dst may or may not exist. In case it exists it might already be a symlink.
In neither case we should try to canonicalize dst, only its parent directory.

We were reporting "no match" when sorting something like "0 ". This is
because we don't distinguish between 0 and invalid lines when sorting.
For debug output we have to get this information back.
GNU seq does not support -t, but always outputs a newline at the end.
Therefore, our default for -t should be \n.
Also removes support for escape sequences (interpreting a literal "\n"
as a newline). This is not what GNU seq is doing, and unexpected.
If we notice that we can represent all arguments as BigInts, take a
different code path. Just like GNU seq this means we can print an
infinite amount of numbers in this case.

This commit fixes this minor inconsistency and adds corresponding test.
Closes#2254. We should only inherit global settings for keys when there
are absolutely no options attached to the key.
The default key (matching the whole line) is implicitly added only if no
keys are supplied.
Improved some error messages by including more context.
* expr: support arbitrary precision integers
Instead of i64s we now use BigInts for integer operations. This means
that no result or input can be out of range.
The representation of integer flags was changed from i64 to u8 to make
their intention clearer.
* expr: allow big numbers as arguments as well
Also adds some tests
* expr: use num-traits to check bigints for 0 and 1
* expr: remove obsolete refs
match ergonomics made these avoidable.
* formatting

* sort: crash when failing to open an input file
Instead of ignoring files we fail to open, crash.
The error message does not exactly match gnu, but that would require
more effort.
* use split_whitespace instead of a manual implementation
* fix expected error on windows
* sort: update expected error message
* sort: disable support for thousand separators
In order to be compatible with GNU, we have to disable thousands
separators. GNU does not enable them for the C locale, either.
Once we add support for locales we can add this feature back.
* sort: delete unused fixtures
* sort: compare -0 and 0 equal
I must have misunderstood this when implementing, but GNU considers
-0, 0, and invalid numbers to be equal.
* sort: strip blanks before applying the char index
* sort: don't crash when key start is after key end
* sort: add "no match" for months at the first non-whitespace char
We should put the "^ no match for key" indicator at the first
non-whitespace character of a field.
* sort: improve support for e notation
* sort: use maches! macros
Add some abstractions to simplify the `rbuf_but_last_n_lines()`
function, which implements the "take all but the last `n` lines"
functionality of the `head` program. This commit adds
- `RingBuffer`, a fixed-size ring buffer,
- `ZLines`, an iterator over zero-terminated "lines",
- `TakeAllBut`, an iterator over all but the last `n` elements of an
iterator.
These three together make the implementation of
`rbuf_but_last_n_lines()` concise.
Fails from time to time with

`sort` supports three ways to specify the sort mode: a long option
(e.g. --numeric-sort), a short option (e.g. -n) and the sort flag
(e.g. --sort=numeric).
This adds support for the sort flag.
Additionally, sort modes now conflict, which means that an error is
shown when multiple modes are passed, instead of silently picking a mode.
For consistency, I added the `random` sort mode to the `SortMode` enum,
instead of it being a bool flag.
Instead of overflowing when calculating the buffer size, use
saturating_{pow, mul}.
When failing to parse the buffer size, we now crash instead of silently
ignoring the error.
To make this work we make default sort a special case of external sort.
External sorting uses auxiliary files for intermediate chunks. However,
when we can keep our intermediate chunks in memory, we don't write them
to the file system at all. Only when we notice that we can't keep them
in memory they are written to the disk.
Additionally, we don't allocate buffers with the capacity of their
maximum size anymore. Instead, they start with a capacity of 8kb and are
grown only when needed.
This makes sorting smaller files about as fast as it was before
(I'm seeing a regression of ~3%), and allows us to seamlessly continue
with auxiliary files when needed.
A lot of tests depend on GNU's coreutils to be installed in order
to obtain reference values during testing.
In these cases testing is limited to `target_os = linux`.
This PR installs GNU's coreutils on "github actions" and adjusts the
tests for `who`, `stat` and `pinky` in order to be compatible with macOS.
* `brew install coreutils` (prefix is 'g', e.g. `gwho`, `gstat`, etc.
* switch paths for testing to something that's available on both OSs,
e.g. `/boot` -> `/bin`, etc.
* switch paths for testing to the macOS equivalent,
e.g. `/dev/pts/ptmx` -> `/dev/ptmx`, etc.
* exclude paths when no equivalent is available,
e.g. `/proc`, `/etc/fstab`, etc.
* refactor tests to make better use of the testing API
* fix a warning in utmpx.rs to print to stderr instead of stdout
* fix long_usage text in `who`
* fix minor output formatting in `stat`
* the `expected_result` function should be refactored
to reduce duplicate code
* more tests should be adjusted to not only run on `target_os = linux`
Fix a bug in which the incorrect character was being used to indicate
"round up to the nearest multiple" mode. The character was "*" but it
should be "%". This commit corrects that.
Change the error message for when the reference file (the `-r` argument)
is not found to match GNU coreutils. This commit also eliminates a
redundant call to `File::open`; the file need not be opened because the
size in bytes can be read from the result of `std::fs::metadata()`.
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.
Change the behavior of `head` to display an error for each problematic
file, instead of displaying an error message for the first problematic
file and terminating immediately at that point. This change now matches
the behavior of GNU `head`.
Before this commit, the first error caused the program to terminate
immediately:
$ head a b c
head: error: head: cannot open 'a' for reading: No such file or directory
After this commit:
$ head a b c
head: cannot open 'a' for reading: No such file or directory
head: cannot open 'b' for reading: No such file or directory
head: cannot open 'c' for reading: No such file or directory
Instead of using a BufReader and reading each line separately,
allocating a String for each one, we read to a chunk. Lines are
references to this chunk. This makes the allocator's job much easier
and yields performance improvements.
Chunks are read on a separate thread to further improve performance.
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`.
Fix two issues with the string formatting width for counts displayed
by `wc`.
First, the output was previously not using the default minimum width
(seven characters) when reading from `stdin`. This commit corrects
this behavior to match GNU `wc`. For example,
$ cat alice_in_wonderland.txt | wc
5 57 302
Second, if at least 10^7 bytes were read from `stdin` *after* reading
from a smaller regular file, then every output row would have width
8. This disagrees with GNU `wc`, in which only the `stdin` row and the
total row would have width 8. This commit corrects this behavior to
match GNU `wc`. For example,
$ printf "%.0s0" {1..10000000} | wc emptyfile.txt -
0 0 0 emptyfile.txt
0 1 10000000
0 1 10000000 total
Fixes#2186.
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.
- 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
