(init_buffer): Use it to ensure that the buffer is aligned.
This doesn't result in any measurable performance improvement
on my host (Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 stable, with default block size),
but I assume it does help on some hosts.
* lib/.cvsignore: Add __fpending.c, __fpending.h, closeout.c,
closeout.h.
* src/buffer.c: Incluse closeout.h.
(_open_archive): Use freopen rather than fopen, so
that stdlis is always either stdout or stderr. Use
close_stdout_set_file_name to report its name.
* src/tar.c: Include closeout.h and exitfail.h.
(parse_opt, usage): Call close_stdout as appropriate, to check for
write errors.
(decode_options): Exit with status TAREXIT_FAILURE, not 1.
(main): Set exit_failure, to exit with proper status on memory
allocation failure and the like.
Use close_stdout rather than rolling our own test.
GNU coding standards. Remove --license.
* gnulib.modules: Add version-etc-fsf.
* doc/tar.texi: Document the change.
* lib/.cvsignore: Add version-etc-fsf.c, version-etc.c, version-etc.h.
* scripts/Makefile.am (SED_CMD): Update PAKCAGE_NAME, not PACKAGE.
* scripts/backup.in: Remove --license. Change --version to conform
to GCS.
* scripts/restore.in: Likewise.
* scripts/backup.sh.in (license): Output briefer license in the
style of coreutils, for consistency with other changes.
* src/tar.c: Include <version-etc.h>.
(LICENSE_OPTION): Remove.
(options): Remove --license.
(license): Remove.
(parse_opt): Use version_etc instead of rolling it ourselves.
Remove --license.
* tests/version.at (tar --version): Check only the first line of
output.
* configure.ac: Prefer AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE to AC_CHECK_HEADERS.
Check for stropts.h and sys/filio.h too, for _FIOSATIME.
* doc/tar.texi: Change "modification time" to "data modification
time", "change time" to "status change time", and "filesystem" to
"file system", so that we use terminology consistent with POSIX.
Use American spacing rather than French for sentence ends.
"non-dependable" -> "undependable".
(Option Summary, Attributes): Explain better the pitfalls of the
--atime-preserve option, and suggest read-only mounts,loopback
mounts, and noatime mounts for older systems.
* doc/value.texi (op-atime-preserve-system): Renamed from
op-atime-preserver-system to fix a misspelling.
* src/common.h (enum atime_preserve): Use lower case for enum values.
* src/compare.c: Don't include utimens.h; no longer needed.
(diff_file): Use set_file_atime rather than utimens; avoid closing
diff_handle until after this, so that we can set the file time stamp
via the file descriptor rather than via its name.
* src/create.c: Don't include utimens.h; no longer needed.
(dump_regular_finish): Remove. All callers now do its work inline.
(dump_dir): New arg FD. All callers changed.
Use fdsavedir rather than savedir.
(unknown_file_error): Arg is a const pointer now.
(dump_file0): 2nd arg is a const pointer now.
Treat directories more like files, with respect to --atime-preserve.
For example, also warn if a directory changes while we are dumping it.
Prefer file descriptors to file names when retrieving/setting file
attributes; this saves path-resolution time and allows us to avoid
changing mtime/ctime on Solaris when restoring atime as root.
Use O_DIRECTORY when opening directories, to avoid some race conditions.
Do not reset atime if mtime has changed. Report an error if
we cannot reset atime.
First cut at adding support for --atime-preserve=system.
* doc/tar.texi (Option Summary): First cut at documenting it.
All other uses of --atime-preserve changed to --atime-preserve=replace.
* doc/value.texi (op-atime-preserve-replace, op-atime-preserver-system):
New.
(op-atime-preserve): Mention METHOD.
* src/common.h (atime_preserve): New enum.
(atime_preserve_option): Now of the enum type rather than bool.
All uses changed.
* src/compare.c (diff_file): Read with O_NOATIME if asked for.
* src/create.c (dump_file0): Read regular and CTG files with O_NOATIME
if asked for.
* src/tar.c (usage): Mention new usage.
(parse_opt): Parse new usage.
