* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
* tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
* tests/mv/i-5: New file.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
* src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
(process_dir): New function.
(main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
* src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
(struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
mode_bits.
(make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
(process_dir): New function.
(main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
that callees get the values.
* tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
this change.
* tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
change for 5.3.0.
* NEWS: Say the above.
* src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
"mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
* src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
* tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
* tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
" (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
* NEWS: Report this bug fix.
* src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
(copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
* tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
no differently than regular directories on a file system with
dirent.d_type support.
* NEWS: Say the above.
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
we know it is a directory.
Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
* tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
* tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
* tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
* tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
* tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): df exits nonzero if it outpus
nothing.
* src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
a boolean.
(show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
Print the header if this is the first output.
(main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
* tests/misc/df: New file.
stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
Also exercises the new df feature, below.
of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
changing their owner or group.
information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers.
You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623',
for example, since the default format now has the same effect.
seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.

* tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
* src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
(usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
(main): Handle the new option.
* tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
* tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
* src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
(cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
Write any pending output before returning.

* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
