* tail: reduce CPU load for polling
This reduces the CPU load for polling drastically (from ~80% down to ~5%)
by removing/fixing several previous workarounds related to polling,
while still passing all related GNU test-suite checks.
* set Notify::PollWatcher delay to: sleep_sec/10 instead of
sleep_sec/100
* set recv_timeout to sleep_sec instead of sleep_sec/100
* remove the manual polling of watched files
Bugs:
* fix an issue with headers to consistently pass
"test_follow_name_retry_headers" and "gnu/tests/tail-2/overlay-headers.sh"
Code clean-up and refactor
* make fields of struct FileHandling private (and add getters/setters)
to ensure that the paths are absolute and match the paths returned by
Notify::Events
* replace calls to "crash!" with "return USimpleError"
* clean-up formatting
When `--backup` is supplied, `cp` will take a backup of *destination* before *source* is copied. When `--backup=simple` is supplied, it is possible for the backup path for *destination* to equal the path for *source*, destroying source before the copy is made. This change prevents this by returning an error instead.
This fixes https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/3629
Update `dd` to only print a concise form of the number of bytes with
an SI prefix (like "1 MB" or "2 GB") if the number is at least
1000. Similarly, only print the concise form with an IEC prefix (like
"1 MiB" or "2 GiB") if the number is at least 1024. For example,
$ head -c 999 /dev/zero | dd > /dev/null
1+1 records in
1+1 records out
999 bytes copied, 0.0 s, 999.0 KB/s
$ head -c 1000 /dev/zero | dd > /dev/null
1+1 records in
1+1 records out
1000 bytes (1000 B) copied, 0.0 s, 1000.0 KB/s
$ head -c 1024 /dev/zero | dd > /dev/null
2+0 records in
2+0 records out
1024 bytes (1 KB, 1024 B) copied, 0.0 s, 1.0 MB/s
Make `mktemp` exit with an error if the `--suffix` option is the empty
string and the template argument does not end in an "X". Previously,
the program succeeded.
Before this commit,
$ mktemp --suffix= aXXXb
apBEb
After this commit,
$ mktemp --suffix= aXXXb
mktemp: with --suffix, template 'aXXXb' must end in X
It is probably too hard to verify that the sync is actually performed,
so we just check that we have a test using the code path, pro forma.
