The -H, -L and -P options are ignored unless the -R option is
specified. In addition, these options override each other and the
command's actions are determined by the last one specified.
Add:
The default is as if the -P option had been specified.
- bump the manpage's date (because of the next change);
- note that cp(1) does not preserve hard links (even with `-R'),
and refer to pax(1) there as well as in the `SEE ALSO' section
for such functionality (this change is based upon a similar note
in FreeBSD's version of the manpage);
- change a wording, for more overall consistency.
it will always be displayed when an unprivilegied user moves files across
filesystems (mv(1) uses cp -p in that case). After all, there is no warning
that we loose a setuid bit during a move or copy, so this makes sense.
Fixes bin/45259
Also introduce library functions for copying extended attributes from one
file to another:
- extattr_copy_file, extattr_copy_fd, extattr_copy_link, with FreeBSD style,
where a namespace is to be supplied
- cpxattr, fcpxattr, lcpxattr, with Linux style, where all namespaces
accessible to the caller are copied, and the others are silently ignored.
Write out the mmap-ed data in small chunks to avoid locking the output
file for a long time.
Suggested by David Holland on "source-changes-d" mailing list.
a very annoying property: if the source media is slow (like a slow
network), the target file will be locked for the duration of the
entire max 8MB write and cause processes attempting to e.g. stat()
it to "tstile" (for several minutes in the worst case). Revisit
this if/when vnode locking gets a little smarter.
chs ok (although he would rather see vnode locking improvements,
but that's a slightly larger project)
need to be on a stack instead of being a single variable since
directories are processed depth-first. Otherwise dne randomly
depends on the previously processed entry.
This fixes both chmod of non-created directories (they used to be
chmod'd even when not created if their last child element did not
exist in the target subtree) and a "foo exists" bug exposed by my
last commit which removed directory sorting.
all regression tests passed
before directories since files (usually) are in the same cylinder
group and subdirectories aren't. However, this mostly changed with
the new ffs dirpref algorithm in 2001.
No sorting has two effects:
1) copy appears to be somewhat faster (e.g. on my laptop cp'ing build
objdir to tmpfs is 7% faster after the change)
2) source file parameters no longer get randomly shuffled due to
fts doing an unstable sort of them. this means that
"cp 1 2 3 4 dest/" will copy the files in that order instead
of e.g. 3 4 1 2.
output behave itself. PR bin/37018 from Dieter Roelants.
(I used a slightly different patch to make sure "any file failed"
didn't get lost in the shuffle, and renamed the variables in the name
of greater clarity.)
"-R" claims:
-R [...] Created directories have the same mode as the corre-
sponding source directory, unmodified
by the process' umask.
Make this actually true.
In addition, make '-P' (no symbolic links are followed) apply even if
'-R' is not specified. This allows users to overwrite symbolic links
with files and/or to copy symbolic links over a file without indirecting
through the link (ie a copy of a link turns the target into a link, not
a copy of the file pointed to by the source).
If stdout is a tty, use vis(3) to print any filenames to prevent garbage
from being printed if the filename contains control- or other non-printable
characters.
While here, sprinkle some EXIT_FAILURE and NOTREACHED where appropriate.
