* test/cp: -p changes ctime and added sleep for better timestamp testing
* test/cp: add nanoseconds checking for copied timestamps
* test/cp: made compilable on other OSes
* test/cp: added error messages to assert_eq calls
* cp: Refactor `reflink`/`sparse` handling to enable `--sparse` flag
`--sparse` and `--reflink` options have a lot of similarities:
- They have similar options (`always`, `never`, `auto`)
- Both need OS specific handling
- They can be mutually exclusive
Prior to this change, `sparse` was defined as `CopyMode`, but `reflink`
wasn't. Given the similarities, it makes sense to handle them similarly.
The idea behind this change is to move all OS specific file copy
handling in the `copy_on_write_*` functions. Those function then
dispatch to the correct logic depending on the arguments (at the moment,
the tuple `(reflink, sparse)`).
Also, move the handling of `--reflink=never` from `copy_file` to the
`copy_on_write_*` functions, at the cost of a bit of code duplication,
to allow `copy_on_write_*` to handle all cases (and later handle
`--reflink=never` with `--sparse`).
* cp: Implement `--sparse` flag
This begins to address #3362
At the moment, only the `--sparse=always` logic matches the requirement
form GNU cp info page, i.e. always make holes in destination when
possible.
Sparse copy is done by copying the source to the destination block by
block (blocks being of the destination's fs block size). If the block
only holds NUL bytes, we don't write to the destination.
About `--sparse=auto`: according to GNU cp info page, the destination
file will be made sparse if the source file is sparse as well. The next
step are likely to use `lseek` with `SEEK_HOLE` detect if the source
file has holes. Currently, this has the same behaviour as
`--sparse=never`. This `SEEK_HOLE` logic can also be applied to
`--sparse=always` to improve performance when copying sparse files.
About `--sparse=never`: from my understanding, it is not guaranteed that
Rust's `fs::copy` will always produce a file with no holes, as
["platform-specific behavior may change in the
future"](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.copy.html#platform-specific-behavior)
About other platforms:
- `macos`: The solution may be to use `fcntl` command `F_PUNCHHOLE`.
- `windows`: I only see `FSCTL_SET_SPARSE`.
This should pass the following GNU tests:
- `tests/cp/sparse.sh`
- `tests/cp/sparse-2.sh`
- `tests/cp/sparse-extents.sh`
- `tests/cp/sparse-extents-2.sh`
`sparse-perf.sh` needs `--sparse=auto`, and in particular a way to skip
holes in the source file.

* ls: Implement --zero flag. (#2929)
This flag can be used to provide a easy machine parseable output from
ls, as discussed in the GNU bug report
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=49716.
There are some peculiarities with this flag:
- Current implementation of GNU ls of the `--zero` flag implies some
other flags. Those can be overridden by setting those flags after
`--zero` in the command line.
- This flag is not compatible with `--dired`. This patch is not 100%
compliant with GNU ls: GNU ls `--zero` will fail if `--dired` and
`-l` are set, while with this patch only `--dired` is needed for the
command to fail.
We also add `--dired` flag to the parser, with no additional behaviour
change.
Testing done:

* wc: specialize scanning loop on settings.
The primary computational loop in wc (iterating over all the
characters and computing word lengths, etc) is configured by a
number of boolean options that control the text-scanning behavior.
If we monomorphize the code loop for each possible combination of
scanning configurations, the rustc is able to generate better code
for each instantiation, at the least by removing the conditional
checks on each iteration, and possibly by allowing things like
vectorization.
On my computer (aarch64/macos), I am seeing at least a 5% performance
improvement in release builds on all wc flag configurations
(other than those that were already specialized) against
odyssey1024.txt, with wc -l showing the greatest improvement at 15%.
* Reduce the size of the wc dispatch table by half.
By extracting the handling of hand-written fast-paths to the
same dispatch as the automatic specializations, we can avoid
needing to pass `show_bytes` as a const generic to
`word_count_from_reader_specialized`. Eliminating this parameter
halves the number of arms in the dispatch.

This is part of fixing the tee tests. 'yes' is used by the GNU test
suite to identify what the SIGPIPE exit code is on the target
platform. By trapping SIGPIPE, it creates a requirement that other
utilities also trap SIGPIPE (and exit 0 after SIGPIPE). This is
sometimes at odds with their desired behaviour.
This has the following behaviours. On Unix:
- The default is to exit on pipe errors, and warn on other errors.
- "--output-error=warn" means to warn on all errors
- "--output-error", "--output-error=warn-nopipe" and "-p" all mean
that pipe errors are suppressed, all other errors warn.
- "--output-error=exit" means to warn and exit on all errors.
- "--output-error=exit-nopipe" means to suppress pipe errors, and to
warn and exit on all other errors.
On non-Unix platforms, all pipe behaviours are ignored, so the default
is effectively "--output-error=warn" and "warn-nopipe" is identical.
The only meaningful option is "--output-error=exit" which is identical
to "--output-error=exit-nopipe" on these platforms.
Note that warnings give a non-zero exit code, but do not halt writing
to non-erroring targets.
Fix a bug in which `cp` incorrectly exited with an error when
attempting to copy the attributes of a dangling symbolic link (that
is, when running `cp -P -p`).
Fixes#3531.
* 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,

Add a unit test for combining the directory given in `--tmpdir` with
any subdirectory structure appearing in the prefix of the template
string. For example,
$ mktemp --tmpdir=a b/cXXX
a/b/cNqJ
This behavior is currently working, but a unit test was missing.
Fix a bug in which `mktemp` would replace everything in the template
argument from the first 'X' to the last 'X' with random bytes, instead
of just replacing the last contiguous block of 'X's.

This fixes test cases `suffix2f` and `suffix2d` in
`tests/misc/mktemp.pl` in the GNU coreutils test suite.
Simplify the logic of computing the file path parameters (the
directory, prefix, suffix, and number of random characters) for the
temporary file created by `mktemp`. This commits adds an `Options`
struct as a layer of indirection between the application logic and
`clap`, and a `Params` struct whose associated function is responsible
for determining the file path parameters from the `Options`. This is
an improvement because the previous code had some logic for
determining file path parameters in one place and some in another
place.

Include the suffix in the error message produced by `mktemp` when
there are too few Xs in the template. Before this commit,
$ mktemp --suffix=X aXX
mktemp: too few X's in template 'aXX'
After this commit,
$ mktemp --suffix=X aXX
mktemp: too few X's in template 'aXXX'
This matches the behavior of GNU `mktemp`.
Correct the error message when the template argument contains a path
separator in its suffix. Before this commit:
$ mktemp aXXX/b
mktemp: too few X's in template 'b'
After this commit:
$ mktemp aXXX/b
mktemp: invalid suffix '/b', contains directory separator
This error message is more appropriate and matches the behavior of GNU
mktemp.

Apparently the `/dev/stdin` redirect workaround doesn't work for
these targets.
Update `chown` to allow setting the owner of a file to a numeric user
ID regardless of whether a corresponding username exists on the
system.
For example,
$ touch f && sudo chown 12345 f
succeeds even though there is no named user with ID 12345.
Fixes#3380.
Correct the error that arises from a path separator in the prefix
portion of a template argument provided to `mktemp`. Before this
commit, the error message was incorrect:
$ mktemp -t a/bXXX
mktemp: failed to create file via template 'a/bXXX': No such file or directory (os error 2) at path "/tmp/a/bege"
After this commit, the error message is correct:
$ mktemp -t a/bXXX
mktemp: invalid template, 'a/bXXX', contains directory separator
The code was failing to check for a path separator in the prefix
portion of the template.
When using left-justify with integer conversion (like `printf '%-o'`),

The code for creating a Passwd from the fields of the raw syscall result
assumed that the syscall would return valid C strings in all non-error
cases. This is not true, and at least one platform (Android) will
populate the fields with null pointers where they are not supported.
To fix this and prevent the error from happening again, this commit
changes `cstr2string(ptr)` to check for a null pointer, and return an
`Option<String>`, with `None` being the null pointer case. While
arguably it should be the caller's job to check for a null pointer
before calling (since the safety precondition is that the pointer is to
a valid C string), relying on the type checker to force remembering this
edge case is safer in the long run.
Add a missing dash to the `--total` argument applied in the
`test_df_output` test case. Before this commit, the argument `-total`
was treated as a path argument. After this commit, `--total` is
treated as a command-line option that causes the total file usage to
be displayed.
* hashsum: add --no-names option from official b3sum tool
The official b3sum tool has a --no-names option for only printing the
hashes, omitting the filenames. This is quite handy when used from
scripts because it spares the postprocessing with "cut" or "awk".
Since the installed b3sum symlink would also serve as a drop-in for the
official tool, the --no-names option is expected to exist for
compatibility.
Add a --no-names option not only for b3sum but for hashsum in general
(and maybe GNU coreutils will also feel inspired to add this option).

"df --output ." was treated as "df --output=." and hence "." was

$ df --output=source,source
df: option --output: field ‘source’ used more than once
Try 'df --help' for more information.
Implement the "File" column in the `df` output table. Before this
commit, a blank entry appeared in the "File" column for each

Fix a bug in the behavior of `split -e -n NUM` when the input file is

Fix a bug where `timeout --preserve-status` was not correctly
preserving the status code of the child process if it timed out. When

`timeout` is then 128 plus the numeric code associated with `SIGTERM`.
* Adds support for mount path prefix matching and input path
canonicalization
- Sorts mount paths in reverse lexicographical order
- Canonicalize all paths and clear invalid paths
- Checking of mount path prefix matches input path
Implement the `--line-bytes` option to `split`. In this mode, the
program tries to write as many lines of the input as possible to each
chunk of output without exceeding a specified byte limit. The new
`LineBytesChunkWriter` struct represents this functionality.
Implement the `--output` command-line argument, which allows
specifying an exact sequence of columns to display in the output
table. For example,
$ df --output=source,fstype | head -n3
Filesystem Type
udev devtmpfs
tmpfs tmpfs
(The spacing does not exactly match the spacing of GNU `df` yet.)
Fixes#3057.
Correct the column header printed by `df` when the `--block-size`
argument has a value that is a multiple of 1024. After this commit,
the header looks like "1K" or "4M" or "117G", etc., depending on the
particular value of the block size. For example:
$ df --block-size=1024 | head -n1

$ df --block-size=2048 | head -n1
Filesystem 2K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

lines across chunks.
https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/3084 (2a333ab391) had some
missing coverage and was merged before I had a chance to fix it.
This PR adds some coverage / improved error messages that were missing
from that previous PR.
If `conv=block,sync` command-line arguments are given and there is at
least one partial record read from the input (for example, if the
length of the input is not divisible by the value of the `ibs`
argument), then output an extra block of `cbs` spaces.
For example, no extra spaces are printed in this example because the
input is of length 10, a multiple of `ibs`:
$ printf "012\nabcde\n" \
> | dd ibs=5 cbs=5 conv=block,sync status=noxfer \
> && echo $
012 abcde$
2+0 records in
0+1 records out
But in this example, 5 extra spaces are printed because the length of
the input is not a multiple of `ibs`:
$ printf "012\nabcdefg\n" \
> | dd ibs=5 cbs=5 conv=block,sync status=noxfer \
> && echo $
012 abcde $
2+1 records in
0+1 records out
1 truncated record
The number of spaces printed is the size of the conversion block,
given by `cbs`.
Prevent `dd` from terminating with an error when given the
command-line argument `of=/dev/null`. This commit allows the call to
`File::set_len()` to result in an error without causing the process to
terminate prematurely.
Place the "truncated records" line below the "records out" line in the
status report produced by `dd` and properly handle the singularization
of the word "record" in the case of 1 truncated record. This matches
the behavior of GNU `dd`.
For example
$ printf "ab" | dd cbs=1 conv=block status=noxfer > /dev/null
0+1 records in
0+1 records out
1 truncated record
$ printf "ab\ncd\n" | dd cbs=1 conv=block status=noxfer > /dev/null
0+1 records in
0+1 records out
2 truncated records
Add the `-e` flag, which indicates whether to elide (that is, remove)
empty files that would have been created by the `-n` option.
The `-n` command-line argument gives a specific number of chunks into
which the input files will be split. If the number of chunks is
greater than the number of bytes, then empty files will be created for
the excess chunks. But if `-e` is given, then empty files will not be
created.
For example, contrast
$ printf 'a\n' > f && split -e -n 3 f && cat xaa xab xac
a
cat: xac: No such file or directory
with
$ printf 'a\n' > f && split -n 3 f && cat xaa xab xac

* replace test cases defined by macros with test cases defined by
plain old functions to make the test cases easier to read at a
glance.

Add support for the `-x` command-line option to `split`. This option
causes `split` to produce filenames with hexadecimal suffixes instead
of the default alphabetic suffixes.
Correct the accounting for partial records written by `dd` to the
output file. After this commit, if fewer than `obs` bytes are written,
then that is counted as a partial record. For example,
$ printf 'abc' | dd bs=2 status=noxfer > /dev/null
1+1 records in
1+1 records out
That is, one complete record and one partial record are read from the
input, one complete record and one partial record are written to the
output. Previously, `dd` reported two complete records and zero
partial records written to the output in this case.
Change the `filter_mount_list()` function so that it always produces
the same order of `MountInfo` objects. This change ultimately results
in `df` printing its table of filesystems in the same order on each
execution. Previously, the table was in an arbitrary order because the
`MountInfo` objects were read from a `HashMap`.
Fixes#3086.
* ls: add new optional arguments to --classify flag
The --classify flag in ls now takes an option when argument
that may have the values always, auto and none.
Modified clap argument to allow an optional parameter and

this change.
* ls: add test for indicator-style, ind and classify with value none
* ls: require option paramter to --classify to use a = to specify flag value
* ls: account for all the undocumented possible values for the --classify flag
Added the other values for the --classify flag along with modifications to tests.
Also documented the inconsistency between GNU coreutils because we accept the
flag value even for the short version of the flag.
Replace `ByteSplitter` and `LineSplitter` with `ByteChunkWriter` and
`LineChunkWriter` respectively. This results in a more maintainable
design and an increase in the speed of splitting by lines.
Correct the `test_split::test_suffixes_exhausted` test case so that it
actually exercises the intended behavior of `split`. Previously, the
test fixture contained 26 bytes. After this commit, the test fixture
contains 27 bytes. When using a suffix width of one, only 26 filenames
should be available when naming chunk files---one for each lowercase
ASCII letter. This commit ensures that the filenames will be exhausted
as intended by the test.
Show a warning if the `skip=N` command-line argument would cause `dd`
to skip past the end of the input. For example:
$ printf "abcd" | dd bs=1 skip=5 count=0 status=noxfer
'standard input': cannot skip to specified offset
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
Show a warning when a block size includes "0x" since this is
ambiguous: the user may have meant "multiply the next number by zero"
or they may have meant "the following characters should be interpreted
as a hexadecimal number".
When specifying `seek=N` and *not* specifying `conv=notrunc`, truncate
the output file to `N` blocks instead of truncating it to zero before
starting to write output. For example
$ printf "abc" > outfile
$ printf "123" | dd bs=1 skip=1 seek=1 count=1 status=noxfer of=outfile
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
$ cat outfile

Fixes#3068.
When this option is present, the files argument is not processed. This option processes the file list from provided file, splitting them by the ascii NUL (\0) character. When files0-from is '-', the file list is processed from stdin.
Using this escaped character will cause `printf` to stop generating characters.
For instance,
```rust
hbina@akarin ~/g/uutils (hbina-add-test-for-additional-escape)> cargo run --quiet -- printf "%s\c%s" a b
a⏎
```

This avoids hacking around the short options of these command line
arguments that have been introduced by clap. Additionally, we test and
correctly handle the combination of both version and help. The GNU
binary will ignore both arguments in this case while clap would perform
the first one. A test for this edge case was added.
This allows for `-t` to take invalid unicode (but still single-byte) values
on unix-like platforms. Other platforms, which as of the time of this commit
do not support `OsStr::as_bytes()`, could possibly be supported in the future,
but would require design decisions as to what that means.
