This reimplements version_cmp, which is used in sort and ls to sort
according to versions.
However, it is not bug-for-bug identical with GNU's implementation.
I reported a bug with GNU here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2021-06/msg00045.html
This implementation does not contain the bugs regarding the handling of
file extensions and null bytes.
This adds a hidden `completion` subcommand to coreutils. When invoked with
`coreutils completion <utility> <shell>` a completion file will be printed
to stdout. When running `make install` those files will be created for all
utilities and copied to the appropriate locations.
`make install` will install completions for zsh, fish and bash; however,
clap also supports generating completions for powershell and elvish.
With this patch all utilities are required to have a publich uu_app function
that returns a clap::App in addition to the uumain function.
Gerenal numeric sort works by comparing pre-parsed floating point
numbers. That means that we don't have to store the &str the float was
parsed from.
As a result, memory usage was slightly reduced for general numeric sort.
`LANGUAGE=C` is not enough, `LC_ALL=C` is needed as the environment
variable that overrides all the other localization settings.
e.g.
```bash
$ LANGUAGE=C id foobar
id: ‘foobar’: no such user
$ LC_ALL=C id foobar
id: 'foobar': no such user
```
* replace `LANGUAGE` with `LC_ALL` as environment variable in the tests
* fix the the date string of affected uutils
* replace `‘` and `’` with `'`
Data that was previously boxed inside the `Line` struct was moved to
separate vectors. Inside of each `Line` remains only an index that
allows to access that data.
This helps with keeping the `Line` struct small and therefore reduces
memory usage in most cases.
Additionally, this improves performance because one big allocation (the
vectors) are faster than many small ones (many boxes inside of each
`Line`). Those vectors can be reused as well, reducing the amount of
(de-)allocations.
- Windows hidden file attribute determination would assume symbolic link
to be valid and would panic
- Check symbolic link's attributes if the link points to non-existing
file
- For dangling symlinks, errors should only be reported if
dereferencing options were passed and dereferencing was applicable to
the particular symlink
- With -i parameter, report '?' as the inode number for dangling
symlinks
