The Free Translation Project is +a way to get maintainers of free software, translators, and users all +together, so that will gradually become able to speak many languages. +A few packages already provide translations for their messages. + + If you found this `ABOUT-NLS' file inside a distribution, you may +assume that the distributed package does use GNU `gettext' internally, +itself available at your nearest GNU archive site. But you do _not_ +need to install GNU `gettext' prior to configuring, installing or using +this package with messages translated. + + Installers will find here some useful hints. These notes also +explain how users should proceed for getting the programs to use the +available translations. They tell how people wanting to contribute and +work at translations should contact the appropriate team. + + When reporting bugs in the `intl/' directory or bugs which may be +related to internationalization, you should tell about the version of +`gettext' which is used. The information can be found in the +`intl/VERSION' file, in internationalized packages. + +Quick configuration advice +========================== + +If you want to exploit the full power of internationalization, you +should configure it using + + ./configure --with-included-gettext + +to force usage of internationalizing routines provided within this +package, despite the existence of internationalizing capabilities in the +operating system where this package is being installed. So far, only +the `gettext' implementation in the GNU C library version 2 provides as +many features (such as locale alias, message inheritance, automatic +charset conversion or plural form handling) as the implementation here. +It is also not possible to offer this additional functionality on top +of a `catgets' implementation. Future versions of GNU `gettext' will +very likely convey even more functionality. So it might be a good idea +to change to GNU `gettext' as soon as possible. + + So you need _not_ provide this option if you are using GNU libc 2 or +you have installed a recent copy of the GNU gettext package with the +included `libintl'. + +INSTALL Matters +=============== + +Some packages are "localizable" when properly installed; the programs +they contain can be made to speak your own native language. Most such +packages use GNU `gettext'. Other packages have their own ways to +internationalization, predating GNU `gettext'. + + By default, this package will be installed to allow translation of +messages. It will automatically detect whether the system already +provides the GNU `gettext' functions. If not, the GNU `gettext' own +library will be used. This library is wholly contained within this +package, usually in the `intl/' subdirectory, so prior installation of +the GNU `gettext' package is _not_ required. Installers may use +special options at configuration time for changing the default +behaviour. The commands: + + ./configure --with-included-gettext + ./configure --disable-nls + +will respectively bypass any pre-existing `gettext' to use the +internationalizing routines provided within this package, or else, +_totally_ disable translation of messages. + + When you already have GNU `gettext' installed on your system and run +configure without an option for your new package, `configure' will +probably detect the previously built and installed `libintl.a' file and +will decide to use this. This might be not what is desirable. You +should use the more recent version of the GNU `gettext' library. I.e. +if the file `intl/VERSION' shows that the library which comes with this +package is more recent, you should use + + ./configure --with-included-gettext + +to prevent auto-detection. + + The configuration process will not test for the `catgets' function +and therefore it will not be used. The reason is that even an +emulation of `gettext' on top of `catgets' could not provide all the +extensions of the GNU `gettext' library. + + Internationalized packages have usually many `po/LL.po' files, where +LL gives an ISO 639 two-letter code identifying the language. Unless +translations have been forbidden at `configure' time by using the +`--disable-nls' switch, all available translations are installed +together with the package. However, the environment variable `LINGUAS' +may be set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set. +`LINGUAS' should then contain a space separated list of two-letter +codes, stating which languages are allowed. + +Using This Package +================== + +As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, you +only have to set the `LANG' environment variable to the appropriate +`LL_CC' combination. Here `LL' is an ISO 639 two-letter language code, +and `CC' is an ISO 3166 two-letter country code. For example, let's +suppose that you speak German and live in Germany. At the shell +prompt, merely execute `setenv LANG de_DE' (in `csh'), +`export LANG; LANG=de_DE' (in `sh') or `export LANG=de_DE' (in `bash'). +This can be done from your `.login' or `.profile' file, once and for +all. + + You might think that the country code specification is redundant. +But in fact, some languages have dialects in different countries. For +example, `de_AT' is used for Austria, and `pt_BR' for Brazil. The +country code serves to distinguish the dialects. + + The locale naming convention of `LL_CC', with `LL' denoting the +language and `CC' denoting the country, is the one use on systems based +on GNU libc. On other systems, some variations of this scheme are +used, such as `LL' or `LL_CC.ENCODING'. You can get the list of +locales supported by your system for your country by running the command +`locale -a | grep '^LL''. + + Not all programs have translations for all languages. By default, an +English message is shown in place of a nonexistent translation. If you +understand other languages, you can set up a priority list of languages. +This is done through a different environment variable, called +`LANGUAGE'. GNU `gettext' gives preference to `LANGUAGE' over `LANG' +for the purpose of message handling, but you still need to have `LANG' +set to the primary language; this is required by other parts of the +system libraries. For example, some Swedish users who would rather +read translations in German than English for when Swedish is not +available, set `LANGUAGE' to `sv:de' while leaving `LANG' to `sv_SE'. + + In the `LANGUAGE' environment variable, but not in the `LANG' +environment variable, `LL_CC' combinations can be abbreviated as `LL' +to denote the language's main dialect. For example, `de' is equivalent +to `de_DE' (German as spoken in Germany), and `pt' to `pt_PT' +(Portuguese as spoken in Portugal) in this context. + +Translating Teams +================= + +For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested +people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also +able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language. +Each translation team has its own mailing list. The up-to-date list of +teams can be found at the Free Translation Project's homepage, +`http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/', in the "National teams" +area. + + If you'd like to volunteer to _work_ at translating messages, you +should become a member of the translating team for your own language. +The subscribing address is _not_ the same as the list itself, it has +`-request' appended. For example, speakers of Swedish can send a +message to `sv-request@li.org', having this message body: + + subscribe + + Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate +_actively_ in translations, or at solving translational difficulties, +rather than merely lurking around. If your team does not exist yet and +you want to start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to +get started, please write to `translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to reach the +coordinator for all translator teams. + + The English team is special. It works at improving and uniformizing +the terminology in use. Proven linguistic skill are praised more than +programming skill, here. + +Available Packages +================== + +Languages are not equally supported in all packages. The following +matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of December +2003. The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages +PO files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a +translation percentage of at least 50%. + + Ready PO files am az be

By contrast, the GNU General Public +License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free +software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This +General Public License applies to most of the Free Software +Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to +using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by +the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to +your programs, too. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you +have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for +this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it +if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it +in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. + + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid +anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. +These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you +distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. + + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether +gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that +you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the +source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their +rights. + + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and +(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, +distribute and/or modify the software. + + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain +that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free +software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we +want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so +that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original +authors' reputations. + + Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software +patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free +program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the +program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any +patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. + + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and +modification follow. + + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + + 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains +a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed +under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, +refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" +means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: +that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, +either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another +language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in +the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". + +Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not +covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of +running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program +is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the +Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). +Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. + + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's +source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you +conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate +copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the +notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; +and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License +along with the Program. + +You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and +you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. + + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion +of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and +distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 +above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in + whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any + part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third + parties under the terms of this License. + + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively + when run, you must cause it, when started running for such + interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an + announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a + notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide + a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under + these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this + License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but + does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on + the Program is not required to print an announcement.) + +These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If +identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, +and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in +themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those +sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you +distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based +on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of +this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the +entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. + +Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest +your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to +exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or +collective works based on the Program. + +In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program +with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of +a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under +the scope of this License. + + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, +under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of +Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: + + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections + 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, + + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your + cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be + distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium + customarily used for software interchange; or, + + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer + to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you + received the program in object code or executable form with such + an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) + +The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for +making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source +code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any +associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to +control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a +special exception, the source code distributed need not include +anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary +form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the +operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component +itself accompanies the executable. + +If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering +access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent +access to copy the source code from the same place counts as +distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not +compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is +void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. +However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under +this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such +parties remain in full compliance. + + 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not +signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or +distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by +modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the +Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying +the Program or works based on it. + + 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the +Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the +original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to +these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to +this License. + + 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you +may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to +refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. + +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under +any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to +apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other +circumstances. + +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the +integrity of the free software distribution system, which is +implemented by public license practices. Many people have made +generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed +through that system in reliance on consistent application of that +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing +to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot +impose that choice. + +This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to +be a consequence of the rest of this License. + + 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the +original copyright holder who places the Program under this License +may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding +those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among +countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates +the limitation as if written in the body of this License. + + 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions +of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will +be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to +address new problems or concerns. + +Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any +later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions +either of that version or of any later version published by the Free +Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of +this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software +Foundation. + + 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free +programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author +to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free +Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes +make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals +of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and +of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. + + NO WARRANTY + + 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY +FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN +OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES +PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED +OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF +MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS +TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE +PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, +REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + + 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING +WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR +REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, +INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING +OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED +TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY +YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER +PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE +POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. + + END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS + + How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs + + If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest +possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it +free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. + + To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest +to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively +convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least +the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. + + <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> + Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> + + This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify + it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by + the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or + (at your option) any later version. + + This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the + GNU General Public License for more details. + + You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License + along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software + Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA + + +Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. + +If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this +when it starts in an interactive mode: + + Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author + Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. + This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it + under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. + +The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate +parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may +be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be +mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. + +You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your +school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if +necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: + + Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program + `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. + + <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 + Ty Coon, President of Vice + +This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into +proprietary programs.

Do not allow signals to + happen between arbitrary output bytes, as the + restore-default-color sequence can bollix up multibyte chars or + color-change sequences in the ordinary output. Instead, process + signals only between printing a file name and changing the color + back to non_filename_text color. That way, if the signal handler + changes the color (to the default), 'ls' will change it back when + 'ls' continues (after being suspended). + + Also, do not bother with signal-handling unless stdout is a + controlling terminal; this lets stdio buffer better when "ls + --color" is piped or sent to a file. + + * src/ls.c (sigprocmask, sigset_t) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]: New macros. + Do not include "full-write.h"; no longer needed. + (tcgetpgrp) [!

This fixes a race condition where 'ls' + could be interrupted while initializing colors, and leaving the + terminal in an undesirable state. + Don't mess with signal-handling if standard output is not a + controlling terminal. + When exiting, restore the default color, then restore the + default signal handling, then act on any signals that weren't + acted on yet. + Do not print //DIRED// etc. in colors; this avoids the need + to catch signals when printing them. + (print_name_with_quoting): Process signals just before switching + color back to non_filename_text. + +2004-04-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> + + Avoid segfault on systems for which SIZE_MAX != (size_t) -1. + * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use SIZE_MAX, not -1, in calls + of quotearg_buffer.

It uses +those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. +It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent +definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that +you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a +file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for +debugging `configure'). + + It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache' +and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves +the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. (Caching is +disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale +cache files.) + + If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try +to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail +diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can +be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at +some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you +may remove or edit it. + + The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create +`configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You only need +`configure.ac' if you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using +a newer version of `autoconf'. + +The simplest way to compile this package is: + + 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type + `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're + using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type + `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute + `configure' itself. + + Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some + messages telling which features it is checking for. + + 2. Type `make' to compile the package. + + 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with + the package. + + 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and + documentation. + + 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the + source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the + files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for + a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is + also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly + for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get + all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came + with the distribution. + +Compilers and Options +===================== + + Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that +the `configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help' +for details on some of the pertinent environment variables. + + You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters +by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here +is an example: + + ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix + + *Note Defining Variables::, for more details. + +Compiling For Multiple Architectures +==================================== + + You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the +same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their +own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that +supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the +directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run +the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the +source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. + + If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH' +variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a +time in the source code directory. After you have installed the +package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring +for another architecture. + +Installation Names +================== + + By default, `make install' will install the package's files in +`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an +installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the +option `--prefix=PATH'. + + You can specify separate installation prefixes for +architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you +give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use +PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. +Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix. + + In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give +options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular +kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories +you can set and what kinds of files go in them. + + If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed +with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the +option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'. + +Optional Features +================= + + Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to +`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package. +They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE +is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The +`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the +package recognizes. + + For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually +find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't, +you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and +`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations. + +Specifying the System Type +========================== + + There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out +automatically, but needs to determine by the type of machine the package +will run on. Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the +_same_ architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints +a message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the +`--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system +type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form: + + CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM + +where SYSTEM can have one of these forms: + + OS KERNEL-OS + + See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If +`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't +need to know the machine type. + + If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should +use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will +produce code for. + + If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a +platform different from the build platform, you should specify the +"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will +eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'. + +Sharing Defaults +================ + + If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, +you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives +default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'. +`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then +`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the +`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script. +A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script. + +Defining Variables +================== + + Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the +environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run +configure again during the build, and the customized values of these +variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set +them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example: + + ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc + +will cause the specified gcc to be used as the C compiler (unless it is +overridden in the site shell script). + +`configure' Invocation +====================== + + `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it +operates. + +`--help' +`-h' + Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit. + +`--version' +`-V' + Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure' + script, and exit. + +`--cache-file=FILE' + Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE, + traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to + disable caching. + +`--config-cache' +`-C' + Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'. + +`--quiet' +`--silent' +`-q' + Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To + suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error + messages will still be shown). + +`--srcdir=DIR' + Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually + `configure' can determine that directory automatically. + +`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run +`configure --help' for more details. + diff --git a/coreutils-5.3.0-bin/contrib/coreutils/5.3.0/coreutils-5.3.0-src/NEWS b/coreutils-5.3.0-bin/contrib/coreutils/5.3.0/coreutils-5.3.0-src/NEWS new file mode 100644 index 0000000..39aa810 --- /dev/null +++ b/coreutils-5.3.0-bin/contrib/coreutils/5.3.0/coreutils-5.3.0-src/NEWS @@ -0,0 +1,1024 @@ +GNU coreutils NEWS -*- outline -*- + +* Major changes in release 5.3.0 (2005-01-08) [unstable] + +** Bug fixes + + Several fixes to chgrp and chown for compatibility with POSIX and BSD: + + Do not affect symbolic links by default. + Now, operate on whatever a symbolic points to, instead. + To get the old behavior, use --no-dereference (-h). + + --dereference now works, even when the specified owner + and/or group match those of an affected symlink. + + Check for incompatible options. When -R and --dereference are + both used, then either -H or -L must also be used. When -R and -h + are both used, then -P must be in effect. + + -H, -L, and -P have no effect unless -R is also specified. + If -P and -R are both specified, -h is assumed. + + Do not optimize away the chown() system call when the file's owner + and group already have the desired value. This optimization was + incorrect, as it failed to update the last-changed time and reset + special permission bits, as POSIX requires. + + "chown : file", "chown '' file", and "chgrp '' file" now succeed + without changing the uid or gid, instead of reporting an error. + + Do not report an error if the owner or group of a + recursively-encountered symbolic link cannot be updated because + the file system does not support it. + + chmod now accepts multiple mode-like options, e.g., "chmod -r -w f". + + chown is no longer subject to a race condition vulnerability, when + used with --from=O:G and without the (-h) --no-dereference option. + + cut's --output-delimiter=D option works with abutting byte ranges. + + dircolors's documentation now recommends that shell scripts eval + "`dircolors`" rather than `dircolors`, to avoid shell expansion pitfalls. + + du no longer segfaults when a subdirectory of an operand + directory is removed while du is traversing that subdirectory. + Since the bug was in the underlying fts.c module, it also affected + chown, chmod, and chgrp. + + du's --exclude-from=FILE and --exclude=P options now compare patterns + against the entire name of each file, rather than against just the + final component. + + echo now conforms to POSIX better. It supports the \0ooo syntax for + octal escapes, and \c now terminates printing immediately. If + POSIXLY_CORRECT is set and the first argument is not "-n", echo now + outputs all option-like arguments instead of treating them as options. + + expand and unexpand now conform to POSIX better. They check for + blanks (which can include characters other than space and tab in + non-POSIX locales) instead of spaces and tabs. Unexpand now + preserves some blanks instead of converting them to tabs or spaces. + + "ln x d/" now reports an error if d/x is a directory and x a file, + instead of incorrectly creating a link to d/x/x. + + ls no longer segfaults on systems for which SIZE_MAX != (size_t) -1. + + md5sum and sha1sum now report an error when given so many input + lines that their line counter overflows, instead of silently + reporting incorrect results. + + Fixes for "nice": + + If it fails to lower the nice value due to lack of permissions, + it goes ahead and runs the command anyway, as POSIX requires. + + It no longer incorrectly reports an error if the current nice + value happens to be -1. + + It no longer assumes that nice values range from -20 through 19. + + It now consistently adjusts out-of-range nice values to the + closest values in range; formerly it sometimes reported an error. + + pathchk no longer accepts trailing options, e.g., "pathchk -p foo -b" + now treats -b as a file name to check, not as an invalid option. + + `pr --columns=N' was not equivalent to `pr -N' when also using + either -s or -w. + + pr now supports page numbers up to 2**64 on most hosts, and it + detects page number overflow instead of silently wrapping around. + pr now accepts file names that begin with "+" so long as the rest of + the file name does not look like a page range. + + printf has several changes: + + It now uses 'intmax_t' (not 'long int') to format integers, so it + can now format 64-bit integers on most modern hosts. + + On modern hosts it now supports the C99-inspired %a, %A, %F conversion + specs, the "'" and "0" flags, and the ll, j, t, and z length modifiers + (this is compatible with recent Bash versions). + + The printf command now rejects invalid conversion specifications + like %#d, instead of relying on undefined behavior in the underlying + printf function. + + ptx now diagnoses invalid values for its --width=N (-w) + and --gap-size=N (-g) options. + + mv (when moving between partitions) no longer fails when + operating on too many command-line-specified nonempty directories. + + rm (without -f) no longer hangs when attempting to remove a symlink + to a file on an off-line NFS-mounted partition. + + rm no longer gets a failed assertion under some unusual conditions. + + rm no longer requires read access to the current directory. + + "rm -r" would mistakenly fail to remove files under a directory + for some types of errors (e.g., read-only file system, I/O error) + when first encountering the directory. + + "sort" fixes: + + "sort -o -" now writes to a file named "-" instead of to standard + output; POSIX requires this. + + An unlikely race condition has been fixed where "sort" could have + mistakenly removed a temporary file belonging to some other process. + + "sort" no longer has O(N**2) behavior when it creates many temporary files. + + tac can now handle regular, nonseekable files like Linux's + /proc/modules. Before, it would produce no output for such a file. + + tac would exit immediately upon I/O or temp-file creation failure. + Now it continues on, processing any remaining command line arguments. + + "tail -f" no longer mishandles pipes and fifos. With no operands, + tail now ignores -f if standard input is a pipe, as POSIX requires. + When conforming to POSIX 1003.2-1992, tail now supports the SUSv2 b + modifier (e.g., "tail -10b file") and it handles some obscure cases + more correctly, e.g., "tail +cl" now reads the file "+cl" rather + than reporting an error, "tail -c file" no longer reports an error, + and "tail - file" no longer reads standard input. + + tee now exits when it gets a SIGPIPE signal, as POSIX requires. + To get tee's old behavior, use the shell command "(trap '' PIPE; tee)". + Also, "tee -" now writes to standard output instead of to a file named "-". + + "touch -- MMDDhhmm[yy] file" is now equivalent to + "touch MMDDhhmm[yy] file" even when conforming to pre-2001 POSIX. + + tr no longer mishandles a second operand with leading "-". + + who now prints user names in full instead of truncating them after 8 bytes. + + The following commands now reject unknown options instead of + accepting them as operands, so that users are properly warned that + options may be added later. Formerly they accepted unknown options + as operands; e.g., "basename -a a" acted like "basename -- -a a". + + basename dirname factor hostname link nohup sync unlink yes + +** New features + + For efficiency, `sort -m' no longer copies input to a temporary file + merely because the input happens to come from a pipe. As a result, + some relatively-contrived examples like `cat F | sort -m -o F - G' + are no longer safe, as `sort' might start writing F before `cat' is + done reading it. This problem cannot occur unless `-m' is used. + + When outside the default POSIX locale, the 'who' and 'pinky' + commands now output time stamps like "2004-06-21 13:09" instead of + the traditional "Jun 21 13:09". + + pwd now works even when run from a working directory whose name + is longer than PATH_MAX. + + cp, install, ln, and mv have a new --no-target-directory (-T) option, + and -t is now a short name for their --target-directory option. + + cp -pu and mv -u (when copying) now don't bother to update the + destination if the resulting time stamp would be no newer than the + preexisting time stamp. This saves work in the common case when + copying or moving multiple times to the same destination in a file + system with a coarse time stamp resolution. + + cut accepts a new option, --complement, to complement the set of + selected bytes, characters, or fields. + + dd now also prints the number of bytes transferred, the time, and the + transfer rate. The new "status=noxfer" operand suppresses this change. + + dd has new conversions for the conv= option: + + nocreat do not create the output file + excl fail if the output file already exists + fdatasync physically write output file data before finishing + fsync likewise, but also write metadata + + dd has new iflag= and oflag= options with the following flags: + + append append mode (makes sense for output file only) + direct use direct I/O for data + dsync use synchronized I/O for data + sync likewise, but also for metadata + nonblock use non-blocking I/O + nofollow do not follow symlinks + noctty do not assign controlling terminal from file + + stty now provides support (iutf8) for setting UTF-8 input mode. + + With stat, a specified format is no longer automatically newline terminated. + If you want a newline at the end of your output, append `\n' to the format + string. + + 'df', 'du', and 'ls' now take the default block size from the + BLOCKSIZE environment variable if the BLOCK_SIZE, DF_BLOCK_SIZE, + DU_BLOCK_SIZE, and LS_BLOCK_SIZE environment variables are not set. + Unlike the other variables, though, BLOCKSIZE does not affect + values like 'ls -l' sizes that are normally displayed as bytes. + This new behavior is for compatibility with BSD. + + du accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE contains a + list of NUL-terminated file names. + + Date syntax as used by date -d, date -f, and touch -d has been + changed as follows: + + Dates like `January 32' with out-of-range components are now rejected. + + Dates can have fractional time stamps like 2004-02-27 14:19:13.489392193. + + Dates can be entered via integer counts of seconds since 1970 when + prefixed by `@'. For example, `@321' represents 1970-01-01 00:05:21 UTC. + + Time zone corrections can now separate hours and minutes with a colon, + and can follow standard abbreviations like "UTC". For example, + "UTC +0530" and "+05:30" are supported, and are both equivalent to "+0530". + + Date values can now have leading TZ="..." assignments that override + the environment only while that date is being processed. For example, + the following shell command converts from Paris to New York time: + + TZ="America/New_York" date --date='TZ="Europe/Paris" 2004-10-31 06:30' + + `date' has a new option --iso-8601=ns that outputs + nanosecond-resolution time stamps. + + echo -e '\xHH' now outputs a byte whose hexadecimal value is HH, + for compatibility with bash. + + ls now exits with status 1 on minor problems, 2 if serious trouble. + + ls has a new --hide=PATTERN option that behaves like + --ignore=PATTERN, except that it is overridden by -a or -A. + This can be useful for aliases, e.g., if lh is an alias for + "ls --hide='*~'", then "lh -A" lists the file "README~". + + In the following cases POSIX allows the default GNU behavior, + so when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set: + + false, printf, true, unlink, and yes all support --help and --option. + ls supports TABSIZE. + pr no longer depends on LC_TIME for the date format in non-POSIX locales. + printf supports \u, \U, \x. + tail supports two or more files when using the obsolete option syntax. + + The usual `--' operand is now supported by chroot, hostid, hostname, + pwd, sync, and yes. + + `od' now conforms to POSIX better, and is more compatible with BSD: + + The older syntax "od [-abcdfilosx]... [FILE] [[+]OFFSET[.][b]]" now works + even without --traditional. This is a change in behavior if there + are one or two operands and the last one begins with +, or if + there are two operands and the latter one begins with a digit. + For example, "od foo 10" and "od +10" now treat the last operand as + an offset, not as a file name. + + -h is no longer documented, and may be withdrawn in future versions. + Use -x or -t x2 instead. + + -i is now equivalent to -t dI (not -t d2), and + -l is now equivalent to -t dL (not -t d4). + + -s is now equivalent to -t d2. The old "-s[NUM]" or "-s NUM" + option has been renamed to "-S NUM". + + The default output format is now -t oS, not -t o2, i.e., short int + rather than two-byte int. This makes a difference only on hosts like + Cray systems where the C short int type requires more than two bytes. + + The stat option --filesystem has been renamed to --file-system, for + consistency with POSIX "file system" and with cp and du --one-file-system. + +** Removed features + + md5sum and sha1sum's undocumented --string option has been removed. + + tail's undocumented --max-consecutive-size-changes option has been removed. + +* Major changes in release 5.2.1 (2004-03-12) [stable] + +** Bug fixes + + mv could mistakenly fail to preserve hard links when moving two + or more arguments between partitions. + + `cp --sparse=always F /dev/hdx' no longer tries to use lseek to create + holes in the destination. + + nohup now sets the close-on-exec flag for its copy of the stderr file + descriptor. This avoids some nohup-induced hangs. For example, before + this change, if you ran `ssh localhost', then `nohup sleep 600 </dev/null &', + and then exited that remote shell, the ssh session would hang until the + 10-minute sleep terminated.

GNU Emacs 21 + and later can parse ISO dates, but older Emacs versions cannot, so + if you are using an older version of Emacs outside the default POSIX + locale, you may need to set TIME_STYLE="locale". + +* --full-time is now an alias for "-l --time-style=full-iso". + + +======================================================================== +Here are the NEWS entries made from sh-utils-2.0 until the +point at which the packages merged to form the coreutils: + + [2.0.15] +* date no longer accepts e.g., September 31 in the MMDDhhmm syntax +* fix a bug in this package's .m4 files and in configure.ac + [2.0.14] +* nohup's behavior is changed as follows, to conform to POSIX 1003.1-2001: + - nohup no longer adjusts scheduling priority; use "nice" for that. + - nohup now redirects stderr to stdout, if stderr is not a terminal. + - nohup exit status is now 126 if command was found but not invoked, + 127 if nohup failed or if command was not found. + [2.0.13] +* uname and uptime work better on *BSD systems +* pathchk now exits nonzero for a path with a directory component + that specifies a non-directory + [2.0.12] +* kill: new program +* who accepts new options: --all (-a), --boot (-b), --dead (-d), --login, + --process (-p), --runlevel (-r), --short (-s), --time (-t), --users (-u). + The -u option now produces POSIX-specified results and is the same as + the long option `--users'. --idle is no longer the same as -u. +* The following changes apply on systems conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, + and are required by the new POSIX standard: + - `date -I' is no longer supported.

This +is not due to a bug in the package but instead due to a bug in the +system header file which breaks things in 64-bit mode. The default +compilation mode is 32-bit and the software compiles fine using the +default mode. To build this software in 64-bit mode you will need +to fix the system /usr/include/inttypes.h header file. After +correcting that file the software also compiles fine in 64-bit mode. +Here is one possible patch to correct the problem: + +--- /usr/include/inttypes.h.orig Thu May 30 01:00:00 1996 ++++ /usr/include/inttypes.h Sun Mar 23 00:20:36 2003 +@@ -489 +489 @@ +-#ifndef __STDC_32_MODE__ ++#ifndef __LP64__ + + +********************** +Running tests as root: +---------------------- + +If you run the tests as root, note that a few of them create files +and/or run programs as a non-root user, `nobody' by default. +If you want to use some other non-root username, specify it via +the NON_ROOT_USERNAME environment variable. Depending on the +permissions with which the working directories have been created, +using `nobody' may fail, because that user won't have the required +read and write access to the build and test directories. +I find that it is best to unpack and build as a non-privileged +user, and then to run the following command as that user in order +to run the privilege-requiring tests: + + sudo env NON_ROOT_USERNAME=$USER make -k check + +If you can run the tests as root, please do so and report any +problems. We get much less test coverage in that mode, and it's +arguably more important that these tools work well when run by +root than when run by less privileged users. + + +*************** +Reporting bugs: +--------------- + +IMPORTANT: if you take the time to report a test failure, +please be sure to include the output of running `make check' +in verbose mode for each each failing test. For example, +if the test that fails is tests/mv/hard-link-1, then you +would run this command: + + env VERBOSE=yes make check -C tests/mv TESTS=hard-link-1 >> log 2>&1 + +and then include the contents of the file `log' in your bug report. + +*************************************** + +There are pretty many tests, but nowhere near as many as we need. +Additions and corrections are very welcome. + +If you see a problem that you've already reported, feel free to re-report +it -- it won't bother me to get a reminder. Besides, the more messages I +get regarding a particular problem the sooner it'll be fixed -- usually. +If you sent a complete patch and, after a couple weeks you haven't +received any acknowledgement, please ping us. A complete patch includes +a well-written ChangeLog entry, unified (diff -u format) diffs relative +to the most recent test release (or, better, relative to the latest +sources in the CVS repository), an explanation for why the patch is +necessary or useful, and if at all possible, enough information to +reproduce whatever problem prompted it. Plus, you'll earn lots of +karma if you include a test case to exercise any bug(s) you fix. +Instructions for checking out the latest source via CVS are here: + + http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=coreutils + + +If your patch adds a new feature, please try to get some sort of consensus +that it is a worthwhile change. One way to do that is to send mail to +bug-coreutils@gnu.org including as much description and justification +as you can. Based on the feedback that generates, you may be able to +convince us that it's worth adding. + + +WARNING: If you modify files like configure.in, m4/*.m4, aclocal.m4, +or any Makefile.am, then don't be surprised if what gets regenerated no +longer works.

coreutils.info, Node: Introduction, Next: Common options, Prev: Top, Up: Top + +1 Introduction +************** + +This manual is a work in progress: many sections make no attempt to +explain basic concepts in a way suitable for novices. Thus, if you are +interested, please get involved in improving this manual. The entire +GNU community will benefit. + + The GNU utilities documented here are mostly compatible with the +POSIX standard. Please report bugs to <bug-coreutils@gnu.org>. +Remember to include the version number, machine architecture, input +files, and any other information needed to reproduce the bug: your +input, what you expected, what you got, and why it is wrong. Diffs are +welcome, but please include a description of the problem as well, since +this is sometimes difficult to infer. *Note Bugs: (gcc)Bugs. + + This manual was originally derived from the Unix man pages in the +distributions, which were written by David MacKenzie and updated by Jim +Meyering. What you are reading now is the authoritative documentation +for these utilities; the man pages are no longer being maintained. The +original `fmt' man page was written by Ross Paterson. Franc,ois Pinard +did the initial conversion to Texinfo format. Karl Berry did the +indexing, some reorganization, and editing of the results. Brian +Youmans of the Free Software Foundation office staff combined the +manuals for textutils, fileutils, and sh-utils to produce the present +omnibus manual. Richard Stallman contributed his usual invaluable +insights to the overall process. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Common options, Next: Output of entire files, Prev: Introduction, Up: Top + +2 Common options +**************** + +Certain options are available in all of these programs. Rather than +writing identical descriptions for each of the programs, they are +described here. (In fact, every GNU program accepts (or should accept) +these options.) + + Normally options and operands can appear in any order, and programs +act as if all the options appear before any operands. For example, +`sort -r passwd -t :' acts like `sort -r -t : passwd', since `:' is an +option-argument of `-t'. However, if the `POSIXLY_CORRECT' environment +variable is set, options must appear before operands, unless otherwise +specified for a particular command. + + A few programs can usefully have trailing operands with leading `-'. +With such a program, options must precede operands even if +`POSIXLY_CORRECT' is not set, and this fact is noted in the program +description. For example, the `env' command's options must appear +before its operands, since in some cases the operands specify a command +that itself contains options. + + Some of these programs recognize the `--help' and `--version' +options only when one of them is the sole command line argument. + +`--help' + Print a usage message listing all available options, then exit + successfully. + +`--version' + Print the version number, then exit successfully. + +`--' + Delimit the option list. Later arguments, if any, are treated as + operands even if they begin with `-'. For example, `sort -- -r' + reads from the file named `-r'. + + + A single `-' operand is not really an option, though it looks like +one. It stands for standard input, or for standard output if that is +clear from the context. For example, `sort -' reads from standard +input, and is equivalent to plain `sort', and `tee -' writes an extra +copy of its input to standard output. Unless otherwise specified, `-' +can appear as any operand that requires a file name. + +* Menu: + +* Exit status:: Indicating program success or failure. +* Backup options:: -b -S -V, in some programs. +* Block size:: BLOCK_SIZE and --block-size, in some programs. +* Target directory:: Specifying a target directory, in some programs. +* Trailing slashes:: --strip-trailing-slashes, in some programs. +* Traversing symlinks:: -H, -L, or -P, in some programs. +* Treating / specially:: --preserve-root and --no-preserve-root. +* Special built-in utilities:: `break', `:', `eval', ... +* Standards conformance:: Conformance to the POSIX standard. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Exit status, Next: Backup options, Up: Common options + +2.1 Exit status +=============== + +Nearly every command invocation yields an integral "exit status" that +can be used to change how other commands work. For the vast majority +of commands, an exit status of zero indicates success. Failure is +indicated by a nonzero value--typically `1', though it may differ on +unusual platforms as POSIX requires only that it be nonzero. + + However, some of the programs documented here do produce other exit +status values and a few associate different meanings with the values +`0' and `1'. Here are some of the exceptions: `chroot', `env', `expr', +`nice', `nohup', `printenv', `sort', `su', `test', `tty'. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Backup options, Next: Block size, Prev: Exit status, Up: Common options + +2.2 Backup options +================== + +Some GNU programs (at least `cp', `install', `ln', and `mv') optionally +make backups of files before writing new versions. These options +control the details of these backups. The options are also briefly +mentioned in the descriptions of the particular programs. + +`-b' +`--backup[=METHOD]' + Make a backup of each file that would otherwise be overwritten or + removed. Without this option, the original versions are destroyed. + Use METHOD to determine the type of backups to make. When this + option is used but METHOD is not specified, then the value of the + `VERSION_CONTROL' environment variable is used. And if + `VERSION_CONTROL' is not set, the default backup type is + `existing'. + + Note that the short form of this option, `-b' does not accept any + argument. Using `-b' is equivalent to using `--backup=existing'. + + This option corresponds to the Emacs variable `version-control'; + the values for METHOD are the same as those used in Emacs. This + option also accepts more descriptive names. The valid METHODs are + (unique abbreviations are accepted): + + `none' + `off' + Never make backups. + + `numbered' + `t' + Always make numbered backups. + + `existing' + `nil' + Make numbered backups of files that already have them, simple + backups of the others. + + `simple' + `never' + Always make simple backups. Please note `never' is not to be + confused with `none'. + + +`-S SUFFIX' +`--suffix=SUFFIX' + Append SUFFIX to each backup file made with `-b'. If this option + is not specified, the value of the `SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX' + environment variable is used. And if `SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX' is not + set, the default is `~', just as in Emacs. + +`--version-control=METHOD' + This option is obsolete and will be removed in a future release. + It has been replaced with `--backup'. + + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Block size, Next: Target directory, Prev: Backup options, Up: Common options + +2.3 Block size +============== + +Some GNU programs (at least `df', `du', and `ls') display sizes in +"blocks". You can adjust the block size and method of display to make +sizes easier to read. The block size used for display is independent +of any file system block size. Fractional block counts are rounded up +to the nearest integer. + + The default block size is chosen by examining the following +environment variables in turn; the first one that is set determines the +block size. + +`DF_BLOCK_SIZE' + This specifies the default block size for the `df' command. + Similarly, `DU_BLOCK_SIZE' specifies the default for `du' and + `LS_BLOCK_SIZE' for `ls'. + +`BLOCK_SIZE' + This specifies the default block size for all three commands, if + the above command-specific environment variables are not set. + +`BLOCKSIZE' + This specifies the default block size for all values that are + normally printed as blocks, if neither `BLOCK_SIZE' nor the above + command-specific environment variables are set. Unlike the other + environment variables, `BLOCKSIZE' does not affect values that are + normally printed as byte counts, e.g., the file sizes contained in + `ls -l' output. + +`POSIXLY_CORRECT' + If neither `COMMAND_BLOCK_SIZE', nor `BLOCK_SIZE', nor `BLOCKSIZE' + is set, but this variable is set, the block size defaults to 512. + + + If none of the above environment variables are set, the block size +currently defaults to 1024 bytes in most contexts, but this number may +change in the future. For `ls' file sizes, the block size defaults to +1 byte. + + A block size specification can be a positive integer specifying the +number of bytes per block, or it can be `human-readable' or `si' to +select a human-readable format. Integers may be followed by suffixes +that are upward compatible with the SI prefixes +(http://www.bipm.fr/enus/3_SI/si-prefixes.html) for decimal multiples +and with the IEC 60027-2 prefixes for binary multiples +(http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html). + + With human-readable formats, output sizes are followed by a size +letter such as `M' for megabytes. `BLOCK_SIZE=human-readable' uses +powers of 1024; `M' stands for 1,048,576 bytes. `BLOCK_SIZE=si' is +similar, but uses powers of 1000 and appends `B'; `MB' stands for +1,000,000 bytes. + + A block size specification preceded by `'' causes output sizes to be +displayed with thousands separators. The `LC_NUMERIC' locale specifies +the thousands separator and grouping. For example, in an American +English locale, `--block-size="'1kB"' would cause a size of 1234000 +bytes to be displayed as `1,234'. In the default C locale, there is no +thousands separator so a leading `'' has no effect. + + An integer block size can be followed by a suffix to specify a +multiple of that size. A bare size letter, or one followed by `iB', +specifies a multiple using powers of 1024. A size letter followed by +`B' specifies powers of 1000 instead. For example, `1M' and `1MiB' are +equivalent to `1048576', whereas `1MB' is equivalent to `1000000'. + + A plain suffix without a preceding integer acts as if `1' were +prepended, except that it causes a size indication to be appended to +the output. For example, `--block-size="kB"' displays 3000 as `3kB'. + + The following suffixes are defined. Large sizes like `1Y' may be +rejected by your computer due to limitations of its arithmetic. + +`kB' + kilobyte: 10^3 = 1000. + +`k' +`K' +`KiB' + kibibyte: 2^10 = 1024. `K' is special: the SI prefix is `k' and + the IEC 60027-2 prefix is `Ki', but tradition and POSIX use `k' to + mean `KiB'. + +`MB' + megabyte: 10^6 = 1,000,000. + +`M' +`MiB' + mebibyte: 2^20 = 1,048,576. + +`GB' + gigabyte: 10^9 = 1,000,000,000. + +`G' +`GiB' + gibibyte: 2^30 = 1,073,741,824. + +`TB' + terabyte: 10^12 = 1,000,000,000,000. + +`T' +`TiB' + tebibyte: 2^40 = 1,099,511,627,776. + +`PB' + petabyte: 10^15 = 1,000,000,000,000,000. + +`P' +`PiB' + pebibyte: 2^50 = 1,125,899,906,842,624. + +`EB' + exabyte: 10^18 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. + +`E' +`EiB' + exbibyte: 2^60 = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976. + +`ZB' + zettabyte: 10^21 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 + +`Z' +`ZiB' + 2^70 = 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424.

The `-k' option is equivalent to +`--block-size=1K', which is the default unless the `POSIXLY_CORRECT' +environment variable is set. The `-h' or `--human-readable' option is +equivalent to `--block-size=human-readable'. The `--si' option is +equivalent to `--block-size=si'. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Target directory, Next: Trailing slashes, Prev: Block size, Up: Common options + +2.4 Target directory +==================== + +The `cp', `install', `ln', and `mv' commands normally treat the last +operand specially when it is a directory or a symbolic link to a +directory. For example, `cp source dest' is equivalent to `cp source +dest/source' if `dest' is a directory. Sometimes this behavior is not +exactly what is wanted, so these commands support the following options +to allow more fine-grained control: + +`-T' +`--no-target-directory' + Do not treat the last operand specially when it is a directory or a + symbolic link to a directory. This can help avoid race conditions + in programs that operate in a shared area. For example, when the + command `mv /tmp/source /tmp/dest' succeeds, there is no guarantee + that `/tmp/source' was renamed to `/tmp/dest': it could have been + renamed to `/tmp/dest/source' instead, if some other process + created `/tmp/dest' as a directory. However, if `mv -T + /tmp/source /tmp/dest' succeeds, there is no question that + `/tmp/source' was renamed to `/tmp/dest'. + + In the opposite situation, where you want the last operand to be + treated as a directory and want a diagnostic otherwise, you can use + the `--target-directory' (`-t') option. + +`-t DIRECTORY' +`--target-directory=DIRECTORY' + Use DIRECTORY as the directory component of each destination file + name. + + The interface for most programs is that after processing options + and a finite (possibly zero) number of fixed-position arguments, + the remaining argument list is either expected to be empty, or is + a list of items (usually files) that will all be handled + identically. The `xargs' program is designed to work well with + this convention. + + The commands in the `mv'-family are unusual in that they take a + variable number of arguments with a special case at the _end_ + (namely, the target directory). This makes it nontrivial to + perform some operations, e.g., "move all files from here to + ../d/", because `mv * ../d/' might exhaust the argument space, and + `ls | xargs ...' doesn't have a clean way to specify an extra + final argument for each invocation of the subject command. (It + can be done by going through a shell command, but that requires + more human labor and brain power than it should.) + + The `--target-directory' (`-t') option allows the `cp', `install', + `ln', and `mv' programs to be used conveniently with `xargs'. For + example, you can move the files from the current directory to a + sibling directory, `d' like this: + + ls | xargs mv -t ../d -- + + However, this doesn't move files whose names begin with `.'. If + you use the GNU `find' program, you can move those files too, with + this command: + + find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 \ + | xargs mv -t ../d + + But both of the above approaches fail if there are no files in the + current directory, or if any file has a name containing a blank or + some other special characters. The following example removes + those limitations and requires both GNU `find' and GNU `xargs': + + find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -print0 \ + | xargs --null --no-run-if-empty \ + mv -t ../d + + +The `--target-directory' (`-t') and `--no-target-directory' (`-T') +options cannot be combined. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Trailing slashes, Next: Traversing symlinks, Prev: Target directory, Up: Common options + +2.5 Trailing slashes +==================== + +Some GNU programs (at least `cp' and `mv') allow you to remove any +trailing slashes from each SOURCE argument before operating on it. The +`--strip-trailing-slashes' option enables this behavior. + + This is useful when a SOURCE argument may have a trailing slash and +specify a symbolic link to a directory. This scenario is in fact rather +common because some shells can automatically append a trailing slash +when performing file name completion on such symbolic links. Without +this option, `mv', for example, (via the system's rename function) must +interpret a trailing slash as a request to dereference the symbolic link +and so must rename the indirectly referenced _directory_ and not the +symbolic link. Although it may seem surprising that such behavior be +the default, it is required by POSIX and is consistent with other parts +of that standard. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Traversing symlinks, Next: Treating / specially, Prev: Trailing slashes, Up: Common options + +2.6 Traversing symlinks +======================= + +The following options modify how `chown' and `chgrp' traverse a +hierarchy when the `--recursive' (`-R') option is also specified. If +more than one of the following options is specified, only the final one +takes effect. These options specify whether processing a symbolic link +to a directory entails operating on just the symbolic link or on all +files in the hierarchy rooted at that directory. + + These options are independent of `--dereference' and +`--no-dereference' (`-h'), which control whether to modify a symlink or +its referent. + +`-H' + If `--recursive' (`-R') is specified and a command line argument + is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it. + +`-L' + In a recursive traversal, traverse every symbolic link to a + directory that is encountered. + +`-P' + Do not traverse any symbolic links. This is the default if none + of `-H', `-L', or `-P' is specified. + + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Treating / specially, Next: Special built-in utilities, Prev: Traversing symlinks, Up: Common options + +2.7 Treating / specially +======================== + +Certain commands can operate destructively on entire hierarchies. For +example, if a user with appropriate privileges mistakenly runs `rm -rf +/ tmp/junk' or `cd /bin; rm -rf ../', that may remove all files on the +entire system. Since there are so few (1) legitimate uses for such a +command, GNU `rm' provides the `--preserve-root' option to make it so +`rm' declines to operate on any directory that resolves to `/'. The +default is still to allow `rm -rf /' to operate unimpeded. Another new +option, `--no-preserve-root', cancels the effect of any preceding +`--preserve-root' option. Note that the `--preserve-root' behavior may +become the default for `rm'. + + The commands `chgrp', `chmod' and `chown' can also operate +destructively on entire hierarchies, so they too support these options. +Although, unlike `rm', they don't actually unlink files, these +commands are arguably more dangerous when operating recursively on `/', +since they often work much more quickly, and hence damage more files +before an alert user can interrupt them. + + ---------- Footnotes ---------- + + (1) If you know of one, please write to <bug-coreutils@gnu.org>. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Special built-in utilities, Next: Standards conformance, Prev: Treating / specially, Up: Common options + +2.8 Special built-in utilities +============================== + +Some programs like `nice' can invoke other programs; for example, the +command `nice cat file' invokes the program `cat' by executing the +command `cat file'. However, "special built-in utilities" like `exit' +cannot be invoked this way. For example, the command `nice exit' does +not have a well-defined behavior: it may generate an error message +instead of exiting. + + Here is a list of the special built-in utilities that are +standardized by POSIX 1003.1-2004. + + . : break continue eval exec exit export readonly return set shift + times trap unset + + For example, because `.', `:', and `exec' are special, the commands +`nice . foo.sh', `nice :', and `nice exec pwd' do not work as you might +expect. + + Many shells extend this list. For example, Bash has several extra +special built-in utilities like `history', and `suspend', and with Bash +the command `nice suspend' generates an error message instead of +suspending. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Standards conformance, Prev: Special built-in utilities, Up: Common options + +2.9 Standards conformance +========================= + +In a few cases, the GNU utilities' default behavior is incompatible +with the POSIX standard. To suppress these incompatibilities, define +the `POSIXLY_CORRECT' environment variable. Unless you are checking +for POSIX conformance, you probably do not need to define +`POSIXLY_CORRECT'. + + Newer versions of POSIX are occasionally incompatible with older +versions. For example, older versions of POSIX required the command +`sort +1' to sort based on the second and succeeding fields in each +input line, but starting with POSIX 1003.1-2001 the same command is +required to sort the file named `+1', and you must instead use the +command `sort -k 2' to get the field-based sort. + + The GNU utilities normally conform to the version of POSIX that is +standard for your system. To cause them to conform to a different +version of POSIX, define the `_POSIX2_VERSION' environment variable to +a value of the form YYYYMM specifying the year and month the standard +was adopted. Two values are currently supported for `_POSIX2_VERSION': +`199209' stands for POSIX 1003.2-1992, and `200112' stands for POSIX +1003.1-2001. For example, if you are running older software that +assumes an older version of POSIX and uses `sort +1', `head -10', or +`tail +10', you can work around the compatibility problems by setting +`_POSIX2_VERSION=199209' in your environment. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Output of entire files, Next: Formatting file contents, Prev: Common options, Up: Top + +3 Output of entire files +************************ + +These commands read and write entire files, possibly transforming them +in some way. + +* Menu: + +* cat invocation:: Concatenate and write files. +* tac invocation:: Concatenate and write files in reverse. +* nl invocation:: Number lines and write files. +* od invocation:: Write files in octal or other formats. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: cat invocation, Next: tac invocation, Up: Output of entire files + +3.1 `cat': Concatenate and write files +====================================== + +`cat' copies each FILE (`-' means standard input), or standard input if +none are given, to standard output.

Some + options (see below) cause `cat' to read and write files in text + mode because in those cases the original file contents aren't + important (e.g., when lines are numbered by `cat', or when line + endings should be marked). This is so these options work as + DOS/Windows users would expect; for example, DOS-style text files + have their lines end with the CR-LF pair of characters, which + won't be processed as an empty line by `-b' unless the file is + read in text mode. + +`-b' +`--number-nonblank' + Number all nonblank output lines, starting with 1.

Synopsis: + + fmt [OPTION]... [FILE]... + + `fmt' reads from the specified FILE arguments (or standard input if +none are given), and writes to standard output. + + By default, blank lines, spaces between words, and indentation are +preserved in the output; successive input lines with different +indentation are not joined; tabs are expanded on input and introduced on +output. + + `fmt' prefers breaking lines at the end of a sentence, and tries to +avoid line breaks after the first word of a sentence or before the last +word of a sentence. A "sentence break" is defined as either the end of +a paragraph or a word ending in any of `.?!', followed by two spaces or +end of line, ignoring any intervening parentheses or quotes. Like TeX, +`fmt' reads entire "paragraphs" before choosing line breaks; the +algorithm is a variant of that given by Donald E.

Synopsis: + + pr [OPTION]... [FILE]... + + By default, a 5-line header is printed at each page: two blank lines; +a line with the date, the file name, and the page count; and two more +blank lines. A footer of five blank lines is also printed. With the +`-F' option, a 3-line header is printed: the leading two blank lines are +omitted; no footer is used. The default PAGE_LENGTH in both cases is 66 +lines. The default number of text lines changes from 56 (without `-F') +to 63 (with `-F'). The text line of the header takes the form `DATE +STRING PAGE', with spaces inserted around STRING so that the line takes +up the full PAGE_WIDTH. Here, DATE is the date (see the `-D' or +`--date-format' option for details), STRING is the centered header +string, and PAGE identifies the page number. The `LC_MESSAGES' locale +category affects the spelling of PAGE; in the default C locale, it is +`Page NUMBER' where NUMBER is the decimal page number. + + Form feeds in the input cause page breaks in the output. Multiple +form feeds produce empty pages. + + Columns are of equal width, separated by an optional string (default +is `space'). For multicolumn output, lines will always be truncated to +PAGE_WIDTH (default 72), unless you use the `-J' option. For single +column output no line truncation occurs by default. Use `-W' option to +truncate lines in that case. + + The following changes were made in version 1.22i and apply to later +versions of `pr': - Brian + * Some small LETTER OPTIONS (`-s', `-w') have been redefined for + better POSIX compliance. The output of some further cases has + been adapted to other Unix systems. These changes are not + compatible with earlier versions of the program. + + * Some NEW CAPITAL LETTER options (`-J', `-S', `-W') have been + introduced to turn off unexpected interferences of small letter + options. The `-N' option and the second argument LAST_PAGE of + `+FIRST_PAGE' offer more flexibility. The detailed handling of + form feeds set in the input files requires the `-T' option. + + * Capital letter options override small letter ones. + + * Some of the option-arguments (compare `-s', `-e', `-i', `-n') + cannot be specified as separate arguments from the preceding + option letter (already stated in the POSIX specification). + + The program accepts the following options. Also see *Note Common +options::. + +`+FIRST_PAGE[:LAST_PAGE]' +`--pages=FIRST_PAGE[:LAST_PAGE]' + Begin printing with page FIRST_PAGE and stop with LAST_PAGE. + Missing `:LAST_PAGE' implies end of file. While estimating the + number of skipped pages each form feed in the input file results + in a new page. Page counting with and without `+FIRST_PAGE' is + identical. By default, counting starts with the first page of + input file (not first page printed). Line numbering may be + altered by `-N' option. + +`-COLUMN' +`--columns=COLUMN' + With each single FILE, produce COLUMN columns of output (default + is 1) and print columns down, unless `-a' is used. The column + width is automatically decreased as COLUMN increases; unless you + use the `-W/-w' option to increase PAGE_WIDTH as well. This + option might well cause some lines to be truncated. The number of + lines in the columns on each page are balanced. The options `-e' + and `-i' are on for multiple text-column output. Together with + `-J' option column alignment and line truncation is turned off. + Lines of full length are joined in a free field format and `-S' + option may set field separators. `-COLUMN' may not be used with + `-m' option. + +`-a' +`--across' + With each single FILE, print columns across rather than down. The + `-COLUMN' option must be given with COLUMN greater than one. If a + line is too long to fit in a column, it is truncated. + +`-c' +`--show-control-chars' + Print control characters using hat notation (e.g., `^G'); print + other nonprinting characters in octal backslash notation. By + default, nonprinting characters are not changed. + +`-d' +`--double-space' + Double space the output. + +`-D FORMAT' +`--date-format=FORMAT' + Format header dates using FORMAT, using the same conventions as + for the the command `date +FORMAT'; *Note date invocation::. + Except for directives, which start with `%', characters in FORMAT + are printed unchanged. You can use this option to specify an + arbitrary string in place of the header date, e.g., + `--date-format="Monday morning"'. + + Normally the date format defaults to `%Y-%m-%d %H:%M' (for + example, `2001-12-04 23:59'); but if the `POSIXLY_CORRECT' + environment variable is set and the `LC_TIME' locale category + specifies the POSIX locale, the default is `%b %e %H:%M %Y' (for + example, `Dec 4 23:59 2001'. + + Time stamps are listed according to the time zone rules specified + by the `TZ' environment variable, or by the system default rules if + `TZ' is not set. *Note Specifying the Time Zone with `TZ': + (libc)TZ Variable. + +`-e[IN-TABCHAR[IN-TABWIDTH]]' +`--expand-tabs[=IN-TABCHAR[IN-TABWIDTH]]' + Expand TABs to spaces on input.

Second + optional argument IN-TABWIDTH is the input tab character's width + (default is 8). + +`-f' +`-F' +`--form-feed' + Use a form feed instead of newlines to separate output pages. The + default page length of 66 lines is not altered. But the number of + lines of text per page changes from default 56 to 63 lines. + +`-h HEADER' +`--header=HEADER' + Replace the file name in the header with the centered string + HEADER. When using the shell, HEADER should be quoted and should + be separated from `-h' by a space. + +`-i[OUT-TABCHAR[OUT-TABWIDTH]]' +`--output-tabs[=OUT-TABCHAR[OUT-TABWIDTH]]' + Replace spaces with TABs on output. Optional argument OUT-TABCHAR + is the output tab character (default is the TAB character). + Second optional argument OUT-TABWIDTH is the output tab + character's width (default is 8). + +`-J' +`--join-lines' + Merge lines of full length. Used together with the column options + `-COLUMN', `-a -COLUMN' or `-m'. Turns off `-W/-w' line + truncation; no column alignment used; may be used with + `--sep-string[=STRING]'. `-J' has been introduced (together with + `-W' and `--sep-string') to disentangle the old (POSIX-compliant) + options `-w' and `-s' along with the three column options. + +`-l PAGE_LENGTH' +`--length=PAGE_LENGTH' + Set the page length to PAGE_LENGTH (default 66) lines, including + the lines of the header [and the footer]. If PAGE_LENGTH is less + than or equal to 10 (or <= 3 with `-F'), the header and footer are + omitted, and all form feeds set in input files are eliminated, as + if the `-T' option had been given. + +`-m' +`--merge' + Merge and print all FILEs in parallel, one in each column. If a + line is too long to fit in a column, it is truncated, unless the + `-J' option is used. `--sep-string[=STRING]' may be used. Empty + pages in some FILEs (form feeds set) produce empty columns, still + marked by STRING. The result is a continuous line numbering and + column marking throughout the whole merged file. Completely empty + merged pages show no separators or line numbers. The default + header becomes `DATE PAGE' with spaces inserted in the middle; this + may be used with the `-h' or `--header' option to fill up the + middle blank part. + +`-n[NUMBER-SEPARATOR[DIGITS]]' +`--number-lines[=NUMBER-SEPARATOR[DIGITS]]' + Provide DIGITS digit line numbering (default for DIGITS is 5). + With multicolumn output the number occupies the first DIGITS + column positions of each text column or only each line of `-m' + output. With single column output the number precedes each line + just as `-m' does. Default counting of the line numbers starts + with the first line of the input file (not the first line printed, + compare the `--page' option and `-N' option). Optional argument + NUMBER-SEPARATOR is the character appended to the line number to + separate it from the text followed. The default separator is the + TAB character. In a strict sense a TAB is always printed with + single column output only. The TAB-width varies with the + TAB-position, e.g., with the left MARGIN specified by `-o' option. + With multicolumn output priority is given to `equal width of + output columns' (a POSIX specification). The TAB-width is fixed + to the value of the first column and does not change with + different values of left MARGIN. That means a fixed number of + spaces is always printed in the place of the NUMBER-SEPARATOR TAB. + The tabification depends upon the output position. + +`-N LINE_NUMBER' +`--first-line-number=LINE_NUMBER' + Start line counting with the number LINE_NUMBER at first line of + first page printed (in most cases not the first line of the input + file). + +`-o MARGIN' +`--indent=MARGIN' + Indent each line with a margin MARGIN spaces wide (default is + zero). The total page width is the size of the margin plus the + PAGE_WIDTH set with the `-W/-w' option. A limited overflow may + occur with numbered single column output (compare `-n' option). + +`-r' +`--no-file-warnings' + Do not print a warning message when an argument FILE cannot be + opened. (The exit status will still be nonzero, however.) + +`-s[CHAR]' +`--separator[=CHAR]' + Separate columns by a single character CHAR. The default for CHAR + is the TAB character without `-w' and `no character' with `-w'. + Without `-s' the default separator `space' is set. `-s[char]' + turns off line truncation of all three column options + (`-COLUMN'|`-a -COLUMN'|`-m') unless `-w' is set. This is a + POSIX-compliant formulation. + +`-S STRING' +`--sep-string[=STRING]' + Use STRING to separate output columns. The `-S' option doesn't + affect the `-W/-w' option, unlike the `-s' option which does. It + does not affect line truncation or column alignment. Without + `-S', and with `-J', `pr' uses the default output separator, TAB. + Without `-S' or `-J', `pr' uses a `space' (same as `-S" "'). With + `-SSTRING', STRING must be nonempty; `--sep-string' with no STRING + is equivalent to `--sep-string=""'. + + On older systems, `pr' instead supports an obsolete option + `-S[STRING]', where STRING is optional. POSIX 1003.1-2001 (*note + Standards conformance::) does not allow this older usage. To + specify an empty STRING portably, use `--sep-string'. + +`-t' +`--omit-header' + Do not print the usual header [and footer] on each page, and do + not fill out the bottom of pages (with blank lines or a form + feed). No page structure is produced, but form feeds set in the + input files are retained. The predefined pagination is not + changed. `-t' or `-T' may be useful together with other options; + e.g.: `-t -e4', expand TAB characters in the input file to 4 + spaces but don't make any other changes. Use of `-t' overrides + `-h'. + +`-T' +`--omit-pagination' + Do not print header [and footer]. In addition eliminate all form + feeds set in the input files. + +`-v' +`--show-nonprinting' + Print nonprinting characters in octal backslash notation. + +`-w PAGE_WIDTH' +`--width=PAGE_WIDTH' + Set page width to PAGE_WIDTH characters for multiple text-column + output only (default for PAGE_WIDTH is 72). `-s[CHAR]' turns off + the default page width and any line truncation and column + alignment. Lines of full length are merged, regardless of the + column options set. No PAGE_WIDTH setting is possible with single + column output. A POSIX-compliant formulation. + +`-W PAGE_WIDTH' +`--page_width=PAGE_WIDTH' + Set the page width to PAGE_WIDTH characters. That's valid with and + without a column option. Text lines are truncated, unless `-J' is + used. Together with one of the three column options (`-COLUMN', + `-a -COLUMN' or `-m') column alignment is always used. The + separator options `-S' or `-s' don't affect the `-W' option. + Default is 72 characters. Without `-W PAGE_WIDTH' and without any + of the column options NO line truncation is used (defined to keep + downward compatibility and to meet most frequent tasks).

[FILE]... + + If more than one FILE is specified, `tail' prints a one-line header +consisting of: + + ==> FILE NAME <== + +before the output for each FILE. + + GNU `tail' can output any amount of data (some other versions of +`tail' cannot). It also has no `-r' option (print in reverse), since +reversing a file is really a different job from printing the end of a +file; BSD `tail' (which is the one with `-r') can only reverse files +that are at most as large as its buffer, which is typically 32 KiB. A +more reliable and versatile way to reverse files is the GNU `tac' +command. + + If any option-argument is a number N starting with a `+', `tail' +begins printing with the Nth item from the start of each file, instead +of from the end. + + The program accepts the following options. Also see *Note Common +options::. + +`-c BYTES' +`--bytes=BYTES' + Output the last BYTES bytes, instead of final lines.

This option is ignored if + no FILE operand is specified and standard input is a pipe. If + more than one file is given, `tail' prints a header whenever it + gets output from a different file, to indicate which file that + output is from. + + There are two ways to specify how you'd like to track files with + this option, but that difference is noticeable only when a + followed file is removed or renamed. If you'd like to continue to + track the end of a growing file even after it has been unlinked, + use `--follow=descriptor'. This is the default behavior, but it + is not useful if you're tracking a log file that may be rotated + (removed or renamed, then reopened). In that case, use + `--follow=name' to track the named file by reopening it + periodically to see if it has been removed and recreated by some + other program. + + No matter which method you use, if the tracked file is determined + to have shrunk, `tail' prints a message saying the file has been + truncated and resumes tracking the end of the file from the + newly-determined endpoint. + + When a file is removed, `tail''s behavior depends on whether it is + following the name or the descriptor. When following by name, + tail can detect that a file has been removed and gives a message + to that effect, and if `--retry' has been specified it will + continue checking periodically to see if the file reappears. When + following a descriptor, tail does not detect that the file has + been unlinked or renamed and issues no message; even though the + file may no longer be accessible via its original name, it may + still be growing. + + The option values `descriptor' and `name' may be specified only + with the long form of the option, not with `-f'. + +`-F' + This option is the same as `--follow=name --retry'. That is, tail + will attempt to reopen a file when it is removed. Should this + fail, tail will keep trying until it becomes accessible again. + +`--retry' + This option is meaningful only when following by name. Without + this option, when tail encounters a file that doesn't exist or is + otherwise inaccessible, it reports that fact and never checks it + again. + +`--sleep-interval=NUMBER' + Change the number of seconds to wait between iterations (the + default is 1.0). During one iteration, every specified file is + checked to see if it has changed size. Historical implementations + of `tail' have required that NUMBER be an integer. However, GNU + `tail' accepts an arbitrary floating point number (using a period + before any fractional digits). + +`--pid=PID' + When following by name or by descriptor, you may specify the + process ID, PID, of the sole writer of all FILE arguments. Then, + shortly after that process terminates, tail will also terminate. + This will work properly only if the writer and the tailing process + are running on the same machine. For example, to save the output + of a build in a file and to watch the file grow, if you invoke + `make' and `tail' like this then the tail process will stop when + your build completes. Without this option, you would have had to + kill the `tail -f' process yourself. + + $ make >& makerr & tail --pid=$! -f makerr + + If you specify a PID that is not in use or that does not correspond + to the process that is writing to the tailed files, then `tail' + may terminate long before any FILEs stop growing or it may not + terminate until long after the real writer has terminated. Note + that `--pid' cannot be supported on some systems; `tail' will + print a warning if this is the case. + +`--max-unchanged-stats=N' + When tailing a file by name, if there have been N (default + n=5) consecutive iterations for which the file has not changed, + then `open'/`fstat' the file to determine if that file name is + still associated with the same device/inode-number pair as before. + When following a log file that is rotated, this is approximately + the number of seconds between when tail prints the last + pre-rotation lines and when it prints the lines that have + accumulated in the new log file.

By default, +`sort' writes the results to standard output. Synopsis: + + sort [OPTION]... [FILE]... + + `sort' has three modes of operation: sort (the default), merge, and +check for sortedness. The following options change the operation mode: + +`-c' +`--check' + Check whether the given files are already sorted: if they are not + all sorted, print an error message and exit with a status of 1. + Otherwise, exit successfully. + +`-m' +`--merge' + Merge the given files by sorting them as a group. Each input file + must always be individually sorted. It always works to sort + instead of merge; merging is provided because it is faster, in the + case where it works. + + + A pair of lines is compared as follows: `sort' compares each pair of +fields, in the order specified on the command line, according to the +associated ordering options, until a difference is found or no fields +are left. If no key fields are specified, `sort' uses a default key of +the entire line. Finally, as a last resort when all keys compare +equal, `sort' compares entire lines as if no ordering options other +than `--reverse' (`-r') were specified. The `--stable' (`-s') option +disables this "last-resort comparison" so that lines in which all +fields compare equal are left in their original relative order. The +`--unique' (`-u') option also disables the last-resort comparison. + + Unless otherwise specified, all comparisons use the character +collating sequence specified by the `LC_COLLATE' locale.(1) + + GNU `sort' (as specified for all GNU utilities) has no limit on +input line length or restrictions on bytes allowed within lines. In +addition, if the final byte of an input file is not a newline, GNU +`sort' silently supplies one. A line's trailing newline is not part of +the line for comparison purposes. + + Exit status: + + 0 if no error occurred + 1 if invoked with `-c' and the input is not properly sorted + 2 if an error occurred + + If the environment variable `TMPDIR' is set, `sort' uses its value +as the directory for temporary files instead of `/tmp'. The +`--temporary-directory' (`-T') option in turn overrides the environment +variable. + + The following options affect the ordering of output lines. They may +be specified globally or as part of a specific key field. If no key +fields are specified, global options apply to comparison of entire +lines; otherwise the global options are inherited by key fields that do +not specify any special options of their own. In pre-POSIX versions of +`sort', global options affect only later key fields, so portable shell +scripts should specify global options first. + +`-b' +`--ignore-leading-blanks' + Ignore leading blanks when finding sort keys in each line.

The `LC_NUMERIC' locale + determines the decimal-point character. Do not report overflow, + underflow, or conversion errors. Use the following collating + sequence: + + * Lines that do not start with numbers (all considered to be + equal). + + * NaNs ("Not a Number" values, in IEEE floating point + arithmetic) in a consistent but machine-dependent order. + + * Minus infinity. + + * Finite numbers in ascending numeric order (with -0 and +0 + equal). + + * Plus infinity. + + Use this option only if there is no alternative; it is much slower + than `--numeric-sort' (`-n') and it can lose information when + converting to floating point. + +`-i' +`--ignore-nonprinting' + Ignore nonprinting characters. The `LC_CTYPE' locale determines + character types. This option has no effect if the stronger + `--dictionary-order' (`-d') option is also given. + +`-M' +`--month-sort' + An initial string, consisting of any amount of blanks, followed by + a month name abbreviation, is folded to UPPER case and compared in + the order `JAN' < `FEB' < ... < `DEC'. Invalid names compare low + to valid names. The `LC_TIME' locale category determines the + month spellings. + +`-n' +`--numeric-sort' + Sort numerically: the number begins each line; specifically, it + consists of optional blanks, an optional `-' sign, and zero or more + digits possibly separated by thousands separators, optionally + followed by a decimal-point character and zero or more digits. A + string of no digits is interpreted as `0'. The `LC_NUMERIC' + locale specifies the decimal-point character and thousands + separator. + + Numeric sort uses what might be considered an unconventional + method to compare strings representing floating point numbers. + Rather than first converting each string to the C `double' type + and then comparing those values, `sort' aligns the decimal-point + characters in the two strings and compares the strings a character + at a time. One benefit of using this approach is its speed. In + practice this is much more efficient than performing the two + corresponding string-to-double (or even string-to-integer) + conversions and then comparing doubles. In addition, there is no + corresponding loss of precision. Converting each string to + `double' before comparison would limit precision to about 16 + digits on most systems. + + Neither a leading `+' nor exponential notation is recognized. To + compare such strings numerically, use the `--general-numeric-sort' + (`-g') option. + +`-r' +`--reverse' + Reverse the result of comparison, so that lines with greater key + values appear earlier in the output instead of later. + + + Other options are: + +`-k POS1[,POS2]' +`--key=POS1[,POS2]' + Specify a sort field that consists of the part of the line between + POS1 and POS2 (or the end of the line, if POS2 is omitted), + _inclusive_.

Normally, + `sort' reads all input before opening OUTPUT-FILE, so you can + safely sort a file in place by using commands like `sort -o F F' + and `cat F | sort -o F'. However, `sort' with `--merge' (`-m') + can open the output file before reading all input, so a command + like `cat F | sort -m -o F - G' is not safe as `sort' might start + writing `F' before `cat' is done reading it. + + On newer systems, `-o' cannot appear after an input file if + `POSIXLY_CORRECT' is set, e.g., `sort F -o F'. Portable scripts + should specify `-o OUTPUT-FILE' before any input files. + +`-s' +`--stable' + Make `sort' stable by disabling its last-resort comparison. This + option has no effect if no fields or global ordering options other + than `--reverse' (`-R') are specified. + +`-S SIZE' +`--buffer-size=SIZE' + Use a main-memory sort buffer of the given SIZE. By default, SIZE + is in units of 1024 bytes. Appending `%' causes SIZE to be + interpreted as a percentage of physical memory. Appending `K' + multiplies SIZE by 1024 (the default), `M' by 1,048,576, `G' by + 1,073,741,824, and so on for `T', `P', `E', `Z', and `Y'. + Appending `b' causes SIZE to be interpreted as a byte count, with + no multiplication. + + This option can improve the performance of `sort' by causing it to + start with a larger or smaller sort buffer than the default. + However, this option affects only the initial buffer size. The + buffer grows beyond SIZE if `sort' encounters input lines larger + than SIZE. + +`-t SEPARATOR' +`--field-separator=SEPARATOR' + Use character SEPARATOR as the field separator when finding the + sort keys in each line. By default, fields are separated by the + empty string between a non-blank character and a blank character. + That is, given the input line ` foo bar', `sort' breaks it into + fields ` foo' and ` bar'. The field separator is not considered + to be part of either the field preceding or the field following, + so with `sort -t " "' the same input line has three fields: an + empty field, `foo', and `bar'. However, fields that extend to the + end of the line, as `-k 2', or fields consisting of a range, as + `-k 2,3', retain the field separators present between the + endpoints of the range. + + To specify a zero byte (ASCII NUL (Null) character) as the field + separator, use the two-character string `\0', e.g., `sort -t '\0''. + +`-T TEMPDIR' +`--temporary-directory=TEMPDIR' + Use directory TEMPDIR to store temporary files, overriding the + `TMPDIR' environment variable. If this option is given more than + once, temporary files are stored in all the directories given. If + you have a large sort or merge that is I/O-bound, you can often + improve performance by using this option to specify directories on + different disks and controllers. + +`-u' +`--unique' + Normally, output only the first of a sequence of lines that compare + equal. For the `--check' (`-c') option, check that no pair of + consecutive lines compares equal. + + This option also disables the default last-resort comparison. + + The commands `sort -u' and `sort | uniq' are equivalent, but this + equivalence does not extend to arbitrary `sort' options. For + example, `sort -n -u' inspects only the value of the initial + numeric string when checking for uniqueness, whereas `sort -n | + uniq' inspects the entire line. *Note uniq invocation::. + +`-z' +`--zero-terminated' + Treat the input as a set of lines, each terminated by a zero byte + (ASCII NUL (Null) character) instead of an ASCII LF (Line Feed). + This option can be useful in conjunction with `perl -0' or `find + -print0' and `xargs -0' which do the same in order to reliably + handle arbitrary file names (even those containing blanks or other + special characters). + + + Historical (BSD and System V) implementations of `sort' have +differed in their interpretation of some options, particularly `-b', +`-f', and `-n'. GNU sort follows the POSIX behavior, which is usually +(but not always!) like the System V behavior. According to POSIX, `-n' +no longer implies `-b'. For consistency, `-M' has been changed in the +same way. This may affect the meaning of character positions in field +specifications in obscure cases. The only fix is to add an explicit +`-b'. + + A position in a sort field specified with the `-k' option has the +form `F.C', where F is the number of the field to use and C is the +number of the first character from the beginning of the field. In a +start position, an omitted `.C' stands for the field's first character. +In an end position, an omitted or zero `.C' stands for the field's +last character. If the start field falls after the end of the line or +after the end field, the field is empty. If the `-b' option was +specified, the `.C' part of a field specification is counted from the +first nonblank character of the field. + + A sort key position may also have any of the option letters `Mbdfinr' +appended to it, in which case the global ordering options are not used +for that particular field. The `-b' option may be independently +attached to either or both of the start and end positions of a field +specification, and if it is inherited from the global options it will +be attached to both. If input lines can contain leading or adjacent +blanks and `-t' is not used, then `-k' is typically combined with `-b', +`-g', `-M', or `-n'; otherwise the varying numbers of leading blanks in +fields can cause confusing results. + + Keys can span multiple fields. + + On older systems, `sort' supports an obsolete origin-zero syntax +`+POS1 [-POS2]' for specifying sort keys. POSIX 1003.1-2001 (*note +Standards conformance::) does not allow this; use `-k' instead. + + Here are some examples to illustrate various combinations of options. + + * Sort in descending (reverse) numeric order. + + sort -n -r + + * Sort alphabetically, omitting the first and second fields and the + blanks at the start of the third field. This uses a single key + composed of the characters beginning at the start of the first + nonblank character in field three and extending to the end of each + line. + + sort -k 3b + + * Sort numerically on the second field and resolve ties by sorting + alphabetically on the third and fourth characters of field five. + Use `:' as the field delimiter. + + sort -t : -k 2,2n -k 5.3,5.4 + + Note that if you had written `-k 2n' instead of `-k 2,2n' `sort' + would have used all characters beginning in the second field and + extending to the end of the line as the primary _numeric_ key. + For the large majority of applications, treating keys spanning + more than one field as numeric will not do what you expect. + + Also note that the `n' modifier was applied to the field-end + specifier for the first key. It would have been equivalent to + specify `-k 2n,2' or `-k 2n,2n'. All modifiers except `b' apply + to the associated _field_, regardless of whether the modifier + character is attached to the field-start and/or the field-end part + of the key specifier. + + * Sort the password file on the fifth field and ignore any leading + blanks. Sort lines with equal values in field five on the numeric + user ID in field three. Fields are separated by `:'. + + sort -t : -k 5b,5 -k 3,3n /etc/passwd + sort -t : -n -k 5b,5 -k 3,3 /etc/passwd + sort -t : -b -k 5,5 -k 3,3n /etc/passwd + + These three commands have equivalent effect. The first specifies + that the first key's start position ignores leading blanks and the + second key is sorted numerically. The other two commands rely on + global options being inherited by sort keys that lack modifiers. + The inheritance works in this case because `-k 5b,5b' and `-k + 5b,5' are equivalent, as the location of a field-end lacking a `.C' + character position is not affected by whether initial blanks are + skipped. + + * Sort a set of log files, primarily by IPv4 address and secondarily + by time stamp. If two lines' primary and secondary keys are + identical, output the lines in the same order that they were + input. The log files contain lines that look like this: + + 4.150.156.3 - - [01/Apr/2004:06:31:51 +0000] message 1 + 211.24.3.231 - - [24/Apr/2004:20:17:39 +0000] message 2 + + Fields are separated by exactly one space. Sort IPv4 addresses + lexicographically, e.g., 212.61.52.2 sorts before 212.129.233.201 + because 61 is less than 129. + + sort -s -t ' ' -k 4.9n -k 4.5M -k 4.2n -k 4.14,4.21 file*.log | + sort -s -t '.' -k 1,1n -k 2,2n -k 3,3n -k 4,4n + + This example cannot be done with a single `sort' invocation, since + IPv4 address components are separated by `.' while dates come just + after a space. So it is broken down into two invocations of + `sort': the first sorts by time stamp and the second by IPv4 + address. The time stamp is sorted by year, then month, then day, + and finally by hour-minute-second field, using `-k' to isolate each + field. Except for hour-minute-second there's no need to specify + the end of each key field, since the `n' and `M' modifiers sort + based on leading prefixes that cannot cross field boundaries. The + IPv4 addresses are sorted lexicographically. The second sort uses + `-s' so that ties in the primary key are broken by the secondary + key; the first sort uses `-s' so that the combination of the two + sorts is stable. + + * Generate a tags file in case-insensitive sorted order. + + find src -type f -print0 | sort -z -f | xargs -0 etags --append + + The use of `-print0', `-z', and `-0' in this case means that file + names that contain blanks or other special characters are not + broken up by the sort operation. + + + ---------- Footnotes ---------- + + (1) If you use a non-POSIX locale (e.g., by setting `LC_ALL' to +`en_US'), then `sort' may produce output that is sorted differently +than you're accustomed to. In that case, set the `LC_ALL' environment +variable to `C'. Note that setting only `LC_COLLATE' has two problems. +First, it is ineffective if `LC_ALL' is also set. Second, it has +undefined behavior if `LC_CTYPE' (or `LANG', if `LC_CTYPE' is unset) is +set to an incompatible value.

One way to automate the latter +process is to get a list for each function of the functions it calls +directly. Many programs can generate such lists. They describe a call +graph.

As `ld' read each object +in the archive, it decided whether it was needed in the program based on +whether it defined any symbols which were undefined at that point in +the link. + + This meant that dependencies within the archive had to be handled +specially. For example, `scanf' probably calls `read'. That means +that in a single pass through an archive, it was important for `scanf.o' +to appear before read.o, because otherwise a program which calls +`scanf' but not `read' might end up with an unexpected unresolved +reference to `read'. + + The way to address this problem was to first generate a set of +dependencies of one object file on another. This was done by a shell +script called `lorder'. The GNU tools don't provide a version of +lorder, as far as I know, but you can still find it in BSD +distributions. + + Then you ran `tsort' over the `lorder' output, and you used the +resulting sort to define the order in which you added objects to the +archive. + + This whole procedure has been obsolete since about 1980, because +Unix archives now contain a symbol table (traditionally built by +`ranlib', now generally built by `ar' itself), and the Unix linker uses +the symbol table to effectively make multiple passes over an archive +file. + + Anyhow, that's where tsort came from.

The calling sketch is either one of: + + ptx [OPTION ...] [FILE ...] + ptx -G [OPTION ...] [INPUT [OUTPUT]] + + The `-G' (or its equivalent: `--traditional') option disables all +GNU extensions and reverts to traditional mode, thus introducing some +limitations and changing several of the program's default option values. +When `-G' is not specified, GNU extensions are always enabled. GNU +extensions to `ptx' are documented wherever appropriate in this +document. For the full list, see *Note Compatibility in ptx::. + + Individual options are explained in the following sections. + + When GNU extensions are enabled, there may be zero, one or several +FILEs after the options. If there is no FILE, the program reads the +standard input. If there is one or several FILEs, they give the name +of input files which are all read in turn, as if all the input files +were concatenated. However, there is a full contextual break between +each file and, when automatic referencing is requested, file names and +line numbers refer to individual text input files. In all cases, the +program outputs the permuted index to the standard output. + + When GNU extensions are _not_ enabled, that is, when the program +operates in traditional mode, there may be zero, one or two parameters +besides the options. If there are no parameters, the program reads the +standard input and outputs the permuted index to the standard output. +If there is only one parameter, it names the text INPUT to be read +instead of the standard input. If two parameters are given, they give +respectively the name of the INPUT file to read and the name of the +OUTPUT file to produce. _Be very careful_ to note that, in this case, +the contents of file given by the second parameter is destroyed. This +behavior is dictated by System V `ptx' compatibility; GNU Standards +normally discourage output parameters not introduced by an option. + + Note that for _any_ file named as the value of an option or as an +input text file, a single dash `-' may be used, in which case standard +input is assumed.

(GNU `ptx' is not known to work on smaller MS-DOS +machines anymore.)

It introduces the name of a file + which contains a list of characters which can_not_ be part of one + word; this file is called the "Break file". Any character which + is not part of the Break file is a word constituent. If both + options `-b' and `-W' are specified, then `-W' has precedence and + `-b' is ignored. + + When GNU extensions are enabled, the only way to avoid newline as a + break character is to write all the break characters in the file + with no newline at all, not even at the end of the file. When GNU + extensions are disabled, spaces, tabs and newlines are always + considered as break characters even if not included in the Break + file. + +`-i FILE' +`--ignore-file=FILE' + The file associated with this option contains a list of words + which will never be taken as keywords in concordance output. It + is called the "Ignore file". The file contains exactly one word + in each line; the end of line separation of words is not subject + to the value of the `-S' option. + + There is a default Ignore file used by `ptx' when this option is + not specified, usually found in `/usr/local/lib/eign' if this has + not been changed at installation time. If you want to deactivate + the default Ignore file, specify `/dev/null' instead. + +`-o FILE' +`--only-file=FILE' + The file associated with this option contains a list of words + which will be retained in concordance output; any word not + mentioned in this file is ignored. The file is called the "Only + file". The file contains exactly one word in each line; the end + of line separation of words is not subject to the value of the + `-S' option. + + There is no default for the Only file. When both an Only file and + an Ignore file are specified, a word is considered a keyword only + if it is listed in the Only file and not in the Ignore file. + +`-r' +`--references' + On each input line, the leading sequence of non-white space + characters will be taken to be a reference that has the purpose of + identifying this input line in the resulting permuted index.

In fact, this regular + expression is not the only distinction between end of lines or end + of sentences, and input line boundaries have no special + significance outside this option. By default, when GNU extensions + are enabled and if `-r' option is not used, end of sentences are + used.

The program + tries to fill those unused areas by wrapping around context in + them; the tail of the input line or sentence is used to fill the + unused area on the left of the output line; the head of the input + line or sentence is used to fill the unused area on the right of + the output line. + + As a matter of convenience to the user, many usual backslashed + escape sequences from the C language are recognized and converted + to the corresponding characters by `ptx' itself. + +`-W REGEXP' +`--word-regexp=REGEXP' + This option selects which regular expression will describe each + keyword. By default, if GNU extensions are enabled, a word is a + sequence of letters; the REGEXP used is `\w+'.

When neither `-O' nor `-T' are selected, +and if GNU extensions are enabled, the program chooses an output format +suitable for a dumb terminal. Each keyword occurrence is output to the +center of one line, surrounded by its left and right contexts. Each +field is properly justified, so the concordance output can be readily +observed. As a special feature, if automatic references are selected +by option `-A' and are output before the left context, that is, if +option `-R' is _not_ selected, then a colon is added after the +reference; this nicely interfaces with GNU Emacs `next-error' +processing. In this default output format, each white space character, +like newline and tab, is merely changed to exactly one space, with no +special attempt to compress consecutive spaces. This might change in +the future. Except for those white space characters, every other +character of the underlying set of 256 characters is transmitted +verbatim. + + Output format is further controlled by the following options. + +`-g NUMBER' +`--gap-size=NUMBER' + Select the size of the minimum white space gap between the fields + on the output line. + +`-w NUMBER' +`--width=NUMBER' + Select the maximum output width of each final line. If references + are used, they are included or excluded from the maximum output + width depending on the value of option `-R'. If this option is not + selected, that is, when references are output before the left + context, the maximum output width takes into account the maximum + length of all references. If this option is selected, that is, + when references are output after the right context, the maximum + output width does not take into account the space taken by + references, nor the gap that precedes them. + +`-A' +`--auto-reference' + Select automatic references. Each input line will have an + automatic reference made up of the file name and the line ordinal, + with a single colon between them. However, the file name will be + empty when standard input is being read. If both `-A' and `-r' + are selected, then the input reference is still read and skipped, + but the automatic reference is used at output time, overriding the + input reference. + +`-R' +`--right-side-refs' + In the default output format, when option `-R' is not used, any + references produced by the effect of options `-r' or `-A' are + placed to the far right of output lines, after the right context. + With default output format, when the `-R' option is specified, + references are rather placed at the beginning of each output line, + before the left context. For any other output format, option `-R' + is ignored, with one exception: with `-R' the width of references + is _not_ taken into account in total output width given by `-w'. + + This option is automatically selected whenever GNU extensions are + disabled. + +`-F STRING' +`--flac-truncation=STRING' + This option will request that any truncation in the output be + reported using the string STRING. Most output fields + theoretically extend towards the beginning or the end of the + current line, or current sentence, as selected with option `-S'. + But there is a maximum allowed output line width, changeable + through option `-w', which is further divided into space for + various output fields. When a field has to be truncated because + it cannot extend beyond the beginning or the end of the current + line to fit in, then a truncation occurs. By default, the string + used is a single slash, as in `-F /'. + + STRING may have more than one character, as in `-F ...'. Also, in + the particular case when STRING is empty (`-F ""'), truncation + flagging is disabled, and no truncation marks are appended in this + case. + + As a matter of convenience to the user, many usual backslashed + escape sequences, as found in the C language, are recognized and + converted to the corresponding characters by `ptx' itself. + +`-M STRING' +`--macro-name=STRING' + Select another STRING to be used instead of `xx', while generating + output suitable for `nroff', `troff' or TeX. + +`-O' +`--format=roff' + Choose an output format suitable for `nroff' or `troff' + processing.

Note that when references are not being + produced, that is, neither option `-A' nor option `-r' is + selected, the last parameter of each `\xx' call is inhibited. + Option `-M' can be used to change `xx' to another macro name. + + In this output format, some special characters, like `$', `%', + `&', `#' and `_' are automatically protected with a backslash. + Curly brackets `{', `}' are protected with a backslash and a pair + of dollar signs (to force mathematical mode). The backslash + itself produces the sequence `\backslash{}'. Circumflex and tilde + diacritical marks produce the sequence `^\{ }' and `~\{ }' + respectively.

These extra features are suppressed by using the `-G' +command line option, unless overridden by other command line options. +Some GNU extensions cannot be recovered by overriding, so the simple +rule is to avoid `-G' if you care about GNU extensions. Here are the +differences between this program and System V `ptx'. + + * This program can read many input files at once, it always writes + the resulting concordance on standard output. On the other hand, + System V `ptx' reads only one file and sends the result to + standard output or, if a second FILE parameter is given on the + command, to that FILE. + + Having output parameters not introduced by options is a dangerous + practice which GNU avoids as far as possible. So, for using `ptx' + portably between GNU and System V, you should always use it with a + single input file, and always expect the result on standard + output. You might also want to automatically configure in a `-G' + option to `ptx' calls in products using `ptx', if the configurator + finds that the installed `ptx' accepts `-G'. + + * The only options available in System V `ptx' are options `-b', + `-f', `-g', `-i', `-o', `-r', `-t' and `-w'. All other options + are GNU extensions and are not repeated in this enumeration. + Moreover, some options have a slightly different meaning when GNU + extensions are enabled, as explained below. + + * By default, concordance output is not formatted for `troff' or + `nroff'. It is rather formatted for a dumb terminal. `troff' or + `nroff' output may still be selected through option `-O'. + + * Unless `-R' option is used, the maximum reference width is + subtracted from the total output line width. With GNU extensions + disabled, width of references is not taken into account in the + output line width computations. + + * All 256 characters, even NULs, are always read and processed from + input file with no adverse effect, even if GNU extensions are + disabled. However, System V `ptx' does not accept 8-bit + characters, a few control characters are rejected, and the tilde + `~' is also rejected. + + * Input line length is only limited by available memory, even if GNU + extensions are disabled. However, System V `ptx' processes only + the first 200 characters in each line. + + * The break (non-word) characters default to be every character + except all letters of the underlying character set, diacriticized + or not. When GNU extensions are disabled, the break characters + default to space, tab and newline only. + + * The program makes better use of output line width. If GNU + extensions are disabled, the program rather tries to imitate + System V `ptx', but still, there are some slight disposition + glitches this program does not completely reproduce. + + * The user can specify both an Ignore file and an Only file.

Most characters simply represent themselves in +these strings, but the strings can contain the shorthands listed below, +for convenience.

M should collate before N; if it doesn't, + an error results. As an example, `0-9' is the same as + `0123456789'. + + GNU `tr' does not support the System V syntax that uses square + brackets to enclose ranges. Translations specified in that format + sometimes work as expected, since the brackets are often + transliterated to themselves. However, they should be avoided + because they sometimes behave unexpectedly. For example, `tr -d + '[0-9]'' deletes brackets as well as digits. + + Many historically common and even accepted uses of ranges are not + portable. For example, on EBCDIC hosts using the `A-Z' range will + not do what most would expect because `A' through `Z' are not + contiguous as they are in ASCII. If you can rely on a POSIX + compliant version of `tr', then the best way to work around this + is to use character classes (see below). Otherwise, it is most + portable (and most ugly) to enumerate the members of the ranges. + +Repeated characters + The notation `[C*N]' in SET2 expands to N copies of character C. + Thus, `[y*6]' is the same as `yyyyyy'. The notation `[C*]' in + STRING2 expands to as many copies of C as are needed to make SET2 + as long as SET1. If N begins with `0', it is interpreted in + octal, otherwise in decimal. + +Character classes + The notation `[:CLASS:]' expands to all of the characters in the + (predefined) class CLASS. The characters expand in no particular + order, except for the `upper' and `lower' classes, which expand in + ascending order. When the `--delete' (`-d') and + `--squeeze-repeats' (`-s') options are both given, any character + class can be used in SET2. Otherwise, only the character classes + `lower' and `upper' are accepted in SET2, and then only if the + corresponding character class (`upper' and `lower', respectively) + is specified in the same relative position in SET1. Doing this + specifies case conversion. The class names are given below; an + error results when an invalid class name is given. + + `alnum' + Letters and digits. + + `alpha' + Letters. + + `blank' + Horizontal whitespace. + + `cntrl' + Control characters. + + `digit' + Digits. + + `graph' + Printable characters, not including space. + + `lower' + Lowercase letters. + + `print' + Printable characters, including space. + + `punct' + Punctuation characters. + + `space' + Horizontal or vertical whitespace. + + `upper' + Uppercase letters. + + `xdigit' + Hexadecimal digits. + +Equivalence classes + The syntax `[=C=]' expands to all of the characters that are + equivalent to C, in no particular order. Equivalence classes are + a relatively recent invention intended to support non-English + alphabets. But there seems to be no standard way to define them + or determine their contents. Therefore, they are not fully + implemented in GNU `tr'; each character's equivalence class + consists only of that character, which is of no particular use. + + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Translating, Next: Squeezing, Prev: Character sets, Up: tr invocation + +9.1.2 Translating +----------------- + +`tr' performs translation when SET1 and SET2 are both given and the +`--delete' (`-d') option is not given. `tr' translates each character +of its input that is in SET1 to the corresponding character in SET2. +Characters not in SET1 are passed through unchanged. When a character +appears more than once in SET1 and the corresponding characters in SET2 +are not all the same, only the final one is used. For example, these +two commands are equivalent: + + tr aaa xyz + tr a z + + A common use of `tr' is to convert lowercase characters to +uppercase. This can be done in many ways. Here are three of them: + + tr abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ + tr a-z A-Z + tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' + +But note that using ranges like `a-z' above is not portable. + + When `tr' is performing translation, SET1 and SET2 typically have +the same length. If SET1 is shorter than SET2, the extra characters at +the end of SET2 are ignored. + + On the other hand, making SET1 longer than SET2 is not portable; +POSIX says that the result is undefined. In this situation, BSD `tr' +pads SET2 to the length of SET1 by repeating the last character of SET2 +as many times as necessary. System V `tr' truncates SET1 to the length +of SET2. + + By default, GNU `tr' handles this case like BSD `tr'. When the +`--truncate-set1' (`-t') option is given, GNU `tr' handles this case +like the System V `tr' instead. This option is ignored for operations +other than translation. + + Acting like System V `tr' in this case breaks the relatively common +BSD idiom: + + tr -cs A-Za-z0-9 '\012' + +because it converts only zero bytes (the first element in the +complement of SET1), rather than all non-alphanumerics, to newlines. + +By the way, the above idiom is not portable because it uses ranges, and +it assumes that the octal code for newline is 012. Assuming a POSIX +compliant `tr', here is a better way to write it: + + tr -cs '[:alnum:]' '[\n*]' + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Squeezing, Prev: Translating, Up: tr invocation + +9.1.3 Squeezing repeats and deleting +------------------------------------ + +When given just the `--delete' (`-d') option, `tr' removes any input +characters that are in SET1. + + When given just the `--squeeze-repeats' (`-s') option, `tr' replaces +each input sequence of a repeated character that is in SET1 with a +single occurrence of that character. + + When given both `--delete' and `--squeeze-repeats', `tr' first +performs any deletions using SET1, then squeezes repeats from any +remaining characters using SET2. + + The `--squeeze-repeats' option may also be used when translating, in +which case `tr' first performs translation, then squeezes repeats from +any remaining characters using SET2. + + Here are some examples to illustrate various combinations of options: + + * Remove all zero bytes: + + tr -d '\0' + + * Put all words on lines by themselves. This converts all + non-alphanumeric characters to newlines, then squeezes each string + of repeated newlines into a single newline: + + tr -cs '[:alnum:]' '[\n*]' + + * Convert each sequence of repeated newlines to a single newline: + + tr -s '\n' + + * Find doubled occurrences of words in a document. For example, + people often write "the the" with the repeated words separated by + a newline. The Bourne shell script below works first by + converting each sequence of punctuation and blank characters to a + single newline. That puts each "word" on a line by itself. Next + it maps all uppercase characters to lower case, and finally it + runs `uniq' with the `-d' option to print out only the words that + were repeated. + + #!/bin/sh + cat -- "$@" \ + | tr -s '[:punct:][:blank:]' '[\n*]' \ + | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' \ + | uniq -d + + * Deleting a small set of characters is usually straightforward. + For example, to remove all `a's, `x's, and `M's you would do this: + + tr -d axM + + However, when `-' is one of those characters, it can be tricky + because `-' has special meanings. Performing the same task as + above but also removing all `-' characters, we might try `tr -d + -axM', but that would fail because `tr' would try to interpret + `-a' as a command-line option. Alternatively, we could try + putting the hyphen inside the string, `tr -d a-xM', but that + wouldn't work either because it would make `tr' interpret `a-x' as + the range of characters `a'...`x' rather than the three. One way + to solve the problem is to put the hyphen at the end of the list + of characters: + + tr -d axM- + + Or you can use `--' to terminate option processing: + + tr -d -- -axM + + More generally, use the character class notation `[=c=]' with `-' + (or any other character) in place of the `c': + + tr -d '[=-=]axM' + + Note how single quotes are used in the above example to protect the + square brackets from interpretation by a shell. + + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: expand invocation, Next: unexpand invocation, Prev: tr invocation, Up: Operating on characters + +9.2 `expand': Convert tabs to spaces +==================================== + +`expand' writes the contents of each given FILE, or standard input if +none are given or for a FILE of `-', to standard output, with tab +characters converted to the appropriate number of spaces.

Options and file arguments can be intermixed +arbitrarily, as usual. + + For non-option command-line arguments that are directories, by +default `ls' lists the contents of directories, not recursively, and +omitting files with names beginning with `.'. For other non-option +arguments, by default `ls' lists just the file name. If no non-option +argument is specified, `ls' operates on the current directory, acting +as if it had been invoked with a single argument of `.'. + + By default, the output is sorted alphabetically, according to the +locale settings in effect.(1) If standard output is a terminal, the +output is in columns (sorted vertically) and control characters are +output as question marks; otherwise, the output is listed one per line +and control characters are output as-is. + + Because `ls' is such a fundamental program, it has accumulated many +options over the years. They are described in the subsections below; +within each section, options are listed alphabetically (ignoring case). +The division of options into the subsections is not absolute, since some +options affect more than one aspect of `ls''s operation. + + Exit status: + + 0 success + 1 minor problems (e.g., a subdirectory was not found) + 2 serious trouble (e.g., memory exhausted) + + Also see *Note Common options::. + +* Menu: + +* Which files are listed:: +* What information is listed:: +* Sorting the output:: +* More details about version sort:: +* General output formatting:: +* Formatting file timestamps:: +* Formatting the file names:: + + ---------- Footnotes ---------- + + (1) If you use a non-POSIX locale (e.g., by setting `LC_ALL' to +`en_US'), then `ls' may produce output that is sorted differently than +you're accustomed to.

By +default, `ls' lists files and the contents of any directories on the +command line, except that in directories it ignores files whose names +start with `.'. + +`-a' +`--all' + In directories, do not ignore file names that start with `.'. + +`-A' +`--almost-all' + In directories, do not ignore all file names that start with `.'; + ignore only `.' and `..'. The `--all' (`-a') option overrides + this option. + +`-B' +`--ignore-backups' + In directories, ignore files that end with `~'. This option is + equivalent to `--ignore='*~' --ignore='.*~''. + +`-d' +`--directory' + List just the names of directories, as with other types of files, + rather than listing their contents. Do not follow symbolic links + listed on the command line unless the `--dereference-command-line' + (`-H'), `--dereference' (`-L'), or + `--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir' options are specified. + +`-H' +`--dereference-command-line' + If a command line argument specifies a symbolic link, show + information for the file the link references rather than for the + link itself. + +`--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir' + Do not dereference symbolic links, with one exception: if a + command line argument specifies a symbolic link that refers to a + directory, show information for that directory rather than for the + link itself. This is the default behavior when no other + dereferencing-related option has been specified (`--classify' + (`-F'), `--directory' (`-d'), (`-l'), `--dereference' (`-L'), or + `--dereference-command-line' (`-H')). + +`--hide=PATTERN' + In directories, ignore files whose names match the shell pattern + PATTERN, unless the `--all' (`-a') or `--almost-all' (`-A') is + also given. This option acts like `--ignore=PATTERN' except that + it has no effect if `--all' (`-a') or `--almost-all' (`-A') is + also given. + + This option can be useful in shell aliases. For example, if `lx' + is an alias for `ls --hide='*~'' and `ly' is an alias for `ls + --ignore='*~'', then the command `lx -A' lists the file `README~' + even though `ly -A' would not. + +`-I PATTERN' +`--ignore=PATTERN' + In directories, ignore files whose names match the shell pattern + (not regular expression) PATTERN. As in the shell, an initial `.' + in a file name does not match a wildcard at the start of PATTERN. + Sometimes it is useful to give this option several times. For + example, + + $ ls --ignore='.??*' --ignore='.[^.]' --ignore='#*' + + The first option ignores names of length 3 or more that start with + `.', the second ignores all two-character names that start with `.' + except `..', and the third ignores names that start with `#'. + +`-L' +`--dereference' + When showing file information for a symbolic link, show information + for the file the link references rather than the link itself. + However, even with this option, `ls' still prints the name of the + link itself, not the name of the file that the link points to. + +`-R' +`--recursive' + List the contents of all directories recursively. + + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: What information is listed, Next: Sorting the output, Prev: Which files are listed, Up: ls invocation + +10.1.2 What information is listed +--------------------------------- + +These options affect the information that `ls' displays.

Most +locales use a timestamp like `2002-03-30 23:45'. However, the default +POSIX locale uses a date like `Mar 30 2002' for non-recent timestamps, +and a date-without-year and time like `Mar 30 23:45' for recent +timestamps. + + A timestamp is considered to be "recent" if it is less than six +months old, and is not dated in the future. If a timestamp dated today +is not listed in recent form, the timestamp is in the future, which +means you probably have clock skew problems which may break programs +like `make' that rely on file timestamps. + + Time stamps are listed according to the time zone rules specified by +the `TZ' environment variable, or by the system default rules if `TZ' +is not set. *Note Specifying the Time Zone with `TZ': (libc)TZ +Variable. + + The following option changes how file timestamps are printed. + +`--time-style=STYLE' + List timestamps in style STYLE. The STYLE should be one of the + following: + + `+FORMAT' + List timestamps using FORMAT, where FORMAT is interpreted + like the format argument of `date' (*note date invocation::). + For example, `--time-style="+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"' causes `ls' + to list timestamps like `2002-03-30 23:45:56'. As with + `date', FORMAT's interpretation is affected by the `LC_TIME' + locale category. + + If FORMAT contains two format strings separated by a newline, + the former is used for non-recent files and the latter for + recent files; if you want output columns to line up, you may + need to insert spaces in one of the two formats. + + `full-iso' + List timestamps in full using ISO 8601 date, time, and time + zone format with nanosecond precision, e.g., `2002-03-30 + 23:45:56.477817180 -0700'. This style is equivalent to + `+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%N %z'. + + This is useful because the time output includes all the + information that is available from the operating system. For + example, this can help explain `make''s behavior, since GNU + `make' uses the full timestamp to determine whether a file is + out of date. + + `long-iso' + List ISO 8601 date and time in minutes, e.g., `2002-03-30 + 23:45'. These timestamps are shorter than `full-iso' + timestamps, and are usually good enough for everyday work. + This style is equivalent to `%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'. + + `iso' + List ISO 8601 dates for non-recent timestamps (e.g., + `2002-03-30 '), and ISO 8601 month, day, hour, and minute for + recent timestamps (e.g., `03-30 23:45'). These timestamps + are uglier than `long-iso' timestamps, but they carry nearly + the same information in a smaller space and their brevity + helps `ls' output fit within traditional 80-column output + lines. The following two `ls' invocations are equivalent: + + newline=' + ' + ls -l --time-style="+%Y-%m-%d $newline%m-%d %H:%M" + ls -l --time-style="iso" + + `locale' + List timestamps in a locale-dependent form. For example, a + Finnish locale might list non-recent timestamps like `maalis + 30 2002' and recent timestamps like `maalis 30 23:45'. + Locale-dependent timestamps typically consume more space than + `iso' timestamps and are harder for programs to parse because + locale conventions vary so widely, but they are easier for + many people to read. + + The `LC_TIME' locale category specifies the timestamp format. + The default POSIX locale uses timestamps like `Mar 30 2002' + and `Mar 30 23:45'; in this locale, the following two `ls' + invocations are equivalent: + + newline=' + ' + ls -l --time-style="+%b %e %Y$newline%b %e %H:%M" + ls -l --time-style="locale" + + Other locales behave differently. For example, in a German + locale, `--time-style="locale"' might be equivalent to + `--time-style="+%e. %b %Y $newline%e. %b %H:%M"' and might + generate timestamps like `30. Ma"r 2002 ' and `30. Ma"r + 23:45'. + + `posix-STYLE' + List POSIX-locale timestamps if the `LC_TIME' locale category + is POSIX, STYLE timestamps otherwise. For example, the + default style, which is `posix-long-iso', lists timestamps + like `Mar 30 2002' and `Mar 30 23:45' when in the POSIX + locale, and like `2002-03-30 23:45' otherwise. + + You can specify the default value of the `--time-style' option with +the environment variable `TIME_STYLE'; if `TIME_STYLE' is not set the +default style is `posix-long-iso'. GNU Emacs 21 and later can parse +ISO dates, but older Emacs versions do not, so if you are using an +older version of Emacs and specify a non-POSIX locale, you may need to +set `TIME_STYLE="locale"'. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Formatting the file names, Prev: Formatting file timestamps, Up: ls invocation + +10.1.7 Formatting the file names +-------------------------------- + +These options change how file names themselves are printed. + +`-b' +`--escape' +`--quoting-style=escape' + Quote nongraphic characters in file names using alphabetic and + octal backslash sequences like those used in C. + +`-N' +`--literal' +`--quoting-style=literal' + Do not quote file names.

The copy is +completely independent of the original. You can either copy one file to +another, or copy arbitrarily many files to a destination directory. +Synopses: + + cp [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST + cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY + cp [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE... + + * If two file names are given, `cp' copies the first file to the + second. + + * If the `--target-directory' (`-t') option is given, or failing + that if the last file is a directory and the + `--no-target-directory' (`-T') option is not given, `cp' copies + each SOURCE file to the specified directory, using the SOURCEs' + names. + + Generally, files are written just as they are read. For exceptions, +see the `--sparse' option below. + + By default, `cp' does not copy directories. However, the `-R', +`-a', and `-r' options cause `cp' to copy recursively by descending +into source directories and copying files to corresponding destination +directories. + + By default, `cp' follows symbolic links only when not copying +recursively. This default can be overridden with the `--archive' +(`-a'), `-d', `--dereference' (`-L'), `--no-dereference' (`-P'), and +`-H' options. If more than one of these options is specified, the last +one silently overrides the others. + + By default, `cp' copies the contents of special files only when not +copying recursively. This default can be overridden with the +`--copy-contents' option. + + `cp' generally refuses to copy a file onto itself, with the +following exception: if `--force --backup' is specified with SOURCE and +DEST identical, and referring to a regular file, `cp' will make a +backup file, either regular or numbered, as specified in the usual ways +(*note Backup options::). This is useful when you simply want to make +a backup of an existing file before changing it. + + The program accepts the following options. Also see *Note Common +options::. + +`-a' +`--archive' + Preserve as much as possible of the structure and attributes of the + original files in the copy (but do not attempt to preserve internal + directory structure; i.e., `ls -U' may list the entries in a copied + directory in a different order). Equivalent to `-dpPR'. + +`-b' +`--backup[=METHOD]' + *Note Backup options::. Make a backup of each file that would + otherwise be overwritten or removed. As a special case, `cp' + makes a backup of SOURCE when the force and backup options are + given and SOURCE and DEST are the same name for an existing, + regular file. One useful application of this combination of + options is this tiny Bourne shell script: + + #!/bin/sh + # Usage: backup FILE... + # Create a GNU-style backup of each listed FILE. + for i; do + cp --backup --force -- "$i" "$i" + done + +`--copy-contents' + If copying recursively, copy the contents of any special files + (e.g., FIFOs and device files) as if they were regular files. + This means trying to read the data in each source file and writing + it to the destination. It is usually a mistake to use this + option, as it normally has undesirable effects on special files + like FIFOs and the ones typically found in the `/dev' directory. + In most cases, `cp -R --copy-contents' will hang indefinitely + trying to read from FIFOs and special files like `/dev/console', + and it will fill up your destination disk if you use it to copy + `/dev/zero'. This option has no effect unless copying + recursively, and it does not affect the copying of symbolic links. + +`-d' + Copy symbolic links as symbolic links rather than copying the + files that they point to, and preserve hard links between source + files in the copies. Equivalent to `--no-dereference + --preserve=links'. + +`-f' +`--force' + When copying without this option and an existing destination file + cannot be opened for writing, the copy fails. However, with + `--force'), when a destination file cannot be opened, `cp' then + unlinks it and tries to open it again. Contrast this behavior + with that enabled by `--link' and `--symbolic-link', whereby the + destination file is never opened but rather is unlinked + unconditionally. Also see the description of + `--remove-destination'. + +`-H' + If a command line argument specifies a symbolic link, then copy the + file it points to rather than the symbolic link itself. However, + copy (preserving its nature) any symbolic link that is encountered + via recursive traversal. + +`-i' +`--interactive' + Prompt whether to overwrite existing regular destination files. + +`-l' +`--link' + Make hard links instead of copies of non-directories. + +`-L' +`--dereference' + Always follow symbolic links. + +`-P' +`--no-dereference' + Copy symbolic links as symbolic links rather than copying the + files that they point to. + +`-p' +`--preserve[=ATTRIBUTE_LIST]' + Preserve the specified attributes of the original files. If + specified, the ATTRIBUTE_LIST must be a comma-separated list of + one or more of the following strings: + + `mode' + Preserve the permission attributes. + + `ownership' + Preserve the owner and group. On most modern systems, only + the super-user may change the owner of a file, and regular + users may preserve the group ownership of a file only if they + happen to be a member of the desired group. + + `timestamps' + Preserve the times of last access and last modification. + + `links' + Preserve in the destination files any links between + corresponding source files. + + `all' + Preserve all file attributes. Equivalent to specifying all + of the above. + + Using `--preserve' with no ATTRIBUTE_LIST is equivalent to + `--preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps'. + + In the absence of this option, each destination file is created + with the permissions of the corresponding source file, minus the + bits set in the umask and minus the set-user-id and set-group-id + bits. *Note File permissions::. + +`--no-preserve=ATTRIBUTE_LIST' + Do not preserve the specified attributes. The ATTRIBUTE_LIST has + the same form as for `--preserve'. + +`--parents' + Form the name of each destination file by appending to the target + directory a slash and the specified name of the source file. The + last argument given to `cp' must be the name of an existing + directory. For example, the command: + + cp --parents a/b/c existing_dir + + copies the file `a/b/c' to `existing_dir/a/b/c', creating any + missing intermediate directories. + +`--reply[=HOW]' + Using `--reply=yes' makes `cp' act as if `yes' were given as a + response to every prompt about a destination file. That + effectively cancels any preceding `--interactive' or `-i' option. + Specify `--reply=no' to make `cp' act as if `no' were given as a + response to every prompt about a destination file. Specify + `--reply=query' to make `cp' prompt the user about each existing + destination file. + +`-R' +`-r' +`--recursive' + Copy directories recursively. Symbolic links are not followed by + default; see the `--archive' (`-a'), `-d', `--dereference' (`-L'), + `--no-dereference' (`-P'), and `-H' options. Special files are + copied by creating a destination file of the same type as the + source; see the `--copy-contents' option. It is not portable to + use `-r' to copy symbolic links or special files. On some non-GNU + systems, `-r' implies the equivalent of `-L' and `--copy-contents' + for historical reasons. Also, it is not portable to use `-R' to + copy symbolic links unless you also specify `-P', as POSIX allows + implementations that dereference symbolic links by default. + +`--remove-destination' + Remove each existing destination file before attempting to open it + (contrast with `-f' above). + +`--sparse=WHEN' + A "sparse file" contains "holes"--a sequence of zero bytes that + does not occupy any physical disk blocks; the `read' system call + reads these as zeroes. This can both save considerable disk space + and increase speed, since many binary files contain lots of + consecutive zero bytes. By default, `cp' detects holes in input + source files via a crude heuristic and makes the corresponding + output file sparse as well. Only regular files may be sparse. + + The WHEN value can be one of the following: + `auto' + The default behavior: if the input file is sparse, attempt to + make the output file sparse, too. However, if an output file + exists but refers to a non-regular file, then do not attempt + to make it sparse. + + `always' + For each sufficiently long sequence of zero bytes in the + input file, attempt to create a corresponding hole in the + output file, even if the input file does not appear to be + sparse. This is useful when the input file resides on a file + system that does not support sparse files (for example, + `efs' file systems in SGI IRIX 5.3 and earlier), but the + output file is on a type of file system that does support + them. Holes may be created only in regular files, so if the + destination file is of some other type, `cp' does not even + try to make it sparse. + + `never' + Never make the output file sparse.

Only the index listing where the file is +stored is destroyed, and the storage is made available for reuse. +There are undelete utilities that will attempt to reconstruct the index +and can bring the file back if the parts were not reused. + + On a busy system with a nearly-full drive, space can get reused in a +few seconds. But there is no way to know for sure. If you have +sensitive data, you may want to be sure that recovery is not possible +by actually overwriting the file with non-sensitive data. + + However, even after doing that, it is possible to take the disk back +to a laboratory and use a lot of sensitive (and expensive) equipment to +look for the faint "echoes" of the original data underneath the +overwritten data. If the data has only been overwritten once, it's not +even that hard. + + The best way to remove something irretrievably is to destroy the +media it's on with acid, melt it down, or the like. For cheap +removable media like floppy disks, this is the preferred method. +However, hard drives are expensive and hard to melt, so the `shred' +utility tries to achieve a similar effect non-destructively. + + This uses many overwrite passes, with the data patterns chosen to +maximize the damage they do to the old data. While this will work on +floppies, the patterns are designed for best effect on hard drives. +For more details, see the source code and Peter Gutmann's paper `Secure +Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory' +(http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html), from the +proceedings of the Sixth USENIX Security Symposium (San Jose, +California, July 22-25, 1996). + + *Please note* that `shred' relies on a very important assumption: +that the file system overwrites data in place. This is the traditional +way to do things, but many modern file system designs do not satisfy +this assumption. Exceptions include: + + * Log-structured or journaled file systems, such as those supplied + with AIX and Solaris, and JFS, ReiserFS, XFS, Ext3, BFS, NTFS etc. + when they are configured to journal _data_. + + * File systems that write redundant data and carry on even if some + writes fail, such as RAID-based file systems. + + * File systems that make snapshots, such as Network Appliance's NFS + server. + + * File systems that cache in temporary locations, such as NFS + version 3 clients. + + * Compressed file systems. + + If you are not sure how your file system operates, then you should +assume that it does not overwrite data in place, which means that shred +cannot reliably operate on regular files in your file system. + + Generally speaking, it is more reliable to shred a device than a +file, since this bypasses the problem of file system design mentioned +above. However, even shredding devices is not always completely +reliable. For example, most disks map out bad sectors invisibly to the +application; if the bad sectors contain sensitive data, `shred' won't +be able to destroy it. + + `shred' makes no attempt to detect or report this problem, just as +it makes no attempt to do anything about backups. However, since it is +more reliable to shred devices than files, `shred' by default does not +truncate or remove the output file. This default is more suitable for +devices, which typically cannot be truncated and should not be removed. + + Finally, consider the risk of backups and mirrors. File system +backups and remote mirrors may contain copies of the file that cannot +be removed, and that will allow a shredded file to be recovered later. +So if you keep any data you may later want to destroy using `shred', be +sure that it is not backed up or mirrored. + + shred [OPTION]... FILE[...] + + The program accepts the following options. Also see *Note Common +options::. + +`-f' +`--force' + Override file permissions if necessary to allow overwriting. + +`-NUMBER' +`-n NUMBER' +`--iterations=NUMBER' + By default, `shred' uses 25 passes of overwrite. This is enough + for all of the useful overwrite patterns to be used at least once. + You can reduce this to save time, or increase it if you have a lot + of time to waste. + +`-s BYTES' +`--size=BYTES' + Shred the first BYTES bytes of the file. The default is to shred + the whole file. BYTES can be followed by a size specification like + `K', `M', or `G' to specify a multiple. *Note Block size::. + +`-u' +`--remove' + After shredding a file, truncate it (if possible) and then remove + it. If a file has multiple links, only the named links will be + removed. + +`-v' +`--verbose' + Display status updates as sterilization proceeds. + +`-x' +`--exact' + By default, `shred' rounds the size of a regular file up to the + next multiple of the file system block size to fully erase the + last block of the file. Use `--exact' to suppress that behavior. + Thus, by default if you shred a 10-byte regular file on a system + with 512-byte blocks, the resulting file will be 512 bytes long. + With this option, shred does not increase the apparent size of the + file. + +`-z' +`--zero' + Normally, the last pass that `shred' writes is made up of random + data. If this would be conspicuous on your hard drive (for + example, because it looks like encrypted data), or you just think + it's tidier, the `--zero' option adds an additional overwrite pass + with all zero bits. This is in addition to the number of passes + specified by the `--iterations' option. + + + You might use the following command to erase all trace of the file +system you'd created on the floppy disk in your first drive. That +command takes about 20 minutes to erase a "1.44MB" (actually 1440 KiB) +floppy. + + shred --verbose /dev/fd0 + + Similarly, to erase all data on a selected partition of your hard +disk, you could give a command like this: + + shred --verbose /dev/sda5 + + A FILE of `-' denotes standard output. The intended use of this is +to shred a removed temporary file. For example: + + i=`tempfile -m 0600` + exec 3<>"$i" + rm -- "$i" + echo "Hello, world" >&3 + shred - >&3 + exec 3>- + + However, the command `shred - >file' does not shred the contents of +FILE, since the shell truncates FILE before invoking `shred'.

For example, when a +file is created or removed, the system must record this information, +which it does in a "directory"--a special type of file. Although you +can read directories as normal files, if you're curious, in order for +the system to do its job it must impose a structure, a certain order, +on the bytes of the file.

However, the `--directory' +and `--no-target-directory' options are not specified by POSIX, and the +`link' command is more portable in practice. + + An exit status of zero indicates success, and a nonzero value +indicates failure. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: ln invocation, Next: mkdir invocation, Prev: link invocation, Up: Special file types + +12.2 `ln': Make links between files +=================================== + +`ln' makes links between files. By default, it makes hard links; with +the `-s' option, it makes symbolic (or "soft") links. Synopses: + + ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINKNAME + ln [OPTION]... TARGET + ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY + ln [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY TARGET... + + * If two file names are given, `ln' creates a link to the first file + from the second. + + * If one TARGET is given, `ln' creates a link to that file in the + current directory. + + * If the `--target-directory' (`-t') option is given, or failing + that if the last file is a directory and the + `--no-target-directory' (`-T') option is not given, `ln' creates a + link to each TARGET file in the specified directory, using the + TARGETs' names. + + + Normally `ln' does not remove existing files. Use the `--force' +(`-f') option to remove them unconditionally, the `--interactive' +(`-i') option to remove them conditionally, and the `--backup' (`-b') +option to rename them. + + A "hard link" is another name for an existing file; the link and the +original are indistinguishable. Technically speaking, they share the +same inode, and the inode contains all the information about a +file--indeed, it is not incorrect to say that the inode _is_ the file. +On all existing implementations, you cannot make a hard link to a +directory, and hard links cannot cross file system boundaries. (These +restrictions are not mandated by POSIX, however.) + + "Symbolic links" ("symlinks" for short), on the other hand, are a +special file type (which not all kernels support: System V release 3 +(and older) systems lack symlinks) in which the link file actually +refers to a different file, by name. When most operations (opening, +reading, writing, and so on) are passed the symbolic link file, the +kernel automatically "dereferences" the link and operates on the target +of the link. But some operations (e.g., removing) work on the link +file itself, rather than on its target. *Note Symbolic Links: +(libc)Symbolic Links. + + The program accepts the following options.

The link is created in that directory. + But when the specified destination is a symlink to a directory, + there are two ways to treat the user's request. `ln' can treat + the destination just as it would a normal directory and create the + link in it. On the other hand, the destination can be viewed as a + non-directory--as the symlink itself. In that case, `ln' must + delete or backup that symlink before creating the new link. The + default is to treat a destination that is a symlink to a directory + just like a directory. + + This option is weaker than the `--no-target-directory' (`-T') + option, so it has no effect if both options are given. + +`-s' +`--symbolic' + Make symbolic links instead of hard links.

The `mknod' command is what creates files +of this type. Such devices can be read either a character at a time or +a "block" (many characters) at a time, hence we say there are "block +special" files and "character special" files. + + The arguments after NAME specify the type of file to make: + +`p' + for a FIFO + +`b' + for a block special file + +`c' + for a character special file + + + When making a block or character special file, the major and minor +device numbers must be given after the file type.

Synopsis: + + chmod [OPTION]... {MODE | --reference=REF_FILE} FILE... + + `chmod' never changes the permissions of symbolic links, since the +`chmod' system call cannot change their permissions. This is not a +problem since the permissions of symbolic links are never used. +However, for each symbolic link listed on the command line, `chmod' +changes the permissions of the pointed-to file. In contrast, `chmod' +ignores symbolic links encountered during recursive directory +traversals. + + If used, MODE specifies the new permissions. For details, see the +section on *Note File permissions::. In the extremely rare cases where +MODE has leading `-', a portable script should use `--' first, e.g., +`chmod -- -w file'.

Synopsis: + + touch [OPTION]... FILE... + + On older systems, `touch' supports an obsolete syntax, as follows. +If the first FILE would be a valid argument to the `-t' option and no +timestamp is given with any of the `-d', `-r', or `-t' options and the +`--' argument is not given, that argument is interpreted as the time +for the other files instead of as a file name. POSIX 1003.1-2001 +(*note Standards conformance::) does not allow this; use `-t' instead. + + Any FILE that does not exist is created empty. + + If changing both the access and modification times to the current +time, `touch' can change the timestamps for files that the user running +it does not own but has write permission for. Otherwise, the user must +own the files. + + Although `touch' provides options for changing two of the times--the +times of last access and modification--of a file, there is actually a +third one as well: the inode change time. This is often referred to as +a file's `ctime'. The inode change time represents the time when the +file's meta-information last changed. One common example of this is +when the permissions of a file change. Changing the permissions +doesn't access the file, so the atime doesn't change, nor does it +modify the file, so the mtime doesn't change. Yet, something about the +file itself has changed, and this must be noted somewhere. This is the +job of the ctime field. This is necessary, so that, for example, a +backup program can make a fresh copy of the file, including the new +permissions value. Another operation that modifies a file's ctime +without affecting the others is renaming. In any case, it is not +possible, in normal operations, for a user to change the ctime field to +a user-specified value. + + Time stamps assume the time zone rules specified by the `TZ' +environment variable, or by the system default rules if `TZ' is not +set. *Note Specifying the Time Zone with `TZ': (libc)TZ Variable. You +can avoid avoid ambiguities during daylight saving transitions by using +UTC time stamps. + + The program accepts the following options. Also see *Note Common +options::. + +`-a' +`--time=atime' +`--time=access' +`--time=use' + Change the access time only. + +`-c' +`--no-create' + Do not create files that do not exist. + +`-d' +`--date=TIME' + Use TIME instead of the current time.

For example, `-r foo -d + '-5 seconds'' specifies a time stamp equal to five seconds before + the corresponding time stamp for `foo'. + +`-t [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss]' + Use the argument (optional four-digit or two-digit years, months, + days, hours, minutes, optional seconds) instead of the current + time.

Synopsis: + + printf FORMAT [ARGUMENT]... + + `printf' prints the FORMAT string, interpreting `%' directives and +`\' escapes to format numeric and string arguments in a way that is +mostly similar to the C `printf' function. The differences are as +follows: + + * The FORMAT argument is reused as necessary to convert all the + given ARGUMENTs. For example, the command `printf %s a b' outputs + `ab'. + + * Missing ARGUMENTs are treated as null strings or as zeros, + depending on whether the context expects a string or a number. For + example, the command `printf %sx%d' prints `x0'. + + * An additional escape, `\c', causes `printf' to produce no further + output. For example, the command `printf 'A%sC\cD%sF' B E' prints + `ABC'. + + * The hexadecimal escape sequence `\xHH' has at most two digits, as + opposed to C where it can have an unlimited number of digits. For + example, the command `printf '\x07e'' prints two bytes, whereas + the C statement `printf ("\x07e")' prints just one. + + * `printf' has an additional directive, `%b', which prints its + argument string with `\' escapes interpreted in the same way as in + the FORMAT string, except that octal escapes are of the form + `\0OOO' where OOO is 0 to 3 octal digits. If a precision is also + given, it limits the number of bytes printed from the converted + string. + + * Numeric arguments must be single C constants, possibly with leading + `+' or `-'. For example, `printf %.4d -3' outputs `-0003'. + + * If the leading character of a numeric argument is `"' or `'' then + its value is the numeric value of the immediately following + character. Any remaining characters are silently ignored if the + `POSIXLY_CORRECT' environment variable is set; otherwise, a + warning is printed. For example, `printf "%d" "'a"' outputs `97' + on hosts that use the ASCII character set, since `a' has the + numeric value 97 in ASCII. + + + A floating-point argument must use a period before any fractional +digits, but is printed according to the `LC_NUMERIC' category of the +current locale. For example, in a locale whose radix character is a +comma, the command `printf %g 3.14' outputs `3,14' whereas the command +`printf %g 3,14' is an error. + + `printf' interprets `\OOO' in FORMAT as an octal number (if OOO is 1 +to 3 octal digits) specifying a character to print, and `\xHH' as a +hexadecimal number (if HH is 1 to 2 hex digits) specifying a character +to print. + + `printf' interprets two character syntaxes introduced in ISO C 99: +`\u' for 16-bit Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646) characters, specified as four +hexadecimal digits HHHH, and `\U' for 32-bit Unicode characters, +specified as eight hexadecimal digits HHHHHHHH. `printf' outputs the +Unicode characters according to the `LC_CTYPE' locale. + + The processing of `\u' and `\U' requires a full-featured `iconv' +facility. It is activated on systems with glibc 2.2 (or newer), or +when `libiconv' is installed prior to this package. Otherwise `\u' and +`\U' will print as-is. + + The only options are a lone `--help' or `--version'. *Note Common +options::. Options must precede operands. + + The Unicode character syntaxes are useful for writing strings in a +locale independent way. For example, a string containing the Euro +currency symbol + + $ /usr/local/bin/printf '\u20AC 14.95' + +will be output correctly in all locales supporting the Euro symbol +(ISO-8859-15, UTF-8, and others).

Each token of the expression must be a separate argument. + + Operands are either integers or strings. Integers consist of one or +more decimal digits, with an optional leading `-'. `expr' converts +anything appearing in an operand position to an integer or a string +depending on the operation being applied to it. + + Strings are not quoted for `expr' itself, though you may need to +quote them to protect characters with special meaning to the shell, +e.g., spaces. However, regardless of whether it is quoted, a string +operand should not be a parenthesis or any of `expr''s operators like +`+', so you cannot safely pass an arbitrary string `$str' to expr +merely by quoting it to the shell. One way to work around this is to +use the GNU extension `+', (e.g., `+ "$str" = foo'); a more portable +way is to use `" $str"' and to adjust the rest of the expression to take +the leading space into account (e.g., `" $str" = " foo"'). + + You should not pass a negative integer or a string with leading `-' +as `expr''s first argument, as it might be misinterpreted as an option; +this can be avoided by parenthesization. Also, portable scripts should +not use a string operand that happens to take the form of an integer; +this can be worked around by inserting leading spaces as mentioned +above. + + Operators may be given as infix symbols or prefix keywords. +Parentheses may be used for grouping in the usual manner. You must +quote parentheses and many operators to avoid the shell evaluating them, +however. + + The only options are `--help' and `--version'. *Note Common +options::.

The arguments are converted to strings + and the second is considered to be a (basic, a la GNU `grep') + regular expression, with a `^' implicitly prepended. The first + argument is then matched against this regular expression. + + If the match succeeds and REGEX uses `\(' and `\)', the `:' + expression returns the part of STRING that matched the + subexpression; otherwise, it returns the number of characters + matched. + + If the match fails, the `:' operator returns the null string if + `\(' and `\)' are used in REGEX, otherwise 0. + + Only the first `\( ... \)' pair is relevant to the return value; + additional pairs are meaningful only for grouping the regular + expression operators. + + In the regular expression, `\+', `\?', and `\|' are operators + which respectively match one or more, zero or one, or separate + alternatives.

VALUE may be empty (`VARIABLE='). Setting a +variable to an empty value is different from unsetting it. These +operands are evaluated left-to-right, so if two operands mention the +same variable the earlier is ignored. + + Environment variable names can be empty, and can contain any +characters other than `=' and the null character (ASCII NUL). However, +it is wise to limit yourself to names that consist solely of +underscores, digits, and ASCII letters, and that begin with a +non-digit, as applications like the shell do not work well with other +names. + + The first operand that does not contain the character `=' specifies +the program to invoke; it is searched for according to the `PATH' +environment variable. Any remaining arguments are passed as arguments +to that program. The program should not be a special built-in utility +(*note Special built-in utilities::). + + If no command name is specified following the environment +specifications, the resulting environment is printed.

Synopsis: + + nice [OPTION]... [COMMAND [ARG]...] + + If no arguments are given, `nice' prints the current nice value, +which it inherited. Otherwise, `nice' runs the given COMMAND with its +nice value adjusted. By default, its nice value is incremented by 10. + + Nice values range at least from -20 (resulting in the most favorable +scheduling) through 19 (the least favorable). Some systems may have a +wider range of nice values; conversely, other systems may enforce more +restrictive limits. An attempt to set the nice value outside the +supported range is treated as an attempt to use the minimum or maximum +supported value. + + COMMAND must not be a special built-in utility (*note Special +built-in utilities::). + + Because many shells have a built-in `nice' command, using an +unadorned `nice' in a script or interactively may get you different +functionality than that described here. + + The program accepts the following option.

It runs a +command (often an interactive shell) with the real and effective user +id, group id, and supplemental groups of a given USER. Synopsis: + + su [OPTION]... [USER [ARG]...] + + If no USER is given, the default is `root', the super-user. The +shell to use is taken from USER's `passwd' entry, or `/bin/sh' if none +is specified there. If USER has a password, `su' prompts for the +password unless run by a user with effective user id of zero (the +super-user). + + By default, `su' does not change the current directory. It sets the +environment variables `HOME' and `SHELL' from the password entry for +USER, and if USER is not the super-user, sets `USER' and `LOGNAME' to +USER. By default, the shell is not a login shell. + + Any additional ARGs are passed as additional arguments to the shell. + + GNU `su' does not treat `/bin/sh' or any other shells specially +(e.g., by setting `argv[0]' to `-su', passing `-c' only to certain +shells, etc.). + + `su' can optionally be compiled to use `syslog' to report failed, +and optionally successful, `su' attempts. (If the system supports +`syslog'.) However, GNU `su' does not check if the user is a member of +the `wheel' group; see below. + + The program accepts the following options.

This means the following. Unset all + environment variables except `TERM', `HOME', and `SHELL' (which + are set as described above), and `USER' and `LOGNAME' (which are + set, even for the super-user, as described above), and set `PATH' + to a compiled-in default value.

For example, in 1984, a few users at the MIT AI lab decided to +seize power by changing the operator password on the Twenex system and +keeping it secret from everyone else. (I was able to thwart this coup +and give power back to the users by patching the kernel, but I wouldn't +know how to do that in Unix.) + + However, occasionally the rulers do tell someone. Under the usual +`su' mechanism, once someone learns the root password who sympathizes +with the ordinary users, he or she can tell the rest. The "wheel +group" feature would make this impossible, and thus cement the power of +the rulers. + + I'm on the side of the masses, not that of the rulers. If you are +used to supporting the bosses and sysadmins in whatever they do, you +might find this idea strange at first. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Process control, Next: Delaying, Prev: Modified command invocation, Up: Top + +23 Process control +****************** + +* Menu: + +* kill invocation:: Sending a signal to processes. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: kill invocation, Up: Process control + +23.1 `kill': Send a signal to processes +======================================= + +The `kill' command sends a signal to processes, causing them to +terminate or otherwise act upon receiving the signal in some way. +Alternatively, it lists information about signals. Synopses: + + kill [-s SIGNAL | --signal SIGNAL | -SIGNAL] PID... + kill [-l | --list | -t | --table] [SIGNAL]... + + The first form of the `kill' command sends a signal to all PID +arguments. The default signal to send if none is specified is `TERM'. +The special signal number `0' does not denote a valid signal, but can +be used to test whether the PID arguments specify processes to which a +signal could be sent. + + If PID is positive, the signal is sent to the process with the +process id PID. If PID is zero, the signal is sent to all processes in +the process group of the current process. If PID is -1, the signal is +sent to all processes for which the user has permission to send a +signal. If PID is less than -1, the signal is sent to all processes in +the process group that equals the absolute value of PID. + + If PID is not positive, a system-dependent set of system processes +is excluded from the list of processes to which the signal is sent. + + If a negative PID argument is desired as the first one, it should be +preceded by `--'. However, as a common extension to POSIX, `--' is not +required with `kill -SIGNAL -PID'. The following commands are +equivalent: + + kill -15 -1 + kill -TERM -1 + kill -s TERM -- -1 + kill -- -1 + + The first form of the `kill' command succeeds if every PID argument +specifies at least one process that the signal was sent to. + + The second form of the `kill' command lists signal information. +Either the `-l' or `--list' option, or the `-t' or `--table' option +must be specified. Without any SIGNAL argument, all supported signals +are listed. The output of `-l' or `--list' is a list of the signal +names, one per line; if SIGNAL is already a name, the signal number is +printed instead. The output of `-t' or `--table' is a table of signal +numbers, names, and descriptions. This form of the `kill' command +succeeds if all SIGNAL arguments are valid and if there is no output +error. + + The `kill' command also supports the `--help' and `--version' +options. *Note Common options::. + + A SIGNAL may be a signal name like `HUP', or a signal number like +`1', or an exit status of a process terminated by the signal. A signal +name can be given in canonical form or prefixed by `SIG'. The case of +the letters is ignored, except for the `-SIGNAL' option which must use +upper case to avoid ambiguity with lower case option letters. The +following signal names and numbers are supported on all POSIX compliant +systems: + +`HUP' + 1. Hangup. + +`INT' + 2. Terminal interrupt. + +`QUIT' + 3. Terminal quit. + +`ABRT' + 6.

The permissions for a file are also +called its "access mode". They can be represented either in symbolic +form or as an octal number. + +* Menu: + +* Mode Structure:: Structure of file permissions. +* Symbolic Modes:: Mnemonic permissions representation. +* Numeric Modes:: Permissions as octal numbers. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Mode Structure, Next: Symbolic Modes, Up: File permissions + +26.1 Structure of File Permissions +================================== + +There are three kinds of permissions that a user can have for a file: + + 1. permission to read the file. For directories, this means + permission to list the contents of the directory. + + 2. permission to write to (change) the file. For directories, this + means permission to create and remove files in the directory. + + 3. permission to execute the file (run it as a program). For + directories, this means permission to access files in the + directory. + + There are three categories of users who may have different +permissions to perform any of the above operations on a file: + + 1. the file's owner; + + 2. other users who are in the file's group; + + 3. everyone else. + + Files are given an owner and group when they are created. Usually +the owner is the current user and the group is the group of the +directory the file is in, but this varies with the operating system, the +file system the file is created on, and the way the file is created. +You can change the owner and group of a file by using the `chown' and +`chgrp' commands. + + In addition to the three sets of three permissions listed above, a +file's permissions have three special components, which affect only +executable files (programs) and, on some systems, directories: + + 1. set the process's effective user ID to that of the file upon + execution (called the "setuid bit"). No effect on directories. + + 2. set the process's effective group ID to that of the file upon + execution (called the "setgid bit"). For directories on some + systems, put files created in the directory into the same group as + the directory, no matter what group the user who creates them is + in. + + 3. save the program's text image on the swap device so it will load + more quickly when run (called the "sticky bit"). For directories + on some systems, prevent users from removing or renaming a file in + a directory unless they own the file or the directory; this is + called the "restricted deletion flag" for the directory. + + In addition to the permissions listed above, there may be file +attributes specific to the file system, e.g: access control lists +(ACLs), whether a file is compressed, whether a file can be modified +(immutability), whether a file can be dumped. These are usually set +using programs specific to the file system. For example: + +ext2 + On GNU and Linux/GNU the file permissions ("attributes") specific + to the ext2 file system are set using `chattr'. + +FFS + On FreeBSD the file permissions ("flags") specific to the FFS file + system are set using `chrflags'. + + Although a file's permission "bits" allow an operation on that file, +that operation may still fail, because: + + * the file-system-specific permissions do not permit it; + + * the file system is mounted as read-only. + + For example, if the immutable attribute is set on a file, it cannot +be modified, regardless of the fact that you may have just run `chmod +a+w FILE'. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Symbolic Modes, Next: Numeric Modes, Prev: Mode Structure, Up: File permissions + +26.2 Symbolic Modes +=================== + +"Symbolic modes" represent changes to files' permissions as operations +on single-character symbols. They allow you to modify either all or +selected parts of files' permissions, optionally based on their +previous values, and perhaps on the current `umask' as well (*note +Umask and Protection::). + + The format of symbolic modes is: + + [ugoa...][[+-=][rwxXstugo...]...][,...] + + The following sections describe the operators and other details of +symbolic modes. + +* Menu: + +* Setting Permissions:: Basic operations on permissions. +* Copying Permissions:: Copying existing permissions. +* Changing Special Permissions:: Special permissions. +* Conditional Executability:: Conditionally affecting executability. +* Multiple Changes:: Making multiple changes. +* Umask and Protection:: The effect of the umask. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Setting Permissions, Next: Copying Permissions, Up: Symbolic Modes + +26.2.1 Setting Permissions +-------------------------- + +The basic symbolic operations on a file's permissions are adding, +removing, and setting the permission that certain users have to read, +write, and execute the file. These operations have the following +format: + + USERS OPERATION PERMISSIONS + +The spaces between the three parts above are shown for readability only; +symbolic modes cannot contain spaces. + + The USERS part tells which users' access to the file is changed. It +consists of one or more of the following letters (or it can be empty; +*note Umask and Protection::, for a description of what happens then). +When more than one of these letters is given, the order that they are +in does not matter. + +`u' + the user who owns the file; + +`g' + other users who are in the file's group; + +`o' + all other users; + +`a' + all users; the same as `ugo'. + + The OPERATION part tells how to change the affected users' access to +the file, and is one of the following symbols: + +`+' + to add the PERMISSIONS to whatever permissions the USERS already + have for the file; + +`-' + to remove the PERMISSIONS from whatever permissions the USERS + already have for the file; + +`=' + to make the PERMISSIONS the only permissions that the USERS have + for the file. + + The PERMISSIONS part tells what kind of access to the file should be +changed; it is zero or more of the following letters. As with the +USERS part, the order does not matter when more than one letter is +given. Omitting the PERMISSIONS part is useful only with the `=' +operation, where it gives the specified USERS no access at all to the +file. + +`r' + the permission the USERS have to read the file; + +`w' + the permission the USERS have to write to the file; + +`x' + the permission the USERS have to execute the file. + + For example, to give everyone permission to read and write a file, +but not to execute it, use: + + a=rw + + To remove write permission for from all users other than the file's +owner, use: + + go-w + +The above command does not affect the access that the owner of the file +has to it, nor does it affect whether other users can read or execute +the file. + + To give everyone except a file's owner no permission to do anything +with that file, use the mode below. Other users could still remove the +file, if they have write permission on the directory it is in. + + go= + +Another way to specify the same thing is: + + og-rxw + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Copying Permissions, Next: Changing Special Permissions, Prev: Setting Permissions, Up: Symbolic Modes + +26.2.2 Copying Existing Permissions +----------------------------------- + +You can base a file's permissions on its existing permissions. To do +this, instead of using `r', `w', or `x' after the operator, you use the +letter `u', `g', or `o'. For example, the mode + o+g + adds the permissions for users who are in a file's group to the +permissions that other users have for the file. Thus, if the file +started out as mode 664 (`rw-rw-r--'), the above mode would change it +to mode 666 (`rw-rw-rw-'). If the file had started out as mode 741 +(`rwxr----x'), the above mode would change it to mode 745 +(`rwxr--r-x'). The `-' and `=' operations work analogously. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Changing Special Permissions, Next: Conditional Executability, Prev: Copying Permissions, Up: Symbolic Modes + +26.2.3 Changing Special Permissions +----------------------------------- + +In addition to changing a file's read, write, and execute permissions, +you can change its special permissions. *Note Mode Structure::, for a +summary of these permissions. + + To change a file's permission to set the user ID on execution, use +`u' in the USERS part of the symbolic mode and `s' in the PERMISSIONS +part. + + To change a file's permission to set the group ID on execution, use +`g' in the USERS part of the symbolic mode and `s' in the PERMISSIONS +part. + + To change a file's permission to stay permanently on the swap device, +use `o' in the USERS part of the symbolic mode and `t' in the +PERMISSIONS part. + + For example, to add set user ID permission to a program, you can use +the mode: + + u+s + + To remove both set user ID and set group ID permission from it, you +can use the mode: + + ug-s + + To cause a program to be saved on the swap device, you can use the +mode: + + o+t + + Remember that the special permissions only affect files that are +executable, plus, on some systems, directories (on which they have +different meanings; *note Mode Structure::). Also, the combinations +`u+t', `g+t', and `o+s' have no effect. + + The `=' operator is not very useful with special permissions; for +example, the mode: + + o=t + +does cause the file to be saved on the swap device, but it also removes +all read, write, and execute permissions that users not in the file's +group might have had for it. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Conditional Executability, Next: Multiple Changes, Prev: Changing Special Permissions, Up: Symbolic Modes + +26.2.4 Conditional Executability +-------------------------------- + +There is one more special type of symbolic permission: if you use `X' +instead of `x', execute permission is affected only if the file already +had execute permission or is a directory. It affects directories' +execute permission even if they did not initially have any execute +permissions set. + + For example, this mode: + + a+X + +gives all users permission to execute files (or search directories) if +anyone could before. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Multiple Changes, Next: Umask and Protection, Prev: Conditional Executability, Up: Symbolic Modes + +26.2.5 Making Multiple Changes +------------------------------ + +The format of symbolic modes is actually more complex than described +above (*note Setting Permissions::). It provides two ways to make +multiple changes to files' permissions. + + The first way is to specify multiple OPERATION and PERMISSIONS parts +after a USERS part in the symbolic mode. + + For example, the mode: + + og+rX-w + +gives users other than the owner of the file read permission and, if it +is a directory or if someone already had execute permission to it, +gives them execute permission; and it also denies them write permission +to the file. It does not affect the permission that the owner of the +file has for it. The above mode is equivalent to the two modes: + + og+rX + og-w + + The second way to make multiple changes is to specify more than one +simple symbolic mode, separated by commas. For example, the mode: + + a+r,go-w + +gives everyone permission to read the file and removes write permission +on it for all users except its owner. Another example: + + u=rwx,g=rx,o= + +sets all of the non-special permissions for the file explicitly. (It +gives users who are not in the file's group no permission at all for +it.) + + The two methods can be combined. The mode: + + a+r,g+x-w + +gives all users permission to read the file, and gives users who are in +the file's group permission to execute it, as well, but not permission +to write to it. The above mode could be written in several different +ways; another is: + + u+r,g+rx,o+r,g-w + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Umask and Protection, Prev: Multiple Changes, Up: Symbolic Modes + +26.2.6 The Umask and Protection +------------------------------- + +If the USERS part of a symbolic mode is omitted, it defaults to `a' +(affect all users), except that any permissions that are _set_ in the +system variable `umask' are _not affected_. The value of `umask' can +be set using the `umask' command. Its default value varies from system +to system. + + Omitting the USERS part of a symbolic mode is generally not useful +with operations other than `+'. It is useful with `+' because it +allows you to use `umask' as an easily customizable protection against +giving away more permission to files than you intended to. + + As an example, if `umask' has the value 2, which removes write +permission for users who are not in the file's group, then the mode: + + +w + +adds permission to write to the file to its owner and to other users who +are in the file's group, but _not_ to other users. In contrast, the +mode: + + a+w + +ignores `umask', and _does_ give write permission for the file to all +users. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Numeric Modes, Prev: Symbolic Modes, Up: File permissions + +26.3 Numeric Modes +================== + +File permissions are stored internally as integers. As an alternative +to giving a symbolic mode, you can give an octal (base 8) number that +corresponds to the internal representation of the new mode. This +number is always interpreted in octal; you do not have to add a leading +0, as you do in C. Mode 0055 is the same as mode 55. + + A numeric mode is usually shorter than the corresponding symbolic +mode, but it is limited in that it cannot take into account a file's +previous permissions; it can only set them absolutely. + + On most systems, the permissions granted to the user, to other users +in the file's group, and to other users not in the file's group are +each stored as three bits, which are represented as one octal digit. +The three special permissions are also each stored as one bit, and they +are as a group represented as another octal digit. Here is how the +bits are arranged, starting with the lowest valued bit: + + Value in Corresponding + Mode Permission + + Other users not in the file's group: + 1 Execute + 2 Write + 4 Read + + Other users in the file's group: + 10 Execute + 20 Write + 40 Read + + The file's owner: + 100 Execute + 200 Write + 400 Read + + Special permissions: + 1000 Save text image on swap device + 2000 Set group ID on execution + 4000 Set user ID on execution + + For example, numeric mode 4755 corresponds to symbolic mode +`u=rwxs,go=rx', and numeric mode 664 corresponds to symbolic mode +`ug=rw,o=r'.

The whitespace may be omitted when no ambiguity arises. +The empty string means the beginning of today (i.e., midnight). Order +of the items is immaterial. A date string may contain many flavors of +items: + + * calendar date items + + * time of day items + + * time zone items + + * day of the week items + + * relative items + + * pure numbers. + +We describe each of these item types in turn, below. + + A few ordinal numbers may be written out in words in some contexts. +This is most useful for specifying day of the week items or relative +items (see below). Among the most commonly used ordinal numbers, the +word `last' stands for -1, `this' stands for 0, and `first' and `next' +both stand for 1. Because the word `second' stands for the unit of +time there is no way to write the ordinal number 2, but for convenience +`third' stands for 3, `fourth' for 4, `fifth' for 5, `sixth' for 6, +`seventh' for 7, `eighth' for 8, `ninth' for 9, `tenth' for 10, +`eleventh' for 11 and `twelfth' for 12. + + When a month is written this way, it is still considered to be +written numerically, instead of being "spelled in full"; this changes +the allowed strings. + + In the current implementation, only English is supported for words +and abbreviations like `AM', `DST', `EST', `first', `January', +`Sunday', `tomorrow', and `year'. + + The output of the `date' command is not always acceptable as a date +string, not only because of the language problem, but also because +there is no standard meaning for time zone items like `IST'.

In this case, the last specified year +is used, or the current year if none. For example: + + 9/24 + sep 24 + + Here are the rules. + + For numeric months, the ISO 8601 format `YEAR-MONTH-DAY' is allowed, +where YEAR is any positive number, MONTH is a number between 01 and 12, +and DAY is a number between 01 and 31. A leading zero must be present +if a number is less than ten. If YEAR is 68 or smaller, then 2000 is +added to it; otherwise, if YEAR is less than 100, then 1900 is added to +it. The construct `MONTH/DAY/YEAR', popular in the United States, is +accepted. Also `MONTH/DAY', omitting the year. + + Literal months may be spelled out in full: `January', `February', +`March', `April', `May', `June', `July', `August', `September', +`October', `November' or `December'. Literal months may be abbreviated +to their first three letters, possibly followed by an abbreviating dot. +It is also permitted to write `Sept' instead of `September'. + + When months are written literally, the calendar date may be given as +any of the following: + + DAY MONTH YEAR + DAY MONTH + MONTH DAY YEAR + DAY-MONTH-YEAR + + Or, omitting the year: + + MONTH DAY + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Time of day items, Next: Time zone items, Prev: Calendar date items, Up: Date input formats + +27.3 Time of day items +====================== + +A "time of day item" in date strings specifies the time on a given day. +Here are some examples, all of which represent the same time: + + 20:02:00.000000 + 20:02 + 8:02pm + 20:02-0500 # In EST (U.S. Eastern Standard Time). + + More generally, the time of day may be given as +`HOUR:MINUTE:SECOND', where HOUR is a number between 0 and 23, MINUTE +is a number between 0 and 59, and SECOND is a number between 0 and 59 +possibly followed by `.' or `,' and a fraction containing one or more +digits. Alternatively, `:SECOND' can be omitted, in which case it is +taken to be zero. + + If the time is followed by `am' or `pm' (or `a.m.' or `p.m.'), HOUR +is restricted to run from 1 to 12, and `:MINUTE' may be omitted (taken +to be zero). `am' indicates the first half of the day, `pm' indicates +the second half of the day. In this notation, 12 is the predecessor of +1: midnight is `12am' while noon is `12pm'. (This is the zero-oriented +interpretation of `12am' and `12pm', as opposed to the old tradition +derived from Latin which uses `12m' for noon and `12pm' for midnight.) + + The time may alternatively be followed by a time zone correction, +expressed as `SHHMM', where S is `+' or `-', HH is a number of zone +hours and MM is a number of zone minutes. You can also separate HH +from MM with a colon. When a time zone correction is given this way, it +forces interpretation of the time relative to Coordinated Universal +Time (UTC), overriding any previous specification for the time zone or +the local time zone. For example, `+0530' and `+05:30' both stand for +the time zone 5.5 hours ahead of UTC (e.g., India). The MINUTE part of +the time of day may not be elided when a time zone correction is used. +This is the best way to specify a time zone correction by fractional +parts of an hour. + + Either `am'/`pm' or a time zone correction may be specified, but not +both. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Time zone items, Next: Day of week items, Prev: Time of day items, Up: Date input formats + +27.4 Time zone items +==================== + +A "time zone item" specifies an international time zone, indicated by a +small set of letters, e.g., `UTC' or `Z' for Coordinated Universal +Time. Any included periods are ignored. By following a +non-daylight-saving time zone by the string `DST' in a separate word +(that is, separated by some white space), the corresponding daylight +saving time zone may be specified. Alternatively, a +non-daylight-saving time zone can be followed by a time zone +correction, to add the two values. This is normally done only for +`UTC'; for example, `UTC+05:30' is equivalent to `+05:30'. + + Time zone items other than `UTC' and `Z' are obsolescent and are not +recommended, because they are ambiguous; for example, `EST' has a +different meaning in Australia than in the United States. Instead, +it's better to use unambiguous numeric time zone corrections like +`-0500', as described in the previous section. + + If neither a time zone item nor a time zone correction is supplied, +time stamps are interpreted using the rules of the default time zone +(*note Specifying time zone rules::). + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Day of week items, Next: Relative items in date strings, Prev: Time zone items, Up: Date input formats + +27.5 Day of week items +====================== + +The explicit mention of a day of the week will forward the date (only +if necessary) to reach that day of the week in the future. + + Days of the week may be spelled out in full: `Sunday', `Monday', +`Tuesday', `Wednesday', `Thursday', `Friday' or `Saturday'. Days may +be abbreviated to their first three letters, optionally followed by a +period. The special abbreviations `Tues' for `Tuesday', `Wednes' for +`Wednesday' and `Thur' or `Thurs' for `Thursday' are also allowed. + + A number may precede a day of the week item to move forward +supplementary weeks. It is best used in expression like `third +monday'. In this context, `last DAY' or `next DAY' is also acceptable; +they move one week before or after the day that DAY by itself would +represent. + + A comma following a day of the week item is ignored. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Relative items in date strings, Next: Pure numbers in date strings, Prev: Day of week items, Up: Date input formats + +27.6 Relative items in date strings +=================================== + +"Relative items" adjust a date (or the current date if none) forward or +backward. The effects of relative items accumulate. Here are some +examples: + + 1 year + 1 year ago + 3 years + 2 days + + The unit of time displacement may be selected by the string `year' +or `month' for moving by whole years or months. These are fuzzy units, +as years and months are not all of equal duration. More precise units +are `fortnight' which is worth 14 days, `week' worth 7 days, `day' +worth 24 hours, `hour' worth 60 minutes, `minute' or `min' worth 60 +seconds, and `second' or `sec' worth one second. An `s' suffix on +these units is accepted and ignored. + + The unit of time may be preceded by a multiplier, given as an +optionally signed number. Unsigned numbers are taken as positively +signed. No number at all implies 1 for a multiplier. Following a +relative item by the string `ago' is equivalent to preceding the unit +by a multiplier with value -1. + + The string `tomorrow' is worth one day in the future (equivalent to +`day'), the string `yesterday' is worth one day in the past (equivalent +to `day ago'). + + The strings `now' or `today' are relative items corresponding to +zero-valued time displacement, these strings come from the fact a +zero-valued time displacement represents the current time when not +otherwise changed by previous items. They may be used to stress other +items, like in `12:00 today'. The string `this' also has the meaning +of a zero-valued time displacement, but is preferred in date strings +like `this thursday'. + + When a relative item causes the resulting date to cross a boundary +where the clocks were adjusted, typically for daylight saving time, the +resulting date and time are adjusted accordingly. + + The fuzz in units can cause problems with relative items. For +example, `2003-07-31 -1 month' might evaluate to 2003-07-01, because +2003-06-31 is an invalid date. To determine the previous month more +reliably, you can ask for the month before the 15th of the current +month. For example: + + $ date -R + Thu, 31 Jul 2003 13:02:39 -0700 + $ date --date='-1 month' +'Last month was %B?' + Last month was July? + $ date --date="$(date +%Y-%m-15) -1 month" +'Last month was %B!' + Last month was June! + + Also, take care when manipulating dates around clock changes such as +daylight saving leaps. In a few cases these have added or subtracted +as much as 24 hours from the clock, so it is often wise to adopt +universal time by setting the `TZ' environment variable to `UTC0' +before embarking on calendrical calculations. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Pure numbers in date strings, Next: Seconds since the Epoch, Prev: Relative items in date strings, Up: Date input formats + +27.7 Pure numbers in date strings +================================= + +The precise interpretation of a pure decimal number depends on the +context in the date string. + + If the decimal number is of the form YYYYMMDD and no other calendar +date item (*note Calendar date items::) appears before it in the date +string, then YYYY is read as the year, MM as the month number and DD as +the day of the month, for the specified calendar date. + + If the decimal number is of the form HHMM and no other time of day +item appears before it in the date string, then HH is read as the hour +of the day and MM as the minute of the hour, for the specified time of +day. MM can also be omitted. + + If both a calendar date and a time of day appear to the left of a +number in the date string, but no relative item, then the number +overrides the year. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Seconds since the Epoch, Next: Specifying time zone rules, Prev: Pure numbers in date strings, Up: Date input formats + +27.8 Seconds since the Epoch +============================ + +If you precede a number with `@', it represents an internal time stamp +as a count of seconds. The number can contain an internal decimal +point (either `.' or `,'); any excess precision not supported by the +internal representation is truncated toward minus infinity. Such a +number cannot be combined with any other date item, as it specifies a +complete time stamp. + + Internally, computer times are represented as a count of seconds +since an epoch--a well-defined point of time. On GNU and POSIX +systems, the epoch is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, so `@0' represents this +time, `@1' represents 1970-01-01 00:00:01 UTC, and so forth. GNU and +most other POSIX-compliant systems support such times as an extension +to POSIX, using negative counts, so that `@-1' represents 1969-12-31 +23:59:59 UTC. + + Traditional Unix systems count seconds with 32-bit two's-complement +integers and can represent times from 1901-12-13 20:45:52 through +2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC. More modern systems use 64-bit counts of +seconds with nanosecond subcounts, and can represent all the times in +the known lifetime of the universe to a resolution of 1 nanosecond. + + On most systems, these counts ignore the presence of leap seconds. +For example, on most systems `@915148799' represents 1998-12-31 +23:59:59 UTC, `@915148800' represents 1999-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, and +there is no way to represent the intervening leap second 1998-12-31 +23:59:60 UTC. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Specifying time zone rules, Next: Authors of get_date, Prev: Seconds since the Epoch, Up: Date input formats + +27.9 Specifying time zone rules +=============================== + +Normally, dates are interpreted using the rules of the current time +zone, which in turn are specified by the `TZ' environment variable, or +by a system default if `TZ' is not set. To specify a different set of +default time zone rules that apply just to one date, start the date +with a string of the form `TZ="RULE"'. The two quote characters (`"') +must be present in the date, and any quotes or backslashes within RULE +must be escaped by a backslash. + + For example, with the GNU `date' command you can answer the question +"What time is it in New York when a Paris clock shows 6:30am on October +31, 2004?" by using a date beginning with `TZ="Europe/Paris"' as shown +in the following shell transcript: + + $ export TZ="America/New_York" + $ date --date='TZ="Europe/Paris" 2004-10-31 06:30' + Sun Oct 31 01:30:00 EDT 2004 + + In this example, the `--date' operand begins with its own `TZ' +setting, so the rest of that operand is processed according to +`Europe/Paris' rules, treating the string `2004-10-31 06:30' as if it +were in Paris. However, since the output of the `date' command is +processed according to the overall time zone rules, it uses New York +time. (Paris was normally six hours ahead of New York in 2004, but +this example refers to a brief Halloween period when the gap was five +hours.) + + A `TZ' value is a rule that typically names a location in the `tz' +database (http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm). A recent catalog of +location names appears in the TWiki Date and Time Gateway +(http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/xtra/tzdate). A few non-GNU hosts require a +colon before a location name in a `TZ' setting, e.g., +`TZ=":America/New_York"'. + + The `tz' database includes a wide variety of locations ranging from +`Arctic/Longyearbyen' to `Antarctica/South_Pole', but if you are at sea +and have your own private time zone, or if you are using a non-GNU host +that does not support the `tz' database, you may need to use a POSIX +rule instead. Simple POSIX rules like `UTC0' specify a time zone +without daylight saving time; other rules can specify simple daylight +saving regimes. *Note Specifying the Time Zone with `TZ': (libc)TZ +Variable. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Authors of get_date, Prev: Specifying time zone rules, Up: Date input formats + +27.10 Authors of `get_date' +=========================== + +`get_date' was originally implemented by Steven M.

What it's really about is the "Software +Tools" philosophy of program development and usage. + + The software tools philosophy was an important and integral concept +in the initial design and development of Unix (of which Linux and GNU +are essentially clones). Unfortunately, in the modern day press of +Internetworking and flashy GUIs, it seems to have fallen by the +wayside. This is a shame, since it provides a powerful mental model +for solving many kinds of problems. + + Many people carry a Swiss Army knife around in their pants pockets +(or purse). A Swiss Army knife is a handy tool to have: it has several +knife blades, a screwdriver, tweezers, toothpick, nail file, corkscrew, +and perhaps a number of other things on it. For the everyday, small +miscellaneous jobs where you need a simple, general purpose tool, it's +just the thing. + + On the other hand, an experienced carpenter doesn't build a house +using a Swiss Army knife. Instead, he has a toolbox chock full of +specialized tools--a saw, a hammer, a screwdriver, a plane, and so on. +And he knows exactly when and where to use each tool; you won't catch +him hammering nails with the handle of his screwdriver. + + The Unix developers at Bell Labs were all professional programmers +and trained computer scientists. They had found that while a +one-size-fits-all program might appeal to a user because there's only +one program to use, in practice such programs are + + a. difficult to write, + + b. difficult to maintain and debug, and + + c. difficult to extend to meet new situations. + + Instead, they felt that programs should be specialized tools. In +short, each program "should do one thing well." No more and no less. +Such programs are simpler to design, write, and get right--they only do +one thing. + + Furthermore, they found that with the right machinery for hooking +programs together, that the whole was greater than the sum of the +parts. By combining several special purpose programs, you could +accomplish a specific task that none of the programs was designed for, +and accomplish it much more quickly and easily than if you had to write +a special purpose program. We will see some (classic) examples of this +further on in the column. (An important additional point was that, if +necessary, take a detour and build any software tools you may need +first, if you don't already have something appropriate in the toolbox.) + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: I/O redirection, Next: The who command, Prev: Toolbox introduction, Up: Opening the software toolbox + +I/O Redirection +=============== + +Hopefully, you are familiar with the basics of I/O redirection in the +shell, in particular the concepts of "standard input," "standard +output," and "standard error". Briefly, "standard input" is a data +source, where data comes from. A program should not need to either +know or care if the data source is a disk file, a keyboard, a magnetic +tape, or even a punched card reader. Similarly, "standard output" is a +data sink, where data goes to. The program should neither know nor +care where this might be. Programs that only read their standard +input, do something to the data, and then send it on, are called +"filters", by analogy to filters in a water pipeline. + + With the Unix shell, it's very easy to set up data pipelines: + + program_to_create_data | filter1 | ... | filterN > final.pretty.data + + We start out by creating the raw data; each filter applies some +successive transformation to the data, until by the time it comes out +of the pipeline, it is in the desired form. + + This is fine and good for standard input and standard output. Where +does the standard error come in to play? Well, think about `filter1' in +the pipeline above. What happens if it encounters an error in the data +it sees? If it writes an error message to standard output, it will just +disappear down the pipeline into `filter2''s input, and the user will +probably never see it. So programs need a place where they can send +error messages so that the user will notice them. This is standard +error, and it is usually connected to your console or window, even if +you have redirected standard output of your program away from your +screen. + + For filter programs to work together, the format of the data has to +be agreed upon. The most straightforward and easiest format to use is +simply lines of text. Unix data files are generally just streams of +bytes, with lines delimited by the ASCII LF (Line Feed) character, +conventionally called a "newline" in the Unix literature. (This is +`'\n'' if you're a C programmer.) This is the format used by all the +traditional filtering programs. (Many earlier operating systems had +elaborate facilities and special purpose programs for managing binary +data. Unix has always shied away from such things, under the +philosophy that it's easiest to simply be able to view and edit your +data with a text editor.) + + OK, enough introduction. Let's take a look at some of the tools, +and then we'll see how to hook them together in interesting ways. In +the following discussion, we will only present those command line +options that interest us. As you should always do, double check your +system documentation for the full story. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: The who command, Next: The cut command, Prev: I/O redirection, Up: Opening the software toolbox + +The `who' Command +================= + +The first program is the `who' command. By itself, it generates a list +of the users who are currently logged in. Although I'm writing this on +a single-user system, we'll pretend that several people are logged in: + + $ who + -| arnold console Jan 22 19:57 + -| miriam ttyp0 Jan 23 14:19(:0.0) + -| bill ttyp1 Jan 21 09:32(:0.0) + -| arnold ttyp2 Jan 23 20:48(:0.0) + + Here, the `$' is the usual shell prompt, at which I typed `who'. +There are three people logged in, and I am logged in twice. On +traditional Unix systems, user names are never more than eight +characters long. This little bit of trivia will be useful later. The +output of `who' is nice, but the data is not all that exciting. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: The cut command, Next: The sort command, Prev: The who command, Up: Opening the software toolbox + +The `cut' Command +================= + +The next program we'll look at is the `cut' command. This program cuts +out columns or fields of input data. For example, we can tell it to +print just the login name and full name from the `/etc/passwd' file. +The `/etc/passwd' file has seven fields, separated by colons: + + arnold:xyzzy:2076:10:Arnold D. Robbins:/home/arnold:/bin/bash + + To get the first and fifth fields, we would use `cut' like this: + + $ cut -d: -f1,5 /etc/passwd + -| root:Operator + ... + -| arnold:Arnold D. Robbins + -| miriam:Miriam A. Robbins + ... + + With the `-c' option, `cut' will cut out specific characters (i.e., +columns) in the input lines. This is useful for input data that has +fixed width fields, and does not have a field separator. For example, +list the Monday dates for the current month: + + $ cal | cut -c 3-5 + -|Mo + -| + -| 6 + -| 13 + -| 20 + -| 27 + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: The sort command, Next: The uniq command, Prev: The cut command, Up: Opening the software toolbox + +The `sort' Command +================== + +Next we'll look at the `sort' command. This is one of the most +powerful commands on a Unix-style system; one that you will often find +yourself using when setting up fancy data plumbing. + + The `sort' command reads and sorts each file named on the command +line. It then merges the sorted data and writes it to standard output. +It will read standard input if no files are given on the command line +(thus making it into a filter). The sort is based on the character +collating sequence or based on user-supplied ordering criteria. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: The uniq command, Next: Putting the tools together, Prev: The sort command, Up: Opening the software toolbox + +The `uniq' Command +================== + +Finally (at least for now), we'll look at the `uniq' program. When +sorting data, you will often end up with duplicate lines, lines that +are identical. Usually, all you need is one instance of each line. +This is where `uniq' comes in. The `uniq' program reads its standard +input. It prints only one copy of each repeated line. It does have +several options. Later on, we'll use the `-c' option, which prints +each unique line, preceded by a count of the number of times that line +occurred in the input. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Putting the tools together, Prev: The uniq command, Up: Opening the software toolbox + +Putting the Tools Together +========================== + +Now, let's suppose this is a large ISP server system with dozens of +users logged in. The management wants the system administrator to +write a program that will generate a sorted list of logged in users. +Furthermore, even if a user is logged in multiple times, his or her +name should only show up in the output once. + + The administrator could sit down with the system documentation and +write a C program that did this. It would take perhaps a couple of +hundred lines of code and about two hours to write it, test it, and +debug it. However, knowing the software toolbox, the administrator can +instead start out by generating just a list of logged on users: + + $ who | cut -c1-8 + -| arnold + -| miriam + -| bill + -| arnold + + Next, sort the list: + + $ who | cut -c1-8 | sort + -| arnold + -| arnold + -| bill + -| miriam + + Finally, run the sorted list through `uniq', to weed out duplicates: + + $ who | cut -c1-8 | sort | uniq + -| arnold + -| bill + -| miriam + + The `sort' command actually has a `-u' option that does what `uniq' +does. However, `uniq' has other uses for which one cannot substitute +`sort -u'. + + The administrator puts this pipeline into a shell script, and makes +it available for all the users on the system (`#' is the system +administrator, or `root', prompt): + + # cat > /usr/local/bin/listusers + who | cut -c1-8 | sort | uniq + ^D + # chmod +x /usr/local/bin/listusers + + There are four major points to note here. First, with just four +programs, on one command line, the administrator was able to save about +two hours worth of work. Furthermore, the shell pipeline is just about +as efficient as the C program would be, and it is much more efficient in +terms of programmer time. People time is much more expensive than +computer time, and in our modern "there's never enough time to do +everything" society, saving two hours of programmer time is no mean +feat. + + Second, it is also important to emphasize that with the +_combination_ of the tools, it is possible to do a special purpose job +never imagined by the authors of the individual programs. + + Third, it is also valuable to build up your pipeline in stages, as +we did here. This allows you to view the data at each stage in the +pipeline, which helps you acquire the confidence that you are indeed +using these tools correctly. + + Finally, by bundling the pipeline in a shell script, other users can +use your command, without having to remember the fancy plumbing you set +up for them. In terms of how you run them, shell scripts and compiled +programs are indistinguishable. + + After the previous warm-up exercise, we'll look at two additional, +more complicated pipelines. For them, we need to introduce two more +tools. + + The first is the `tr' command, which stands for "transliterate." +The `tr' command works on a character-by-character basis, changing +characters. Normally it is used for things like mapping upper case to +lower case: + + $ echo ThIs ExAmPlE HaS MIXED case! | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' + -| this example has mixed case! + + There are several options of interest: + +`-c' + work on the complement of the listed characters, i.e., operations + apply to characters not in the given set + +`-d' + delete characters in the first set from the output + +`-s' + squeeze repeated characters in the output into just one character. + + We will be using all three options in a moment. + + The other command we'll look at is `comm'. The `comm' command takes +two sorted input files as input data, and prints out the files' lines +in three columns. The output columns are the data lines unique to the +first file, the data lines unique to the second file, and the data +lines that are common to both. The `-1', `-2', and `-3' command line +options _omit_ the respective columns. (This is non-intuitive and +takes a little getting used to.) For example: + + $ cat f1 + -| 11111 + -| 22222 + -| 33333 + -| 44444 + $ cat f2 + -| 00000 + -| 22222 + -| 33333 + -| 55555 + $ comm f1 f2 + -| 00000 + -| 11111 + -| 22222 + -| 33333 + -| 44444 + -| 55555 + + The file name `-' tells `comm' to read standard input instead of a +regular file. + + Now we're ready to build a fancy pipeline. The first application is +a word frequency counter. This helps an author determine if he or she +is over-using certain words. + + The first step is to change the case of all the letters in our input +file to one case. "The" and "the" are the same word when doing +counting. + + $ tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' < whats.gnu | ... + + The next step is to get rid of punctuation. Quoted words and +unquoted words should be treated identically; it's easiest to just get +the punctuation out of the way. + + $ tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' < whats.gnu | tr -cd '[:alnum:]_ \n' | ... + + The second `tr' command operates on the complement of the listed +characters, which are all the letters, the digits, the underscore, and +the blank. The `\n' represents the newline character; it has to be +left alone. (The ASCII tab character should also be included for good +measure in a production script.) + + At this point, we have data consisting of words separated by blank +space. The words only contain alphanumeric characters (and the +underscore). The next step is break the data apart so that we have one +word per line. This makes the counting operation much easier, as we +will see shortly. + + $ tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' < whats.gnu | tr -cd '[:alnum:]_ \n' | + > tr -s ' ' '\n' | ... + + This command turns blanks into newlines. The `-s' option squeezes +multiple newline characters in the output into just one. This helps us +avoid blank lines. (The `>' is the shell's "secondary prompt." This +is what the shell prints when it notices you haven't finished typing in +all of a command.) + + We now have data consisting of one word per line, no punctuation, +all one case. We're ready to count each word: + + $ tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' < whats.gnu | tr -cd '[:alnum:]_ \n' | + > tr -s ' ' '\n' | sort | uniq -c | ... + + At this point, the data might look something like this: + + 60 a + 2 able + 6 about + 1 above + 2 accomplish + 1 acquire + 1 actually + 2 additional + + The output is sorted by word, not by count! What we want is the most +frequently used words first. Fortunately, this is easy to accomplish, +with the help of two more `sort' options: + +`-n' + do a numeric sort, not a textual one + +`-r' + reverse the order of the sort + + The final pipeline looks like this: + + $ tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' < whats.gnu | tr -cd '[:alnum:]_ \n' | + > tr -s ' ' '\n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n -r + -| 156 the + -| 60 a + -| 58 to + -| 51 of + -| 51 and + ... + + Whew! That's a lot to digest. Yet, the same principles apply. +With six commands, on two lines (really one long one split for +convenience), we've created a program that does something interesting +and useful, in much less time than we could have written a C program to +do the same thing. + + A minor modification to the above pipeline can give us a simple +spelling checker! To determine if you've spelled a word correctly, all +you have to do is look it up in a dictionary. If it is not there, then +chances are that your spelling is incorrect. So, we need a dictionary. +The conventional location for a dictionary is `/usr/dict/words'. On my +GNU/Linux system,(1) this is a is a sorted, 45,402 word dictionary. + + Now, how to compare our file with the dictionary? As before, we +generate a sorted list of words, one per line: + + $ tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' < whats.gnu | tr -cd '[:alnum:]_ \n' | + > tr -s ' ' '\n' | sort -u | ... + + Now, all we need is a list of words that are _not_ in the +dictionary. Here is where the `comm' command comes in. + + $ tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' < whats.gnu | tr -cd '[:alnum:]_ \n' | + > tr -s ' ' '\n' | sort -u | + > comm -23 - /usr/dict/words + + The `-2' and `-3' options eliminate lines that are only in the +dictionary (the second file), and lines that are in both files. Lines +only in the first file (standard input, our stream of words), are words +that are not in the dictionary. These are likely candidates for +spelling errors. This pipeline was the first cut at a production +spelling checker on Unix. + + There are some other tools that deserve brief mention. + +`grep' + search files for text that matches a regular expression + +`wc' + count lines, words, characters + +`tee' + a T-fitting for data pipes, copies data to files and to standard + output + +`sed' + the stream editor, an advanced tool + +`awk' + a data manipulation language, another advanced tool + + The software tools philosophy also espoused the following bit of +advice: "Let someone else do the hard part." This means, take +something that gives you most of what you need, and then massage it the +rest of the way until it's in the form that you want. + + To summarize: + + 1. Each program should do one thing well. No more, no less. + + 2. Combining programs with appropriate plumbing leads to results where + the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. It also leads to + novel uses of programs that the authors might never have imagined. + + 3. Programs should never print extraneous header or trailer data, + since these could get sent on down a pipeline. (A point we didn't + mention earlier.) + + 4. Let someone else do the hard part. + + 5. Know your toolbox! Use each program appropriately. If you don't + have an appropriate tool, build one. + + As of this writing, all the programs we've discussed are available +via anonymous `ftp' from: +`ftp://gnudist.gnu.org/textutils/textutils-1.22.tar.gz'. (There may be +more recent versions available now.) + + None of what I have presented in this column is new. The Software +Tools philosophy was first introduced in the book `Software Tools', by +Brian Kernighan and P.J. Plauger (Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-03669-X). +This book showed how to write and use software tools. It was written in +1976, using a preprocessor for FORTRAN named `ratfor' (RATional +FORtran). At the time, C was not as ubiquitous as it is now; FORTRAN +was. The last chapter presented a `ratfor' to FORTRAN processor, +written in `ratfor'. `ratfor' looks an awful lot like C; if you know +C, you won't have any problem following the code. + + In 1981, the book was updated and made available as `Software Tools +in Pascal' (Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-10342-7). Both books are still +in print and are well worth reading if you're a programmer. They +certainly made a major change in how I view programming. + + The programs in both books are available from Brian Kernighan's home +page (http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/bwk). For a number of years, there +was an active Software Tools Users Group, whose members had ported the +original `ratfor' programs to essentially every computer system with a +FORTRAN compiler. The popularity of the group waned in the middle 1980s +as Unix began to spread beyond universities. + + With the current proliferation of GNU code and other clones of Unix +programs, these programs now receive little attention; modern C +versions are much more efficient and do more than these programs do. +Nevertheless, as exposition of good programming style, and evangelism +for a still-valuable philosophy, these books are unparalleled, and I +recommend them highly. + + Acknowledgment: I would like to express my gratitude to Brian +Kernighan of Bell Labs, the original Software Toolsmith, for reviewing +this column. + + ---------- Footnotes ---------- + + (1) Redhat Linux 6.1, for the November 2000 revision of this article. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: GNU Free Documentation License, Next: Index, Prev: Opening the software toolbox, Up: Top + +Appendix A GNU Free Documentation License +***************************************** + + Version 1.1, March 2000 +* Menu: + +* How to use this License for your documents:: + + Copyright (C) 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA + + Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies + of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. + + 0.

Any member of the public is a licensee, + and is addressed as "you". + + A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the + Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with + modifications and/or translated into another language. + + A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter + section of the Document that deals exclusively with the + relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the + Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains + nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. + (For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of + mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) + The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with + the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, + philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them. + + The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose + titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in + the notice that says that the Document is released under this + License. + + The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are + listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice + that says that the Document is released under this License. + + A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, + represented in a format whose specification is available to the + general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly + and straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images + composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some + widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to + text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of + formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an + otherwise Transparent file format whose markup has been designed + to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not + Transparent. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". + + Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain + ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, + SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and + standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human modification. + Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that + can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML + or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally + available, and the machine-generated HTML produced by some word + processors for output purposes only. + + The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, + plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the + material this License requires to appear in the title page. For + works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title + Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the + work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. + + 2. VERBATIM COPYING + + You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either + commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the + copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License + applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you + add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You + may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading + or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, + you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you + distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow + the conditions in section 3. + + You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, + and you may publicly display copies. + + 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY + + If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than + 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you + must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, + all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and + Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly + and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The + front cover must present the full title with all words of the + title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material + on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the + covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and + satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in + other respects. + + If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit + legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit + reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto + adjacent pages. + + If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document + numbering more than 100, you must either include a + machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or + state in or with each Opaque copy a publicly-accessible + computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy + of the Document, free of added material, which the general + network-using public has access to download anonymously at no + charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the + latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you + begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that + this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated + location until at least one year after the last time you + distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or + retailers) of that edition to the public. + + It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of + the Document well before redistributing any large number of + copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated + version of the Document. + + 4. MODIFICATIONS + + You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document + under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you + release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with + the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus + licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to + whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these + things in the Modified Version: + + A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title + distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous + versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the + History section of the Document). You may use the same title + as a previous version if the original publisher of that version + gives permission. + B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or + entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the + Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal + authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it + has less than five). + C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the + Modified Version, as the publisher. + D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. + E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications + adjacent to the other copyright notices. + F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license + notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version + under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the + Addendum below. + G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant + Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's + license notice. + H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. + I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add + to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and + publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. + If there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, + create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of + the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item + describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous + sentence. + J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for + public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and + likewise the network locations given in the Document for + previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the + "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work + that was published at least four years before the Document + itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers + to gives permission. + K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", + preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the + substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements + and/or dedications given therein. + L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, + unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers + or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. + M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section + may not be included in the Modified Version. + N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to + conflict in title with any Invariant Section. + If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or + appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no + material copied from the Document, you may at your option + designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, + add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified + Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any + other section titles. + + You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains + nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various + parties-for example, statements of peer review or that the text has + been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition + of a standard. + + You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, + and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end + of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one + passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be + added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the + Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, + previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity + you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may + replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous + publisher that added the old one. + + The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this + License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to + assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. + + 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS + + You may combine the Document with other documents released under + this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for + modified versions, provided that you include in the combination + all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, + unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your + combined work in its license notice. + + The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and + multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single + copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name + but different contents, make the title of each such section unique + by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the + original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a + unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in + the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the + combined work. + + In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled + "History" in the various original documents, forming one section + entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled + "Acknowledgements", and any sections entitled "Dedications". You + must delete all sections entitled "Endorsements." + + 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS + + You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other + documents released under this License, and replace the individual + copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy + that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the + rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the + documents in all other respects. + + You may extract a single document from such a collection, and + distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert + a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow + this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of + that document. + + 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS + + A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other + separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of + a storage or distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a + Modified Version of the Document, provided no compilation + copyright is claimed for the compilation. Such a compilation is + called an "aggregate", and this License does not apply to the + other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on + account of their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves + derivative works of the Document. + + If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these + copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one + quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be + placed on covers that surround only the Document within the + aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole + aggregate. + + 8. TRANSLATION + + Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may + distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section + 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special + permission from their copyright holders, but you may include + translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the + original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a + translation of this License provided that you also include the + original English version of this License. In case of a + disagreement between the translation and the original English + version of this License, the original English version will prevail. + + 9. TERMINATION + + You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document + except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other + attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is + void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this + License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, + from you under this License will not have their licenses + terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. + + 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE + + The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of + the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new + versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may + differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See + http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. + + Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version + number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered + version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you + have the option of following the terms and conditions either of + that specified version or of any later version that has been + published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If + the Document does not specify a version number of this License, + you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the + Free Software Foundation. + + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: How to use this License for your documents, Up: GNU Free Documentation License + +ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents +==================================================== + +To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of +the License in the document and put the following copyright and license +notices just after the title page: + + + Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME. + Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document + under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 + or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; + with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the + Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. + A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU + Free Documentation License''. +If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant +Sections" instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no +Front-Cover Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of "Front-Cover +Texts being LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover Texts. + + If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we +recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of +free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to +permit their use in free software. + + +File: coreutils.info, Node: Index, Prev: GNU Free Documentation License, Up: Top + +Index +***** + + +* Menu: + +* !: Connectives for test. + (line 9) +* !=: String tests.

All callers changed. + Use mkstemp to create the file. + (sighandler): On hosts without sigaction, ignore signals while + cleaning up, instead of letting them interrupt cleanup. + (main): Initialize caught_signals.

Line tables are now in reverse order, + since they grow down while the character data grow up. + + * src/sort.c: + (<sys/resource.h>): Include if HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H. + (struct rlimit, getrlimit): Define a replacement if RLIMIT_DATA + is not defined. + (RLIMIT_AS): Define to RLIMIT_DATA if not defined. + (struct lines): Remove. + (struct buffer): New members nlines, line_bytes, eof. + Remove member newline_free; no longer needed, since the code no longer + runs out of line table space. + (SORTALLOC_MIN, SORTALLOC_DEFAULT_MIN): Remove. + (sort_size): Renamed from sortalloc; now applies to the sum of the + character data and the line table, not just the character data. + (MIN_SORT_SIZE, INPUT_FILE_SIZE_GUESS): New macros. + (linelength): remove. + (specify_sort_size): Don't worry about the distinction between the + character data and the line table; that is now the caller's + responsibility. + (default_sort_size): Return the value, instead of being executed for + side effect. Return half of available memory, or 1/16 of total memory, + whichever is greater; except do not exceed 1/2 of quota. + (sort_buffer_size): New function. + (initbuf): New arg LINE_BYTES. Ensure that the line array is properly + aligned. Initialize the new set of struct buffer members. + (buffer_linelim): New function. + (fillbuf): Return int, not size_t, since the callers merely care + whether the result is nonzero. New arg FILE so that error messages + can report the file name. Keep track of eof. Initialize the line + table too, taking its memory from the input buffer's memory; this + subsumes the old findlines function and removes the need for worrying + about running out of line table entries. + (checkfp, mergefps, sortlines, merge, sort): Adjust to the new storage + management regime, in particular the fact that line tables are now + filled in by fillbuf and are in reverse order. + (checkfp): Now takes char *, not const char *, since subroutines + require that now. Rewrite to avoid lint and duplicate code. + If line length alloc calculation overflows, + simply allocate enough memory to hold the line. + (mergefps): New arg FILES, used for buffer size calculation and error + messages. Rewrite to avoid lint. Do not loop if savealloc*2 + overflows. + (mergefps, merge): Zap temporary files eagerly rather than lazily; + this is needed because we now pass FILES to mergefps. + (sortlines): Args now point at end of arrays, not at beginnings. + (sort): Do not allocate temporary line array for sortlines; + instead, take the space from the same buffer. + (main): Adjust to sort_size and default_sort_size changes. + +2001-02-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com> + + Rename test input files to avoid conflicts on case-insensitive + file systems. + * tests/pr/2-Sf-t_notab: Rename from 2Sf-t_notab. + * tests/pr/2-S_f-t_notab: Rename from 2S_f-t_notab. + * tests/pr/W-72l17f-ll: Rename from W72l17f-ll. + * tests/pr/Test.pm: Update file names to reflect renamings. + Reported by Matthew Smith. + +2001-01-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com> + + * configure.in: Remove jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES. + Now it's invoked by jm_MACROS. + +2001-01-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com> + + * src/cksum.c (main): Use PACKAGE, not GNU_PACKAGE. + * src/tsort.c (main): Likewise. + * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. + (usage): Convert each TAB in --help output to a sequence of 8 spaces. + +2001-01-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com> + + * src/tail.c (usage): Split a string that was longer than 2048 bytes. + +2001-01-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com> + + * src/sort.c (main): Remove embedded \n from diagnostic. + +2001-01-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com> + + * src/od.c (ulonglong_t): Define place-holder type to avoid some #if + directives. + (LONGEST_INTEGRAL_TYPE): Remove definition. + (MAX_INTEGRAL_TYPE_SIZE): Use ulonglong_t instead of + LONGEST_INTEGRAL_TYPE. + (print_long_long): Compile this function even on systems without + long long support. + (decode_one_format): Remove #if directive. + + * src/od.c (decode_one_format): Guard use of print_long_long with + `#if HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG'.
