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.
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.
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.
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()`.
Change the interface provided by the `parse_size()` function to reduce
its responsibilities to just a single task: parsing a number of bytes
from a string of the form '123KB', etc. Previously, the function was
also responsible for deciding which mode truncate would operate in.
Furthermore, this commit simplifies the code for parsing the number and
unit to be less verbose and use less mutable state.
Finally, this commit adds some unit tests for the `parse_size()`
function.
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
Instead of using a BufReader and reading each line separately,
allocating a String for each one, we read to a chunk. Lines are
references to this chunk. This makes the allocator's job much easier
and yields performance improvements.
Chunks are read on a separate thread to further improve performance.
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`.
Fix two issues with the string formatting width for counts displayed
by `wc`.
First, the output was previously not using the default minimum width
(seven characters) when reading from `stdin`. This commit corrects
this behavior to match GNU `wc`. For example,
$ cat alice_in_wonderland.txt | wc
5 57 302
Second, if at least 10^7 bytes were read from `stdin` *after* reading
from a smaller regular file, then every output row would have width
8. This disagrees with GNU `wc`, in which only the `stdin` row and the
total row would have width 8. This commit corrects this behavior to
match GNU `wc`. For example,
$ printf "%.0s0" {1..10000000} | wc emptyfile.txt -
0 0 0 emptyfile.txt
0 1 10000000
0 1 10000000 total
Fixes#2186.
Change the error messages that get printed to `stderr` for compatibility
with GNU `wc` when an input is a directory and when an input does not
exist.
Fixes#2211.
This closes#2181.
`who --lookup` is failing with a runtime panic (double free).
Since `crate::dns-lookup` already includes a safe wrapper for `getaddrinfo`
I used this crate instead of further debugging the existing code in
utmpx::canon_host().
* It was neccessary to remove the version constraint for libc in uucore.
- add `==` as undocumented alias of `=`
- handle negated comparison of `=` as literal
- negation generally applies to only the first expression of a Boolean chain,
except when combining evaluation of two literal strings
When merging files we need to prioritize files that occur earlier in the
command line arguments with -m.
This also makes the extsort merge step (and thus extsort itself) stable again.
This is a refactor to reduce duplicate code, it affects chmod/ls/stat.
* merge `stat/src/fsext::pretty_access` into `uucore/src/lib/feature/fs::display_permissions_unix`
* move tests for `fs::display_permissions` from `test_stat::test_access` to `uucore/src/lib/features/fs::test_display_permissions`
* adjust `uu_chmod`, `uu_ls` and `uu_stat` to use `uucore::fs::display_permissions`
* ls: Implement total size feature
- Implement total size reporting that was missing
- Fix minor formatting / readability nits
* tests: Add tests for ls total sizes feature
* ls: Fix MSRV build errors due to unsupported attributes for if blocks
* ls: Add windows support for total sizes feature
- Add windows support (defaults to file size as block sizes related
infromation is not avialable on windows)
- Renamed some functions
