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.
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`.
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.
Refactor code from the `backwards_thru_file()` function into a new
`ReverseChunks` iterator, and use that iterator to simplify the
implementation of the `backwards_thru_file()` function. The
`ReverseChunks` iterator yields `Vec<u8>` objects, each of which
references bytes of a given file.
- 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
Refactor common code out of two branches of the `unbounded_tail()`
function into a new `unbounded_tail_collect()` helper function, that
collects from an iterator into a `VecDeque` and keeps either the last
`n` elements or all but the first `n` elements.
This commit also adds a new struct, `RingBuffer`, in a new module,
`ringbuffer.rs`, to be responsible for keeping the last `n` elements
of an iterator.
