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.
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.
1) Update manpage with the num-syntax.
2) Use size_t for years and derivatives.
3) Use putchar instead of printf wherever possible.
4) Update usage().
5) Style changes.
1) Refactor manpage.
2) De-globalize local values.
3) update usage().
4) sort local variable declarations.
5) fix wrong argument in strtonum (3 -> 1).
6) argc-argv style, boolean style.
7) check bytes > 0 before accessing b.lines[i][bytes - 1]
relying on len only makes sense but let's not push it.
7) don't break on maxlen > (chars - 1) / 2. This didn't even
make sense.
8) _correctly_ calculate cols and rows in a readable way.
9) Rewrite loop over rows and cols in a readable way and
using putchar in a loop instead of printf-magic or fputs
where not necessary.
1) Clarify behaviour when the f-flag is given and a target is in its
own way.
2) Fix usage()-style.
3) Group local variable declarations.
4) reorder args
5) argc style, other boolean style changes
6) improve error messages
7) set argv[argc - 1] to NULL to allow argv-centric loop later
8) BUGFIX: POSIX specifies that when with the f-flag there's a
situation where a file stands in its own way for linking it
should be ignored.
9) Add weprintf() where possible, so we don't pussy out when there's
a small issue. This is sbase ffs!
1) Update manpage, refactor the HLP-section and other wordings.
2) BUGFIX: If chmod() fails, don't recurse.
3) Rewrite the arg-loop, fixing several issues:
BUGFIX: Handle multi-flags (e.g. -RH)
BUGFIX: Properly handle the termination flag --, error on e.g. --x
BUGFIX: Error out on an empty flag -.
4) Refactor logic after the arg-loop, which is now simpler thanks
to argv-incremention.
1) No need for strchr() in mkdirp or a while-loop. Rewrite it in
a sane and readable way.
2) fix usage according to the manpage.
3) order includes, don't align local variables.
4) argc-style-fix.
5) BUGFIX: Don't try to chmod() *argv when mkdir() / mkdirp() failed.
6) Add newline before return in two places.
1) Use (s)size_t in head().
2) BUGFIX: only check buf[len - 1] when len > 0, else there would
be an overflow when getline returns 0 (which can happen) and a
very potential segmentation fault.
3) fix error-messages.
4) update usage().
5) argv-argc-style.
6) clear up the main loop with if (newline).
7) add newline before return.
1) Make argument-naming consistent with other tools (cp(1), ...)
2) style fixes
3) usage() fix
4) BUGFIX: Probably from the old non-arg.h days, the directory-
check was only done when argc > 3, but with arg.h, this ignores
the case when 3 arguments were given.
This is actually a pretty serious issue and I'm glad it's fixed.
5) Moreover, be more verbose when stat() fails and make it clearer
what the hell is going on at this checkpoint.
1) "duplicate" implies that you can only specify two outputs,
"multiply" is a better word describing the functionality.
2) fix other wording in the manpage
3) fix usage()
4) reorder local variables
5) fix sizeof() style
6) we need argv later, don't increment argv and rather iterate
over argc.
7) Improve error messages, print the filename which the write
failed to instead of printing the buffer itself (how much
sense does that make, printing 1024 Bytes of garbage?).
Also, give the name of the function which failed.
1) no need to include sys/stat.h
2) remove the enum which just added a layer too thick on this simple
program
3) argc-style, other style
4) weprintf instead of enprintf, then save the error-message of
execvp before and return the proper status.
5) write consistent "not reached" comment.
col is used to display troff documents in ttys, removing the reverse
line feeds generated by .2C in ms. This implementation keeps the limit
of 256 lines of 800 characteres of the original implementation.
1) Refactor the manpage, which has been a bloody mess, documenting
fantasy-flags (-d for example) and add a STANDARDS section
2) fix usage()
3) sort ARG-block
4) Check return-value of stat() separately, so a lack of permissions
doesn't tell the user "the directory doesn't exist", which could
be a bit confusing.
5) Add empty line before return.
1) Fix usage()
2) Group local variables
3) Idiomatic argv-loop
4) BUGFIX: When the m-flag is specified, POSIX clearly says:
"Set the file permission bits of the newly-created FIFO to the specified mode
value."
This means, that if mkfifo() fails for some reason, it should not try to
chmod() the given path (which has been fixed with the "else if")
A simple testcase is:
$ touch testfile; mkfifo -m 000 testfile;
GNU mkfifo(1): ls -l testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 testfile
sbase mkfifo(1): ls -l testfile
---------- 1 testfile
5) Add blank line before return
1) val is sufficient as "int" (read the standard)
2) BUGFIX: If getpriority fails, it returns -1 and sets errno.
Previously, it would correctly catch the errno but not take
care of the fact that by then val has been decremented by 1.
Only change val if the getpriority-call has been successful.
3) Add LIMIT()-macro from st to increase readability.
4) setpriority returns < 0 on failure
5) Remove bikeshedding-comment. Read the standard if you wonder.
6) return-value trick from env(1)
1) style fix (don't arrange local variables)
2) BUGFIX: Previously, if ret was turned 1 for some folder, it
would disable the p-flag for every following folders, which
is not desired.
Instead, the "else if" makes sure that the p-flag-section is
only entered when the initial rmdir succeeds.
3) BUGFIX: Previously, the program would cancel with eprintf if
it failed to remove one folder in the parent-pathname.
This is not desired, as we have other folders pending.
Instead, print a warning for the current failing parent-folder,
set ret to 1 and break off the loop at this point.
This allows to finish the other pending folders without issues.
1) Update usage as already done in the manpage
2) group and sort local variable declarations
3) Be pedantic about the number of options. Don't just ignore it
if argc > 1.
1) Shorten synopsis and reflect this in the manual
2) Use argv0 in usage()
3) Decrement argc in argv-loop for consistency
4) Make it clearer which error-code results from which errno in enprintf
5) Use idiomatic for-loop also for environ. Don't increment these pointers
in the loop itself!
1) Fix usage ... spacing
2) use *argv instead of argv[0] in the idiomatic for-loop
3) Stop the naïve usage of "/dev/fd/0" and use plain stdin
instead (This also makes error-messages more consistent).
4) Add newline before return
5) Remove comma in manpage
Now that -c behaves correctly, the tools are pretty much done.
Only the manpages were not clear enough what happens when you
specify the c-flag.
This is fixed now.
