* doc/find.texi (Single File): Explain that "-exec command ;"
returns true of the command exited with a status of 0.
(Multiple Files): Explain that "-execdir command +" always returns
true. Likewise for "-exec command +".
* find/find.1: similar changes.
* doc/find.texi (Single File): Correct the description of what the
current directory will be when the command specified by -execdir
gets run. This fixes a documentation but reported by Eric
Hanchrow.
* NEWS: Mention this fix.
Also, do not reject -perm /MODE merely because of POSIXLY_CORRECT.
Problem reported in <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?38474>.
* NEWS:
* doc/find.texi (Mode Bits): Document this.
(Environment Variables): POSIXLY_CORRECT does not affect -perm.
* find/parser.c (parse_help): Mention /MODE, not +MODE.
(non_posix_mode): Remove.
(parse_perm): Remove support for -perm +MODE.
Do not reject -perm /MODE merely because POSIXLY_CORRECT is set;
POSIXLY_CORRECT is not supposed to be for pedantic checking.
* doc/find.texi (xargs options): Explain that the logical end of
file marker string set with -E is not special if -d or -0 was
specified.
* xargs/xargs.c (usage): Mention this in the --help output.
(read_string): Correct the function header comment to point out
that there is no logical end-of-file processing for this case.
Also point out that the delimiter may not always be NUL.
This documentation update fixes Savannah bug #36652.
(main): Emit a warning message if -0/-d is specified and -E was
also used.
* xargs/testsuite/xargs.gnu/E_-0.exp: Don't compare stderr output,
since for this case xargs now emits a warning message.
* NEWS: Mention this change.
* xargs/xargs.1: Expand on the warning about sharing stdout for
"xargs -P".
* doc/find.texi (Controlling Parallelism): Add a suitable warning
about sharing resources here, too.
* NEWS: Mention that all relevant documentation was updated with
this warning.
* doc/find.texi (Top): Re-order menu items to be consistent with
ordering of sections ('Reference' is moved).
(Print File Information): Add missing menu item 'Formatting Flags'
and remove that menu item from inside 'Format Directives'.
(Formatting Flags): Hence this is a subsection, not a
subsubsection.
The recent change v0.0-7611-g3a9002d in gnulib that made fts_open strip
trailing slashes from input path names had a negative impact on
findutils that relies on the old fts_open behavior to implement POSIX
requirement that each path operand of the find utility shall be
evaluated unaltered as it was provided, including all trailing slash
characters.
A new bit flag FTS_VERBATIM was added later as the option to disable
that stripping when it is not desirable.
* gnulib: update to latest, to get FTS_VERBATIM support.
* find/ftsfind.c (ftsoptions): Set the FTS_VERBATIM bit.
As a result of the gnulib update, re-generate doc/regexprops.texi.
* doc/regexprops.texi: re-generate to describe the changes to
gnulib for the regular expression types "awk" (to add character
class support), "gnu-awk" (to add range support) and "posix-awk"
(also to add range suport).
* NEWS: Describe this change.
First, change "cant" to "can't" manually in m4/nullsort.m4,
since "cant" had 3 replacement options. Then remove "dum"
from the LocalWords lists in doc/*.texi. It was not used.
Finally, perform the remaining changes mechanically using
http://github.com/lyda/misspell-check and
some perl to massage its diagnostics into sed -i commands:
git ls-files|grep -v '\.po$'|misspellings -f -|perl -nl \
-e '/^(.*?)\[(\d+)\]: (\w+) -> "(.*?)"$/ or next;' \
-e '($file,$n,$l,$r)=($1,$2,$3,$4); $q="'\''"; $r=~s/$q/$q\\$q$q/g;'\
-e 'print "sed -i $q${n}s!$l!$r!$q $file"'|bash
* find/print.c (insert_fprintf): Reject %(, %{ and %[.
(make_segment): Remove code which previously supposedly rejected
these format specifiers, but in fact did nothing. Replace with
an assertion to document the fact that we do not expect to see
these format characters in make_segment.
* find/testsuite/find.gnu/printf-reserved.exp: New test case, for
%(, %{ and %[, which are all rejected.
* find/testsuite/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST_EXP): Add
find.gnu/printf-reserved.exp.
* doc/find.texi (Reserved and Unkown Directives): Document this.
* find/find.1: Document this.
* NEWS: Mention this change.
* cfg.mk: Enable the sc_texinfo_acronym check. Exempt
doc/perm.text, which isn't ours anyway.
* doc/find.texi (Deleting Files): Say just POSIX rather than
@acronym{POSIX}, simply because this is the convention in GNU
documentation. The motivation is that it's hard to do so
consistently (because, for example, you can't use @acronym in a
node name).
* .x-sc_prohibit_doubled_word: don't perform this check on
xargs/testsuite/xargs.sysv/iquotes.xo or ChangeLog.
Don't check .po files for doubled English words (because they're
not in English).
* find/tree.c: Modify some text to avoid saying "AND and",
which one of the syntax checks doesn't like.
(opt_expr): Likewise.
(consider_arm_swap): Likewise.
* README: Likewise.
* doc/find.texi (Error Messages From xargs): the message "can not
fit single argument within argument list size limit" is now
"argument list too long".
* xargs/xargs.c (main): Change default_cmd from "/bin/echo" (which
may not be present on some POSIX systems) to "echo" (which must
exist somewhere on $PATH on any POSIX system).
* doc/find.texi (Multiple Files): document this.
* NEWS: Describe this change.
* xargs/testsuite/xargs.sysv/empty_def-t.xe: Change /bin/echo to
echo.
