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`.
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.
When merging files we need to prioritize files that occur earlier in the
command line arguments with -m.
This also makes the extsort merge step (and thus extsort itself) stable again.
Refactor the counting code from the inner loop of the `wc` program
into the `WordCount::from_line()` associated function. This commit
also splits that function up into other helper functions that
encapsulate decoding characters and finding word boundaries from raw
bytes.
This commit also implements the `Sum` trait for the `WordCount`
struct, so that we can simply call `sum()` on an iterator that yields
`WordCount` instances.
This is a refactor to reduce duplicate code, it affects chmod/ls/stat.
* merge `stat/src/fsext::pretty_access` into `uucore/src/lib/feature/fs::display_permissions_unix`
* move tests for `fs::display_permissions` from `test_stat::test_access` to `uucore/src/lib/features/fs::test_display_permissions`
* adjust `uu_chmod`, `uu_ls` and `uu_stat` to use `uucore::fs::display_permissions`
FileMerger is much more efficient than the previous algorithm,
which looped over all elements every time to determine the next element.
FileMerger uses a BinaryHeap, which should bring the complexity for
the merge step down from O(n²) to O(n log n).
