command to include explicit mention of the -o opt and +o opt forms.
Fix the synopsis to have the 4 forms that the description of the
utility discusses, rather than expecting users to understand that
the 3rd and 4th forms of the command were combined into the 3rd
synopsis format. After doing that, the options in the 3rd format
no longer need to be optional, so now all 4 formats are distinct
(previously, the third, omitting everything that was optional, and
the first, could not be distinguished).
While here, some wording and formatting "improvements" as well (nothing
too serious).
overflow checked snprintf(). for res_debug.c and res_query.c, convert
from sprintf() to snprintf().
tested scp and rcp fail properly with too-long paths.
tested getaddrinfo fails as expected for too-long domains.
tested dig and ping for similar (res_debug.c/res_query.c).
created a temporary fs with quotas to test edquota with a long EDITOR.
did not test ypserv directly, but it's the same pattern.
avoids GCC 12 snprintf() warnings, and reduces total code size.
most of these are like, eg
void foo(int[2]);
with either of these
void foo(int*) { ... }
void foo(int[]) { ... }
in some cases (such as stat or utimes* calls found in our header files),
we now match standard definition from opengroup.
found by GCC 12.
Rename compiler-warning-disable variables from
GCC_NO_warning
to
CC_WNO_warning
where warning is the full warning name as used by the compiler.
GCC_NO_IMPLICIT_FALLTHRU is CC_WNO_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH
Using the convention CC_compilerflag, where compilerflag
is based on the full compiler flag name.
The markup was the same (modulo Li vs Cm for the dot before the
seconds), but use the same source markup grouping/layout in both to
make this fact more obvious.
Add more error handling to pax -r -w so that any failure
during the copy to the temporary file (including a failed flush)
prevents any existing destination file from being replaced
with the partial (including possibly empty) temporary file.
The partial temporary file is removed. pax still exists non-zero.
Thanks to Michael van Elst (mlelstv@) for the analysis
of the problem in the PR.
Should fix PR misc/33753.
If copying a list of files from stdin, exit zero instead of non-zero
if there are no files supplied.
AFAICT, POSIX doesn't require a non-zero an error in this situation,
since there are no files to not match.
Fix from PR bin/41736 by Lloyd Parkes.
operation when it will have no effect (other than changing the
inode's ctime value) then chmod and chflags should also have -d
flags for the same purpose. Make it so.
EACCES is from the namei(), treat it just like ENOENT or ENOTDIR
(and if that is the final error, the exit status from a failed exec
will be 127). If the EACCES is from the exec() itself, that indicates
the file to be run exists, but has no 'x' permission. That's a
meaningful error (as distinct from just "yet another PATH element
search failure").
While here, return the first meaingful error we encountered while
searching PATH, rather than the last (and ENOENT if there are none
of those).
This change results in some failed command executions returning status
127 now, where they returned 126 before - which better reflects the
intent of those values (127 is simply "not found" whereas 126 is "found
but couldn't be executed").
We still do nothing to distinguish errors encountered looking up the
command name give, with errors encountered (by the kernel) attempting to
run an interpreter needed for the exec to succeed (#! line path, or
/libexec/ld.elf_so and similar - or anything else of a similar nature).
version of the POSIX standard (Issue 8). I believe we were already
compliant with what is to be required, but POSIX is now encouraging
(and will likely require in a later version) that if a tilde expansion
produces a string which ends in a '/' and the '~' that was expanded
is immediately followed by a '/' in the input word, that one of those
two slashes be omitted. The worst (current) example of this is
when HOME=/ and we expand ~/foo - previously producing //foo which is
(in POSIX) a path with implementation defined semantics, and so not
what we should be generating by accident. Change that, so now if
the ~ prefix expansion ends in a '/' and there is a '/' following
immediately after, the resulting word contains only one of those
chars (in the example just given, we will now produce /foo instead).
POSIX is also making it clear that the expansion that results from
the tilde expansion is treated as quoted (not subject to pathname
expansion, or field splitting, or any var/arith/command substitutions)
and that if HOME="" the expansion of ~ must generate "" (not nothing).
Our implementation did all of that already (though older versions
used to treat an empty expansion of HOME the same as if HOME was
unset - that was fixed some time ago).
The actual modification made here is probably smaller than this log entry,
and without added comments, certainly is!
the builtin 'alias' command. This allows portability (not that
anyone should really care with aliases) for scripts from other
shells in which the alias command has options, and the -- is
required to allow the first alias name to begin with a '-'.
That is, for us, alias -x='echo x' works fine, always has,
and still does. But other shells treat that as an attempt
to use the -x option (and maybe -= etc), and require
alias -- -x='echo x'. For us that variant used to complain
about the alias -- not existing (as an arg with no '=' is
treated as a request to extract the value of the alias).
Posix also generally requires all standard commands (or
which "alias" is one, unfortunately) to support '--' even
if they have no options, for precisely this reason.
As best I can tell, the rest of what mandoc -Wall complains about is
incorrect (it could probably be avoided by adding more markup, but
there doesn't seem to be any point).
in its next version, so it can be used as -d '' (to specify a \0 end
character for the record read, rather than the default \n) to accompany
find -print0 and xargs -0 options (also likely to be added).
Add support for -d now. While here fix a bug where escaped nul
chars (\ \0) in non-raw mode were not being dropped, as they are
when not escaped (if not dropped, they're still not used in any
useful way, they just ended the value at that point).
sh has been remembering the process group of a job for a while now, but
using that for almost nothing.
The old way to resume a job, was to try each pid in the job with a
SIGCONT (using it as the process group identifier via killpg()) until
one worked (or none did, in which case resuming would be impossible,
but that never actually happened). This wasn't as bad as it seems,
as in practice the first process attempted was *always* the correct
one. Why the loop was considered necessary I am not sure. Nothing
but the first could possibly work.
This worked until a fix for an obscure possible bug was added a
while ago - now a process which has already finished, and had its
zombie collected via wait*() is no longer ever considered to have
a pid which is a candidate for use in any system call. That's
because the kernel might have reassigned that pid for some newly
created process (we have no idea how much time might have passed
since the pid was returned to the kernel for reuse, it might have
happened weeks ago).
This is where the example in bin/57053 revealed a problem.
That PR is really about a quite different problem in zsh (from pksrc)
and should be pkg/57053, but as the test case also hit the problem
here, it was assumed (by some) they were the same issue.
The example is (in a small directory)
ls | less
which is then suspended (^Z), and resumed (fg). Since the directory
is small, ls will be finished, and reaped by sh - so the code would
now refuse to use its pid for the killpg() call to send the SIGCONT.
The (useless) loop would attempt to use less's pid for this purpose
(it is still alive at this point) but that would fail, as that pid
is not a process group identifier, of anything. Hence the job
could not be resumed.
Before the PR (or preceding mailing list discussion) the change here
had already been made (part of a much bigger set of changes, some of
which might follow - sometime). We now actually use the job's
remembered process group identifier when we want the process group
identifier, instead of trying to guess which pid it happens to be
(which actually never took any guessing, it was, and is always the
pid of the first process created for the job). A couple of minor
fixes to how the pgrp is obtained, and used, accompany the changes
to use it when appropriate.
also the process group identifier (that's a requirement from POSIX, and
is what we have always done - just not been explicit about in sh.1).
Add a note that this value and $! are not necessarily the same (currently,
and perhaps forever, never the same in a pipeline with 2 or more elements).
the command line (with both - and + forms) - overrides the presence (or
otherwise) of a '-' as argv[0][0].
Since this allows any shell to be a login shell (which simply means that
it runs /etc/profile and ~/.profile at shell startup - there are no other
side effects) add a new, always set at startup, variable NBSH_INVOCATION
which has a char string as its value, where each char has a meaning,
more or less related to how the shell was started. See sh(1).
This is intended to allow those startup scripts to tailor their behaviour
to the nature of this particular login shell (it is possible to detect
whether a shell is a login shell merely because of -l, or whether it would
have been anyway, before the -l option was added - and more). The
var could also be used to set different values for $ENV for different
uses of the shell.
Note these do not alter anything about what the man page specifies,
just say a couple of things in a slightly better way, hence no Dd
update accompanies this change (deliberately).
back where it belongs, and make it stand out more, so other text is
less likely to find itself pushed between the comment and the text
to which it appears. This change should make no visible difference
to the man page displayed.
NFC for any normal shell (not compiled with debugging (sh DEBUG) enabled.
We have had a defined debug mode for this for years, but since I have
not often played in this arena, never used it. Until recently (relatively).
This (or a small part of it) played a part in discovering the fc -e
bug cause. I have had it in my tree a while now - recent changes
kept causing merge conflicts (all because I hadn't bothered to commit
this), so I think now is the time...
