It's been over 3 months since the last test release, and there have
been pretty many changes, so expect some instability.
Finally, here's a test release with improved file system traversal code
for du, chgrp, chmod, and chown. All of those had problems due to their
prior use of nftw and full path names. Now they all use fts and are
careful not to form full path names (because you can't stat anything
longer than PATH_MAX). As a result, the ch* functions are much more
efficient.
I've fixed fts.c to do proper cycle detection. For du, it does strict
(detect immediately) checking, but for chgrp, chmod, and chown, it uses
a cheaper mechanism for lazy cycle detection.
I expect that some people will complain about Paul's change
that makes ls -l (and ls -g, etc) field widths data dependent.
Don't listen to them: any scripts that are affected weren't
portable to begin with.
Currently these files are available only on SourceForge.
Happy holidays :-)
Jim

NEWS
* Major changes in release 5.1.0 (2003-12-21):
** New features
When given -l and similar options, ls now adjusts the output column
widths to fit the data, so that output lines are shorter and have
columns that line up better. This may adversely affect shell
scripts that expect fixed-width columns, but such shell scripts were
not portable anyway, even with old GNU ls where the columns became
ragged when a datum was too wide.
chgrp, chmod, and chown can now process (with -R) hierarchies of virtually
unlimited depth. Before, they would fail to operate on any file they
encountered with a relative name of length PATH_MAX (often 4096) or longer.
chgrp, chmod, chown, and rm accept the new options:
--preserve-root, --no-preserve-root (default)
chgrp and chown now accept POSIX-mandated -L, -H, and -P options
du can now process hierarchies of virtually unlimited depth.
Before, du was limited by the user's stack size and it would get a
stack overflow error (often a segmentation fault) when applied to
a hierarchy of depth around 30,000 or larger.
du works even when run from an inaccessible directory
du -D now dereferences all symlinks specified on the command line,
not just the ones that reference directories
du now accepts -P (--no-dereference), for compatibility with du
of NetBSD and for consistency with e.g., chown and chgrp
du's -H option will soon have the meaning required by POSIX
(--dereference-args, aka -D) rather then the current meaning of --si.
Now, using -H elicits a warning to that effect.
du accepts a new option, -0/--null, to make it produce NUL-terminated
output lines
** Bug fixes
printf, seq, tail, and sleep now parse floating-point operands
and options in the C locale. POSIX requires this for printf.
od -c -w9999999 no longer segfaults
csplit no longer reads from freed memory (dumping core on some systems)
csplit would mistakenly exhaust virtual memory in some cases
ls --width=N (for very large N) is no longer subject to an address
arithmetic bug that could result in bounds violations.
ls --width=N (with -x or -C) no longer allocates more space
(potentially much more) than necessary for a given directory.
dd `unblock' and `sync' may now be combined (e.g., dd conv=unblock,sync)

2003-11-06 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Use `sizeof *var' rather than
hard-coding `sizeof FILE*'.
2003-11-05 Dennis Smit <address@hidden>
* src/wc.c (main): Free `fstatus' so there is no confusion about
whether it's leaked or not.
* src/who.c (who): Likewise for `utmp_buf'.
2003-11-05 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Fix 'cut' problems with size_t overflow and unsigned int.
More generally, resize integer variables to fit use more precisely.

* Use autoconf-2.58. Regenerate dependent files.
* src/tr.c (spec_init): Fix typo in last change.
* src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Cast NULL to `(char *)' in
call to variadic version_etc function, so that it works even on systems
for which sizeof char* != sizeof int.
* src/true.c (main): Likewise.
* basename.c, chroot.c, cksum.c, dd.c, dirname.c, echo.c, expr.c:

A similar problem was reported by Harti Brandt in
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2003-10/msg00320.html.
* src/users.c (users): Free `utmp_buf' explicitly so that people
don't mistake this for a real leak.

* src/tac.c (memrchr): Remove #if-0'd function.
(tac_stdin_to_mem): Clean up #if-0'd code.
* src/od.c (decode_format_string): Remove unnecessary casts.

(main): Call decode_format_string rather than decode_one_format,
now that `spec' may be NULL.
* src/chmod.c (AUTHORS): Add my name.
* src/split.c (next_file_name): Use `sizeof *var' rather than
hard-coding `sizeof size_t'.
* src/sort.c (new_key): Use xzalloc, not xcalloc (1, ...).

Don't fail when run with VERBOSE=yes.
* tests/chgrp/basic: Do `set +x' before starting the subshell
from which we invoke chgrp. Otherwise, the output from the
VERBOSE=yes-induced `set -x' would result in spurious differences.
Reported by Russel Coker via Michael Stone.
2003-10-19 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
chmod now uses fts to perform a directory traversal when -R is
specified. Before, it operated on full path names, and as such
would encounter the PATH_MAX (often 4096) limit.
* src/chmod.c: Include "xfts.h".
(process_file): Rename from change_file_mode.
Adapt to be used with fts.
(process_files): New function.
2003-10-18 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>

* who.c, whoami.c, yes.c (AUTHORS): Revert the WRITTEN_BY/AUTHORS change
of 2003-09-19. Now, AUTHORS is a comma-separated list of strings.
Update the call to parse_long_options so that `AUTHORS, NULL' are the
last parameters.
* src/true.c (main): Append NULL to version_etc argument list.
* src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Likewise.
2003-10-17 Andreas Schwab <address@hidden>
* tests/mk-script: Get $srcdir from first parameter instead of
hardcoding it.
(main): Update usage.
* tests/Makefile.am.in ($(srcdir)/$x-tests): Pass $(srcdir) as
first argument of mk-script.
($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Likewise. Prepend $(srcdir) to target.
2003-10-17 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/mv.c (usage): Tweak descriptions of -i and -f so that the
generated `man' page is more readable. Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.

* src/chown-core.c (chown_files): Likewise.
2003-10-16 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/chgrp.c (main): Simply assign to bit_flags.
Don't bother with bit arithmetic.
* src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
Rename a couple of local variables.
Remove unnecessary casts.
* src/tail.c (start_bytes): Rename local, remainder, to avoid
gcc's warning about shadowing a global.
2003-10-15 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
chown and chgrp now accept POSIX-mandated -H, -L, -P options and
use fts to perform a directory traversal when -R is specified.
Before, they operated on full path names, and as such would
encounter the PATH_MAX (often 4096) limit.
They are more efficient. For example, before, chgrp -R would
take almost 5 seconds to change about 2000 directories and fail
(with `File name too long'), while now it succeeds on a hierarchy
of depth 20,000 in 1/10 the time.
* src/chown.c: Include "userspec.h" and "fts_.h".
(WRITTEN_BY): Add my name.
(getpwnam, getgrnam, getgrgid): Remove declarations.
(endpwent): Remove definition.
(usage): Update.
(main): Handle new options.
Call new function, chown_files rather than change_file_owner.
* src/chgrp.c: Include "fts_.h".
(WRITTEN_BY): Add my name.
(MAXUID, MAXGID): Remove definitions. Use GID_T_MAX instead of
the latter.
(usage): Update.
(main): Handle new options.
Call new function, chown_files rather than change_file_owner.
Rewrite to iterate through hierarchies using fts rather than
via explicit recursion.
* src/chown-core.c: Include "fts_.h"
(change_file_owner): Rewrite to use FTS* and FTSENT* and to operate
on a single file at a time.
(chown_files): New function.
* src/chown-core.h [enum Dereference_symlink]: Remove declaration.
[struct Chown_option] (recurse, force_silent): Change type to `bool'.
[struct Chown_option] (dereference): Remove member with ambiguous name.
[struct Chown_option] (affect_symlink_referent): New member.
(chown_files): New prototype.
* tests/chgrp/recurse: Update tests accordingly.
* tests/chgrp/posix-H: New tests for the above.
* tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add posix-H.
* src/ln.c (usage): Clarify that --directory, -d, -F probably won't
work even for superuser. Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
2003-10-14 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Fix some number-parsing bugs, e.g., "head -n 100k@" wasn't
properly diagnosed.
* lib/human.c, lib/xstrtoimax.c, lib/xstrtol.c, lib/xstrtol.h,
lib/xstrtoul.c, lib/xstrtoumax.c: Sync with gnulib.
* src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Handle the case where overflow
and invalid suffix char are both reported.
2003-10-14 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/ls.c (decode_switches) [TIOCGWINSZ]: Comment out the
warning-inducing test, ws.ws_col <= SIZE_MAX, since it was always
true on Linux.
2003-10-13 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Fix to avoid a denial-of-service attack if the display width is
enormous. Also, clean up the code a bit by removing duplicate code.
* src/ls.c (init_column_info): Remove forward decl; no longer needed.
(calculate_columns): New function, that contains code that used
to be common to print_many_per_line and print_horizontal.
(print_many_per_line, print_horizontal): Use it.
(decode_switches): Set max_idx here, not in calculate_columns.
(print_current_files): Don't call init_column_info; calculate_columns
now does that.
(init_column_info): Don't allocate a lot more space than is needed
to represent the current set of files. Allocate all the new
size_t cells in one call to xnmalloc, rather than a row at a time.
2003-10-13 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/ls.c (init_column_info): Add another FIXME comment.
2003-10-13 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Fix address-arithmetic bug in 'ls', reported by Georgi Guninski.
Remove several arbitrary limits on hosts where int cannot represent
all size_t values.
* src/ls.c (struct bin_str.len, length_of_file_name_and_frills, indent,
nfiles, files_index, tabsize, line_length, struct column_info.line_len,
struct column_info.col_arr[0], max_idx):
Now size_t, not int.
(get_funky_string): Return bool indicating success, instead of
a negative count to indicate failure. Store number of columns
through new parameter OUTPUT_COUNT; that way, they can never
go negative. Change equals_end from int to bool. All uses
changed.
(struct column_info.valid_len): Now bool, not int. All uses changed.
(dired_dump_obstack, get_funky_string, clear_files,
extract_dirs_from_files, print_current_files,
print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, init_column_info,
put_indicator, length_of_file_name_and_frills,
print_with_commas): Use size_t, not int, for local variables
that count sizes.
(decode_switches): Decode sizes using xstrtoul, not xstrtol.
Check for TIOCGWINSZ returing negative values (or values greater
than SIZE_MAX!).
(visit_dir, main, parse_ls_color, queue_directory, add_ignore_pattern,
init_column_info):
Use xmalloc and xnmalloc, not XMALLOC.
(gobble_file): Use xnrealloc, not XREALLOC.
(print_color_indicator): Remove now-unnecessary cast to size_t.
2003-10-12 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* tests/du/no-x: Change wording of diagnostic to match latest du.c.
* tests/sort/sort-tests: Remove from CVS; assume that people
brave enough to check coreutils out from CVS can rebuild it.
2003-10-12 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
New options: --preserve-root and --no-preserve-root.
* src/chmod.c (change_file_mode): Honor new option.
(change_file_mode): Strip trailing slashes on directory
argument passed to change_dir_mode.
(get_root_dev_ino): New function.
(main): Initialize global, root_dev_ino.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't #ifdef-out simple uses of
S_ISLNK or S_ISSOCK. The S_IS* macros are guaranteed to be defined
via system.h.
* src/chmod.c (change_file_mode): Likewise.
2003-10-08 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/csplit.c (main): Remove obsolete FIXME.
2003-10-07 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* Use automake-1.7.8. Regenerate dependent files.
2003-09-29 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
csplit cleanup.
* doc/coreutils.texi (csplit invocation):
The regexp offset need not have a sign; POSIX requires support
for signless offets.
Be more careful about int widths. For example, remove some
arbitrary limits by replacing 'unsigned' with 'size_t',
'uintmax_t', etc. Use standard bool rather than a homegrown type.
* lib/Makefile.am (libfetish_a_SOURCES): Add xstrtoimax.c.
* src/csplit.c (FALSE, TRUE, boolean): Remove. All uses changed
to <stdbool.h> usage.
(struct control): offset is now intmax_t, not int.
repeat_forever is now bool, not int.
(struct cstring): len is now size_t, not unsigned int.
(struct buffer_record): bytes_alloc, bytes_used, num_lines are now
size_t, not unsigned. start_line, first_available are now
uintmax_t, not unsigned.
(hold_count, control_used): Now size_t, not unsigned.
(last_line_number, current_line, bytes_written):
Now uintmax_t, not unsigned.
(save_to_hold_area, red_input, keep_new_line, record_line_starts,
create_new_buffer, get_new_buffer, load_buffer, find_line,
process_regexp, split_file, new_control_record, extract_regexp,
get_format_width, get_format_prec, max_out):
size args, locals, and returned values are now size_t, not unsigned
or int.
(get_first_line_in_buffer, find_line, write_to_file,
handle_line_error, process_line_count, regexp_error, process_regexp,
split_file):
File line, byte, and repetition counts are now uintmax_t, not unsigned.
(check_for_offset): Don't require a sign before the offset.
Use xstrtoimax to do the real work.
(extract_regexp): Remove harmful cast of size to unsigned.
256 -> 1<<CHAR_BIT, for clarity.
(get_format_flags): Return at most 3, to avoid worries about overflow.
(bytes_to_octal_digits): Remove.
(cleanup): Don't check whether output_stream is NULL, since
close_output_file does that for us.
(new_line_control, create_new_buffer): Use "foo *p = xmalloc
(sizeof *p);" instead of the more long-winded alternatives.
(get_new_buffer): Use O(1) algorithm for resizing a buffer
to a much larger size, instead of an O(N) algorithm.
(process_regexp): Use plain NULL rather than casted 0.
(make_filename): Use %u, not %d, to format unsigned file number.
(new_control_record): Use xrealloc exclusively, since it handles
NULL reliably.
(extract_regexp): Change misspelled word in diagnostic.
(get_format_width): Even if a minimum field width is specified,
allow room for enough octal digits to represent the value of
the maximum representible integer. This fixes a potential
buffer overrun. Calculate this room at compile-time, not
at run-time; this removes the need for bytes_to_octal_digits.
Check for overflow; this removes a FIXME.
(get_format_prec): Don't allow precision to be signed; it's
not ANSI. Check for overflow. Remove hardcoded "11" as
default precision; this fixes a potential buffer overrun
on hosts with wider size_t.
(get_format_conv_type): Change local variable to be of type
unsigned char, not int; this removes a potential subscript
violation on hosts where char is signed.
(max_out): Replace "for (;*p;)" with more-standard "while (*p)".
Allow "%%" in format. Don't overflow when
counting lots of percents.
(usage): Default sprintf format is %02u, not %d.
2003-10-05 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Remove set-but-not-used local.
* src/du.c (du_files): Mark diagnostic for translation.

(main): Warn that the meaning of -H will soon change to be
POSIX compliant.
2003-10-03 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/du.c: Accept --no-dereference (-P).
2003-10-02 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>

(IS_FTW_DIR_TYPE): Remove definition.
(IS_DIR_TYPE): Define.
(is_symlink_to_dir): Remove now-unnecessary function.
(process_file, du_files): Rewrite to use fts.
* tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Ensure that even when run from an
inaccessible directory, du can still operate on accessible
directories elsewhere.
* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible-cwd.
* tests/rm/deep-1: Ensure that du can process a hierarchy
of depth 400 while using no more than 50KB of stack space.
2003-10-01 Akim Demaille <address@hidden>
* announce-gen (print_news_deltas): New function, extracted from main.
(main): Make `news_file' an array.
Use '...=s' => address@hidden for --news and --url-directory specs.
Before there were a couple of portability problems.
2003-09-28 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): New rule.
(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
* src/copy.c: Remove unnecessary cast of alloca, since now it's
guaranteed to be (void *).
* src/cp.c: Likewise.
* src/join.c: Likewise.
* src/ln.c: Likewise.
* src/ls.c: Likewise.
* src/od.c: Likewise.
* src/sys2.h (ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
2003-09-27 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
Don't exhaust virtual memory when processing large inputs.
Fix this by removing csplit's internal free-list management;
instead rely on malloc for that.
* src/csplit.c (free_list): Remove global.
(clear_all_line_control): Remove function.
(get_new_buffer): Always use create_new_buffer to obtain a
new buffer, rather than searching free_list.
(free_buffer): Just call free.
Reported by Nikola Milutinovic.
2003-09-26 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* man/rm.x: Also list `chattr' in SEE ALSO section.
Suggestion from Mark Hubbart.
2003-09-25 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* configure.ac: Don't invoke AC_AIX or AC_MINIX explicitly, now
that we use gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, since it AC_REQUIREs them.
* Use autoconf-2.57d. Regenerate dependent files.
2003-09-24 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
Minor efficiency tweak.
* src/ln.c (PATH_BASENAME_CONCAT): Use memcpy rather than strcpy.
(do_link): Likewise.
2003-09-23 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/paste.c (paste_serial): Save errno after input error,
to report proper errno value.
Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
* src/tee.c (tee): Adjust fwrite arguments so that the return
value is the number of bytes written.
2003-09-16 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Don't assume ferror sets errno. Bug reported by Bruno Haible.
* src/comm.c (compare_files): Save errno after input error,
to report proper errno value.
* src/fold.c (fold_file): Likewise.
* src/od.c (check_and_close, skip, read_char, read_block): Likewise.
* src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
* src/csplit.c (close_output_file): Don't report bogus errno value
after ferror discovers an output error. We don't know the proper
errno value, since it might have been caused by any of a whole
bunch of calls, and it might have been trashed in the meantime.
Fixing this problem will require much more extensive changes;
in the meantime just say "write error".
* src/od.c (check_and_close, dump, dump_strings): Likewise.
* src/uniq.c (check_file): Likewise.
* src/join.c (get_line): Report error right away if I/O fails,
so that the proper errno value is used.
* src/tac.c (tac_seekable, tac_file, save_stdin): Likewise.
* src/tee.c (tee): Likewise.
* src/uniq.c (check_file): Likewise.
* src/od.c (skip): If a read fails, don't retry it later, so
that we report the proper errno.
* src/tac.c (tac_mem): Don't return a value; nobody uses it.
* src/tee.c (tee): Once a write failure has occurred, don't bother
writing anything more to that stream.
* src/uniq.c (check_file): Check for ferror (stdout) even if
ostream == stdout.
* src/yes.c (UNROLL): Remove.
(main): Exit immediately when write failure is detected.
Simplify code by assigning to argv when argc == 1.
2003-09-21 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* src/ptx.c: Switch encoding from Latin-1 to UTF-8.
(WRITTEN_BY): Change "Franc,ois" (actually using
c-with-cedilla in Latin-1) to "F.", so that it's ASCII, as
xgettext requires.
2003-09-19 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
`du -D symlink-to-dir' would mistakenly omit the slash in
lines like this: 24 symlink-to-dir/subdir
* src/du.c (process_file): Fix offset calculation.
Reported by Jeff Sheinberg as Debian bug #211591;
http://bugs.debian.org/205251
* tests/du/deref-args: New file/test for the above.
* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add deref-args.
* src/du.c (process_file): Remove useless disjunct.
* src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Rename parameter, Authors,
to Written_by.
* nearly all src/*.c files (WRITTEN_BY): Rename from AUTHORS.
Begin each WRITTEN_BY string with `Written by ' and end it with `.'.
Mark each WRITTEN_BY string as translatable.
* basename.c, cat.c, chroot.c, cksum.c, comm.c, cp.c, csplit.c, cut.c:
* dd.c, df.c, dirname.c, du.c, echo.c, env.c, expr.c, factor.c, head.c:

* touch.c, tsort.c, uniq.c, unlink.c, uptime.c, users.c, wc.c:
* who.c, whoami.c, yes.c: Revert yesterday's changes.
Instead, a subsequent change will embed `Written by ' in
each string along with the author names.
* src/true.c: Revert yesterday's changes.
* src/sys2.h: Likewise.
2003-09-18 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>

* touch.c, tsort.c, uniq.c, unlink.c, uptime.c, users.c, wc.c:
* who.c, whoami.c, yes.c: Update AUTHORS definition to be a
comma-separated list of strings and/or update the call to
parse_long_options so that `AUTHORS, NULL' are the last parameters.
* src/true.c (main): Append NULL to version_etc argument list.
* src/sys2.h (case_GETOPT_VERSION_CHAR): Likewise.
* src/sort.c (numcompare): Rename local, logb, to log_b to avoid
shadowing the math function name. Also rename loga to log_a.
2003-09-14 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/factor.c (print_factors): Give a separate diagnostic
for numbers that are too large, but otherwise valid.
Reported by Dániel Varga.
2003-09-10 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* Use automake-1.7.7. Regenerate dependent files.
* tests/Makefile.am (all_programs): Use ../src/tr -s ' ' '\n' in place
of `fmt -1'. Using the just-built tr is a little cleaner.
Christian Krackowizer reported that HPUX 10.20 doesn't have fmt.
* man/Makefile.am (programs, check-x-vs-1): Likewise.
2003-09-09 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/copy.c: Alphabetize includes.
Remove duplicate inclusion of "same.h".
* Makefile.maint (GZIP_ENV): Remove --rsyncable.
Didn't give enough of a benefit, mainly because it's not yet
in wide enough use.
**********************************************************************
lib/ChangeLog

Patch by Ulrich Drepper.
* sha.h: Add FSF Copyright. Remove reference to Scott Miller,
since this file is now nearly identical to md5.h.
* md5.h (rol) [__GNUC__ && __i386__]: Don't use `asm' code. These
days, gcc-3.x does better all by itself. Patch from Dean Gaudet:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-11/msg00144.html
2003-11-29 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* c-strtod.c (c_strtod): Save and restore original LC_NUMERIC setting,
in case it was different from the environment-derived value.
Patch by Paul Eggert.
Include "xalloc.h" for declaration of xstrdup.
2003-11-24 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Parse floating-point operands and options in the C locale.
POSIX requires this for printf, and we might as well be
consistent elsewhere (tail, sleep, seq).
* Makefile.am (libfetish_a_SOURCES): Add c-strtod.c, c-strtod.h.
* c-strtod.c, c-strtod.h: New files.
* xstrtod.h (xstrtod): Accept an extra arg, specifying the
conversion function.
* xstrtod.c (xstrtod): Likewise. All callers changed to
include c-strtod.h and use c_strtod. Don't include stdlib.h; no
longer needed.
* xnanosleep.c: Don't include xstrtod.h; it's not needed.
2003-11-22 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* xmalloc.c (x2nrealloc_inline): Fix typos in comments: s/size/size_t/.
2003-11-21 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* xreadlink.c (xreadlink): Correct outdated comment.
2003-11-17 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
On systems without utime and without a utimes function capable of
dealing with a NULL struct utimbuf* argument, this utime replacement
could -- in unusual circumstances -- leak a file descriptor.
* utime.c: Include <unistd.h> and <errno.h>.
(utime_null): Be sure to close `fd' and to preserve errno.
Reported by Geoff Collyer via Arnold Robbins.

(read_filesystem_list): Set and use me_type_malloced.
Use "sizeof *me" rather than "sizeof (struct mount_entry)" (or
whatever the type happens to be), for brevity and consistency.
Check for size calculation overflow on Alphas running OSF/1.
2003-10-31 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* hash.c: Include "xalloc.h" for use of xalloc_oversized.

e.g. HPUX 10.20.
2003-09-25 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>

and fix some portability bugs (don't depend on gcc).
* fts.c: Include "fts_.h", not <fts.h>.
(ALIGNBYTES) [!(__GNUC__ >= 2)]: Add a definition that works with
compilers that don't have __alignof__.

doc/ChangeLog
**********************************************************************
2003-12-20 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* coreutils.texi (du invocation): Describe new option: -0, --null.
2003-12-03 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* coreutils.texi (What information is listed, chroot invocation):
Adjust example 'ls' output to match new behavior with narrower
output columns.
(The cut command): Remove example that cut the output of
'ls -l'. The output was incorrect even with the old 'ls', and
the whole idea of using 'cut' on 'ls -l' output is bogus anyway.
2003-11-24 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Parse floating-point operands and options in the C locale.
POSIX requires this for printf, and we might as well be
consistent elsewhere (tail, sleep, seq).
* coreutils.texi (tail invocation, printf invocation,
sleep invocation, seq invocation): Document this.
2003-11-24 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* coreutils.texi (Traversing symlinks, Treating / specially):
New sections.
(rm invocation, chown invocation, chmod invocation, chgrp invocation):
Describe new options, --preserve-root and --no-preserve-root.
2003-11-11 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* coreutils.texi (chown invocation) [chownchgrpoptions]: New macro
describing -H, -L, -P options. Use it here.
(chgrp invocation): And here.
2003-11-09 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Fix typo in example.
2003-10-15 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* coreutils.texi (ln invocation): Note that --directory, -d, -F
probably won't work even for superuser. Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
2003-09-29 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* coreutils.texi (csplit invocation):
The regexp offset need not have a sign; POSIX requires support
