1) Remove the function prototypes. No need for them, as the
functions are ordered.
2) Add fieldseplen, so the length of the field-separator is not
calculated nearly each time skipcolumn() is called.
3) rename next_col to skip_to_next_col so the purpose is clear,
also reorder the conditional accordingly.
4) Put parentheses around certain ternary expressions.
5) BUGFIX: Don't just exit() in check(), but make it return something,
so we can cleanly fshut() everything.
6) OFF-POSIX: Posix for no apparent reason does not allow more than
one file when the -c or -C flags are given.
This can be problematic when you want to check multiple files.
With the change 5), rewriting check() to return a value, I went
off-posix after discussing this with Dimitris to just allow
arbitrary numbers of files. Obviously, this does not break scripts
and is convenient for everybody who wants to quickly check a big
amount of files.
As soon as 1 file is "unsorted", the return value is 1, as expected.
For convenience reasons, check()'s warning now includes the filename.
7) BUGFIX: Set ret to 2 instead of 1 when the fshut(fp, *argv) fails.
8) BUGFIX: Don't forget to fshut stderr at the end. This would improperly
return 1 in the following case:
$ sort -c unsorted_file 2> /dev/full
9) Other style changes, line length, empty line before return.
Make it clear that <blank> characters just are spaces or tabs and
not a special group which needs special treatment for wide characters.
Also, and that was the only problem here, correctly calculate the
offset given by the key definitions for the start- and end-characters
using libutf-utility-functions.
Mark the progress in the README and put parentheses around the missing
flags which are insane to implement for no real gain.
Where should I start? It's a rather irrelevant tool and broken as is.
We'll re-add it as soon as the code has been fixed by the original
author.
Until then, better keep it out or some kids get hurt.
Use the *at functions instead of building paths manually. We do
still have path-building in recurse() and other areas, but the
long-term goal is to rid most interfaces of that for practical
and security reasons.
In this case, it's more or less trivial.
Also, refactor the manpage to be more consistent with the others.
BUGFIX: Return exit status 3 on error.
Mostly manpage-shuffling according to the changes in the corrigendum,
wording changes and more idiomatic expressions.
All this is finished up by marking the POSIX 2013 conformant tools
with
.St -p1003.1-2013
which is not available in older mandoc builds or nroff, but which
reflects what we actually did, so who cares?
This is a huge step and it's not far until we can release sbase 0.1.
I can't believe we've come this far! The idea is to look at the
2013 POSIX corrigendum for each tool and deep-test features before
making the first 0.1 release.
To keep the noise low, I'll do this in batches, not on a per-tool-
basis (as many of these are trivial to test).
In the meantime, I'll also think of a fitting STANDARDS section
for the non-POSIX tools. Now that the audits are pretty much done,
I can also have a more relaxed view on standards compliance instead
of having to dig through some uncleaned mess.
To mark this "new beginning", the README has gotten a liftover.
The POSIX 2008-column was more or less useless and as I expect the
checks to go along pretty quickly, I "reset" the compliance state
of all but the non-POSIX tools and will then go along and check every
single one of them in the next few days.
Apart from the few missing flags and audits, sbase should then be
ready to hit the world with the first release after 4 years of work.
Sort comes pretty much automatically, as no script relies on the
undefined behaviour of the input _not_ being sorted, we might as well
sort the sorted input already.
The only downside is memory usage, which can be an issue for large
files.
The o-flag was trivial to implement.
The flexible design already allowed to add these flags trivially.
Drop the -I and -L-flags, which are XSI-extensions.
The audit generally consisted of style-changes, dropping kitchen-
sink functions, updating the usage and using estrtonum instead of
strtol.
1) Refactor the manpage to use the num-syntax and concise wording.
2) Build format instead of having a list of static strings.
3) BUGFIX: if (!buf[0] || buf[0] == '\n') Process last-read-line
properly.
4) BUGFIX: In case we hit a formatting line, print a newline instead
of just dropping it.
5) Use a switch instead of having spaghetti-cases.
6) Don't use printf-magic but explicitly do a putchar(' ')-loop.
7) Update usage(), indent properly.
8) BUGFIX: strchr is not NULL when type[0] is \0. Check for \0
separately beforehand.
9) Reorder arg.h-cases for better readability.
No bugs found, but I changed intmax_t to long long to make it more
predictable and removed some of the kitchen-sinking.
Don't return structs themselves, as this is not very elegant.
Do it like functions like stat(), which take a pointer to a
struct to fill.
I've been wanting to do this for a while now, as tar(1) used to
be one of messiest and cruftiest tools.
First off, before walking through the audit, I'll talk about
what the DIRFIRST-flag for recurse() does.
It basically calls fn() on the first-level-dir before calling
it's subentries. It's necessary here, because else the order
of the tar-files would've been wrong (it would try to create
dir/file before creating dir/).
Now, to the audit:
1) Update manpage, fix mistake that compression is also available
for compressing. It's only available for extracting.
2) Define the major, minor and makedev macros from glibc by ourselves.
No need to rely on them, as they are common sense.
decomp()
3) Simple refactorization.
putoctal()
4) Add a truncation check for snprintf().
archive()
5) BUGFIX: Add checks to any checkable function, don't blindly call
them, this is harmful and there are 100 ways to exploit that.
6) Use estrlcpy() instead of snprintf() wherever possible, fix
alignment.
7) BUGFIX: Terminate the result-buffer of readlink(), check if
it even succeeded.
8) Fix sizeof()-formatting.
unarchive()
9) BUGFIX: Add checks to any checkable function, don't blindly call
them, this is harmful and there are 100 ways to exploit that.
10) BUGFIX: strtoul can happily return negative numbers. Add checks
for that and also if the full string has been processed.
11) Remove calls to perror(). We have eprintf, use it.
12) BUGFIX: "minor = strtoul(h->mode, 0, 8);". We need h->minor of
course.
13) Fix typo "usupported", remove fprintf-call.
print()
14) Check fread().
xt()
15) Get rid of snprintf-magic. Use estrlcat().
16) BUGFIX: check for ferror() on the tarfile.
usage()
17) Update it. The old usage() was like 1000 years old.
main()
18) Add DIRFIRST-flag to the recursor.
19) Don't print usage() when a mode is re-set. We allow this in
general.
20) Add function checks and fix error messages.
21) Add tarfilename-global for proper error-messages.
1) Properly document e, f and m-flags in the manpage.
2) Clear up the code for the m-flag-handling. Add idiomatic
'/'-path-traversal as already seen in mkdir(1).
3) Unwrap the SWAP_BUF()-macro.
4) BUGFIX: Actually handle the f-flag properly. Only resolve
the dirname and append the basename later.
5) Use fputs() instead of printf("%s", ...).
Add "none" to ls, as all pending flags are optional.
sed is feature-complete, so I marked it like that. It needs an audit
though.
seq is implicitly UTF-8-ready, will be audited later.
I marked out -m, -s and -x, because they are either visual flags
for interactive mode, which are better solved with tools made for this
job, or superfluous in another sense.
For example, -s basically "steals" the job from du.
In general, some of these options might still be easy to implement.
The options -S and -f are important though, as they are sorting-options
with real use.
Only add empty lines before returns, everything else is ok.
Also add the STANDARDS-section to the manpage, which was only
present as a heading until now.
1) Specify default in manpage under flag.
2) Boolean and return value style fixes.
3) argv-argc-centric loop.
4) No need to check for argc == 1 before the fflag-subroutine.
5) Remove indentation.
6) Empty line before return.
1) Add usage().
2) Idiomatic argv0-setter. We don't use arg.h, as we do not process
flags or arguments.
3) Remove program-name from eprintf-call. This is done in the eprintf-
function itself when the DEBUG-define is set.
We'll activate it by default later.
4) Add empty line before return.
1) Refactor the manpage with num-options, optimize wording to be more
concise and to the point, pid also specifies process groups.
2) Make int sig const.
3) Remove prototypes.
4) /* not reached */ consistency.
5) Refactor usage() with eprintf.
6) Refactor arg-parser with a switch, use estrtonum
7) Use return instead of exit() in main()
8) argc-argv-correctness.
1) Use num-wording in the manpage, remove offensive remark against
the beloved -num-syntax <3.
2) Style changes.
3) Report errors of getline.
4) argv-argc-centric argument loop.
5) Rename r to ret for consistency.
1) Remove the return-value-enum, which is not necessary for a simple
program like this.
2) Don't disallow both l and s to be specified. This is undefined
behaviour defined by POSIX, so we don't start demanding things
from the user.
3) Replace exit() with return (we are in main).
4) Refactor main loop to never return in the loop, but actually
set the same-value and break, which increases readability.
5) Remove the final fclose()'s. The OS will take care of them, no
need to become cleansy here.
6) Use idiomatic return-value using same. This concludes the
increase of readability in the main-loop.
1) Reorder local variables.
2) Cleanup error messages, use %zu for size_t.
3) combine putchar(' ') and fputs to substitute printf(" %s", s).
4) Fix usage().
5) argv-argc-usage-fix.
6) Add empty line before return.
Similar to the chgrp(1)-audit:
1) Refactor manpage so it's actually fun to read
2) BUGFIX: Call (l)chown properly when the H-flag is specified
(only when depth > 0)
3) BUGFIX: Call (l)chown properly when the h-flag is specified
(only when depth = 0).
4) BUGFIX: Only recurse() in chgrp() when the initial chownf()
succeeds.
5) Style fixes, argv-basing.
6) Rename status to ret for consistency.
7) Add blank line before return.
