules/cu-ctype:
	New files.
	* src/join.c, src/numfmt.c, src/sort.c, src/uniq.c:
	Include cu-ctype.h, for field_sep.
	* src/system.h (field_sep): Remove; now supplied by cu-ctype.

	digest: omit unnecessary b2sum includes
	* src/blake2/b2sum.c: Do not include string.h, errno.h,
	ctype.h, unistd.h, getopt.h.

	maint: prefer c_isxdigit when that is the intent
	* src/digest.c (valid_digits, split_3):
	* src/echo.c (main):
	* src/printf.c (print_esc):
	* src/ptx.c (unescape_string):
	* src/stat.c (print_it):
	When the code is supposed to support only POSIX-locale hex digits,
	use c_isxdigit rather than isxdigit.  Include c-ctype.h as needed.
	This defends against oddball locales where isxdigit != c_isxdigit.

	(B16): New macro, inspired by ../lib/base64.c.
	(base16_to_int): New static var, likewise.
	(isubase16): Reimplement using base16_to_int, since isxdigit is

	* src/basenc.c: The following renamings also change the arg type
	from char to unsigned char.  All uses changed.

	basenc: auto pad base32 and base64 inputs when decoding
	Padding of encoded data is useful in cases where
	base64 encoded data is concatenated / streamed.
	I.e. where there are padding chars _within_ the stream.
	In other cases padding is optional and can be inferred.
	Note we continue to treat partial padding as invalid,
	as that would be indicative of truncation.

	* src/basenc.c (do_decode): Auto pad the end of the input.

	wc: pacify ‘make syntax-check’
	* src/wc_avx2.c (wc_lines_avx2): Explicitly make it ‘extern’.
	Not sure why this is needed.

	wc: distribute src/wc.h
	* src/local.mk (noinst_HEADERS): Add src/wc.h.

	wc: goto considered harmful
	* src/wc.c: Do not include assure.h.  Replace the only
	use of ‘assure’ with ‘unreachable’ which is good enough.
	(wc, main): Remove labels and gotos.  This doesn’t affect
	performance in any way I can measure, and makes the code
	a bit easier to follow.

	wc: prefer signed integers
	Prefer signed to unsigned integers, to make it easier to catch
	integer overflow errors.
	* src/wc.c: Do not include safe-read.
	(total_lines_overflow, total_words_overflow, total_chars_overflow)
	(total_bytes_overflow): Now bool, not uintmax_t.  All uses changed.
	(max_line_length): Now intmax_t, not uintmax_t.  All uses changed.
	The total_... vars are still uintmax_t because overflow into them
	is checked.
	(page_size): Now idx_t, not size_t.
	(wc_lines, wc, get_input_fstatus, compute_number_width, main):
	Prefer signed to unsigned ints where either should do.
	(wc_lines, wc): Use read rather than safe_read, since we don’t
	need safe_read’s checks for huge buffers.
	(wc): Redo call to mbrtoc32 to lessen the number of comparisons
	against its returned value.  Do this partly by keeping a pointer
	to the end of the buffer rather than a count.  Simplify
	overflow-checking code.
	(compute_number_width): Check for integer overflow.
	Don’t assume size_t fits into unsigned long.
	* src/wc.h (struct wc_lines): Prefer signed integers.
	* src/wc_avx2.c: Do not include safe-read.h.
	(wc_lines_avx2): Prefer signed integers.  Use read, not safe_read.

	wc: improve avx2 API
	* src/wc.c: Use "#include <...>" for files not in the current dir.
	Include "wc.h" instead of declaring wc_lines_avx2 by hand.
	(wc_lines): New API, with no file name (no longer needed) and
	with a return struct rather than arg pointers.  All uses changed.
	Use avx2_supported directly instead of using a function pointer.
	Exploit C99-style declarations after statements.
	Multiply by 15 rather than dividing; it’s faster and more accurate
	and cannot overflow here.
	(wc): Simplify based on wc_lines API change.
	* src/wc.h: New file.
	* src/wc_avx2.c: Include it, to check API better.
	(wc_lines_avx2): Use new API.  All uses changed.  Exploit C99.
	Make locals more local.

	* src/factor.c (mp_factor_insert):
	* src/tail.c (parse_options): Use xpalloc to avoid quadratic
	worst-case behavior on reallocation.
	* src/tail.c (pids_alloc): New static var.

	doc: mention Unicode exceptions for wc

	wc: simplify by removing SUPPORT_OLD_MBRTOWC
	* src/wc.c (SUPPORT_OLD_MBRTOWC): Remove.  All uses removed.
	(wc): Simplify by assuming C99-or-later behavior for mbrtoc32,
	which after all is a C11 API.  Fix the !SUPPORT_OLD_MBRTOWC
	code, which evidently was never tested seriously.

	wc: 3× speedup in C locale
	The 3× speedup was measured by invoking 'wc $(find * -type f)'
	on the coreutils sources etc. on an Ubuntu 23.04 x86-64.
	These changes also speed up wc 20% in UTF-8 locales.
	* src/wc.c (wc_isprint, wc_isspace): New static vars.
	(wc): Use them for speed.
	(main): Initialize them if needed.
	(isnbspace): Remove; no longer used.

	wc: treat encoding errors as non white space
	* src/wc.c (wc): Treat encoding errors like non white space
	characters.

	wc: fix word count bug
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove c32isprint.
	* src/wc.c (wc): Consider all non-white-space characters
	to be word constituents, even if they are not printable.
	POSIX requires this, and it is what BSD does.
	Partly do this by simplifying the check for a word,
	by counting word starts rather than word ends.
	* tests/wc/wc.pl: Test for the bug.

	maint: omit some unused function tests
	* m4/jm-macros.m4: Do not check for ftruncate, iswspace,
	mkfifo, mbrlen, sysctl.  Coreutils no longer uses the
	corresponding HAVE_* macros, typically because Gnulib
	handles them now.
	* src/wc.c (iswspace): Remove; unused.

	sort: not a special case for mbrtowc
	* configure.ac (GNULIB_MBRTOWC_SINGLE_THREAD): Define.

	maint: prefer char32_t to wchar_t
	This should work better on non-glibc platforms that don’t
	use Unicode for wchar_t.  However, POSIX appears to prohibit
	this for printf.c so leave that alone.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add btoc32, c32iscntrl,
	c32isprint, c32isspace, c32width, mbrtoc32.  Remove btoc, wcwidth.
	* src/df.c, src/ls.c, src/wc.c:
	Include uchar.h instead of wchar.h and wctype.h.
	* src/df.c (replace_invalid_chars):
	* src/ls.c (quote_name_buf):
	* src/wc.c (isnbspace, wc):
	Use char32_t instead of wchar_t.

	wc: simplify #if MB_LEN_MAX
	* src/wc.c: Don’t have special #ifs for platforms where
	MB_LEN_MAX is 1.  On these platforms, MB_CUR_MAX is 1 as well,
	so the compiler should optimize away all multi-byte code.

	wc: avoid undefined conversion state
	* src/wc.c (wc): When mbrtowc returns (size_t) -1, zero the
	conversion state, since POSIX says it’s undefined.

	maint: use mbszero
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mbszero.
	* src/df.c (replace_invalid_chars):
	* src/ls.c (quote_name_buf):
	* src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only):
	* src/printf.c (STRTOX):
	* src/wc.c (wc):
	Prefer mbszero to clearing an mbstate_t by hand.

	maint: prefer mcel
	This causes Gnulib code to also use mcel, which is more consistent.
	* bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid mbuiter
	and mbuiterf, since we can now just use mcel.  This avoids
	the need to ship and compile mbchar and these modules.
	(gnulib_modules): Change mcel to mcel-prefer.

	wc: stop worrying about EBCDIC, shift-JIS, etc
	* src/wc.c: Do not include mbchar.h.
	(wc): Check for ASCII characters instead of using is_basic.
	Other parts of Gnulib and coreutils already assume the encoding
	is upward compatible with ASCII, and the old code wouldn’t
	have worked anyway with shift-JIS.

	expr: use mcel
	The mcel API is simpler and corresponds more closely to how
	Emacs etc. behave when the input has encoding errors,
	since it treats each encoding-error byte separately.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mcel.
	* src/expr.c: Include mcel.h instead of mbuiter.h.
	(mbs_logical_cspn, mbs_logical_substr, mbs_offset_to_chars):
	Use mcel API.
	(mbs_logical_substr): Use ximemdup0 so as not to waste memory in
	the result, fixing a FIXME.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

2023-09-21  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	build: avoid build failures on gcc <= 10, or clang
	On gcc 10 the following build failure occurs:
	  "error: a label can only be part of a statement
	   and a declaration is not a statement"
	This is because the current code is non standards conforming,
	but GCC >= 11 will compile it (even with the -Wpedantic option).
	This issue is tracked for GCC at:
	https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111526

	* src/tail.c (parse_options): Avoid a declaration after label,
	by using a surrounding block.

2023-09-20  Stephen Kitt  <skitt@redhat.com>

	tail: allow multiple PIDs
	tail can watch multiple files, but currently only a single writer. It
	can be useful to watch files from multiple writers, or even processes
	not directly related to the files (e.g. watch log files written by a
	server process, for the duration of a test driven by a separate
	client).

	* src/tail.c (writers_are_dead): New function.
	(tail_forever): Use it to wait for writers.
	(tail_forever_inotify): As above.
	(parse_options): Manage --pid options in an array.
	* doc/coreutils.texi: Update documentation.
	* tests/tail/pid.sh: Add a variant with two PIDs.
	* News: Mention the new feature.

	when the --dired option is specified.
	* tests/ls/dired.sh: Check that formats are implied / overridden.
	* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

	cp,mv,install: add copy_internal comment
	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comment about
	some particularly tricky logic.

	cp: avoid needless unlinkat after fstatat ELOOP
	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): When cp -f's fstatat fails on the
	destination with ELOOP, report an error immediately when fstatat
	used AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, as the later unlinkat would fail too.

	cp,mv,install: minor copy_internal refactoring
	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Redo to avoid need for calculating
	fstatat_flags when not needed.  This is for clarity, not speed.

	cp,mv,install: fix comment punctuation
	* src/copy.h: Fix punctuation in comment.

	cp,mv,install: simplify copy_internal

	* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Keep lines <= 80 chars.

2023-08-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	maint: Gnulib module gc
	Remove Gnulib modules that coreutils code no longer use directly.
	Some of these are used indirectly, but gnulib-tool should do that.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove calloc-gnu, cloexec,
	getgroups, getpass-gnu, getugroups, getusershell, gnu-mae,
	group-member, lchown, mgetgroups, netinet_in, readlink,
	realloc-gnu, rename, rpmatch, stpncpy, tzset, wchar-single,
	wcswidth.

	maint: assume non-rare encodings
	* configure.ac (GNULIB_WCHAR_SINGLE_LOCALE): Define.
	This can improve performance, while dropping support for
	rare encodings on non-GNU platforms.  Nowadays these encodings
	are typically not worth the hassle.

	maint: tune for single thread & locale
	* configure.ac (GNULIB_EXCLUDE_SINGLE_THREAD)

	Do not assume the usual order for struct members,
	as POSIX does not guarantee this.

	maint: rely on Gnulib fdatasync
	* m4/jm-macros.m4: Remove fdatasync-related code,
	as Gnulib now does this.
	* src/dd.c (fdatasync) [!HAVE_FDATASYNC]:
	* src/shred.c (dosync) [!HAVE_FDATASYNC]: Rely on Gnulib fdatasync.

	maint: use modern Gnulib LIB_ macros
	* src/local.mk (src_timeout_LDADD, src_dd_LDADD)
	(src_shred_LDADD, src_sync_LDADD): Use TIMER_TIME_LIB
	and FDATASYNC_LIB instead of LIB_TIMER_TIME and
	LIB_FDATASYNC.

	kill: rely on Gnulib strsignal
	Omit checks no longer needed now that we use strsignal.
	* configure.ac: Do not check for strsignal-related decls.

2023-08-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	maint: remove rename macro
	* src/copy.h (rename) [RENAME_TRAILING_SLASH_BUG]:
	Remove: unused, now that Gnulib takes care of this.

	maint: remove need for mbsalign
	This simplifies memory allocation a bit, and removes an arbitrary
	limitation from numfmt, which formerly limited cell output to 127
	bytes.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove mbsalign, strncat.
	Add strnlen (the code already used strnlen directly, and we were
	saved only because Gnulib used the module indirectly)
	* gl/lib/mbsalign.c, gl/lib/mbsalign.h, gl/modules/mbsalign:
	* gl/modules/mbsalign-tests, gl/tests/test-mbsalign.c: Remove.
	* src/df.c, src/ls.c: Do not include mbsalign.h.
	(MBSWIDTH_FLAGS): New constant, now used for all
	mbswidth calls.  All callers changed to check for -1 return.
	* src/df.c (struct field_data_t): ‘width’ is now int not size_t,
	since mbswidth can’t do widths greater than INT_MAX anyway.
	Replace ‘align’ with ‘align_right’.  All uses changed.
	(print_table): Redo to avoid the need for ambsalign.
	(get_header, get_dev): mbswidth returns int, not size_t.
	* src/ls.c (MAX_MON_WIDTH): Remove; no longer used.
	(abmon_init): Use strnlen to cheaply discard too-long month names.
	Align by hand instead of using mbsalign.
	* src/numfmt.c: Include stdckdint.h, mbswidth.h.
	Do not include mbsalign.h.
	(padding_buffer_size): Now idx_t.  All uses changed.
	(padding_width): Now intmax_t, since it’s no longer an object
	size.  Its sign now records alignment.  All uses changed.
	(zero_padding_width): Now int, since it’s given to sprintf.
	All uses changed.
	(padding_alignment): Remove; it’s now taken from padding_width’s sign.
	(double_to_human): Return string length.  BUF_SIZE arg is now idx_t.
	Include suffix in output.  All callers changed.  Simplify by not
	calling strncat or stpcpy.  Calculate fmt size bound more carefully.
	(setup_padding_buffer): Remove.  All uses removed.
	(parse_format_string): Use intmax_t, not long, for pad.
	On overflow, set widths to large values that cause later code
	to do the right thing, rather than separately checking for
	overflow here.
	(prepare_padded_number): Return bool, not int 0/1.  New arg
	PADDING.  All uses changed.  Do not limit padded output to 127
	bytes; instead, use xpalloc to expand the output buffer.
	(print_padded_number): New arg PADDING.  All uses changed.
	(process_suffixed_number): Simplify.
	(main): Take extremum if xstrtoimax overflows, as this does
	the right thing.
	* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: New test suf-20 to test for truncation bug.
	Remove tests pad-3.2, fmt-err-7, as they’re no longer invalid but
	are quite expensive.

2023-08-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	maint: spelling fixes, including author names
	Most of this just affects commentary and documentations.  The only
	significant behavior change is translating author names via
	proper_name_lite rather than proper_name_utf8, or not translating
	them at all.  proper_name_lite is good enough for coreutils and
	avoids the bloat that had coreutils not using Gnulib proper_name.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Use propername-lite instead
	of propername.
	(XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Look for proper_name_lite instead of for
	proper_name_utf8.
	* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove
	sc_proper_name_utf8_requires_ICONV, since we no longer use
	proper_name_utf8.
	(old_NEWS_hash): Update.
	(sc_check-I18N-AUTHORS): Remove; no longer needed.

	test: omit unreachable code

	Oracle Solaris Studio 12.6 warns about it.

	* tests/sort/sort-merge-fdlimit.sh: Give 'sort' fd 6 too.
	Needed for the same reason sort-continue.sh needed a ulimit -n boost.

	sort: port sort-continue test back to Solaris 10
	* tests/sort/sort-continue.sh: Use ulimit -n 7 not -n 6.  On
	Solaris 10 'sort' uses Gnulib mkostemp, which calls Gnulib
	getrandom, which opens /dev/urandom to calculate the temp file's
	name, which means 'sort' needs one more file descriptor to work.

	Do not let an idx_t value go negative.
	(print_uptime, uptime): Be more generous about read_utmp failures,

	maint: Update after gnulib module 'readutmp' changed
	(This patch is coauthored with Bruno Haible,
	with original version at <https://bugs.gnu.org/64937#>.)
	This updates the gnulib submodule to latest.
	For year-2038 safety on Linux/{x86,arm},
	this adds an --enable-systemd option to ‘configure’.
	The idea is that this sort of thing will become the default
	after it has been tested more.
	* configure.ac: Don't test whether struct utmp and struct utmpx
	have the ut_host field; this is now done in gnulib's readutmp module.
	* src/local.mk: Link the programs 'pinky', 'uptime', 'users',
	'who' with $(READUTMP_LIB).
	* src/pinky.c, src/who.c:
	Test HAVE_STRUCT_XTMP_UT_HOST instead of HAVE_UT_HOST.
	* src/pinky.c (print_entry):
	* src/who.c (print_user, print_deadprocs, print_login)
	(print_initspawn, scan_entries):
	Support the situation where ut_line is a 'char *' rather than a
	'char[]' of fixed size.  Likewise for ut_user and ut_host.
	(make_id_equals_comment): Likewise for ut_id.
	* src/pinky.c (print_entry):
	* src/who.c (print_user):
	Open /dev to simplify looking up its entries.
	Don’t use printf if the output might in theory be longer than INT_MAX.
	* src/pinky.c (scan_entries, short_pinky):
	* src/uptime.c (print_uptime, uptime):
	* src/users.c (list_entries_users, users):
	* src/who.c (who):
	Use idx_t where new read_utmp needs it.
	* src/system.h (STREQ_LEN): Add comment that last arg can be -1.

	cut: promptly diagnose write errors, continued
	* src/cut.c: Complete the error-handling improvements started in
	commit e0a4a60af5, by adding a couple of remaining checks for putchar().
	While there, sprinkle a few rather useful comments, and perform a few
	small code cleanups, to make the code and the comments more uniform
	and more conformant to the official coding style.  Also make the help
	message slightly more uniform.

	* src/od.c (FMT_BYTES_ALLOCATED): Increase by two to avoid:
	  error: '%s' directive writing between 1 and 2 bytes into a region
	  of size between 1 and 4 [-Werror=format-overflow=]
	(maint): Use %td to print idx_t rather than invalid %jt format.

2023-08-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	pinky: prefer signed types
	* src/pinky.c (idle_string): Prefer intmax_t to unsigned long int;
	this avoids an overflow on platforms where unsigned long is 32
	bits and time_t is 64 bits (the bug could occur on such a system
	that was idle for more than 6 million years, so it’s a bit
	hard to supply a test case...).

	different representations.

	groups,id: don’t assume gid_t fits in unsigned long
	* src/group-list.c (print_group): Convert to intmax_t or

	Use ‘char’ for these small constants.
	(simple_strtoi): Rename from simple_strtoul.  Convert to int
	instead of unsigned long; that’s good enough.  All uses changed.
	Simplify by using ckd_mul and ckd_add to check for overflow.
	(main): Prefer signed types to unsigned.

	cksum,df,digest: prefer signed types
	* src/cksum.c (main):
	* src/df.c (decode_output_arg):

	factor: prefer signed types
	When it’s easy, prefer signed types to unsigned, as
	they are less confusing and allow overflow checking.
	* src/factor.c (struct mp_factors, udiv_qrnnd)

	doc: clarify tail -n/-c +NUM operation
	tail -n/-c +NUM, is different from tail -n/-c NUM,
	and head -n/-c NUM, and head -n/c -NUM, in that it
	specifies a 1 based index rather than a count to skip/include.
	So clarify this in tail --help and tail info manual.
	Note we also mention this gotcha at:
	https://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/coreutils-gotchas.html#tail

	* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Give examples for -c/-n +NUM,
	to make it clear one has to specify a number 1 larger than

	Now that Gnulib’s ‘error’ module does proper static checking

	These changes were tested with gcc 10.2.1, 12.2.1, and 13.1.1 like:
	  for o in g s z fast 0 1 2 3; do
	    make clean && make -j$(nproc) CFLAGS="-O$o" || break

	cp,mv: add --update=none to always skip existing files
	Add --update=none which is equivalent to the --no-clobber behavior
	from before coreutils 9.2.  I.e. existing files are unconditionally

	copy: fix --reflink=auto to fallback in more cases
	On restricted systems like android or some containers,

	stty: ensure arbitrary data is not displayed
	* src/stty.c (main): Use static structures to ensure

	defined with different display sequences.

	* src/dircolors.hin: Document how file name suffixes are matched.
	Note this is displayed with `dircolors --print-database` which
	the texi info recommends to use for details.
	* src/ls.c (parse_ls_color): Postprocess the list to
	mark entries for case sensitive matching,
	and also adjust so that unmatchable entries are more quickly ignored.
	(get_color_indicator): Use exact matching rather than
	case insensitive matching if so marked.
	* tests/ls/color-ext.sh: Add test cases.

2023-03-08  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	tee: support non blocking outputs
	Non blocking outputs can be seen for example
	when piping telnet through tee to a terminal.
	In that case telnet sets its input to nonblocking mode,
	which results in tee's output being nonblocking,
	in which case in may receive an EAGAIN error upon write().
	The same issue was seen with mpirun.
	The following can be used to reproduce this
	locally at a terminal (in most invocations):

	  $ { dd iflag=nonblock count=0 status=none;
	      dd bs=10K count=10 if=/dev/zero status=none; } |
	    tee || echo fail >/dev/tty

	* src/iopoll.c (iopoll_internal): A new function refactored from
	iopoll(), to also support a mode where we check the output
	descriptor is writeable.
	(iopoll): Now refactored to just call iopoll_internal().
	(fwait_for_nonblocking_write): A new internal function which
	uses iopoll_internal() to wait for writeable output
	if an EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK was received.
	(fwrite_nonblock): An fwrite() wrapper which uses
	fwait_for_nonblocking_write() to handle EAGAIN.
	(fclose_nonblock): Likewise.
	src/iopoll.h: Add fclose_nonblock, fwrite_nonblock.
	src/tee.c: Call fclose_nonblock() and fwrite_nonblock wrappers,
	instead of the standard functions.
	* tests/misc/tee.sh: Add a test case.
	* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

2023-03-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	split: tune for when creating output files
	* src/split.c (create): Avoid fstat + ftruncate in the usual case
	where the output file does not already exist, by trying
	to create it with O_EXCL first.  This costs a failed open
	in the unusual case where the output file already exists,
	but that’s OK.

	split: style fix
	* src/split.c (ofile_open): Avoid ‘if (! (a = b))’ style.

	split: prefer signed integers to size_t
	This allows for better runtime checking with gcc
	-fsanitize=undefined.
	* src/split.c: Include idx.h.
	(open_pipes_alloc, n_open_pipes, suffix_length)
	(set_suffix_length, input_file_size, sufindex, outbase_length)
	(outfile_length, addsuf_length, create, cwrite, bytes_split)
	(lines_split, line_bytes_split, lines_chunk_split)
	(bytes_chunk_extract, ofile_open, lines_rr, main):
	Prefer signed integers (typically idx_t) to size_t.

	split: handle large numbers better
	Prefer signed types to uintmax_t, as this allows for better
	runtime checking with gcc -fsanitize=undefined.
	Also, when an integer overflows just use the maximal value
	when the code will do the right thing anyway.
	* src/split.c (set_suffix_length, bytes_split, lines_split)
	(line_bytes_split, lines_chunk_split, bytes_chunk_extract)
	(lines_rr, parse_chunk, main):
	Prefer a signed type (typically intmax_t) to uintmax_t.
	(strtoint_die): New function.
	(OVERFLOW_OK): New macro.  Use it elsewhere, where we now allow
	LONGINT_OVERFLOW because the code then does the right thing on all
	practical platforms (they have int wide enough so that it cannot
	be practically exhausted).  We can do this now that we can safely
	assume intmax_t has at least 64 bits.
	(parse_n_units): New function.
	(parse_chunk, main): Use it.
	(main): Do not worry about integer overflow when the code
	will do the right thing anyway with the extreme value.
	Just use the extreme value.
	* tests/split/fail.sh: Adjust to match new behavior.

	split: prefer ssize_t for read result
	* src/split.c (bytes_split, lines_chunk_split)
	(bytes_chunk_extract, main): Prefer ssize_t to size_t when
	representing the return value of ‘read’.  Use a negative value
	instead of SIZE_MAX to indicate a missing value.

	split: be more careful about buffer sizes
	* src/split.c: Include sys-limits.h, not safe-read.h.
	(input_file_size, bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split)
	(lines_chunk_split, bytes_chunk_extract, lines_rr): Call read, not
	safe_read, since safe_read no longer buys us anything.
	(main): Reject outlandish buffer sizes right away,
	rather than allocating huge buffers and never using them.

	split: minor -1 / 0 refactor
	* src/split.c (create, bytes_split, ofile_open):
	Prefer comparing to 0 to comparing to -1.

	split: don’t worry about ECHILD
	* src/split.c (closeout): There should be no need for a special
	case for ECHILD, since we never wait for the same child twice.
	Simplify with this in mind.

	split: don’t assume pid_t fits in int
	* src/split.c (filter_pid): Now pid_t, not int.
	(of_t): opid member is now pid_t, not int.

	split: simplify SIGPIPE handling
	Ignore and default SIGPIPE, rather than blocking and unblocking it.
	* src/split.c (default_SIGPIPE):
	New static var, replacing oldblocked and newblocked.
	(create): Use it.
	(main): Set it.

	split: port ‘split -n N /dev/null’ better to macOS
	* src/split.c (input_file_size): Do not bother with lseek if the
	initial read probe reaches EOF, since the file size is known then.
	This works better on macOS, which doesn’t allow lseek on /dev/null.
	Do not special-case size-zero files, as the issue can occur
	with any size file (though /proc files are the most common).
	If the current position is past end of file, treat this as
	size zero regardless of whether the file has a usable st_size.
	Pass through lseek -1 return values rather than using ‘return -1’;
	this makes the code a bit easier to analyze (and a bit faster).
	Avoid undefined behavior if the size calculation overflows.
	(lines_chunk_split): Do not bother with lseek if it would have
	no effect if successful.  This works better on macOS, which
	doesn’t allow lseek on /dev/null.
	* tests/split/l-chunk.sh: Adjust to match fixed behavior.

	maint: fix NEWS quoting
	* NEWS: Use English-language quoting in recent news.

	split: split more evenly with -n
	* src/split.c (bytes_split): New arg REM_BYTES.
	Use this to split more evenly.  All callers changed.
	(lines_chunk_split, bytes_chunk_extract):
	Be consistent with new byte_split.
	* tests/split/b-chunk.sh, tests/split/l-chunk.sh: Test new behavior.

	split: small -n lines simplification
	* src/split.c (lines_chunk_split):
	Rewrite while as if-while for clarity.

	split: refactor lines_chunk_split
	* src/split.c (lines_chunk_split): Simplify by having chunk_end
	point to the first byte after the chunk, rather than to the last
	byte of the chunk.  This will reduce confusion once we allow
	chunks to be empty.

	tee: tune when later -p overrides earlier
	* src/tee.c (pipe_check): Make this a local var instead
	of a static var.  This suppresses a -Wmaybe-uninitialized
	diagnostic with gcc 12.2.1 20221121 (Red Hat 12.2.1-4).
	(main): Don’t set pipe_check unnecessarily if a later
	-p option overrides an earlier one that wants pipe_check.
	Problem discovered when I investigated the GCC warning.

	tee: enhance -p mode using iopoll() to detect broken pipe outputs
	If input is intermittent (a tty, pipe, or socket), and all remaining
	outputs are pipes (eg, >(cmd) process substitutions), exit early when
	they have all become broken pipes (and thus future writes will fail),
	without waiting for more input to become available, as future write
	attempts to these outputs will fail (SIGPIPE/EPIPE).

	Only provide this enhancement when pipe errors are ignored (-p mode).

	Note that only one output needs to be monitored at a time with iopoll(),
	as we only want to exit early if _all_ outputs have been removed.

	* src/tee.c (pipe_check): New global for iopoll mode.

	and input is suitable for iopoll().
	(get_next_out): Helper function for finding next valid output.
	(fail_output, tee_files): Break out write failure/output removal logic
	to helper function.
	(tee_files): Add out_pollable array to track which outputs are suitable

	still valid; add iopoll() broken pipe detection before calling read(),
	removing an output that becomes a broken pipe.

	all: add broken pipe detection while waiting for input
	When a program's output becomes a broken pipe, future attempts to write
	to that ouput will fail (SIGPIPE/EPIPE).  Once it is known that all
	future write attepts will fail (due to broken pipes), in many cases it
	becomes pointless to wait for further input for slow devices like ttys.
	Ideally, a program could use this information to exit early once it is
	known that future writes will fail.

	Introduce iopoll() to wait on a pair of fds (input & output) for input
	to become ready or output to become a broken pipe.

	This is relevant when input is intermittent (a tty, pipe, or socket);
	but if input is always ready (a regular file or block device), then
	a read() will not block, and write failures for a broken pipe will
	happen normally.

	Introduce iopoll_input_ok() to check whether an input fd is relevant
	for iopoll().

	Experimentally, broken pipes are only detectable immediately for pipes,
	but not sockets.  Errors for other file types will be detected in the
	usual way, on write failure.

	Introduce iopoll_output_ok() to check whether an output fd is suitable
	for iopoll() -- namely, whether it is a pipe.

	iopoll() is best implemented with a native poll(2) where possible, but
	fall back to a select(2)-based implementation platforms where there are
	portability issues.  See also discussion in tail.c.

	In general, adding a call to iopoll() before a read() in filter programs
	also allows broken pipes to "propagate" backwards in a shell pipeline.

	* src/iopoll.c, src/iopoll.h (iopoll): New function implementing broken
	pipe detection on output while waiting for input.
	(IOPOLL_BROKEN_OUTPUT, IOPOLL_ERROR): Return codes for iopoll().
	(IOPOLL_USES_POLL): Macro for poll() vs select() implementation.
	(iopoll_input_ok): New function to check whether an input fd is relevant
	for iopoll().
	(iopoll_output_ok): New function to check whether an input fd is
	suitable for iopoll().
	* src/local.mk (noinst_HEADERS): add src/iopoll.h.

	cp,install,mv: add --debug to explain how a file is copied
	How a file is copied is dependent on the sparseness of the file,
	what file system it is on, what file system the destination is on,
	the attributes of the file, and whether they're being copied or not.
	Also the --reflink and --sparse options directly impact the operation.

	Given it's hard to reason about the combination of all of the above,
	the --debug option is useful for users to directly identify if
	copy offloading, reflinking, or sparse detection are being used.

	It will also be useful for tests to directly query if
	these operations are supported.

	The new output looks as follows:

	  $ src/cp --debug src/cp file.sparse
	  'src/cp' -> 'file.sparse'
	  copy offload: yes, reflink: unsupported, sparse detection: no

	  $ truncate -s+1M file.sparse

	  $ src/cp --debug file.sparse file.sparse.cp
	  'file.sparse' -> 'file.sparse.cp'
	  copy offload: yes, reflink: unsupported, sparse detection: SEEK_HOLE

	  $ src/cp --reflink=never --debug file.sparse file.sparse.cp
	  'file.sparse' -> 'file.sparse.cp'
	  copy offload: avoided, reflink: no, sparse detection: SEEK_HOLE

	* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the --debug option.
	(mv invocation): Likewise.
	(install invocation): Likewise.
	* src/copy.h: Add a new DEBUG member to cp_options, to control
	whether to output debug info or not.
	* src/copy.c (copy_debug): A new global structure to
	unconditionally store debug into from the last copy_reg operations.
	(copy_debug_string, emit_debug): New functions to print debug info.

	* src/install.c: Likewise.
	* src/mv.c: Likewise.

	wc: add --total={auto,never,always,only} option
	without this option, control of when the total is output
	is quite awkward. Consider trying to suppress the total line,
	which could be achieved with something like:

	   wc-no-total() { wc "$@" /dev/null | head -n-2; }

	As well as being non obvious, it's also non general.
	It would give a non failure, but zero count if passed a file on stdin.
	Also it doesn't work in conjunction with the --files0-from option,
	which would need to be handled differently with something like:

	   { find files -print0; printf '%s\0' /dev/null; } |
	   wc --files0-from=- |
	   head -n2

	Also getting just the total can be awkward as file names
	are only suppressed when processing stdin, and
	also a total line is only printed if processing more than one file.
	For completness this might be achieved currently with:

	  wc-only-total() {
	    wc "$@" |
	    tail -n1 |
	    sed 's/^ *//; s/ [^ 0-9]*$//'
	  }

	rm: fix diagnostics on I/O error
	I ran into this problem when attempting to recursively
	remove a directory in a filesystem on flaky hardware.
	Although the underlying readdir syscall failed with errno == EIO,
	rm issued no diagnostic about the I/O error.

	Without this patch I see this behavior:

	  $ rm -fr baddir
	  rm: cannot remove 'baddir': Directory not empty
	  $ rm -ir baddir
	  rm: descend into directory 'baddir'? y
	  rm: remove directory 'baddir'? y
	  rm: cannot remove 'baddir': Directory not empty

	With this patch I see the following behavior, which
	lets the user know about the I/O error when rm tries
	to read baddir's directory entries:

	  $ rm -fr baddir
	  rm: cannot remove 'baddir': Input/output error
	  $ rm -ir baddir
	  rm: cannot remove 'baddir': Input/output error

	* src/remove.c (Ternary): Remove.  All uses removed.
	(get_dir_status): New static function.
	(prompt): Last arg is now directory status, not ternary.
	Return RM_USER_ACCEPTED if user explicitly accepted.
	All uses changed.
	Report any significant error in directory status right away.
	(prompt, rm_fts): Use get_dir_status to get directory status lazily.
	(excise): Treat any FTS_DNR errno as being more descriptive, not
	just EPERM and EACCESS.  For example, EIO is more descriptive.
	(rm_fts): Distinguish more clearly between explicit and implied
	user OK.
	* src/remove.h (RM_USER_ACCEPTED): New constant.
	(VALID_STATUS): Treat it as valid.
	* src/system.h (is_empty_dir): Remove, replacing with ...
	(directory_status): ... this more-general function.
	All uses changed.  Avoid undefined behavior of looking at
	a non-null readdir pointer after corresponding closedir.
	* tests/rm/rm-readdir-fail.sh: Adjust test of internals
	to match current behavior.

	this, so that dynamically specified arguments like the following
	are supported

	  env --ignore-signals "$SIGS_TO_IGNORE"

	Note `env --ignore-signals=` is treated as an empty argument.

2022-05-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	sort: fix unlikely int overflow with -r
	* src/sort.c (keycompare, compare): Don’t overflow if -r is
	specified and a comparison function returns INT_MIN, as this
	causes the comparison to have undefined behavior (typically the
	reverse of correct).  glibc memcmp on s390x reportedly returns
	INT_MIN in some cases, so this is not a purely academic issue.

	maint: simplify comparisons
	* src/comm.c (compare_files):
	* src/join.c (keycmp):
	* src/ls.c (off_cmp):
	* src/ptx.c (compare_words, compare_occurs):
	* src/set-fields.c (compare_ranges):
	Prefer ((a > b) - (a < b)) to variants like (a < b ? -1 : a > b)
	as it’s typically faster these days.

	sort: remove some gotos
	* src/sort.c (keycompare): Rework to avoid gotos.
	This also shrinks the machine code a bit (112 bytes)
	with GCC 12 x86-64 -O2.  Nowadays compilers are smart
	enough to coalesce jumps so we need not do it by hand.

	sort: pacify GCC 12 false positive
	* src/sort.c (keycompare): Rework to pacify a GCC 12
	-Wmaybe-uninitialized false positive, by coalescing some minor
	duplicate code and eliminating a branch.  This should execute an
	insn or two less in the usual case.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	factor: --exponents: new option for printing in p^e format
	When factoring numbers that have a large 2^n factor, it can be hard to
	eyeball just how many 2's there are. Add an option to print each prime
	power factor in the p^e format (omitting the exponent when it is 1).

	* src/factor.c: Add -h, --exponents option for printing in p^e format.

	doc: rmdir: clarify --ignore-fail-on-non-empty operation
	This option has changed from ignoring only ENOTEMPTY|EEXIST
	(i.e. ignore errors _solely_ due to dir not empty),
	to ignoring some other errors from more protected dirs
	that are not empty.  That adjustment was made to better
	support use with --parents, to essentially remove as much of
	a hierarchy as possible, without erroring as we hit more
	protected non empty parent dirs.
	That functionality adjustment was originally discussed at:
	https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-coreutils/2008-01/msg00283.html

	* src/rmdir.c (usage): Adjust to be more accurate to current behavior.

	Rename is_a_dir to try_to_open since that’s closer to what it means.
	If the open failed with EACCES and we used O_SEARCH, look at stat
	results to see whether errno should be ENOTDIR for better diagnostics.
	Treat EOVERFLOW as an “I don’t know whether it’s a directory and
	there’s no easy way to find out” rather than as an error.

	cp,mv,install: avoid excess stat calls on non-GNU
	* gl/lib/targetdir.c (target_directory_operand): New arg ST.

	like Solaris 10 that didn't support the O_DIRECTORY flag.

	This is still racy on such systems, but only in the

	ls: avoid expensive capability lookup by default
	Lookup of file-based capabilities adds 30% overhead to the common
	case of ls --color usage.  Since the use of file capabilities is
	very rare, it doesn't make sense to pay this cost in the common
	case.  It's better to use getcap to inspect capabilities, and the
	following run shows only 8 files using capabilities on my fedora
	35 distro (14 years after the feature was introduced to the linux
	kernel).

	ls: avoid triggering automounts
	statx() has different defaults wrt automounting
	compared to stat() or lstat(), so explicitly
	set the AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress that behavior,

	It's more common to use bold style than not,
	for references to other man pages.
	Ideally each man page renderer would highlight references,

	* man/help2man: Implement a --bold-refs option that
	will mark up references like "name(1)" with bold
	style around the "name" component.

	dircolors: speed up processing of TERM entries
	* src/dircolors.c (main): Avoid glob matching
	when we've already matched in a group of {COLOR,}TERM entries.

2022-02-15  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	dircolors: consider COLORTERM as well as TERM env vars
	COLORTERM is an environment used usually to expose truecolor support in
	terminal emulators.  Therefore support matches on that in addition
	to TERM.  Also set the default COLORTERM match pattern so that
	we apply colors if COLORTERM is any value.

	This implicitly supports a terminal like "foot"
	without a need for an explicit TERM entry.

	* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
	* src/dircolors.c (main): Match COLORTERM like we do for TERM.
	* src/dircolors.hin: Add default config to match any COLORTERM.
	* tests/misc/dircolors.pl: Add test cases.

	related to coreutils commit v9.0-143-gabde15969
	we no longer maintain numeric IDs through chopt->{user,group}_name.
	Therefore we need to adjust to ensure tests/chown/basic.sh passes.

	* src/chown-core.c (uid_to_str, gid_to_str): New helper functions
	to convert numeric id to string.
	(change_file_owner): Use the above new functions to pass
	numeric ids to describe_change().

2022-02-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	sort: fix several version-sort problems
	This also affects ls -v in some corner cases.
	Problems reported by Michael Debertol <https://bugs.gnu.org/49239>.
	While looking into this, I spotted some more areas where the
	code and documentation did not agree, or where the documentation
	was unclear.  In some cases I changed the code; in others
	the documentation.  I hope things are nailed down better now.
	* doc/sort-version.texi: Distinguish more carefully between
	characters and bytes.  Say that non-identical strings can
	compare equal, since they now can.  Improve readability in
	various ways.  Make it clearer that a suffix can be the
	entire string.
	* src/ls.c (cmp_version): Fall back on strcmp if filevercmp
	reports equality, since filevercmp is no longer a total order.
	* src/sort.c (keycompare): Use filenvercmp, to treat NULs correctly.
	* tests/misc/ls-misc.pl (v_files):
	Adjust test to match new behavior.
	* tests/misc/sort-version.sh: Add tests for stability,
	and for sorting with NUL bytes.

	doc: avoid using "[" is URLS in --help output
	* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): While supported if entered
	  manually, the "[" character is not highlighted as part of a
	  URL by default in terminals, so avoid using it.
	  Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/53946

	doc: adust --help, --version alignment
	* src/system.h: Adjust the alignment of the --help
	and --version option descriptions, to start at column 21.
	This better aligns with the descriptions of most commands,
	and also aligns with the minimum column a description must
	start at to ensure a blank line is not output when a description
	follows an option on a line by itself.

	doc: rmdir: improve --help formatting
	* src/rmdir.c (usage): Move description to column 21,
	so that a --long-option on its own line without a
	trailing description, doesn't have an erroneous blank
	line inserted between the option and description.
	Also group descriptions with blank lines rather than indents,
	so that man pages don't have erroneous blank lines
	added within the description.
	Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/53946

	doc: ls: reference dircolors(1) from --help
	* src/ls.c (usage): s/dircolors/dircolors(1)/.
	* man/ls.x [SEE ALSO]: Reference dircolors(1).
	Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/53946

	doc: ls: improve --help formatting
	* src/ls.c (usage): Use blank lines to group multi-line
	option descriptions, rather than indenting.
	This results in more consistent alignment of descriptions,
	and also avoids erroneous new lines in generated in man pages.
	Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/53946

2022-02-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	doc: improve version-sort doc
	* doc/coreutils.texi, doc/sort-version.texi:
	Capitalize “Coreutils”.
	* doc/sort-version.texi: Don’t emphasize natural sort so much,
	since Coreutils has just version sort.
	Use the term “lexicographic” instead of “alphabetic” or “standard”.
	Suggest combining ‘V’ with ‘b’, and show why ‘b’ is needed.
	Use shorter titles for sections, as GNU Emacs displays info poorly
	when titles are too long to fit in a line.
	Use @samp instead of @code for samples of data.
	Do not use @samp{@code{...}}; @samp{...} should suffice and
	double-nesting looks bad with Emacs.
	Omit blank lines in examples that would not be present
	in actual shell sessions.
	Quote with `` and '', not with " or with '.
	Mention dpkg --compare-versions more prominently.
	Don’t rely on "\n" being equivalent to "\\n" in shell args.
	Prefer Unicode name for hyphen-minus.

	doc: fix somewhat ambiguous date format representation
	* doc/coreutils.texi (date invocation): Remove @var{...} usage,
	as that capitalizes in the representation and thus somewhat

	a syntax check failure about redundant capitalization in @var{}.

2022-02-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	maint: suppress bogus noreturn warnings
	* configure.ac: Move the single-binary code before the
	gcc-warnings code, so that the latter can depend on the former.
	Suppress -Wsuggest-attribute=noreturn with single binaries,
	to avoid diagnostics like the following:
	  src/expr.c: In function 'single_binary_main_expr':
	  error: function might be candidate for attribute 'noreturn'

	maint: mark some _Noreturn functions
	* src/basenc.c (finish_and_exit, do_encode, do_decode):
	* src/comm.c (compare_files):
	* src/tsort.c (tsort):
	* src/uptime.c (uptime):
	Mark with _Noreturn.  Otherwise, unoptimized compilations may warn
	that the calling renamed-main function doesn't return a value,
	when !lint and when single-binary.

	df: fix memory leak
	* src/df.c (devlist_free): Remove.
	(filter_mount_list): Free all of devlist, instead of merely

	Return more-accurate error code when INTMAX_MAX < n.

	uptime: simplify -fsanitize=leak pacification
	* src/uptime.c (uptime): Exit here ...

	platforms, to simplify the mainline code.
	(main): Simplify.  Remove an IF_LINT.
	Use main_exit rather than return.

	factor: remove IF_LINT
	* src/factor.c (factor_using_squfof) [USE_SQUFOF]:
	Use plain assert (...), not IF_LINT (assert (...)).
	This code is currently never compiled or executed,
	so this is merely a symbolic cleanup.

	expand: remove IF_LINT
	* src/expand.c (expand): Remove no-longer-needed IF_LINT.

	env: simplify -fsanitize=leak pacification
	* src/env.c (unset_envvars): Remove IF_LINT code.
	(main): Use main_exit, not return.

	md5sum: remove IF_LINTs

	Use main_exit, not return.

	cut: simplify and remove an IF_LINT
	* src/cut.c (enum operating_mode, operating_mode)
	(output_delimiter_specified, cut_stream):
	Remove; no longer needed.
	(output_delimiter_default): New static var.  Code can now
	use ‘output_delimiter_string != output_delimiter_default’
	instead of ‘output_delimiter_specified’.
	(cut_file): New arg CUT_STREAM.  Caller changed.
	(main): Simplify.  Coalesce duplicate code.  Redo to avoid need
	for IF_LINT, or for the static var.  No need to xstrdup optarg.

	cut: simplify -fsanitize=leak pacification
	* src/set-fields.c (reset_fields): Remove, as it’s not needed for
	-fsanitize=leak even when ‘lint’ is defined.  All uses removed.

	cp: simplify GCC pacification
	* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Remove IF_LINT code that is
	no longer needed, as GCC has apparently gotten smarter since 2008.

	longer needed, as GCC has gotten smarter since 2005.

	tail: simplify -fsanitize=leak pacification
	Also, close a no-longer-needed file descriptor when falling
	back from inotify.
	* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Return void, not bool.  Exit
	on fatal error, or on successful completion.  Accept an extra
	argument pointing to a hash table that the caller should free on
	non-fatal error; this simplifies cleanup.  Don’t bother setting
	errno when returning.  Caller changed.
	(main): Omit no-longer-needed IF_LINT code.  Close inotify
	descriptor if inotify fails; this fixes a file descriptor leak and
	means we needn’t call inotify_rm_watch.  Use main_exit, not return.

	tac: simplify -fsanitize=leak pacification
	* src/tac.c (main) [lint]: Omit unnecessary cleanup.
	Use main_exit, not return.

	shuf: simplify -fsanitize=leak pacification

	sort: pacify -fsanitizer=leak
	* src/sort.c (pipe_fork, keycompare, sort, main):

	and unescape the string in place.  Callers changed.  This way,
	we needn’t allocate storage and thus needn’t worry about
	-fsanitizer=leak.

	seq: pacify -fsanitizer=leak
	* src/seq.c (seq_fast): If successful, exit rather than returning true.
	Callers changed.
	(main): Use main_exit, not return.

	tsort: pacify -fsanitizer=leak
	* src/tsort.c (struct item.balance): Now signed char to save space.
	(struct item.printed): New member.
	(new_item): Initialize k->printed to false.  Simplify via xzalloc.
	(scan_zeros): Use k->printed rather than nulling out string.
	(tsort): Move exiting code here ...
	(main): ... from here.
	(tsort) [lint]: Omit no-longer-needed code.  Instead, set head->printed.

	tr: pacify -fsanitizer=leak

	expr: lint cleanup, and introducing main_exit
	This introduces a new macro main_exit, which is useful
	for pacifying gcc -fsanitizer=lint and in some cases
	means we can remove some ‘IF_LINT’ and ‘ifdef lint’ code.

	cksum: use more exact selection of digest algorithms
	Use more constrained argument matching
	to improve forward compatibility and robustness.

	For example it's better that `cksum -a sha3` is _not_
	equivalent to `cksum -a sha386`, so that a user
	specifying `-a sha3` on an older cksum would not be surprised.

	Also argmatch() is used when parsing tags from lines like:
	SHA3 (filename) = abcedf....
	so it's more robust that older cksum instances to fail
	earlier in the parsing process, when parsing output from
	possible future cksum implementations that might support SHA3.

	* src/digest.c (algorithm_from_tag): Use argmatch_exact()
	to ensure we don't match abbreviated algorithms.
	(main): Likewise.
	* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Add a test case.

2022-01-30  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	mv: when installing to dir use dir-relative names
	When the destination for mv is a directory, use functions like openat
	to access the destination files, when such functions are available.
	This should be more efficient and should avoid some race conditions.
	Likewise for 'install'.
	* src/cp.c (must_be_working_directory, target_directory_operand)

	(synchronize_output): New function, split out from dd_copy.
	Update conversions_mask so synchronization is done at most once.
	(main): Do not die with the output file open, since we want to be

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	copy: remove unnecessary ‘free’
	* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Remove a ‘free’ call that does nothing

	2007-11-1608:31:15Z!jim@meyering.net.

	dd: simplify conv=swab code
	Simplify byte-swapping, so that the code no longer needs to

	All uses removed.
	(INPUT_BLOCK_SLOP): Simplify to just page_size.

	(swab_buffer): New arg SAVED_BYTE, taking the place of the old
	global variables.  Do not access BUF[-1].

	dd: improve integer overflow checking
	* src/dd.c: Prefer signed to unsigned types where either will do,
	as this helps improve checking with gcc -fsanitize=undefined.
	Limit the signed types to their intended ranges.
	(MAX_BLOCKSIZE): Don’t exceed IDX_MAX - slop either.
	(input_offset_overflow): Remove; overflow now denoted by negative.

	New test for BIGxBIG.

	shred: fix declaration typo
	* gl/lib/randint.h (randint_all_new):
	Do not declare with _GL_ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL (), as
	the arg can be a null pointer.  This fixes a typo added in
	2021-11-01T05:30:28Z!eggert@cs.ucla.edu.

	cat: prefer signed to unsigned
	* src/cat.c: Prefer signed to unsigned types
	where either will do, as they allow for better
	overflow checking at runtime.

	cat: improve style

	* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Initialize *attr_list
	before recentely-added quick return.

	cp: omit unnecessary stat of destination
	'cp A B' attempts to open B as a directory, to see whether to
	write to B/A instead of to B.  In the common case where the
	open fails with ENOENT, do not bother to stat B afterwards
	since the stat should also fail with ENOENT.
	* src/copy.c (copy_internal, copy): Change bool arg about
	nonexistent destination to a 3-way int argument.  All callers changed.

	(target_dirfd_valid): New function.
	(do_copy): Use these new functions to obtain a file descriptor
	for any target directory, and use directory-relative names

	(main): Omit no-longer-needed stat when --target-directory,
	as do_copy now does this.
	* src/ln.c (O_PATHSEARCH): Move from here ...
	* src/system.h: ... to here.
	* tests/cp/fail-perm.sh: Adjust to change in diagnostic wording,
	and add a test for --no-target-directory.

	cp: tweak internal name
	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Omit confusingly-named local new_dest, since

	maint: use minmax.h instead of rolling our own
	* gl/lib/mbsalign.c, gl/lib/randread.c, src/system.h (MAX, MIN):
	Remove; include minmax.h instead.
	* gl/modules/mbsalign, gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Add minmax.
	* src/factor.c (MIN): Remove.

	maint: add function attributes to .h files
	Add _GL_ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL, _GL_ATTRIBUTE_MALLOC,
	_GL_ATTRIBUTE_DEALLOC, _GL_ATTRIBUTE_DALLOC_FREE,
	_GL_ATTRIBUTE_RETURNS_NONNULL to .h files when appropriate.
	* gl/lib/mbsalign.h, gl/lib/randperm.h, src/chown-core.h:
	Include stdlib.h, for the benefit of _GL_ATTRIBUTE_DALLOC_FREE.
	* gl/lib/randread.c (randread_free_body): New static function.
	(randread_new, randread_free): Use it.
	* src/copy.c (valid_options): Remove assert that is no longer
	needed because it is now checked statically.

	maint: enable -Wsuggest-attribute=format
	* configure.ac (WERROR_CFLAGS): Enable -Wsuggest-attribute=format
	for lib/ and src/.
	* src/copy.c (copy_attr_error, copy_attr_allerror):
	Add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT.
	(copy_attr): Ignore -Wsuggest-attribute=format in the
	small section of code that needs it ignored.
	* src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Mark with ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT.
	(binary_operator): Omit unnecessary NULL args, pacifying
	-Wsuggest-attribute=format.

	maint: modernize attribute usage
	* src/system.h (__attribute__): Remove.  Replace all uses that
	rely on this by _GL_ATTRIBUTE_xxx or ATTRIBUTE_xxx.
	(ATTRIBUTE_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Remove.  Replace all uses by
	NODISCARD.

	maint: remove unused __attribute__ defn
	* gl/lib/randread.c (__attribute__): Remove; no longer
	used after the recent _Noreturn change.

	b2sum: simplify attribute usage
	* src/blake2/blake2.h (BLAKE2_PACKED): Simplify, and port better
	to older GCC, by using _GL_ATTRIBUTE_PACKED.

	maint: prefer attribute.h in .c files
	This will help us make the transition to C2x, where some
	attributes must come at the start of function decls.
	Leave the attributes alone in .h files for now,
	as the Gnulib tradition is to not expose attribute.h to users.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add ‘attribute’.
	* gl/lib/randperm.c, src/make-prime-list.c, src/system.h:
	Include attribute.h.
	* gl/lib/strnumcmp.c (strnumcmp): Remove _GL_ATTRIBUTE_PURE here,
	as this belongs in the .h file.
	* gl/lib/strnumcmp.h (strnumcmp): Add _GL_ATTRIBUTE_PURE here.
	* src/sort.c (human_numcompare, numcompare): Now ATTRIBUTE_PURE;
	discovered due to strnumcmp.h change.

	maint: modernize README-{hacking,prereq}

2021-10-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	cp: revert unnecessary FreeBSD workaround
	That was a false alarm due to a bug in FreeBSD 9.1 truss;
	see Pádraig Brady’s report (Bug#51433#29).
	* src/copy.c (lseek_copy, infer_scantype): Don’t bother checking
	whether lseek returned -1.  This doesn’t entirely revert the
	previous change, as it keeps the code simplification of the
	previous change while reverting the check for -1.

	cp: defend better against FreeBSD 9.1 zfs bug
	Problem reported by Pádraig Brady (Bug#51433#14).
	* src/copy.c (lseek_copy, infer_scantype): Report an error if
	lseek with SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE returns less than -1,
	as this is an lseek bug.

2021-10-22  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	doc: say that printf(1) is preferred over echo(1)
	* src/echo.c (usage): Say printf(1) is preferred
	due to being more standard and robust.
	* man/echo.x [SEE ALSO]: Reference printf(1).
	* doc/coreutils.texi (echo invocation): Mention in the
	summary that echo is not robust when outputting
	any string, and that printf is preferred.
	Also expand on the examples showing how to
	output a single '-n' string.
	Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/51311

	main timeout duration is 0.
	Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/51128

	timeout: ensure --foreground -k exits with status 137
	* src/timeout.c (main): Propagate the killed status from the child.
	* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Remove the
	description of the --foreground specific handling of SIGKILL,
	now that it's consistent with the default mode of operation.
	* tests/misc/timeout.sh: Add a test case.
	* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
	Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/51135

2021-10-11  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	doc: timeout --foreground: add clarification on exit status
	* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Add detail on

	Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/51135

2021-10-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	sort: fix unlikely bug when '\377' < 0
	* gl/lib/strintcmp.c (strintcmp): Don’t assume that the input
	cannot contain ((char) -1), as this equals '\377' when char is
	signed (assuming 8-bit char).
	* src/sort.c (decimal_point): Now char, to make it clear
	that it’s always in char range now.
	(NON_CHAR): New constant.
	(traverse_raw_number): Return char not unsigned char;
	this is simpler and could be faster.  All callers changed.
	(main): Do not convert decimal_point and thousands_sep to
	unsigned char, as this can mishandle comparisons on
	machines where char is signed and the input data contains
	((char) -1).  Use NON_CHAR, not -1, as an out-of-range value for
	thousands_sep.

2021-10-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	maint: switch to C11-style _Noreturn
	Use C11-style _Noreturn instead of the old ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN
	macro.  This pacifies clang on OpenBSD 6.9, which otherwise
	complains "'noreturn' function does return" in some places.
	* gl/lib/randread.c, src/system.h (ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN):
	Remove.  All uses either removed as GCC no longer needs them, or
	changed to C11-style _Noreturn since Gnulib arranges for _Noreturn
	globally nowadays.

	ls: port to OpenBSD
	Problem reported by Brian Callahan (Bug#50972).
	* src/ls.c (decode_switches): Don’t assume __GNUC_PREREQ.

2021-09-25  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	tests: cp/sparse-perf: make more robust and add zfs comments
	* init.cfg (seek_data_capable_): Add a timeout to ensure failure for
	slow lseek(...SEEK_DATA) calls (even if that syscall isn't interrupted).
	* tests/cp/sparse-perf.sh: Run the SEEK_DATA check on the
	1TiB empty file to exclude both FreeBSD 9.1 which takes 35s,
	and ZFS which requires a delay of about 5s between file creation
	and use of SEEK_DATA to correctly determine it's empty (return ENXIO).
	Also remove the stat size checks as they invalidate the test
	due to cp never writing data due to it being always zeros,
	and thus converted to holes in the output.

2021-09-24  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	chmod: fix exit status when ignoring symlinks
	* src/chmod.c: Reorder enum so CH_NOT_APPLIED

	tests: sparse-perf: avoid false failure
	* tests/cp/sparse-perf.sh: Avoid the case where
	we saw SEEK_DATA take 35s to return a result
	against a 1TB sparse file.  This happened on
	a FreeBSD 9.1 VM at least.
	Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.

	cksum: fix -a crc on 64 bit big endian systems
	* src/cksum.c (crc_sum_stream): On sparc64 for example,
	a crc of 0 was printed due to mismatch in size of
	variable copied between generator and output functions.
	uint_fast32_t is generally 64 bits on 64 bit systems,
	so we copy through an int to ensure we don't use the wrong
	end of a 64 bit variable.
	Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe

2021-09-21  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	tail: fix detection of closed stdout on macOS
	* bootstrap.conf: We only need poll on Linux and AIX
	where poll is not replaced.  Also resinstate dependence
	on select so we can use it unconditionally.
	* src/tail.c (check_output_alive): Reinstate use of select()
	by default as poll was seen to be ineffective for this
	application on macOS.
	Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/50714

	maint: clean up c++ style comments
	* src/expand-common.h: Remove commented variables.

2021-09-20  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	tests: date-debug: avoid a false failure on solaris
	* tests/misc/date-debug.sh: Use a dynamic time format,

	Fixes "extern inline" and "rpl_free" issues.

	doc: fix --help formatting for checksum utils
	* src/digest.c (usage): Indicate that --length and --algorithm
	require arguments.  Emit corresponding emit_mandatory_arg_note().
	Use consistent alignment.

	cksum: support more transparent emulation of older utils
	* src/digest.c: Allow using the --untagged option with --check,
	so that `cksum -a md5 --untagged` used to emulate md5sum for example,
	may be augmented with the --check option.  Also support the --tag
	option with cksum, to allow overriding a previous --untagged setting.
	* doc/coreutils.texi: Adjust accordingly.
	* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Likewise.

	tests: avoid rare race in tail-2/F-vs-rename.sh
	* tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.sh: Keep stdout and stderr separate,
	so that interspersion doesn't impact regex checks.  Also wait
	for each file's data to be printed to avoid multiple writes
	to a file to be printed in a single iteration, which would
	impact the regex checks.  Also we refactor the check function,
	rather than repeatedly redefining variations.

	tests: fix rare false failure in tail-2/F-vs-rename
	This is wrong fix really, as only introducing delay I think.

	* tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.sh: Avoid a rare false failure
	due to a race in the test.  Now wait until tail has noticed
	that b is replaced before writing to a, so that the subsequent
	write of "y" to b will be displayed independently from
	current contents of b ("x").

2021-09-17  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	tests: port removed-directory test to FreeBSD
	* tests/ls/removed-directory.sh: On FreeBSD 9.1 at least,

	strings, but those are used only when built from initialized members.

2021-09-16  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	digest: ignore empty lines when checking

	* tests/misc/sync.sh: Likewise.
	* tests/misc/yes.sh: Likewise.

	cksum: fix --check with non tagged format checksums
	* src/digest.c: Always set the digest_length, so that
	we check the correct number of hex digits when parsing
	non tagged format checksums.
	* tests/misc/cksum-a.sh: Add a test case.  Also fix
	up this test which was ineffective due to fail=1
	being set in a subshell and ignored.

	split: avoid NULL + 1
	* src/split.c (lines_chunk_split): Don’t add to a null pointer.
	It’s undefined behavior, and it’s unnecessarily confusing
	regardless.

2021-09-15  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	digest: support windows format checksum files
	Support checksum files with CRLF line endings,
	which is a common gotcha for using --check on windows,
	or with checksum files generated on windows.
	Note we escape \r here to support the original coreutils format
	(with file name at EOL), and file names with literal
	\r characters as the last character of their name.

	* src/digest.c (filename_unescape): Convert \\r -> \r.
	(print_filename): Escape \r -> \\r.
	(output_file): Detect \r chars in file names.

	cksum: operate in binary mode only
	This only practically matters on windows.
	But given there are separate text handling options in cygwin,
	keep the interface simple, and avoid exposing the
	confusing binary/text difference here.

	* doc/coreutils.texi (md5sum invocation): Mention that
	--binary and --text are not supported by the cksum command.
	* src/digest.c: Set flag to use binary mode by default.
	(output_file): Don't distinguish text and binary modes with
	' ' and '*', and just use ' ' always.

2021-09-15  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	cksum: use --tag format by default
	This format is a better default, since it results in simpler usage,
	as you don't need to specify --tag on generation or -a on
	checking invocations.  Also it's a more general format supporting
	mixed and length adjusted digests.

	* doc/coreutils.texi (cksum invocation): Document a new --untagged
	option, to use the older coreutils format.
	(md5sum invocation): Mention that cksum doesn't support --tag.

	digest: support -length specifiers on all digest tags
	This will be generally useful going forward, for sha3-256 etc.

	* src/digest.c: Rename b2_length to digest_length, and
	adjust/simplify the code to operate on this for both
	b2sum and cksum -a blake2b.

2021-09-15  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	cksum: support digest detection for tagged format
	Support `cksum --check FILE` without having to specify a digest
	algorithm, allowing for more generic file check instructions.
	This also supports mixed digest checksum files, supporting
	more robust multi digest checks.

	* src/digest.c (algorithm_from_tag): A new function to

	sum: handle EOVERFLOW for too large inputs
	* src/sum.c (bsd_sum_stream): Detect overflow when updating length.
	(sysv_sum_stream): Likewise.

2021-09-15  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	digest: refactor sum(1) into digest.c
	Since digest will be providing all digest functionality,
	refactor sum.c into it.

	to support cksum(1), and sum(1) which output the
	length as part of their output.

2021-09-15  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	maint: rename md5sum.c to more general digest.c
	md5sum.c will be the base for all digest functions,
	so rename accordingly.

	* src/md5sum.c: Rename to ...

	not numeric IDs.
	* man/whoami.x: Likewise.
	* man/logname.x: Reference getlogin(3).
	* src/logname.c: Clarify that it prints the login name,

	dircolors: add *direct* to TERM matching
	Search for "direct color" at:
	https://invisible-island.net/xterm/terminfo.html

	* src/dircolors.hin: Add *direct* to match terminals that
	support direct colors (24-bit color / TrueColor).
	The trailing * will match entries like xterm-direct2.

	tests: stat-vs-dirent.sh: avoid a false failure
	* tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent.sh: Skip the test if we can't stat(1),
	as the file may have been removed, or have a malformed name
	due to '\n' etc. in the file name.

	tests: add new stdin reading programs to tty-eof test
	* tests/misc/tty-eof.pl: Add b2sum and basenc.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest
	* gnulib: Update to latest. This fixes a gnulib test failure in base64,
	among other fixes.
	* cfg.mk: Disable sc_indent as auto indent is too invasive for now.

	tests: narrow scope of faulty join args
	* tests/misc/join.pl: Only test invalid-j with an invalid -j field,
	not with missing operands as well.

2021-08-31  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	doc: indicate the default algorithm in the sum(1) man page
	* src/sum.c (usage): Indicate that -r (BSD algorithm) is the default.

2021-08-31  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	sum: always output a file name if one passed
	Adjust to output the file name if any name parameter is passed.
	This is consistent with sum -s, cksum, and sum implementations
	on other platforms.  This should not cause significant compat
	issues, as multiple fields are already output, and so already
	need to be parsed.

	* src/sum.c (bsd_sum_file): Output the file name
	if any name parameter is passed.
	* tests/misc/sum.pl: Adjust accordingly.
	* doc/coreutils.texi (sum invocation): Likewise.
	* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

2021-08-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	tests: port better to NetBSD
	* tests/misc/help-version.sh: Test that /dev/full causes
	shell printf to fail.  This ports better to NetBSD 9.88.46,
	where it doesn’t.  Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.

	tests: merge help-version changes back from gzip
	* tests/misc/help-version.sh: Merge gzip-related changes
	back from gzip/tests/help-version.  This fixes problems
	when TERM is not 'dumb', and should simplify maintenance.

	basenc: fix bug49741: using wrong decoding buffer length
	Emil Lundberg <lundberg.emil@gmail.com> reports in
	https://bugs.gnu.org/49741 about a 'basenc --base64 -d' decoding bug.
	The input buffer length was not divisible by 3, resulting in
	decoding errors.

	* NEWS: Mention fix.
	* src/basenc.c (DEC_BLOCKSIZE): Change from 1024*5 to 4200 (35*3*5*8)
	which is divisible by 3,4,5,8 - satisfying both base32 and base64;
	Use compile-time verify() macro to enforce the above.
	* tests/misc/basenc.pl: Add test.

2021-08-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	basenc: prefer signed to unsigned integers
	This patch modifies basenc to prefer signed integers to
	unsigned, as signed are less error-prone.
	This patch also updates Gnulib to to latest, which updates Gnulib’s
	base32 and base64 modules to prefer signed to unsigned integers.
	* src/basenc.c: Include idx.h.
	(struct base2_decode_context): Use unsigned char, not unsigned
	for an octet that must fit in an unsigned char.
	(base_encode, struct base_decode_context)
	(base64_decode_ctx_wrapper, prepare_inbuf, base64url_encode)

	(base16_decode_ctx, z85_encode, Z85_HI_CTX_TO_32BIT_VAL)
	(z85_decoding, z85_decode_ctx, base2msbf_encode)
	(base2lsbf_encode, base2lsbf_decode_ctx, base2msbf_decode_ctx)
	(wrap_write, do_encode, do_decode, main):
	Prefer signed integers to unsigned.
	(main): Treat extremely large wrap columns as if they were
	infinite; that’s good enough.  Since we’re now using xstrtoimax,
	this allows ‘-w -0’ (same as ‘-w 0’).
	* tests/misc/base64.pl (gen_tests): -w-0 is no longer an error.

2021-08-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@fb.com>

	maint: avoid new syntax-check failure
	find-mount-point.h rightly includes <stdlib.h> for its use
	of _GL_ATTRIBUTE_DEALLOC_FREE, which uses free, yet that new
	inclusion provoked a syntax-check failure. Exempt this header
	file as we've done for others.
	* cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_system_h_headers):
	Add find-mount-point.h to the regexp.
	(sc_system_h_headers): Use grep -E, for a more readable regexp.

	tests: avoid reflinks when testing SEEK_DATA logic
	This better tests the SEEK_HOLE logic which
	replaced the original fiemap hole identification logic.
	Also it avoids a false failure in sparse-2.sh
	on reflink supporting file systems, where we
	try to correlate the file sizes produced by cp and dd.

	* tests/cp/sparse-2.sh: s/cp/cp --reflink=never/

	Add _GL_ATTRIBUTE_MALLOC and _GL_ATTRIBUTE_DEALLOC_FREE.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	maint: use clearerr on stdin when appropriate
	This is so that commands like ‘fmt - -’ read from stdin

	POSIX does not guarantee this.  Coalesce duplicate diagnostic
	calls.
	* src/blake2/b2sum.c (main):
	* src/fmt.c (main, fmt):
	Report read error, even if it's merely fclose failure.
	* src/fmt.c: Include die.h.
	(fmt): New arg FILE.  Close input (reporting error) if not stdin.
	All callers changed.
	* src/ptx.c (swallow_file_in_memory): Clear stdin's EOF flag.
	* src/sort.c (xfclose): Remove unnecessary feof call.

	doc: spell out stdin, stdout, stderr

	Problem reported by Michael Debertol (Bug#50070).
	* NEWS: Mention the fix.
	* src/chmod.c (struct change_status): New struct, replacing the
	old enum Change_status.  All uses changed.
	(describe_change): Distinguish between cases depending on
	whether 'stat' or its equivalent succeeded.  Report a line
	of output even if 'stat' failed, as that matches the documentation.
	Rework to avoid casts.
	(process_file): Do not output nonsense modes computed from
	uninitialized storage, removing a couple of IF_LINTs.  Simplify by
	defaulting to CH_NO_STAT.

2021-08-14  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	maint: update .gitignore
	* .gitignore: ignore new lib/malloc gnulib directory.

	stat info that became wrong after the following open.
	* NEWS: Mention the fix (bug#50012).
	* src/df.c (automount_stat_err): New function.
	This fixes the hang on fifos in a better way, by using O_NONBLOCK.
	(main): Use it.

	cat: with -E fix handling of \r\n spanning buffers
	We must delay handling when \r is the last character

	may or may not be \n.

	* src/cat.c (pending_cr): A new global to record whether
	the last character processed (in -E mode) is '\r'.
	(cat): Honor pending_cr when processing the start of the buffer.
	(main): Honor pending_cr if no more files to process.
	* tests/misc/cat-E.sh: Add test cases.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	uniq: pacify GCC -fanalyzer
	Pacify GCC 11.1 -fanalyzer.
	* src/uniq.c (check_file): Use simpler test to check whether this
	is the first time through the loop.  Although the old test was
	correct, the new one is easier to understand and perhaps a tiny
	bit more efficient.

	numfmt: omit unnecessary pointer test
	Caught by GCC 11.1 -fanalyzer.
	* src/numfmt.c (simple_strtod_int): Remove unnecessary test of
	*endptr vs NULL.  Presumably this was a typo and **endptr was
	intended instead of *endptr, but an **endptr test is also
	unnecessary since c_isdigit (0) returns false.

	doc: modernize usage of “disk” and “core”
	In documentation and comments, don’t assume that secondary storage
	devices are disk devices.  Similarly, don’t assume that main memory
	uses magnetic cores, which became obsolete in the 1970s.
	* src/du.c (usage):
	* src/ls.c (usage):
	* src/shred.c (usage): Reword to avoid “disk” in usage messages.

	doc: improve ls documentation
	* doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Document implementation more
	closely.  Be more consistent about style.  Omit some needless words.
	* src/ls.c (usage): Don’t overdocument -f, as the details were wrong.
	Omit -1 advice as it’s a bit obsolete now that we have --zero and
	is a bit much for --usage output anyway.

	ls: rename --null to --zero (Bug#49716)
	* NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi (General output formatting):
	* src/ls.c (usage):
	Document this.
	* src/ls.c (ZERO_OPTION): Rename from NULL_OPTION.
	All uses changed.
	(long_options): Rename --null to --zero.
	(dired_dump_obstack, main, print_dir): Use '\n' instead of
	eolbyte where eolbyte must equal '\n'.
	(decode_switches): Decode --zero instead of --null.
	--zero also implies -1, -N, --color=none, --show-control-chars.
	Use easier-to-decipher code to set ‘format’ and ‘dired’.
	Reject attempts to combine --dired and --zero.
	* tests/local.mk: Adjust to test script renaming.
	* tests/ls/zero-option.sh: Rename from tests/ls/null-option.sh,
	and test --zero instead of --null.

	ls: compute defaults more lazily
	* src/ls.c (enum time_type, enum sort_type, enum indicator_style)
	(enum Dereference_symlink, ignore_mode):
	Put ‘= 0’ after default values, since the code relies
	on static storage defaulting to zero.
	(enum sort_type): Reorder so that -1 can be used to represent unset.
	(main): Test print_with_color after parse_ls_color may have reset it.
	(decode_line_length): Return the line length instead of setting
	static storage.  All uses changed.  Treat line lengths exceeding
	PTRDIFF_MAX as infinite, to avoid pointer-subtraction glitches.
	(stdout_isatty): New function, to avoid calling isatty twice.
	(decode_switches): Calculate defaults more lazily, to avoid using
	syscalls or getenv during startup unless the results are more
	likely to be needed.  Use -1 to indicate options that haven’t been
	set on the command line yet.  Move print_with_color test from
	here to ‘main’.  Suppress bogus GCC warning.
	(getenv_quoting_style): Return the quoting style instead of
	setting static storage.
	(init_column_info): New arg MAX_COLS, to avoid recalculating it.
	Caller changed.

	Output eolbyte instead of '\n'.
	(decode_switches): Decode --null.
	* tests/ls/null-option.sh: New file.
	* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it.

	ls: port to wider off_t, uid_t, gid_t
	* src/ls.c (dired_pos): Now off_t, not size_t, since it counts
	output file offsets.
	(dired_dump_obstack): This obstack's file offsets are now
	off_t, not size_t.
	(format_user_or_group, format_user_or_group_width):
	ID arg is now uintmax_t, not unsigned long, since uid_t and
	gid_t values might exceed ULONG_MAX.
	(format_user_or_group_width): Use snprintf with NULL instead of
	sprintf with a discarded buffer.  This avoids a stack buffer,
	and so should be safer.

	ls: demacroize
	Prefer functions or constants to macros where either will do.
	That’s cleaner, and nowadays there’s no performance reason to
	prefer macros.  All uses changed.
	* src/ls.c (INITIAL_TABLE_SIZE, MIN_COLUMN_WIDTH):
	Now constants instead of macros.
	(file_or_link_mode): New function, replacing the old macro
	FILE_OR_LINK_MODE.
	(dired_outbyte): New function, replacing the old macro DIRED_PUTCHAR.
	(dired_outbuf): New function, replacing the old macro DIRED_FPUTS.
	(dired_outstring): New function, replacing the old macro
	DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL.
	(dired_indent): New function, replacing the old macro DIRED_INDENT.
	(push_current_dired_pos): New function, replacing the old macro
	PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS.
	(assert_matching_dev_ino): New function, replacing the old macro
	ASSERT_MATCHING_DEV_INO.
	(do_stat, do_lstat, stat_for_mode, stat_for_ino, fstat_for_ino)
	(signal_init, signal_restore, cmp_ctime, cmp_mtime, cmp_atime)
	(cmp_btime, cmp_size, cmp_name, cmp_extension)
	(fileinfo_name_width, cmp_width, cmp_version):
	No longer inline; compilers can deduce this well enough nowadays.
	(main): Protect unused assert with ‘if (false)’ rather than
	commenting it out, so that the compiler checks the code.
	(print_dir): Output the space and newline in the same buffer
	as the human-readable number they surround.
	(dirfirst_check): New function, replacing the old macro
	DIRFIRST_CHECK.  Simplify by using subtraction.
	(off_cmp): New function, replacing the old macro longdiff.
	(print_long_format): No need to null-terminate the string now.
	(format_user_or_group): Let printf count the bytes.

	ls: simplify sprintf usage
	* src/ls.c (format_user_or_group_width, print_long_format):
	Use return value from sprintf instead of calling strlen on
	the resulting buffer, or inferring the length some other way.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	maint: fix white space

	env: fix usage typo
	* src/env.c (usage): Fix pluralization typo.

	df: fix duplicated remote entries due to bind mounts
	As originally reported in <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1962515>,
	df invoked without -a printed duplicated entries for NFS mounts
	of bind mounts.  This is a regression from commit v8.25-54-g1c17f61ef99,
	which introduced the use of a hash table.

	The proposed patch makes sure that the devlist entry seen the last time
	is used for comparison when eliminating duplicated mount entries.  This
	way it worked before introducing the hash table.

	Patch co-authored by Roberto Bergantinos.

	* src/ls.c (struct devlist): Introduce the seen_last pointer.
	(devlist_for_dev): Return the devlist entry seen the last time if found.
	(filter_mount_list): Remember the devlist entry seen the last time for
	each hashed item.

2021-06-21  Pádraig Brady  <P@draigBrady.com>

	stat: support more device number representations
	In preparation for changing the default device number
	representation (to decomposed decimal), provide more
	formatting options for device numbers.

	These new (FreeBSD compat) formatting options are added:

	   %Hd  major device number in decimal (st_dev)
	   %Ld  minor device number in decimal (st_dev)
	   %Hr  major device type in decimal (st_rdev)
	   %Lr  minor device type in decimal (st_rdev)
	   %r   (composed) device type in decimal (st_rdev)
	   %R   (composed) device type in hex (st_rdev)

	* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Document new formats.
	* src/stat.c (print_it): Handle the new %H and %L modifiers.
	(print_statfs): Adjust to passing the format as two chars
	rather than an int.  Using an int was introduced in commit db42ae78,
	but using separate chars is cleaner and more extensible.
	(print_stat): Likewise.  Handle any modifiers and the new 'r' format.
	(usage): Document the new formats.
	* tests/misc/stat-fmt.sh: Add a test case for new modifiers.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest
	Coreutils mistakenly did not list xstrndup as a module
	that it depends on directly.  When the latest Gnulib removed
	the dirname module's dependency on xstrndup, this mistake
	caused coreutils to not build.  Since all of Coreutils's
	uses of xstrndup know the string length, xmemdup0 is a better
	match for what's needed.  Since the size args are typically
	signed or derived from subtracting pointers, the new Gnulib
	ximemdup0 function is a better match yet.
	So, use ximemdup0 instead of xstrndup.
	* src/cut.c, src/dircolors.c, src/expand-common.c, src/expand.c:

	copy: disallow copy_file_range() on Linux kernels before 5.3
	copy_file_range() before Linux kernel release 5.3 had many issues,
	as described at https://lwn.net/Articles/789527/, which was
	referenced from https://lwn.net/Articles/846403/; a more general
	article discussing the generality of copy_file_range().

	copy: handle system security config issues with copy_file_range()
	* src/copy.c (sparse_copy): Upon EPERM from copy_file_range(),
	fall back to a standard copy, which will give a more accurate
	error as to whether the issue is with the source or destination.
	Also this will avoid the issue where seccomp or apparmor are
	not configured to handle copy_file_range(), in which case

	ls: cache name width determination
	This is especially important now for --sort=width,
	as that can greatly increase how often this
	expensive quote_name_width() function is called per file.

	This also helps the default invocation of ls,
	or specifically the --format={across,vertical} cases
	(when --width is not set to 0),
	to avoid two calls to this function per file.

	Note the only case where we later compute the width,
	is for --format=commas.  That's only done once though,
	so we leave the computation close to use to
	maximize hardware caching.

	* src/ls.c (struct fileinfo): Add a WIDTH member to cache
	the screen width of the file name.
	(update_current_files_info): Set the WIDTH members for cases

	rm: do not skip files upon failure to remove an empty dir
	When removing a directory fails for some reason, and that directory
	is empty, the rm_fts code gets the return value of the excise call
	confused with the return value of its earlier call to prompt,
	causing fts_skip_tree to be called again and the next file
	that rm would otherwise have deleted to survive.

	having successfully removed it.

	* po/POTFILES.in: Readd src/selinux.c since we now have

2020-11-22  Bernhard Voelker  <mail@bernhard-voelker.de>

	maint: minor cleanup

	maint: port from matchpathcon to selabel_lookup
	Ubuntu 20.10 is using a newer version of libselinux that
	complains that matchpathcon is obsolete.  Rewrite the code
	that it uses the recommended selabel_lookup instead.
	* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Do not check for
	matchpathcon_init_prefix, as it is no longer used.
	* src/copy.c (set_file_security_ctx): Omit process_local arg,
	as it is equivalent to !x->set_security_context.  All callers changed.
	* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): set_security_context is now of
	type struct selabel_handle *, not bool.  All uses changed.
	* src/cp.c, src/install.c, src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c:
	* src/mv.c: Include selinux/label.h.

	* src/install.c (matchpathcon_init_prefix): Remove; now unused.
	(get_labeling_handle): New static function.
	(setdefaultfilecon, main): Use it.
	(setdefaultfilecon): Do something regardless of
	ENABLE_MATCHPATHCON, which seems to be a revenant macro.
	(setdefaultfilecon): Use selabel_lookup instead of the obsolescent
	matchpathcon.  Report an error unless it fails due to ENOENT.

	(restorecon): Don’t call ‘error’; that’s the caller’s job.
	Use HAVE_SELINUX_LABEL_H, not HAVE_SELINUX_SELINUX_H,
	in case there is some weird system with the former but not the latter.
	* src/selinux.h (struct selinux_handle): Add forward decl.

	build: port to Solaris 10
	* src/local.mk (src_ln_LDADD, src_mktemp_LDADD, src_tac_LDADD):

	maint: avoid strncat warning on GCC
	GCC 10.1.1 without optimization gives:

	  error: ‘strncat’ argument 2 declared attribute ‘nonstring’
	    [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
	    strncat (comment, UT_ID (utmp_ent), utmpsize);

	Note the strncat man page says that:
	  "src does not need to be null-terminated
	   if it contains n or more bytes."
	And the POSIX spec says that the second (source) parameter
	is an array not a string.
	So I think it's incorrect for strncat to require src be a string type.
	This constraint seems to be being added to the gcc builtin strncat,
	as specifiying -fno-builtin also avoids the warning.
	Note specifying any optimization level also avoids the warning.

	* src/who.c (make_id_equals_comment): Avoid the issue by using
	stpcpy + stzncpy, instead of strcpy + strncat.
	This pattern is used elsewhere in who.c

	maint: avoid signed integer overflows
	Since -LONG_MIN results in LONG_MIN again, the operation itself is
	a signed integer overflow.

	This can be observed with the following calls (best if compiled
	with -ftrapv or -fsanitize=undefined):

	  $ numfmt --padding=-9223372036854775808
	  $ seq 1e-9223372036854775808

	Technically, the change in seq "reduces" the precision, but a double
	or long double that small would be represented as 0 anyway.

	* src/numfmt.c: Explicitly disallow --padding=LONG_MIN.
	* src/seq.c: Treat 1e$LONG_MIN as 1e-$LONG_MAX.

	maint: use getrandom, not getentropy
	This makes for one Gnulib module less, and at runtime there’s
	typically just one getrandom syscall instead of several for large
	nonces.
	* gl/lib/randread.c: Include sys/random.h instead of sys/time.h
	and unistd.h.

	Depend on getrandom, not getentropy.
	* src/shred.c (main):
	* src/shuf.c (main):
	* src/sort.c (random_md5_state_init):
	Say "getrandom" rather than "getentropy" in (unlikely) diagnostic.

	maint: use getentropy and new tempname modules
	Update gnulib submodule to latest and use its new features.
	Gnulib’s new getentropy module means coreutils can now assume
	getentropy instead of approximating it, badly in some cases.
	Gnulib’s improvements to the tempname module mean coreutils no
	longer needs to maintain private patches.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove gettimeofday.
	* gl/lib/randread.c (NAME_OF_NONCE_DEVICE): Remove.
	(get_nonce): Return success indicator.  Remove bytes_bound arg.
	All callers changed.  Rewrite by using getentropy instead of
	reading the nonce device and falling back on gettimeofday.
	Fail if getentropy fails.
	(randread_new): Return NULL (setting errno) if get_nonce fails.

	* src/shuf.c (main):
	* src/sort.c (random_md5_state_init):
	Diagnose the new form of randread_new failures: randread_new can
	fail now when !random_source, meaning getentropy failed.

	echo: pacify Oracle Studio 12.6
	* src/echo.c (main): Don’t assign pointer to bool.

	tests: fix removed-directory test
	The previous attempt to skip that test on NFS (commit 4181fc518362)
	made the test fail; it introduced two problems:
	a) In the good case, i.e., when the subshell returns with exit status 0,
	the test ran into framework_failure_.
	b) As the subshell also runs with 'set -x', the later comparison of
	/dev/null with 'err' would fail.

	* tests/ls/removed-directory.sh: Revert to the style without subshell,
	and add 'test -d .' to verify that 'ls' can read the removed dir.
