Refactor the `Mode` enum in the `head.rs` module so that it includes
not only the mode type---lines or bytes---but also whether to read the
first NUM items of that type or all but the last NUM. Before this
commit, these two pieces of information were stored separately. This
made it difficult to read the code through several function calls and
understand at a glance which strategy was being employed.
- Change the main! proc_macro to a bin! macro_rules macro.
- Reexport uucore_procs from uucore
- Make utils to not import uucore_procs directly
- Remove the `syn` dependency and don't parse proc_macro input (hopefully for faster compile times)
Factor out a loop for finding the index of the byte immediately
following the `n`th line from the end of a file. This does not change
the behavior of the code, just its organization.
Replace the custom `split::walk_lines()` function with a call to
`std::io::copy()`, using a new `TakeLines` reader as the source and
`stdout` as the destination. The `TakeLines` reader is an adaptor that
scans the bytes being read for line ending characters and stops the
reading after a given number of lines has been read (similar to the
`std::io::Take` adaptor).
This change
* makes the `read_n_lines()` function more concise,
* allows it to mirror the implementation of `read_n_bytes()`,
* increases the speed of `head -n NUM`.
This makes clap wrap the help text according to the terminal width,
which improves readability for terminal widths < 120 chars,
because clap defaults to a width of 120 chars without this feature.
consistent
* add tests for each flag that takes NUM/SIZE arguments
* fix bug in tail where 'quiet' and 'verbose' flags did not override each other POSIX style
Add some abstractions to simplify the `rbuf_but_last_n_lines()`
function, which implements the "take all but the last `n` lines"
functionality of the `head` program. This commit adds
- `RingBuffer`, a fixed-size ring buffer,
- `ZLines`, an iterator over zero-terminated "lines",
- `TakeAllBut`, an iterator over all but the last `n` elements of an
iterator.
These three together make the implementation of
`rbuf_but_last_n_lines()` concise.
Change the behavior of `head` to display an error for each problematic
file, instead of displaying an error message for the first problematic
file and terminating immediately at that point. This change now matches
the behavior of GNU `head`.
Before this commit, the first error caused the program to terminate
immediately:
$ head a b c
head: error: head: cannot open 'a' for reading: No such file or directory
After this commit:
$ head a b c
head: cannot open 'a' for reading: No such file or directory
head: cannot open 'b' for reading: No such file or directory
head: cannot open 'c' for reading: No such file or directory
Fix a bug in which `head` failed to print headings for `stdin` inputs
when reading from multiple files, and fix another bug in which `head`
failed to print a blank line between the contents of a file and the
heading for the next file when reading multiple files. The output now
matches that of GNU `head`.
- refactor internal version specifications to be ">=M.m.p" (where M.m.p is *already published*)
## [why]
Loosening internal version dependencies decreases the coupling between packages such
that packages can be published in a looser order. It allows the packages to be version
updated and published in tandem (ie, by using `cargo workspace ...`). Once published,
the internal versions can then be updated (again, to an *already published* package
version), as needed.
