- adds conditional supports for unix domain sockets
- adds unix domain socket test
- adds Results to functions, removing unwraps
- uutils `cat` used to panic on broken stdout pipes (e.g. `cat
/dev/zero | head -c1`). this is fixed in this PR
- updated to exit 0 on success, and 1 if an error occurs.
- adds docstrings
- adds an error log on printing a directory
- adds categorization of other filetypes for extensible
differentiation of behaviors
- adds OutputOptions struct to replace params for extensibility
- adds correct status code on exit
`test_chmod_ugoa` and `test_chmod_many_options` both change umask, which
is global state. Since tests run concurrently, this might lead to
a situation where one of the tests changes umask to a value that screws
another test's checks. To prevent this, we introduce a mutex that should
be held by any test that changes umask.
Unfortunately, there's no way to hide umask behind this mutex and
enforce its usage: programmers will have to maintain the discipline
themselves.
Add install utility skeleton source, based on
mv, including the getopts setup mirroring
GNU's `man install` documentation. Also
add a single test and build system code.
The main motivation is to move toward running those tests for a specific
target, that is, if a test won't run on Windows, then we shouldn't build
it. This was previously the default behavior and prevented a successful
run on AppVeyor.
I borrowed this pattern from the tests in the Cargo project.
For coreutils, there are two build artifacts:
1. multicall executable (each utility is a separate static library)
2. individual utilities (still separate library with main wrapper)
To avoid namespace collision, each utility crate is defined as
"uu_{CMD}". The end user only sees the original utility name. This
simplifies build.rs.
Also, the thin wrapper for the main() function is no longer contained in
the crate. It has been separated into a dedicated file. This was
necessary to work around Cargo's need for the crate name attribute to
match the name in the respective Cargo.toml.
This allows a user to create builds with or without the Unix-specific
utilities. Right now the Makefile handles this, but this is needed to
migrate away from make.
To build Unix-specific utilities (default):
cargo build
(or)
cargo build --features unix --no-default-features
To build without the Unix-specific utilities:
cargo build --features generic --no-default-features
