Remove "read" permissions from the `OpenOptions` when opening a new file
just to truncate it. We will never read from the file, only write to
it. (Specifically, we will only call `File::set_len()`.)
Fails from time to time with

`sort` supports three ways to specify the sort mode: a long option
(e.g. --numeric-sort), a short option (e.g. -n) and the sort flag
(e.g. --sort=numeric).
This adds support for the sort flag.
Additionally, sort modes now conflict, which means that an error is
shown when multiple modes are passed, instead of silently picking a mode.
For consistency, I added the `random` sort mode to the `SortMode` enum,
instead of it being a bool flag.
Change the behavior of `wc` to print the counts for a file as soon as
it is computed, instead of waiting to compute the counts for all files
before writing any output to `stdout`. The new behavior matches the
behavior of GNU `wc`.
The old behavior looked like this (the word "hello" is entered on
`stdin`):
$ wc emptyfile.txt -
hello
0 0 0 emptyfile.txt
1 1 6
1 1 6 total
The new behavior looks like this:
$ wc emptyfile.txt -
0 0 0 emptyfile.txt
hello
1 1 6
1 1 6 total
Change the behavior of `uucore::fs::canonicalize()` when `can_mode` is
`CanonicalizeMode::None` so that it does not attempt to resolve the
final component if it is a symbolic link. This matches the behavior of
the function for the non-final components of a path when `can_mode` is
`None`.
Instead of overflowing when calculating the buffer size, use
saturating_{pow, mul}.
When failing to parse the buffer size, we now crash instead of silently
ignoring the error.
To make this work we make default sort a special case of external sort.
External sorting uses auxiliary files for intermediate chunks. However,
when we can keep our intermediate chunks in memory, we don't write them
to the file system at all. Only when we notice that we can't keep them
in memory they are written to the disk.
Additionally, we don't allocate buffers with the capacity of their
maximum size anymore. Instead, they start with a capacity of 8kb and are
grown only when needed.
This makes sorting smaller files about as fast as it was before
(I'm seeing a regression of ~3%), and allows us to seamlessly continue
with auxiliary files when needed.
For any commandline arguments, ls should print the argument as is (and
not truncate to just the file name)
For any other files it reaches (say through recursive exploration), ls
should print just the filename (as path is printed once when we enter
the directory)
A lot of tests depend on GNU's coreutils to be installed in order
to obtain reference values during testing.
In these cases testing is limited to `target_os = linux`.
This PR installs GNU's coreutils on "github actions" and adjusts the
tests for `who`, `stat` and `pinky` in order to be compatible with macOS.
* `brew install coreutils` (prefix is 'g', e.g. `gwho`, `gstat`, etc.
* switch paths for testing to something that's available on both OSs,
e.g. `/boot` -> `/bin`, etc.
* switch paths for testing to the macOS equivalent,
e.g. `/dev/pts/ptmx` -> `/dev/ptmx`, etc.
* exclude paths when no equivalent is available,
e.g. `/proc`, `/etc/fstab`, etc.
* refactor tests to make better use of the testing API
* fix a warning in utmpx.rs to print to stderr instead of stdout
* fix long_usage text in `who`
* fix minor output formatting in `stat`
* the `expected_result` function should be refactored
to reduce duplicate code
* more tests should be adjusted to not only run on `target_os = linux`
Fix a bug in which the incorrect character was being used to indicate
"round up to the nearest multiple" mode. The character was "*" but it
should be "%". This commit corrects that.
Change the error message for when the reference file (the `-r` argument)
is not found to match GNU coreutils. This commit also eliminates a
redundant call to `File::open`; the file need not be opened because the
size in bytes can be read from the result of `std::fs::metadata()`.
